Commitments and Contingencies Environmental The Company's operations are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local and international environmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company's manufacturing sites have an extended history of industrial use, and soil and groundwater contamination have or may have occurred in the past and might occur or be discovered in the future. Environmental efforts are difficult to assess for numerous reasons, including the discovery of new remedial sites, discovery of new information and scarcity of reliable information pertaining to certain sites, improvements in technology, changes in environmental laws and regulations, numerous possible remedial techniques and solutions, difficulty in assessing the involvement of and the financial capability of other potentially responsible parties and the extended time periods over which remediation occurs. Other than the items listed below, the Company is not aware of material environmental liabilities which are probable and estimable. As the Company's environmental contingencies are more clearly determined, it is reasonably possible that amounts may need to be accrued. However, management does not believe, based on current information, that environmental remediation requirements will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Future environmental spending is probable at the Company's site in Nashville, Tennessee, the eastern portion of which had been used historically as a landfill, and a western parcel therein, previously acquired from a third party, which reportedly had housed, but no longer does, a fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing facility. The Company has an estimated liability with a range of $0.9 million - $1.3 million . The remedial action plan for that site has yet to be finalized, and as such, the Company has recorded a liability, which represents the Company's best estimate, of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2019 . Litigation In 2018, following a review of its global corporate and financing structure, Innophos management initiated a global entity simplification plan which included a strategy to merge two of the Companys Dutch subsidiaries by the end of 2018. The contemplated merger was not completed in 2018 due to an administrative error committed and acknowledged by the Companys Dutch legal counsel, Heussen B.V ("Heussen"). Such merger was ultimately completed in 2019. On May 17, 2019, changes to Dutch tax law were enacted and as expected, with retroactive effect to January 1, 2018. As a result of these changes in Dutch tax law and the merger of the two Dutch subsidiaries not completed in 2018, the Company recorded in its second quarter 2019 results a Dutch corporate income tax liability of $6.6 million for its 2018 tax year. Based on the foreign exchange rate on the date of payment, the liability was settled for $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2019. On July 23, 2019, the Company initiated a malpractice legal proceeding in the Netherlands against Heussen seeking reimbursement for all costs and liabilities resulting from their administrative error, including all related tax liabilities and other associated expenses and damages. Any recovery by the Company in respect of that proceeding will be recorded gross in the period it is received. In addition, the Company is a party to legal proceedings and contractual disputes that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Except as to the matters specifically discussed, management believes the likelihood that the ultimate disposition of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows is remote. However, these matters cannot be predicted with certainty and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of them could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
