Effective on October 5, 2022, Orion acquired all the membership interests of Voltrek, an electric vehicle charging station solutions provider (the “Voltrek Acquisition”). The Voltrek Acquisition agreement provided that, depending upon the relative EBITDA growth of Voltrek’s business in fiscal 2023, 2024 and 2025, Orion could pay up to an additional $3.0 million, $3.5 million and $7.15 million, respectively, in earn-out payments. These compensatory payments do not fall within the scope of ASC 805, Business Combinations, and have been, and will be, expensed over the course of the earn-out periods to the extent they were or are earned. As of June 30, 2025, Orion has recorded $3.3 million of accrued acquisition earn-out expense that remains unpaid. On June 23, 2025, we entered into a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") with respect to our remaining earn-out obligations owed to Final Frontier pursuant to the Voltrek Acquisition, and on July 31, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the Term Sheet (the "Term Sheet Amendment"), each as further described in Note 12 below.
