Commitments and Contingencies | Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any accruals for loss contingencies associated with litigation. The Company will make accruals related to loss contingencies in instances where it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Loss contingencies that are either reasonably possible but not probable or probable but not reasonably estimable, are disclosed in the notes to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
On March 3, 2025, a putative shareholder derivative action was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against EAH, our directors and certain of our officers, asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims related to the 2024 Private Placement of common stock and warrants that were issued to EAH in September 2024. Eve Holding was also named as a nominal defendant in the case. The action is captioned Taylor v. Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2025-0233-NAC. The complaint seeks, among other things, declaratory relief, damages, costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses. Pursuant to the operative scheduling order, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on April 30, 2025.
On May 28, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion to certify questions regarding the constitutionality of recent amendments to 8 Del. C. § 144, which related to certain arguments raised in the defendants’ respective motions to dismiss, to the Delaware Supreme Court. On June 20, 2025, the Court entered a joint stipulated order staying all proceedings pending the Delaware Supreme Court’s resolution of overlapping constitutional questions regarding the recent amendments 8 Del. C. § 144 raised in another unrelated action, Rutledge v. Clearway Energy Group LLC, et al., C.A. No. 2025-0499-LWW. Briefing in the Rutledge appeal before the Delaware Supreme Court is scheduled to conclude in September 2025.
Based on the early stage of the case, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome or estimate the range of possible loss, if any.
Due to the nature of our business, from time to time, we are or may be subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things, performance matters under our supplier contracts and other business arrangements, workers’ compensation, premises liability and other claims. We do not expect that any of these disputes and claims will have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or cash flows. Economic Grant Agreement
On May 14, 2025, the Company entered into an Economic Grant Agreement (the “Grant Agreement”) with Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (“Finep”), a Brazilian federal public company, with support of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, and The National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development. Pursuant to the Grant Agreement, Finep has agreed to grant to the Company up to R$90.0 million (approximately $16.5 million) in economic subsidy funding in connection with the execution of a project intended to transform the sustainable and accessible air mobility ecosystem in Brazil with eVTOL technology (the “Project”). The number of installments, the timing of their release and respective values with respect to the funding are subject to certain terms and conditions under the Grant Agreement, including budgetary and financial availability, as well as the conditions determined by the Executive Board of Finep. In addition, the Company continues to participate in the costs of preparing and executing the Project with its own resources, in the minimum amount of R$100.8 million (approximately $18.3 million) as well as to contribute the necessary resources to cover any shortcomings or additions in its execution.
The Project resources provided under the Grant Agreement shall be used by the Company within 36 months from the date of signing of the Grant Agreement, after which the unused installments will be automatically canceled. The period of use of the resources may be extended, at the discretion and in accordance with the internal rules of Finep, upon prior request of the Company, respecting the term of validity of the Grant Agreement. The Grant Agreement can be terminated early by Finep in certain events provided for in the Grant Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, no funding was received under the Grant Agreement. |
