WW Champion Developments Lawsuit

The Company was previously involved in a legal dispute with its former landlord, WW Champion Developments, Inc. ("WW Champion”). On September 23, 2024, WW Champion filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking money damages of $1,229 in the 281^st District Court of Harris County in an action styled WW Champion Developments, Inc. vs. Koil Energy Solutions, Inc., Cause Number 2024-65006. WW Champion alleged that Koil Energy breached a lease agreement between the parties by abandoning the premises, failing to maintain proper fire prevention measures, and failing to pay its remaining rental payments.

The matter was settled in June 2025 for $590. The Company had previously recorded a liability of $840 and therefore recognized a gain of $250 upon resolution of the lawsuit. This gain is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under Other (income), net. Payment terms for the settlement included the forfeiture of a $90 deposit, a $200 payment on July 1, 2025, and six monthly payments of $50 beginning August 1, 2025.
