NOTE 17—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On September 4, 2025, Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha Capital”) filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against our company, in an action captioned Alpha Capital Anstalt v. 1847 Holdings LLC, Index No. 655245/2025. The complaint asserts a claim for breach of contract against our company based on its alleged breach of a securities purchase agreement it entered into with Alpha Capital on December 14, 2024, or the SPA. Alpha Capital alleges that we breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and Section 4.10 in the SPA by failing to take steps to have our common shares listed on another trading market after it was delisted from NYSE American. Alpha Capital alleges that, as a result of our alleged failure in that regard, it has not been able to sell or exercise the securities it acquired under the SPA and in a subsequent transaction. Alpha Capital seeks damages of at least $2 million plus its attorney’s fees, costs, and pre- and post-judgment interest and, alternatively, an order requiring us to get our common shares listed on a trading market. On October 8, 2025, we filed an answer to the complaint denying the material allegations in the complaint and asserting several affirmative defenses. The answer includes a counterclaim against Alpha Capital for our costs and attorney’s fees for defending the action pursuant to the provision in SPA providing that the prevailing party in litigation is to be awarded its attorney’s fees and costs from the other party. On January 22, 2026, the court held a Preliminary Conference and set September 18, 2026 as the deadline for Alpha Capital to file a note of issue/certificate of readiness, and the court will thereafter set a trial date. Discovery commenced on February 27, 2026. We believe we have meritorious defenses to Alpha Capital’s claims, including because our common shares commenced trading on the OTCID market on October 15, 2025. Our company intends to vigorously defend itself against Alpha Capital’s claims. Due to this litigation being in its early stage, we cannot reasonably estimate at this time the potential loss or range of loss, if any, in the event of an adverse outcome in this matter. It is possible an adverse outcome could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. No accrual has been recorded with respect to this legal matter.
