The Company has accrued liabilities related to such obligations in the condensed consolidated financial statements when estimable and probable, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Except as set forth below, the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to, and their properties are not the subject of, any known material pending legal proceedings.
