In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.

Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under "dram shop" laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.

We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively "legal proceedings") on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts that represents our best estimate is recorded. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our accrual for settlements of legal proceedings was not considered material. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period in the event of an unfavorable outcome, at present, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 23, 2025, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery under the caption, New England Teamsters Pension Fund and Daniel Clark v. William P. Foley II, Anthony M. Jabbour, Thomas M. Hagerty, Douglas K. Ammerman, and Cannae Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2025-1220. The plaintiffs allege that the individual defendants, each of whom served as an officer and/or director of D&B at the relevant time, breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the August 26, 2025 sale of D&B to a private equity firm. Specifically, the complaint asserts that the transaction undervalued D&B's stock, resulting in inadequate cash consideration for its stockholders. The plaintiffs further allege that certain of the individual defendants' knowledge should be imputed to the Company, and on that basis, include a claim against the Company for aiding and abetting the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment, monetary damages, and other equitable relief. They also seek to certify a class comprising all former D&B stockholders who exchanged their shares for cash in the transaction, excluding the defendants and any individuals who were officers or directors of D&B at the time the transaction closed. On January 12, 2026, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The motion is fully briefed and set for hearing on November 10, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in the litigation.

We have certain unconditional purchase obligations, primarily in our Restaurant Group segment. These purchase obligations are with various vendors and are primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regard to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of March 31, 2026 to determine the amount of the obligations. Purchase obligations as of March 31, 2026 are as follows (in millions):

On May 12, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 30% ownership interest in JANA Partners in exchange for an upfront payment of $67.5 million and potential further payments aggregating to $26.0 million if JANA Partners achieves certain assets under management thresholds (the "JANA Contingent Consideration"). We are potentially liable for the JANA Contingent Consideration. The JANA Contingent Consideration is payable if JANA Partners achieves certain thresholds for assets under management ("AUM") by certain dates. The total $26 million potentially payable for the JANA Contingent Consideration is bifurcated into two tranches as follows: (1) a payment of $16 million if JANA Partners achieves an AUM threshold from September 2026 through December 2028 (the "Initial Payment") and (2) a payment of $10 million if JANA Partners achieves an AUM threshold as of December 31, 2028 (the "Additional Payment"). We consider the Initial Payment probable and have included $16 million in the basis of our investment in JANA Partners and a corresponding liability in Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, current in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026. We do not consider the Additional Payment to be probable as of March 31, 2026.
