Litigation

The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits and other types of legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies ("ASC 450"). As previously disclosed, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) in which Guggenheim alleges that the Company owes certain fees and expenses of $11.1 million for services allegedly performed by Guggenheim in connection with the Business Combination consummated on October 6, 2023 (the “Guggenheim Complaint”). The Company has denied all liability. The Company filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable rescission. On March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) heard oral arguments on each party’s motions for summary judgment. The Court denied the Company’s motion and granted Guggenheim’s motion in part; however, the Court allowed certain of the Company’s counterclaims to proceed. The Court denied Guggenheim’s motion for summary judgment on its claims and ordered that the matter would proceed to trial. The parties filed cross notices of appeal. In light of the order from the Court for the motions for summary judgment, management reevaluated its prior conclusion regarding the likelihood of loss associated with the Guggenheim matter. Based on the current procedural posture, including the Court’s findings and the viability of the Company’s counterclaims, management no longer believes that a loss related to Guggenheim’s claims is probable. Rather, the Company has concluded that the risk of loss is reasonably possible. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reversed the previously recorded accrual of $11.1 million associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The reversal reflects management’s updated assessment that the recognition criteria for a loss contingency under ASC 450 are no longer met and as such, no accrual has been recorded as of March 31, 2026. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed, the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain. Based on the current assessment that a loss is no longer probable, no estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made at this time, and an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.

On July 29, 2025, the Company received a Summons to answer a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (the "Motion”) from FAST Sponsor II LLC (“FAST”) in which FAST alleges that the Company owed FAST payment for principal, interest, and penalties of $9.1 million for two separate loans relating to the Company’s deSPAC transaction that closed in October, 2023. On September 29, 2025, the Company opposed the Motion, and FAST filed its reply in support of the Motion on October 9, 2025. The Company and FAST entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of November 26, 2025 pursuant to which the Company paid an upfront settlement payment of $2.5 million on December 1, 2025, and agreed to pay FAST a deferred settlement payment of $7.0 million on or before January 31, 2027 (the “Deferred Loan Settlement”). On February 20, 2026, the parties filed a Stipulation of Discontinuance and Order with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and on February 28, 2026, the action was discontinued without prejudice pursuant to the parties’ stipulation.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain agreements that provide for indemnification by the Company of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification includes losses from breach of such agreements, services provided by the Company, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnities may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments, in some circumstances, are not subject to a cap. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability.
