Note 15 – Contingencies

On December 31, 2025, the Company’s subsidiaries Benchmark Electronics Phoenix, Inc. and Benchmark electronics Tijuana S. de R.L. C.V. (Claimants) commenced an arbitration action against CommScope Holding Company, Inc., CommScope, Inc., CommScope, LLC, ARRIS Technology, Inc. and their affiliated entities (Respondents). The Claimants contend that Respondents are liable for excess and obsolete inventory for electronic components procured at Respondents’ request and for their benefit under the parties’ manufacturing services agreement. Efforts to settle the dispute amicably were unsuccessful and demand was made for

payment for the excess and obsolete inventory the Claimants procured on Respondents’ behalf pursuant to the parties' manufacturing services agreement, plus carrying charges, prejudgment and post judgment interest, interim, preliminary or provisional remedies, declaratory relief, and costs. Respondents filed their answer and a counterclaim for breach of contract on January 14, 2026 and Claimants filed a motion to dismiss Respondents’ counterclaim on February 2, 2026. On March 30, 2026, Respondents agreed to dismiss their counterclaim voluntarily. The dispute is in its initial legal stages and the parties have just commenced discovery. The nature and extent of any potential recoveries, counterclaims, defenses or set offs are unknown at this time. While the Company is unable to provide any assurances as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Claimants intend to vigorously prosecute their claims against the Respondents.

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
