experienced a cybersecurity incident that disrupted certain IT systems and resulted in unauthorized access to certain files (the “Cyber Incident”). We activated our incident-response plan, engaged third-party cybersecurity experts, notified law enforcement, and offered identity-protection services to affected customers and subscribers. The Cyber Incident adversely affected fiscal 2025 operating results; however, the incremental impact on revenues and certain operating expenses is not reasonably separable from other business factors. The incident remains under legal and forensic review, and we continue to implement security enhancements.

On December 19, 2022, named Plaintiffs filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa alleging our news websites violate the Video Privacy Protection Act by disclosing to third parties certain data about users’ video-watching habits. In particular, the Complaint alleged the websites use Facebook Pixel, a technology that allegedly links a user’s Facebook profile to videos the user watches on our website. The claimants are asserting class action claims and allege statutory damages of $2,500 per class member, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. In July 2023, the Court denied our Motion to Dismiss. This claim was submitted for coverage under our media insurance policy. The parties successfully mediated the case on November 5, 2024, and the court granted final approval of the class action settlement on August 14, 2025. The entire $9.5 million settlement amount was paid by our insurance carriers in October 2025. Payments to class members went out in October 2025.

On June 12, 2025, Sarah Fetes filed a Complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa alleging claims arising out of a February 2025 cybersecurity incident, during which a third-party threat actor potentially accessed personal information of past and present Company employees existing on Company systems. Fetes and five additional named Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Complaint on August 11, 2025. Plaintiffs allege that we failed to properly secure and safeguard personally identifiable information collected as part of our regular business practices. Plaintiffs sought damages for invasion of privacy and misuse of the compromised data, on behalf of themselves and a class consisting of approximately 39,700 individuals who received data breach notifications. This claim was submitted for coverage under our media insurance policy. The parties have reached a tentative settlement, all of which will be paid by our insurance carriers, in an amount that will be publicly disclosed through the court process. The settlement is subject to required court approval and open to objection by class members. We anticipate final approval of the settlement by August 2026. The probable settlement liability and insurance receivable are recorded within “Compensation and other accrued liabilities” and “Prepaids and other” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2026.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;text-decoration:underline">Lineup Systems Corporation v.

The suit claims $7.0 million in damages for failure to pay owed amounts, attorneys' fees and interest. We filed a counter claim alleging breach of contract and fraudulent inducement. Trial has been set for October 18, 2027. Lineup filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings for various counts and oral arguments were heard by the Court on the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on January 16, 2026.
