10. Contingencies

As part of the global settlement with Steward discussed in previous filings, we and Steward agreed, subject to specified exceptions, to the mutual release of claims against each other. In connection with the global settlement and reciprocal release of claims, we established a reserve for certain obligations due to third parties associated with properties formerly leased to Steward, which decreased to approximately $15 million at June 30, 2026.

We are, or were, party to various lawsuits as described below:

Securities and Derivative Litigation

On September 29, 2023, we and certain of our executives were named as defendants in a putative federal securities class action lawsuit filed by a purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 1:23-cv- 08597). The complaint seeks class certification on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between May 23, 2023 and August 17, 2023 and alleges false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. This class action complaint was amended on October 30, 2024 and alleged that we made material misstatements or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 14, 2025. That motion has been fully briefed and is currently pending before the Court.

Members of our Board of Directors were also named as defendants in two related shareholder derivative lawsuits filed by purported stockholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 18, 2023 (Case No. 1:23-cv- 10934) and March 1, 2024 (Case No. 1:24-cv-01589). The Company was named as a nominal defendant in both complaints. These shareholder derivative complaints both make allegations similar to those made in the New York securities lawsuit described above relating to purported false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. The two cases have been consolidated and stayed pending further developments in the New York securities lawsuit described above. On February 21, 2024, members of our Board of Directors were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed by a purported stockholder in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (Case No. 1:24-cv-00527). The Company was named as a nominal defendant. This shareholder derivative complaint makes allegations similar to those made in the New York securities and derivative lawsuits described above relating to purported false and/or misleading statements and/or omissions in connection with certain transactions involving Prospect. This action was stayed pending further developments in the New York securities action described above. On June 16, 2026, plaintiff in this action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal and the case has now been dismissed without prejudice.

We believe these claims are without merit and intend to defend the remaining open cases vigorously. We have not recorded a liability related to the lawsuits above because, at this time, we are unable to determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable or to estimate reasonably possible losses.

From time-to-time, we are a party to other legal proceedings, claims, or regulatory inquiries and investigations arising out of, or incidental to, our business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to those proceedings is not presently expected to materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
