NOTE 8: LITIGATION

Litigation in General

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no open or pending litigation and no legal reserve was deemed necessary. The Company has incurred several claims in the normal course of business. The Company believes such claims can be resolved without any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company maintains certain liability insurance; however, certain costs of defending lawsuits are not covered by or only partially covered by its insurance policies, including claims that are below insurance deductibles. Additionally, insurance carriers could refuse to cover certain claims, in whole or in part. The Company accrues costs to defend itself from litigation as they are incurred.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company had a cyber incident that resulted in the potential exposure of personal information of certain independent associates and customers. The Company has commenced an investigation, which is ongoing.  We believe that we maintain a sufficient level of insurance coverage related to such events, and the related incremental costs incurred to date are immaterial. It is reasonably possible that the Company may incur additional costs related to the matter, but we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate amount or range of potential loss. At this time, no litigation has been filed, nor has any been threatened.
