Commitments and contingencies

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”).

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reversed $4.0 million of a previously recorded accrual for other expenses related to the Business Combination because management no longer believes that the risk of loss is probable in accordance with ASC 450.

This further supports what was previously disclosed during the three months ended March 31, 2026, when the Company reversed $11.1 million of a previously recorded accrual associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”). The lawsuit was filed against the Company by 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 pendency 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 in accordance with ASC 450. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain.

These reversals reflect management’s updated assessment that the recognition criteria for a loss contingency under ASC 450 are no longer met and as such, no accruals pertaining to the aforementioned have been recorded as of June 30, 2026. 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.

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 June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability.
