Commitments and Contingencies Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot be determined with certainty, in the Company’s opinion, any such liability will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or liquidity.

 

Intellectual Property Dispute: On May 28, 2025, PDP filed an action for declaratory judgment of non-infringement of four patents purportedly owned by OKYN Holdings, Inc., d/b/a Nyko Technologies (“Nyko”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Nyko had written to PDP on October 31, 2024 asserting that PDP’s Ultra Slim Charge System for PlayStation 4 (“Ultra Slim”) infringed those patents. Nyko has responded to PDP’s complaint and filed counterclaims for patent infringement by the Ultra Slim. On June 12, 2025, Nyko filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of California asserting that PDP and Turtle Beach Corporation (“TBC”) infringed the same four patents at issue in the declaratory judgment action filed by PDP. On July 8, 2025, PDP and TBC moved to dismiss Nyko’s complaint. On March 25, 2026, the Court partially granted that motion, dismissed TBC, and consolidated the two actions. On April 16, 2026, Nyko filed a First Amended Complaint that again alleged infringement by TBC and PDP. On May 21, 2026, PDP filed an answer to Nyko’s First Amended Complaint and TBC moved to dismiss Nyko’s First Amended Complaint. That motion is pending. On August 4, 2026, the Court issued its claim construction order that construed certain claim terms in Nyko’s patents. On August 6, 2026, the Court denied PDP’s motion for judgment on the pleadings.

 

Intellectual Property Dispute: On October 3, 2025, Robert Lyden, an individual, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against PDP, Voyetra Turtle Beach, Inc. (“VTB”), and Turtle Beach Corporation (“TBC”) in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, asserting infringement of one patent by the Victrix™ Pro BFG™ Wireless Controller and Victrix™ Gambit Wireless Controller. On December 16, 2025, PDP, VTB and TBC moved to dismiss the complaint for improper venue. On March 19, 2026, the Court granted that motion and transferred the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. On May 13, 2026, PDP, VTB and TBC moved to dismiss the Complaint. That motion is pending.

 

The Company will continue to vigorously defend itself in the foregoing unresolved matters. However, litigation and investigations are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. The Company has not recorded any accrual at September 30, 2026 for contingent losses associated with these matters unless otherwise disclosed above based on its belief that losses, while possible, are not probable. Further, any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The Company is engaged in other legal actions, not described above, arising in the ordinary course of its business and, while there can be no assurance, believes that the ultimate outcome of these other legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Indemnifications

 

The Company indemnifies certain suppliers and customers for losses arising from matters such as intellectual property disputes and product safety defects, subject to certain restrictions. The scope of these indemnities varies, but in some instances includes indemnification for damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. As of September 30, 2026, no material amounts have been accrued for indemnification provisions. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any material amounts will be required to be paid under its indemnification arrangements.

 

The Company also indemnifies its current and former directors and certain current and former officers. Certain costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recoverable under various insurance policies. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements because these exposures are not capped, the obligations are conditional in nature, and the facts and circumstances involved in any situation that might arise are variable.
