Falcon's Beyond Global, Inc.

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. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report, on March 27, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“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 in response to the Guggenheim Complaint. In addition, the Company filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation. Guggenheim moved to dismiss the counterclaims, and the Company opposed that motion. On April 11, 2025, the Company's allegations for breach of contract were sufficient to maintain a claim against Guggenheim and the remainder of the Company's counterclaims were dismissed with leave to replead. On May 5, 2025, the Company filed amended counterclaims against Guggenheim. The case is in its early stages, discovery has commenced, and the Court has set a readiness for trial date for June 28, 2025. Solely as part of the Company’s accounting approach to transaction expenses related to the Business Combination, prior to the Company’s receipt of the Guggenheim Complaint, the Company accrued $11.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with respect to the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed, and to pursue damages based on the Company's counterclaims.
