On September 11, 2023, the Delaware Court consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Mr. Urvan with Mr. Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants (the "Delaware Litigation").

Childress, Jared Smith, Fred W. Wagenhals and Russell Williams Wallace, Jr. (collectively, the “Legacy Directors”). The Settlement Agreement became effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 30, 2025, pursuant to its terms. In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, on June 3, 2025, the Company, Speedlight, Mr. Urvan and the Legacy Directors filed a Stipulation of Voluntary Dismissal With Prejudice to dismiss, with prejudice, all claims asserted in the Delaware Litigation.

On February 7, 2024, GunBroker.com removed the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (Case No. 24-CV-00373-DWF-DTS).
