On February 16, 2024, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 719 Pension Trust Fund filed a purported class action complaint against the Company and certain of our executive officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:24-cv-00196-NR-KT), purportedly on behalf of all purchasers of our common shares between May 25, 2022 and August 21, 2023. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making material misrepresentations and omissions about the Company’s business and financial condition, including regarding the Company’s inventory, margins, and business prospects. The complaint seeks relief including unspecified damages and an award of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees. On March 14, 2024, the Court entered an order providing that defendants’ time to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint was deferred until the Court ruled on any motion by a purported class member to serve as lead plaintiff, and that the parties then submit a proposed schedule for filing an amended and/or consolidated complaint or designating the operative complaint and the timing of defendants’ response to the same. On April 22, 2024, three purported members of the putative class moved the Court for appointment as lead plaintiff pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. One of these motions was withdrawn on April 23, 2024. As of May 29, 2024, the Court had not issued an order appointing lead plaintiff. The Company does not believe the complaint states any meritorious claim and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.

We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other proceedings that are incidental to the normal course of our business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not expect that any of such other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
