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 has now filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable recession. Guggenheim has denied all liability as to those amended counterclaims. On June 30, 2025, Guggenheim filed a Notice of Issue and Certificate of Readiness for trial, but discovery has not been concluded and Falcon's moved to strike it. 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 June 30, 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 amended counterclaims.

Partial Impairment of Investment in Karnival
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
The winding up of the joint venture represents a significant change in circumstances that could impact the fair value of the Company’s remaining investment in Karnival. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment evaluation of its equity method investment in Karnival to determine whether the remaining carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value.
Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
The Company evaluated its remaining equity investment in Karnival for impairment as of September 30, 2025 and determined that it was other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in Karnival using the liquidation value of cash and cash equivalents less estimated costs to liquidate valuation inputs (Level 2). The estimated fair value is based upon assumptions that Management believes are reasonable, and the impact of variations in these estimates or the underlying assumptions could be material. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Karnival was determined to be $4.2 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $3.0 million, which is recorded in share of (loss) gain from equity method investments in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
