Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of our business.

On November 14, 2023, Atlas Merchant Capital SPAC Fund I LP (the “Plaintiff”), a stockholder of the Company, filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against Daniel Hirsch, Whitney Haring-Smith, the Sponsor and the Company, as successor to ANZU Special Acquisition Corp. I, (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The Complaint alleges a claim for breach of Anzu’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Anzu Charter”) against the Company, a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Mr. Hirsch, Dr. Haring-Smith and the Sponsor and claims for unjust enrichment, fraudulent misrepresentation and tortious interference with economic relations against the Defendants. The Complaint alleges that, among other things, after the Plaintiff submitted a redemption request for its shares of Common Stock in connection with the Company’s special meeting of stockholders held on September 27, 2023, Plaintiff thereafter withdrew its redemption request, then Defendants declined to honor Plaintiff’s request to reinstate its redemption election because the request to reinstate its redemption election occurred after the redemption deadline of September 25, 2023.

The Complaint seeks specific performance to compel the Defendants to honor Atlas’ redemption request, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Company believes the claims asserted in the Complaint to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation. At this time the Company does not believe that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and it is not possible to predict the outcome of the proceeding or its impact on the Company.
