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 and its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 6, 2024, and further disclosed in Form 10-Q filed on May 16, 2024 and in Form 10-Q filed on August 13, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) on March 27, 2024 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 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 has moved to dismiss the counterclaims. The case is in its early stages, discovery has commenced, and the Court has set a certificate of readiness for trial/note of issue date for June 28, 2025. 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 December 31, 2023 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.
