CleanCore Solutions, Inc.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

As previously disclosed, on August 20, 2024, Matthew Atkinson, our former Chief Executive Officer, filed a complaint against our company in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, which was amended on November 25, 2024 to add Clayton Adams, our Chief Executive Officer, and David Enholm, our Chief Financial Officer, as defendants, in which Mr. Atkinson alleged certain claims arising from his employment with, and separation of employment from, our company, and we alleged certain counterclaims against Mr. Atkinson for breach of contract. On June 6, 2025, we and Messrs. Adams and Enholm entered into a settlement and release agreement with Mr. Atkinson to settle this matter. Pursuant to the settlement and release agreement, which became effective on June 21, 2025, we issued 200,000 shares of our class B common stock to James T. Coyle Legacy Trust in order to resolve an obligation that Mr. Atkinson had to transfer such shares that had not been met. The settlement and release agreement also contains a release of claims by each party and standard confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions. On June 26, 2025, the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice.
