La Rosa Holdings Corp.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time the Company is involved in litigation, claims, and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to employment law and misclassification, intellectual property, commercial or contractual claims, brokerage or real estate disputes, or other consumer protection statutes, ordinary-course brokerage disputes like the failure to disclose property defects, commission disputes, and vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of the Company’s control, including agents and third-party contractor agents. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur.

As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2023, Mr. Mark Gracy, who served as our Chief Operating Officer from November 18, 2021 to November 15, 2022, filed a civil lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida, seeking a jury trial and claiming that the Company breached his employment agreement by reducing his salary and failing to pay him his full severance payments and is looking for payment of his alleged severance of $249,000. On April 11, 2023, Company filed a motion to dismiss. Original mediation was scheduled for August 25, 2025 with a second mediation set for December 1, 2025. There have been no other changes as the attorneys work on discovery and negotiations with the plaintiff’s counsel. The Company denies the merits of the claims and intends on vigorously defending the litigation.

As previously disclosed, on January 3, 2024, Ms. Sarah Palmer filed a putative national class action complaint against La Rosa Realty, LLC in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division. Ms. Palmer alleges that she received two (2) brief pre-recorded calls one week apart to her cell phone from La Rosa Realty, LLC presenting her an employment opportunity as a real estate agent. Ms. Palmer seeks an undisclosed amount of monetary damages from La Rosa Realty, LLC for the alleged would-be injurious, isolated and opportunistic employment gestures to her through a purported nationwide class action. Ms. Palmer claims that the defendant violated her privacy, annoyed and harassed her, constituted a nuisance, and occupied her telephone line. On March 12, 2024, La Rosa Realty, LLC filed a motion to dismiss the case with prejudice. The action settled at mediation and was dismissed on May 20, 2025 without prejudice pending completion of the settlement terms.

As previously disclosed, on March 5, 2025, Joshua Epstein filed an action in Osceola County, Florida Circuit Court alleging claims for Breach of Contract, Promissory Estoppel, Conversion, Unjust Enrichment, Breach of Good Faith and Fair Dealings, Fraud in the Inducement, and to recover alleged unpaid compensation from the defendant, La Rosa Holdings Corp. Original partial mediation occurred on September 5, 2025, then was reset for December 2, 2025. The Company denies the merits of the claims and intends on vigorously defending the litigation.

As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2025, an employee, who served as our Senior Human Resources and Payroll Specialist from July 10, 2024 to August 19, 2024, filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of Osceola County, Florida. The employee is seeking a jury trial claiming $50,000 in damages and that the Company terminated her employment in violation of SS 448.102(3). On July 9, 2025, the Company responded to the complaint with its Answer and Affirmative Defenses, effectively denying all of the plaintiff’s claims. The case remains pending.

The Company believes that the above claims are without merit, and it will vigorously defend against such claims. Moreover, these claims, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business, or results of operations, should the Company’s defense not be successful in whole or in part. Except as stated herein, there is no other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting our Company or our officers or directors in their capacities as such.
