On October 30, 2023, the Company and one of its employees were named as defendants in an action alleging individual claims of discrimination and wage and hour violations, along with representative wage and hour claims brought pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (“PAGA”) [Cal. Lab. Code, ss. 2698, et seq.] in California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles. In the complaint, captioned Ibarra v. Stadco (LASC Case No. 23STCV26591), a former employee of Stadco, sought to recover alleged damages (including backpay from his date of termination and emotional distress), unpaid underpaid wages, penalties, attorney’s fees and costs of suit on his own behalf based on allegations of age and disability discrimination and wage and hour violations. The former employee’s individual claims would have been subject to private arbitration. In addition, the former employee seeks to recover civil penalties under PAGA on behalf of a group of similarly situated aggrieved employees based upon all paychecks issues since July 21, 2022, together with his attorney’s fees and costs of suit, for certain violations of the California Labor Code. For purposes of this action, “aggrieved employees” means all non-exempt employees of Stadco in California since July 21, 2022. The PAGA claim may not be privately arbitrated and any settlement must be approved by the court. Stadco has retained outside legal counsel to defend this action. The parties participated in a mediation on June 26, 2024, and were able to reach a resolution within the Company’s expectations. Final settlement payment on the individual claims was due and paid in August, 2024. No hearing date has been set for approval of the PAGA settlement, which has not been finalized in a long-form agreement at this time.
