ZEVRA THERAPEUTICS, INC.

From time to time, we may be involved in routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, which arise in the normal course of our business.

In connection with the AZSTARYS License Agreement with Commave, a dispute has arisen with Commave concerning the interpretation of certain provisions under the AZSTARYS License Agreement. On September 4, 2024, Commave filed a complaint against us in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (Case No. 2024-0920-LWW) alleging breach of contract and seeking injunctive relief, specific performance, declaratory relief, and damages regarding the parties' respective rights and obligations under the Agreement. On February 12, 2025, our motion to dismiss was denied and the case is now in the discovery phase. On July 17, 2025, Zevra and Commave filed cross motions for partial summary judgment as to certain of Commave’s claims, and the court held oral argument on the parties' cross motions on September 22, 2025. On December 31, 2025, the court granted Commave’s motion for partial summary judgment and denied our motion for partial summary judgment. Trial is currently scheduled to commence on June 8, 2026. We strongly disagree with Commave's allegations and believe this lawsuit is without merit.

The litigation is in its early stages. While we intend to vigorously defend against Commave's claims, the outcome of this matter is inherently uncertain. We cannot predict with certainty the timing or ultimate outcome of this litigation or its potential impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. At this time, we have not recorded any accrual for contingent liability associated with this matter. We will continue to monitor developments in this matter and will assess the potential impact on our financial statements in future periods. We expect to incur significant legal expenses in connection with this litigation, which may materially affect our results of operations in future periods.

The AZSTARYS License Agreement remains in effect during this litigation, and both parties continue to perform their respective obligations thereunder. However, there can be no assurance that this dispute will not have an adverse impact on our relationship with Commave or on our business.

Other than as disclosed herein, we believe there is no litigation pending that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
