Item 3. Legal Proceedings

On November 29, 2023, a putative securities class action (the “Putative Class Action”) was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon captioned Wilhite v. Expensify, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-01784-JR, naming us, our executive officers and several of our current and former directors as defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The lawsuit is purportedly brought on behalf of all those who purchased or acquired our stock pursuant or traceable to our initial public offering (“IPO”). The complaint alleges claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 based on allegedly false or misleading statements in the offering documents filed in connection with our IPO. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and other relief. On January 29, 2024, three shareholders moved to be appointed lead plaintiff in the Putative Class Action. The court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead counsel on March 11, 2024. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the lead plaintiff’s amended complaint was filed May 10, 2024 (the “Amended Complaint”), naming six of our current board members as additional defendants (together with the Defendants, the “Amended Defendants”). Amended Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed on July 9, 2024. The lead plaintiff’s opposition was filed on September 6, 2024, and the Amended Defendants’ reply was filed on October 18, 2024. On December 30, 2024, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendation that the Amended Defendants’ motion to dismiss be granted in part and denied in part. The lead plaintiff and Amended Defendants each filed objections to the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendation on January 21, 2025, and responses to the objections on February 4, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the Court adopted, with limited modification, the magistrate’s findings and recommendations to grant in part and deny in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint.

On December 17, 2025, after conducting mediation within the current discovery phase of the lawsuit, the parties reached an agreement-in-principle to settle all claims in the Putative Class Action for an aggregate sum of $9.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, this liability amount is included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The settlement accrual will be partially offset by a receivable of $6.7 million for amounts recoverable under our applicable insurance policies, which was included within Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an expense of $2.8 million for the proposed settlement, net of the Company's insurance receivable, within General and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 30, 2025, the Court stayed further deadlines in the Putative Class Action as the parties had reached settlement in principle. On February 12, 2026, lead plaintiff filed a stipulation of settlement and an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of settlement. On February 23, 2026, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and set a final approval hearing for June 30, 2026. The defendants intend to deny the allegations of wrongdoing and vigorously defend against the claims in the Putative Class Action.

On May 9, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon captioned O’Halloran v. Barrett, et al., Case No. 3:24-cv-00775 (the “O’Halloran Action”), purportedly on our behalf, naming us as nominal defendant, and our executive officers and several of our current and former directors as defendants (collectively, the “Derivative Defendants”). On August 14, 2024, the Court stayed the O’Halloran Action pending resolution of any and all motion(s) to dismiss the Putative Class Action.

On December 18, 2024, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon captioned Da Silva v. Barrett, et al., Case No. 3:24-cv-02095 (the “Da Silva Action” and with the O’Halloran Action, the “Derivative Action”), purportedly on our behalf against the Derivative Defendants and asserting substantively the same claims as those asserted in the O’Halloran Action. On January 2, 2025, the parties to the Derivative Action filed a stipulation to consolidate the O’Halloran and Da Silva Actions and apply the stay entered in the O’Halloran Action to the Derivative Action. On February 10, 2025, the Court consolidated the O’Halloran and Da Silva Actions and applied the existing stay to the consolidated action under the caption In re Expensify, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Case No. 3:24-cv-00775-SI. The Derivative Defendants deny the allegations of wrongdoing and will continue to vigorously defend against the claims in the Derivative Action.

On July 23, 2025, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon captioned Choi v. Barrett, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-1300 (the “Choi Action”), purportedly on our behalf against the Derivative Defendants and asserting substantively the same claims as those asserted in the O’Halloran Action. On October 20, 2025, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to stay the Choi Action pending final resolution of the Putative Class Action. The Derivative Defendants deny the allegations of wrongdoing and will continue to vigorously defend against the claims in the Derivative Action.

In addition to the matter described above, from time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. We are not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights. Defending such proceedings is costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees. We may receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the outcome, any litigation can have an adverse impact on our company as a result of defense and settlement costs, the diversion of management resources, and other factors.
