Item 3. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. Except as set forth below, we are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Arbitration Demand from Palantir Technologies Inc.
On April 20, 2023, Palantir Technologies Inc., or Palantir, commenced an arbitration with JAMS Arbitration, or JAMS, asserting claims for declaratory relief and breach of contract relating to the May 5, 2021 Master Subscription Agreement, or Palantir MSA, seeking damages in an amount equal to the full value of the contract. We have responded to the arbitration demand and asserted counterclaims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, fraudulent inducement, violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, amongst others, in relation to the Palantir MSA. On December 21, 2023, we entered into a settlement and release agreement as amended pursuant to the JAMS arbitration proceeding asserting claims for declaratory relief and breach of contract relating to the Palantir MSA. Both parties agreed to dismiss the arbitration proceeding and dispute and provide for mutual releases upon satisfaction of a settlement payment obligation. Through June 3, 2024, we made total settlement payments of $3.5 million and issued Palantir an aggregate of 60,584 shares of our Class A common stock as consideration for further amendments to the settlement and release agreement, and on June 4, 2024, the parties dismissed all claims and counterclaims. The Palantir MSA has fully terminated and neither party has any further rights or obligations thereunder. The shares of our Class A common stock issued to Palantir were issued with piggyback registration rights. Resale of such shares by Palantir shall be included on any future registration statement we file.
Celularity Inc. v. Evolution Biologyx, LLC, et al.
On April 17, 2023, we filed a complaint against Evolution Biologyx, LLC, Saleem S. Saab, individually, and Encyte, LLC (collectively, “Evolution”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to recover unpaid invoice amounts for the sale of its biomaterial products in the amount of approximately $2,350, plus interest. In September 2021, we executed a distribution agreement with Evolution, whereupon Evolution purchased biomaterial products from us for sale through Evolution’s distribution channels. We fulfilled Evolution’s orders and otherwise performed each of its obligations under the distribution agreement. Despite attempts to recover the outstanding invoices and Evolution’s promise to pay, Evolution has refused to pay any of the invoices and has materially breached its obligations under the distribution agreement. Our complaint asserts claims of breach of contract and fraudulent inducement, amongst others. On April 4, 2024, Evolution filed a counter claim alleging damages in an amount to be determined resulting from alleged breach of contract, breach of warranty, quasi contract and fraud. We believe Evolution’s counter claims are without any merit, and we intend to vigorously pursue the matter to recover the outstanding payments owed by Evolution, including interest and associated attorney’s fees, as well as defend against Evolution’s counterclaims.
In October 2025 the parties filed cross motions for summary judgment covering all outstanding claims and related issues. In April 2026 the Court denied Celularity’s motion for summary judgment on its claims for payment of invoices, subject to Evolution’s contract defenses to be determined at trial and denied Celularity’s motion to bar Evolution’s claims for lost profits. The Court granted Celularity’s motion to dismiss all of Evolution’s claims for breach of warranties, quasi-contracts, good faith and fair dealing and fraud. It also dismissed Evolution’s claim for attorneys’ fees and time-limited Evolution’s claim for damages. We expect the case to proceed to trial on the remaining issues upon the court’s schedule. Our balance of accounts receivable due from Evolution has been fully reserved within the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Civil Investigative Demand
We received a Civil Investigative Demand, or Demand, under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, dated August 14, 2022, from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The Demand requests documents and information relating to claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal insurers for services or procedures involving injectable human tissue therapy products derived from amniotic fluid or birth tissue and includes Interfyl. We are cooperating with the request and are engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the Assistant U.S. Attorneys handling the Demand. The matter is still in preliminary stages and there is uncertainty as to whether the Demand will result in any liability.
TCWGlobal v. Celularity Inc.
On March 27, 2024, WMBE Payrolling, Inc., dba TCWGlobal, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging a breach of contract and account stated claims relating to a Master Services Agreement dated May 4, 2020, or the TCWGlobal MSA, for the provision of certain leased workers to perform services on our behalf. The complaint alleges that we breached the TCWGlobal MSA by failing to make payments on certain invoices for the services of the leased workers. On May 7, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement and mutual release with TCWGlobal pursuant to which we agreed to pay $516,127.31 in tiered monthly installments, with the last payment due and payable on May 1, 2025, in exchange for a dismissal of the complaint and full release of all claims. We defaulted on the payments in November 2024. On April 21, 2025, we were served with a motion by TCWGlobal to enforce the settlement and enter judgment against us in the amount of $350,127,.31. The Court granted the motion and entered judgment on June 3, 2025. On February 26, 2026, we agreed with TCWGlobal to settle the balance due in one payment of $100,000 due by March 3, 2026, and two payments of $125,063.65 due by the end of March 2026 and April 2026, respectively. As of the issuance date of the financial statements, we had made $100,000 of payments to TCWGlobal.
Hackensack Meridian Health v. Celularity Inc.
On March 27, 2025, Hackensack Meridian Health (“HUMC”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey seeking $947,576 allegedly owed by Celularity for costs associated with previous clinical trials. We determined that there were significant duplications in the invoices, so after a joint review of the charges, the parties agreed that the actual amount due from us to HUMC is $668,126, which we have accrued within accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2025. We defaulted on the Complaint, and HUMC moved for entry of default judgment that was granted on December 5, 2025.
Shareholder Derivative Action
On February 28, 2025, a shareholder derivative action,Dorrance v. Diamandis, Index No. 651165/2025, was filed against our current and former members of the board of directors as defendants, and us, as a nominal defendant, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The Plaintiff alleges that the board members’ compensation of its nonemployee directors was excessive in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and seeks to recoup excessive compensation and set controls on the board’s ability to award themselves excessive compensation in the future. The derivative action is also seeking payment of an undisclosed amount of attorney’s fees. After extended negotiations, we settled for a payment of $2,500 in cash and $300,000 worth of restricted Celularity stock to plaintiff’s counsel.
