Bark, Inc.

On March 20, 2024, three alleged shareholders filed a putative class action complaint in the lawsuit styled Kenville v. Northern Star Sponsor LLC, et al., Case No. 2024-276, which is pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery. On September 30, 2024, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint is currently pending against (a) certain officers and directors of Northern Star Acquisition Corp. at the time of its proposed acquisition of Legacy BARK, and (b) Northern Star Sponsor, LLC. The claims alleged are for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. On October 31, 2025, the court certified the class, which consists of Company stockholders who held stock as of the redemption deadline and who elected not to redeem all or some of their stock. Trial in the case is scheduled to start September 8, 2027. At this time, the Company is not able to quantify any potential liability in connection with this litigation because the case is in its early stages.

In addition, we are from time to time subject to, and are presently involved in, litigation and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the outcome of any legal proceedings brought against us, we believe that, except for the matter described above, there are no pending lawsuits or claims that, individually or in the aggregate, may have a material effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Our views and estimates related to these matters may change in the future, as new events and circumstances arise and as the matters continue to develop.
