Bakkt, Inc.

From time to time we are subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on our current knowledge, we believe that the amount or range of reasonably possible losses will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

On December 15, 2025, the Company filed a complaint in Delaware state court against Project Labrador Holdco, LLC (“Roman”) in connection with the closing of Roman’s acquisition of the Company’s Loyalty business. On February 6, 2026, the Company amended its complaint following additional amounts becoming due. The Company is seeking approximately $10 million and attorneys’ fees in connection with breaches of the Loyalty business purchase agreement. On February 27, 2026, Roman filed counterclaims alleging its entitlement to indemnification. We disagree with Roman’s allegations, and intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter.

The results of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution in any legal proceedings could materially affect our future business, results of operations, or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. For additional information on our ongoing legal proceedings, refer to Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, in our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.
