Brilliant Earth Group, Inc.

We are, from time to time, party to various claims and legal proceedings arising out of our ordinary course of business, but we do not believe that any of these claims or proceedings will have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

On December 5, 2022, plaintiff Veronica Cusimano, a former employee of the Company, filed a representative action against the Company pursuant to the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 in California Superior Court, Los Angeles County. The complaint alleges, on behalf of the plaintiff and similarly situated employees and former employees in California, various claims under the California Labor Code related to wages, overtime, meal and rest breaks, reimbursement of business expenses, wage statements and records, and other similar allegations. The parties reached an agreement to resolve the matter and, as of March 26, 2026, executed a stipulation of settlement and release of claims. On July 28, 2026, the court preliminarily approved the stipulation of settlement and scheduled a hearing on final approval for December 2, 2026. There can be no assurance that the settlement will receive final approval from the court. If the settlement receives final approval, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. If the settlement is not approved, the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against the alleged individual and representative claims.
