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.

Cusimano v. Brilliant Earth

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.

Eguiarte v. Brilliant Earth, LLC

On September 9, 2026, plaintiff Elisa Eguiarte filed a putative class action against Brilliant Earth, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The plaintiff is a California resident who alleges she purchased products on the Company’s website, and that third-party advertising and analytics technologies on the Company’s website, including those provided by Meta, Google, TikTok, and OpenAI, intercepted and disclosed to those parties certain information without consent and in violation of California and federal law. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of putative classes of U.S. and California residents who accessed the website, for violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the California Invasion of Privacy Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, and the California Constitution. The complaint purports to seek, among other things, statutory, compensatory, and punitive damages; equitable, declaratory, and injunctive relief; as well as interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs. As of the date of this filing, the Company’s response to the complaint is not yet due. The Company intends to vigorously defend the claims. Litigation is inherently uncertain, however, and at this time the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss.
