Legal Proceedings Not Described in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies,” to Our Consolidated Financial Statements

In addition to the matters identified in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and incorporated into this item by reference, we report matters, if any, that constitute material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary course litigation incidental to our business, to which we are or any of our subsidiaries is a party. SEC regulations require disclosure of environmental proceedings that involve a government authority and potential monetary sanctions that the Company reasonably believes will exceed a specified threshold. The Company uses a threshold of $1.0 million to determine whether the disclosure of any such proceedings is required because we believe matters under this threshold are not material to the Company.
