Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the regular course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the normal course of business. Additionally, we are involved in various legal proceedings and claims relating to the Transaction. These legal proceedings relate to the level of disclosure of matters prior to the Transaction, which the Company believes were timely addressed well before the Transaction. We do not believe that any of the claims are material to the Company. Management does not believe that resolution of any of these matters will materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

On September 19, 2022, thirteen purported members of NuScale LLC filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon against NuScale LLC, Fluor Enterprises, Japan NuScale Innovation, Inc., and Sargent & Lundy Holdings, LLC. The plaintiffs purport to represent a class of individuals who held common units or options to purchase common units in NuScale LLC and seek declaratory relief and damages based on breach of contract and other common law claims. The claims in the complaint are based on amendments to the operating agreement of NuScale LLC in connection with the Merger between NuScale LLC and Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. NuScale LLC filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 21, 2022. Plaintiffs filed a response on January 17, 2023, and NuScale LLC filed a reply on February 14, 2023. A hearing on various motions to dismiss took place on May 17, 2023, and on August 3, 2023, the Magistrate Judge assigned to the case issued a report and recommendation that recommended that NuScale LLC’s motion to dismiss be denied. On August 17, 2023, NuScale LLC filed an objection to the report and recommendation. On November 13, 2023, the District Court Judge entered an order accepting the report and recommendation. On December 8, 2023, Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to amend their complaint, seeking to add back in the defendants that were dismissed (Fluor Enterprises, Japan NuScale Innovation, Inc., and Sargent & Lundy Holdings, LLC). NuScale LLC and the other defendants opposed the proposed amendment. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the Company has not recorded any liability as a result of these actions.

Two other shareholder class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon against the Company, John Hopkins, Chris Colbert, Robert Hamady and Clayton Scott: (1)Sigman v. NuScale Power Corp., et al. (Case No. 23-1689, filed November 15, 2023), and (2)Ryckewaert v. NuScale Power Corp., et al. (Case No. 23-1956, filed December 26, 2023). These lawsuits assert virtually identical allegations and claims and were consolidated before the same judge on February 2, 2024. The lawsuits assert claims under the federal securities laws and allege that the Company and members of management made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations and prospects, and specifically about certain of the Company’s agreements with customers. The Court has appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel, and they filed an amended complaint on April 18, 2024 that makes similar allegations as the original complaints. Defendants’ response is due on or before June 17, 2024. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Company does not believe it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the Company has not recorded any liability as a result of these actions. In the regular course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims incidental to the normal course of business. Other than as disclosed herein, the Company does not believe that any legal claims are material to the Company. Management does not believe that resolution of any of these matters will materially affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
