NOTE 1. OVERVIEW, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ContextLogic Holdings Inc. is an OTC traded business ownership platform designed from first principles to combine the structural advantages of permanent public capital with the operating discipline, alignment, and long-term orientation typically associated with private ownership. ContextLogic's mission is to build a portfolio of high-quality, niche, and competitively advantaged businesses that generate sustainable, growing free cash flow that can be reinvested over long time horizons.

The Backstop Agreements
Simultaneously with entering into and as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Holdings entered into a backstop agreement with BCP (such agreement, the "BCP Backstop Agreement") and ContextLogic entered into backstop agreements with Abrams Capital (the "Abrams Backstop Agreements" and, together with the BCP Backstop Agreement, the "Backstop Agreements"). Under the respective Backstop Agreements, in the event the Rights Offering (as defined below) was not fully subscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering period, (i) BCP was obligated to purchase the Preferred Units from Holdings at a price of $8.00 per Preferred Unit (the "Per Unit Subscription Price") for an aggregate amount not to exceed $92.0 million (the "BCP Cap") and (ii) each of ACP I and ACP II was obligated to purchase shares of ContextLogic common stock from ContextLogic at a price of $8.00 per share (the "Per Share Subscription Price"), for an aggregate amount not to exceed (a) $1.6 million for ACP I (the "ACP I Cap") and (b) $21.4 million for ACP II (the "ACP II Cap" and, together with the BCP Cap and the ACP I Cap, each a "Cap"). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the purchase price under the respective backstops exceed the BCP Cap, ACP I Cap, or ACP II Cap, as applicable.
Subject to the expiration of the Rights Offering period and the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering, which were customary and subject to the prior written approval of each of BCP, ACP I and ACP II:
BCP purchased, and Holdings issued and sold to BCP, approximately 11,156 thousand Preferred Units equal to the quotient of (A) (i) the product of 80% multiplied by (ii) the difference between (x) the Rights Offering Amount, minus (y) the dollar amount of proceeds from the Rights Offering actually received by ContextLogic prior to (and that remain available to ContextLogic at) or immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions (such product, the "BCP Purchase Price") divided by (B) the Per Unit Subscription Price, for an amount in cash equal to $89.3 million;
ACP I purchased, and ContextLogic issued and sold to ACP I, approximately 190 thousand shares of ContextLogic common stock equal to the quotient of (A) (i) the product of 1.366% multiplied by (ii) the difference between (x) the Rights Offering Amount, minus (y) the dollar amount of proceeds from the Rights Offering actually received by ContextLogic prior to (and that remain available to ContextLogic at) or immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions (such product, the "ACP I Purchase Price") divided by (B) the Per Share Subscription Price, for an amount in cash equal to $1.5 million; and
ACP II purchased, and ContextLogic issued and sold to ACP II, approximately 2,599 thousand shares of ContextLogic common stock equal to the quotient of (A) (i) the product of 18.634% multiplied by (ii) the difference between (x) the Rights Offering Amount, minus (y) the dollar amount of proceeds from the Rights Offering actually received by ContextLogic prior to (and that remain available to ContextLogic at) or immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions (such product, the "ACP II Purchase Price") divided by (B) the Per Share Subscription Price, for an amount in cash equal to $20.8 million.
The Financing Arrangements
As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, on December 8, 2025, Holdings entered into an agreement (the "Debt Commitment Letter") with certain lenders, pursuant to which the lenders committed to fund up to $215.0 million to Holdings in connection with a new senior secured first lien term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and $25.0 million to Holdings in connection with a new senior secured first lien revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Facility" and, together with the Term Facility, the "Facilities" or "Financings") in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter.
On the Closing Date, Holdings, as the initial borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), with US Salt Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower"), as the borrower, US Salt Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("US Salt Holdings"), as holdings, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Agent"), and each lender from time to time party thereto (the "Lenders"). Immediately after the consummation of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower succeeded to the rights and obligations of Holdings under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Holdings was released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan
Documents. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by US Salt Holdings and certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors") and collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
The Credit Agreement provides for (i) an initial term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $215.0 million (the "Initial Term Loans") and (ii) a revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the "Revolving Loans" and, together with the Initial Term Loans, the "Loans"). The Credit Agreement provides that the Borrower has the right at any time and from time to time to incur one or more incremental revolving commitments and/or incremental term loans, subject to certain customary conditions and other requirements. The Lenders under the Credit Agreement are not obligated to provide any such incremental loans or commitments. The Initial Term Loans were borrowed on the Closing Date. The Loans mature on February 26, 2033.
At the Borrower’s option, and subject to certain conditions, the Loans bear interest at a base rate or a term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin determined by the Borrower’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). For borrowings that bear interest at a term SOFR rate, the applicable margin is a per annum amount equal to an amount between 4.00% and 4.50%. The Borrower is also required to pay a commitment fee with respect to unused available commitments under the revolving credit facility in a per annum amount, determined by the Borrower’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, equal to an amount between 0.375% and 0.50%. The Borrower is also obligated to pay the Agent and Lenders other fees and premiums customary for credit facilities of this size and type.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, conditions to borrowing and events of default.
The Company used the proceeds of the Facilities, together with the Backstop Agreements and the Rights Offering to help (i) fund a portion of the US Salt Acquisition, (ii) repay US Salt’s existing indebtedness under its current credit facility, (iii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the US Salt Acquisition, (iv) cash collateralize, backstop or replace letters of credit of US Salt outstanding on the Closing Date, and (v) fund working capital and general corporate purpose needs.

No more than two (2) Business Days after receiving a Demand Registration Request, ContextLogic shall deliver a written notice (a "Demand Notice") of such Demand Registration Request to all the Lead Investors and each signatory to the Registration Rights Agreement listed as other investors who then hold Registrable Securities under the Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the "Holders"), offering them the opportunity to include their Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration. Subject to Section 3.1.7 of the Registration Rights Agreement, ContextLogic shall include in the Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which ContextLogic has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) Business Days after the date that the Demand Notice was delivered.

The Shelf Takedown Notice shall offer each such Potential Takedown Participant the opportunity to include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown such number of Registrable Securities as each such Potential Takedown Participant may request in writing. ContextLogic shall include in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown all such Registrable Securities with respect to which ContextLogic has received written requests for inclusion therein within three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be reasonably requested in connection with an underwritten "block trade") after the date that the Shelf Takedown Notice has been delivered.

Rights Offering
On January 22, 2026, the Company commenced a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to distribute to the holders of ContextLogic common stock subscription rights to purchase shares of ContextLogic common stock. Each subscription right entitled the holder to purchase 0.53486 shares of ContextLogic common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share. The Rights Offering was conducted in connection with the US Salt Acquisition.
On February 25, 2026,429,463 aggregate shares of ContextLogic common stock validly subscribed for pursuant to the Rights Offering were issued, with a total purchase price of all shares sold of approximately $3.4 million.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The US Salt Acquisition is accounted for as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting, and ContextLogic has been determined to be the accounting acquirer.
As a result of the significance of the relative operations of US Salt acquired in the US Salt Acquisition, US Salt is reflected as the Predecessor to the combined entity for financial statement purposes. Accordingly, all periods presented through the closing date of the US Salt Acquisition, February 26, 2026, reflect the historical balances and results of US Salt Parent Holdings, LLC and all its majority or wholly owned subsidiaries ("US Salt Parent") ("Predecessor"). Periods presented after the closing of the US Salt Acquisition reflect the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary along with Holdings and Holdings' wholly owned subsidiaries, including US Salt Parent ("Successor"). In accordance with the application of acquisition accounting, the assets and liabilities of US Salt acquired by the Company have been remeasured to fair value in the Successor periods.
Certain costs were contingent solely upon the consummation of the US Salt Acquisition and are therefore not reflected in either the Predecessor or Successor income statements. These costs, totaling $4.8 million, consist of unit-based incentive compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of US Salt time-vested and performance-vested incentive units that vested upon the change in control pursuant to pre-existing award agreements. These amounts were fully contingent upon the closing of the US Salt Acquisition and US Salt would not have recognized the expense absent consummation of the transaction. The vested awards were included in the outstanding shares acquired in the US Salt Acquisition; as a result, the fair value of the consideration exchanged for the ownership interests related to the incentive units subject to accelerated vesting is included in the consideration transferred. Refer to Note 14, Equity and Noncontrolling Interest, for additional information related to the incentive units.
For the period from January 1 to February 26, 2026, the public company and parent-level items of the Company, distinct and separate from the operating results of US Salt, ("CLHI Corporate") had general and administrative expenses of $1.0 million, transaction expenses of $1.4 million, net interest and other income of $1.2 million, net loss of $1.2 million, accretion on CLHI Corporate's redeemable noncontrolling interest's preferred shares of $0.5 million, and a final net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.7 million. Refer to Note 14, Equity and Noncontrolling Interest, for more information about CLHI Corporate's redeemable noncontrolling interest prior to the US Salt Acquisition.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor) and for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1,
2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim financial data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2025 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, however, it does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on March 5, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future interim periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates form the basis for judgments the Company makes about the carrying values of its assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates and assumptions will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
These estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, impair ment analysis of goodwill, depletion of salt reserves, impairment of long-lived assets and finite-lived intangible assets, fair value of financial instruments, contingent liabilities, and uncertain tax positions.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to a customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms, as the customer can direct the use and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the product at this point in time. The Company’s revenue is reported as net sales and is measured as the determinable transaction price, net of any variable consideration such as discounts, sales incentives, rights to return product, and any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Refer to Note 3 Revenue for further information.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales reflects the costs to produce our products, which primarily consists of labor, employee benefits, materials, depreciation and depletion, shipping and handling, and overhead. Cost of sales is capitalized in inventory and expensed when control is transferred to the customer.
Accounts receivable, net and allowance for expected credit losses
Accounts receivable, net of allowance are uncollateralized customer obligations billed under contract terms. Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The Company estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the evaluation of several factors including related ages of past due receivables, customer type, customer credit worthiness, knowledge of a customer’s financial conditions, historical collection experience, current economic factors, and other factors relevant to assessing the expected credit losses. The Company records uncollectible amounts against the allowance for credit losses once management determines the amount to be uncollectible.
Concentration of credit and customer risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash balances at various times during the year may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company monitors the credit ratings of financial institutions where its cash deposits are held, and has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.
The Company can, at times, be subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to outstanding accounts receivable. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States through various channels including national retail chains, pharmaceutical companies, food service operators, and independent distributors. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. The Company hasone major customer which accounted for over 10% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor). The Company also hasone major customer, which accounts for over 10% of net sales forthe period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Inventories and other inventories
Salt is reported as inventory at the point in time it is extracted from the brine well. Salt inventories, packaging, supplies, and maintenance materials are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on standard costing method. Substantially all costs associated with the production of finished goods, such as labor, supplies, equipment cost, inbound freight and overhead (including depletion of salt reserves), are captured as inventory costs.
Maintenance materials are expensed as consumed or capitalized into property, plant and equipment if it meets the criteria of a capital expenditure. Additionally, maintenance materials that are not expected to be used in the next twelve months from the balance sheet date are recorded as other inventories in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Management monitors inventory levels and adjusts valuation for slow-moving inventory, shrinkage, obsolescence, and markdowns. The Company accounts for slow-moving or obsolete inventory that is established based on management’s estimates of the net realizable value of the related products at the end of each reporting period.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depletion. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When depreciable properties are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on the useful lives of assets which range from three totwenty years.
Property, plant and equipment also includes salt reserves, which consist of brine fields and underground salt bed owned by the Company. Salt reserves are depleted on a units-of-production basis based on the estimated annual consumption as extraction of reserves takes place.
The following table summarizes the estimated useful lives of the Company’s different classes of property, plant and equipment:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and improvements | 10 - 20 |
| Machinery and equipment | 3 - 14 |
Construction in Process (CIP) represents the accumulated costs of construction and development for assets that are not yet completed and ready for their intended use. CIP is recorded as property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated financial statements and is not depreciated until the asset is placed into service. Borrowing costs are recognized, as an expense, in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalized. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits to the entity and that the costs can be measured reliably. The Company capitalized insignificant amounts of interest cost for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and capitalized interest costs of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor). Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognized in profit or loss.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. In certain of the Company’s lease arrangements, judgment is required in determining if a contract contains a lease. For these arrangements, there is judgment in evaluating if the arrangement involves an identified asset that is physically distinct or whether the Company has the right to substantially all of the capacity of an identified asset that is not physically distinct. In arrangements that involve an identified asset, there is also judgment in evaluating if the Company has the right to direct the use of that asset.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, its classification, and its term at the lease commencement date. The Company leases office space, warehouses, and equipment under non‑cancelable operating and finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers ownership, includes a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised, covers a major portion of the asset’s economic life, has payments that approximate substantially all of the asset’s fair value, or involves an asset of specialized nature. Leases with a term greater than one year will be recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as right-of-use (ROU) assets, current lease liabilities, and if applicable, long-term lease liabilities. The Company includes renewal options to extend the lease term where it is reasonably certain that it will exercise these options. Lease liabilities and the corresponding ROU assets are recorded based on the present values of lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate implicit in the Company’s leases are not readily determinable. As such, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate, which approximates the interest rate at which the Company could borrow on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments and in similar economic environments. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from 1 to 5 years, with some of those leases including options that grant the Company the ability to renew or extend the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company does not include periods covered by the renewal options unless they are reasonably certain to exercise such renewal options.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components, principally common area maintenance for its facilities leases, as a single lease component for its facilities leases. Variable lease costs represent additional expenses incurred by the Company that are not included in the lease payment. Variable lease costs include maintenance charges, taxes, insurance, and other similar costs, and are recorded within cost of sales, selling expense, and general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Debt issuance costs
Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related borrowing agreement and the amortization is included in interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized portion of deferred financing fees associated with long-term borrowings are shown netted against the Company's outstanding long-term debt.
Environmental cost
Environmental costs, other than those of a capital nature, are accrued at the time when exposure becomes known, and costs can be reasonably estimated. Costs are accrued based upon management’s estimates of all direct costs. Amounts accrued for environmental matters were not material as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Asset retirement obligations
Legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets are reflected at their estimated fair value, with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold, at the time they are incurred. Asset retirement obligations (ARO) primarily consist of spending estimates related to capping brine wells and support facilities in accordance with federal and state reclamation laws as defined by each mining permit. The Company estimates and records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is amortized using the units-of-production method over estimated recoverable reserves upon commencement of salt extraction. The amortized cost is included in the cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Finite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets
Finite-lived intangible assets acquired by the Company are initially recorded at fair value and amortized using the straight-line method to distribute the initial value of the assets over the estimated useful lives, which management has determined to be betweenten andfifteen years.
The Company reviews long-lived assets including right-of-use assets and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
There wereno impairment indicators of long-lived assets or finite-lived intangibles for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Goodwill consists of the excess cost of an acquired business over the fair market value of the underlying net assets. We review goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We do not amortize such assets.
The Company performs an annual impairment test as of October 1 of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. As the Company's business is highly integrated and its components have similar economic characteristics, management has concluded the Company operates as one reporting unit at the entity level. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment exist during the year. When the Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment, generally, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. A qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, financial performance and other entity or reporting unit specific events. If the Company determines qualitatively that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if the Company decides to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment loss by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. The estimated fair value is based on forward-looking estimates of performance and cash flows of the reporting unit, which are based on historical operating results, adjusted for current and expected future market conditions, as well as various internal projections and external sources. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency (USD) using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Segment
The Company operates inone segment based upon the financial information used by its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in evaluating the financial performance of its business and allocating resources. The single segment represents the Company’s core business of selling salt products to its customers. See Note 19 Segment Information for further information on the Company’s reportable segment.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize the deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of interest and other income, net as necessary.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest includes the share of Holdings' issued Class A Convertible Preferred Units ("Preferred Units"). These Preferred Units have a preference right upon a liquidation or distribution event to have their capital contribution returned first. Only after all Class A Capital Contribution (total cash or property contributed to Holdings from the Class A Members) has been returned can Class B or Class P Members earn any returns. The Company thus allocates its net income or loss using a balance sheet approach referred to as the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest represent the amounts Holdings' members would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date under the liquidation provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the "Second A&R LLC Agreement"), assuming the net assets of the funding structures were liquidated at their recorded amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. The members' interests in Holdings' results of operations are determined as the difference in noncontrolling interest at the start and end of each reporting period, after taking into account any capital transactions between Holdings and its members.
Comprehensive Income
The Company had no other comprehensive income or loss for the periods presented. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income.
Unit-based compensation (Predecessor only)
US Salt Parent Holdings accounted for unit-based compensation by recording expenses using the fair value of Class B unit ("USPH Class B unit") awards at the time of grant. In estimating the fair value of the USPH Class B units granted, US Salt Parent Holdings utilized the option pricing model ("OPM"), in the form of a single stochastic valuation process applying the Black-Scholes Pricing Model ("BSPM"), along with the Monte-Carlo simulation model ("MCSM"). The BSPM and MCSM provided the ability to analyze financial instruments within a complex capital structure and whose values derived from variable significant inputs and assumptions along with future financial outcomes upon future events such as change of control or capital raise (such as an IPO). The application of the valuation method involved inputs and assumptions that were judgmental and highly sensitive.
US Salt Parent Holdings recognized expenses associated with such USPH Class B unit awards over the service period when the grant was service based. The unit-based compensation expense for performance-based USPH Class B units was recognized when management determined that it was probable that the performance criteria is met and if and only if participant had been continuously employed by or continuously providing services to US Salt Parent Holdings from the vesting start date through the date of which the performance criteria is met. US Salt Parent Holdings' accounting policy was to recognize forfeitures as they occurred. US Salt Parent Holdings may have made cash payments to repurchase vested USPH Class B units and forfeited the unvested USPH Class B units due to termination or departure of an employee or member of the Board of Directors. Upon the repurchase, US Salt Parent Holdings recorded the repurchase price (which under the terms of the grant agreements will be at fair value) as a reduction of equity, and the previously recognized compensation expenses for unvested USPH Class B units were reversed.
Subscription note receivable (Predecessor only)
US Salt Parent Holdings was able to issue Class A units ("USPH Class A units") to employees and receive subscription notes receivable. The subscription notes receivable was repaid through cash upon receipt of annual bonus. The notes were able to be voluntarily prepaid at any time without penalty. In addition, the notes required mandatory prepayment, without premium or penalty, upon the purchaser’s receipt of any cash proceeds related to the securities, including cash distributions (other than tax distributions) or transfers of such securities, in an amount equal to the proceeds received. Subscription notes receivable were classified as a deduction from Members' equity within the Condensed Statement of Changes in Members’ Equity.
Noncontrolling parent interest (Predecessor only)
Emerald Lake Capital LP together with Emerald Fund, Blocker Seller, and Emerald Lake Pearl Holding LLC owned approximately 99.5% of the Class A units of US Salt Parent Holdings through EL US Salt Aggregator, LP ("Aggregator"), which held the 1% noncontrolling parent interest in US Salt Intermediate Holdings, LLC. Net income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling parent interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represented the portion of earnings or losses attributable to the interest in US Salt Parent Holdings' subsidiaries held by Aggregator.
Net income per unit (Predecessor only)
As of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor), US Salt Parent Holdings had outstanding subscription notes receivable from members when certain USPH Class A units were issued. US Salt Parent Holdings concluded that it 1) could cancel the USPH Class A units if the member defaulted on the subscription notes receivable and (2) intended to exercise this cancellation right. For net income per unit calculation purposes, US Salt Parent Holdings treated the unpaid USPH Class A units that were issued and legally outstanding in the same manner as an option. The unpaid USPH Class A units were issued and legally outstanding and had the same distribution and participation rights as the paid USPH Class A units. Net income per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) was calculated using the two-class method. The two-class method required an allocation of earnings to all securities (USPH Class A units and USPH Class B units) that participated in net income to the extent that each such security was able to share in US Salt Parent Holdings' earnings. Basic net income per unit was calculated by dividing net income attributable to Parent Holdings Class A members by the weighted average number of USPH Class A units.
Diluted net income per unit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) was calculated by applying the two-class method for participating securities and then incorporating the dilutive effects of other potential USPH Class A units, determined using the treasury stock method, to arrive at the most dilutive net income per unit. The two-class method used net income available to Class A members and assumed conversion of all potential units other than the participating securities. There wereno dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2025(Predecessor).
Besides the above, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in its 2025 Form 10-K that have had a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No.2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which amends the guidance in ASC 326 to simplify the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The amendments allow all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. Entities are required to disclose their practical expedient and accounting policy elections. The Company hasapplied this amendment prospectively starting in 2026. There wasno significant impact upon adopting this standard.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and concluded as follows:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses including the amounts of purchase of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities, and the total amount of selling expenses and an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective to all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03 to be annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments in this ASU are effective to all public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements together with ASU No. 2024-03.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which was intended to provide clarity without changing, expanding, or reducing current interim reporting or disclosure requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective to all entities that provide interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 for public business entities and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028 for entities other than public entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has considered all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they are either not applicable to the business or no material impact is expected on the condensed consolidated financial statements or notes as a result of future adoption.
NOTE 2. Business Combinations
As set forth in Note 1 – Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entered into on December 8, 2025, the Company, together with Holdings, completed the US Salt Acquisition on February 26, 2026, resulting in the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity units of US Salt (the "Business Combination"). US Salt is a leading provider in the evaporated salt market, specializing in the extraction, refinement, and packaging of specialty salts. Its products serve diverse sectors, including retail grocery, pharmaceuticals, industrial applications, and food service.
As a result of the US Salt Acquisition, the Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes US Salt as the "Predecessor" through the Closing Date. The Company, which consolidated US Salt subsequent to the Business Combination, is the "Successor" for periods after the Closing Date. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting in the Successor period, the financial statements for the Successor period present US Salt on a full step-up basis as a result of the Business Combination, and are therefore not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor period that are not presented on the same full step-up basis.
During the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor) and the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), the Company incurred $20.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of transaction costs related to the acquisition of US Salt. These expenses are included in transaction expenses on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for each respective period.
The fair value of the total consideration transferred was determined as follows:
| Fair Value Consideration Transferred | |
|---|---|
| (in millions) | |
| Payments made to the Seller Parties | |
| Cash consideration | $386.8 |
| Repayment of US Salt debt | 209.7 |
| Total cash consideration | 596.5 |
| Rollover equity(1) | 325.2 |
| Total equity consideration | 325.2 |
| Total consideration | $921.7 |
(1)
Refers to Transactions (f) and (g) in Note 1 Overview, Basis of Presentation, and Significant Accounting Policies.
The equity consideration was calculated based on the number of shares issued at $8.00 per share and determined as follows:
| Fair Value Equity Consideration | |
|---|---|
| ($ in millions, shares in thousands) | |
| ContextLogic common shares issued to consummate the US Salt Acquisition | 15,480.4 |
| Holdings preferred units issued to consummate the US Salt Acquisition | 25,175.6 |
| Total shares issued | 40,656.0 |
| Price per share issued | $8.00 |
| Fair value of the equity consideration | $325.2 |
The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the Closing Date, with the excess consideration transferred recorded to goodwill. The Company is continuing to obtain information to complete its valuation of certain assets and liabilities. Preliminary estimates have been recorded and additional adjustments may be recorded to the fair value of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and deferred income taxes among other items during the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the Closing Date.
The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition date fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed as part of the US Salt Acquisition:
| Fair Value | |
|---|---|
| (in millions) | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $11.3 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 0.9 |
| Accounts receivable | 13.4 |
| Inventory | 12.7 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 396.7 |
| Intangible assets | 388.0 |
| Right-of-use asset | 1.5 |
| Other noncurrent assets | 5.2 |
| Total assets | 829.7 |
| Accrued liabilities | 4.2 |
| Accounts payable | 6.8 |
| Current portion of lease liability | 0.7 |
| Current maturities of long-term debt | 0.3 |
| Deferred tax liability | 43.2 |
| Long-term debt, net of current maturities | — |
| Lease liabilities, non-current | 0.8 |
| Net assets acquired | 773.7 |
| Goodwill | 148.0 |
| Total net assets acquired | $921.7 |
The details on the methodology and significant inputs used for fair value of valuation are outlined below.
Preliminary allocation of consideration transferred resulted in $148.0 million in goodwill. The goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition.
Inventory
The fair value of inventory was determined by the market selling price of the inventory, less the remaining manufacturing and selling costs and a normal profit margin on those manufacturing and selling efforts. The fair value of inventory has been stepped up by $1.1 million. This amount has been fully amortized to cost of sales to align with US Salt’s historical inventory turnover.
Property, Plant and Equipment
The fair value of property, plant and equipment of $396.7 million, of which of $310.0 million was salt reserves, was determined using cost and market approaches. The cost approach reflects the amount that would be required to replace the asset to service capacity. This approach was used where there was historical data available. Where there was no historical data available the market approach was used which reflects recent sales of identical or comparable assets.
Intangible Assets
The fair value of acquired intangible assets was $388.0 million. The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method. Key assumptions under this method are the revenue growth rate, adjusted EBITDA margin, customer attrition rate, discount rate, tax rate and contributory asset charges. The fair value of trade names were determined using the relief from royalty method. Key assumptions under this method are future cash flow estimates, royalty rate and discount rate. The fair value of permits were determined using the income approach method. Key assumptions under this method are future economic benefits and discount rate.
| Estimated Useful Life | Estimated Asset Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| (in years) | (in millions) | |
| Trade names and trademark | 15 | $28.0 |
| Permits | 10 | 100.0 |
| Customer relationships | 15 | 260.0 |
| Identifiable intangible assets, net | $388.0 |
Debt
ContextLogic paid off the outstanding debt and related fees and balances of US Salt on the Closing Date amounting to $209.7 million.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma information presents the net sales and earnings as if the US Salt Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2025. As a result, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not require predecessor and successor periods because the transaction, the related combination of the Company and US Salt, and the new basis applied in accordance with acquisition accounting is reflected for the entirety of the two periods presented.
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2026 | |
| (in millions) | (in millions) | |
| Pro forma net sales | $32.3 | $32.4 |
| Pro forma net (income) loss | (13.1) | 7.8 |
| Pro forma net (income) attributable to controlling interest | (13.1) | 7.8 |
| Pro forma net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest | — | — |
The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 include adjustments to reflect the increased tangible asset depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and interest expense related to the new debt assumed. There were no recurring direct transaction costs incurred in connection with the US Salt Acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma financial information does not assume any impacts from net sales, cost or other operating synergies that could be generated as a result of the US Salt Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the US Salt Acquisition been consummated on January 1, 2025. The unaudited pro forma results may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations.
NOTE 3. REVENUE
Revenue recognition
Nature of Revenue Source - The Company manufactures and sells a range of branded and private label evaporated salt products to nationwide retailers, pharmaceutical companies, foodservice operators, and independent distributors. When the Company enters into a sale arrangement with a customer, it believes it is probable that it will collect substantially all the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods that will be transferred to the customer. The Company’s customer contracts identify the product, quantity, price, payment terms, and final delivery terms. Payment terms sometimes include early-pay discounts. Although some payment terms may be extended, no terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
Performance Obligations - A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The contract's transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations and recognized as revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied. Substantially all our contracts are of a short-term nature and contain a single performance obligation. Because the Company’s agreements have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight, including shipping and handling costs after control over a product is transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost as incurred and are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of cost of sales were approximately $0.9 million, $1.3 million, and $2.3 million for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor), respectively.
Contract Estimates - Most contracts include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates, and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. The Company uses the most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company believes there will not be significant changes to estimates of variable consideration when any related uncertainties are resolved with customers. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each reporting period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market. Any uncertainties in the ultimate resolution of variable consideration due to factors outside of the Company’s influence are typically resolved within a short timeframe therefore not requiring any additional constraint on the variable consideration.
Approximately 99.5%,99.8%, and 99.7% of the Company’s net sales are generated from North America, and 92.9%,94.1%, and 92.3% of which is from domestic sales forthe period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor), respectively. The Company offers customers limited right of return for its non-conforming products in the event of defects. Customer remedies may include either a cash refund or product exchange. Accordingly, the estimated right of return and related refund liability is recorded as a reduction in net sales. Return estimates are reviewed and updated in each reporting period based on historical sales and return experiences. Contract asset and liability balances as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor) are immaterial.
Revenue disaggregation
The Company hasvertically integrated operations under which the Company solution mines, manufactures, processes, packages, markets, distributes and sells salt either as packaged products prepared on-site at the Watkins Glen,
New York facility or as non-packaged products which are shipped in bulk or packaged at a third party facility. The following table disaggregates revenue between these two product categories:
| Successor · Predecessor | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 | Period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | |
| (in millions) | (in millions) | (in millions) | |
| Packaged | $10.3 | $17.5 | $28.1 |
| Non-packaged | 1.8 | 2.8 | 4.2 |
| Total net sales | $12.1 | $20.3 | $32.3 |
NOTE 4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, and which require us to develop our own estimates and assumptions reflecting those that a market participant would use.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There wereno instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs during the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor). Related to the US Salt Acquisition, the Company applied fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, for further details.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities;
Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts; and
Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (i.e., replacement cost).
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Cash equivalents’ carrying value approximates fair value at the balance sheet dates, due to the short period of time to maturity. Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities carrying values approximate fair value due to the short time to the expected receipt or payment date.
As of March 31, 2026 (Successor), the Company’s "cash and cash equivalents" line item was comprised of cash deposited with banks and money market funds. The Company classifies cash equivalents within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using quoted prices in active markets.
A breakdown of cash and cash equivalents is as follows:
| Successor · Predecessor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
| Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |
| (in millions) · (in millions) | ||||
| Cash | $2.9 | $2.9 | $0.2 | $0.2 |
| Money market funds | 9.1 | 9.1 | 10.6 | 10.6 |
| Total cash and cash equivalents | $12.0 | $12.0 | $10.8 | $10.8 |
Disclosure of Fair Values
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor) due to the relatively short duration of these instruments. Additionally, the carrying value of debt associated with the term loan facility approximates fair value because the interest rates are variable and reset on relatively short durations to then-market rates.
NOTE 5: ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Ares Capital Credit Agreement (Predecessor)
In July 2021, US Salt Parent Holdings entered into a credit agreement with Ares Capital Corporation, as the administrative agent, and other parties thereto. The credit agreement consists of a $232.0 million term loan, and up to $25.0 million of revolving line of credit.
Interest rate for the term loan and revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor) was 9.4%, which was SOFR plus 5.40%. Interest rate for the revolving line of credit is the greater of 4.50% plus prime rate, NYFRB (New York Federal Reserve Bank) rate plus 5.00% or SOFR (subject to.75% floor) plus 5.50%-5.65%.
The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $0.6 million commencing on March 31, 2022 through maturity date of July 19, 2028, at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The term loan is subject to mandatory excess cash flow payments commencing for the year ended December 31, 2022 as defined in the credit agreement, not to exceed $5 million for any fiscal year. As of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor), the Company was not required to make additional term loan repayments due to Excess Cash Flow for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Predecessor). The revolving line of credit expires on July 19, 2026 and is subject to commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. The Company hadno borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor). The unused amount of credit available under this facility is $25.0 million as of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
The term loan and the revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and subject to certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
In relation to the credit agreement, the Company paid debt issuance cost of $5.1 million, which is amortized over the life of the credit agreement using effective interest rate of 6.83%. Amortization of debt issuance cost for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) was $0.2 million and is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In February 2026, the Company paid off the $209.7 million remainder of this credit agreement and related accrued interest upon the consummation of the US Salt Acquisition.
Wilmington Trust Credit Agreement (Successor)
As discussed earlier in "The US Salt Acquisition -- The Financing Arrangements," in February 2026, Holdings entered into the Credit Agreement with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, and the Lenders thereto (the "Wilmington Trust Credit Facility"), which consists of a $215.0 million term loan facility and an up to $25.0 million revolving credit facility.
Interest rate for the Initial Term Loans and Revolving Loans as of March 31, 2026 was 7.92%, which was SOFR plus 4.25%. Interest rate for the revolving line of credit is at a base rate or a term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin between 4.00% and 4.50%, depending on the Borrower's Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The term loan requires quarterly principal payments of $0.5 million with the first payment due on September 30, 2026 through the maturity date of February 26, 2033, at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The term loan is subject to mandatory Excess Cash Flow ("ECF") payments commencing for the year ended December 31, 2027. The ECF payments are calculated by multiplying the Applicable ECF Percentage (as defined in the Credit Agreement) against the fiscal year's ECF (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the extent that ECF exceeds the greater of $9.5 million and 15.0% of TTM EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Applicable ECF Percentage is determined based on the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of the fiscal year as follows: 0% if less than or equal to 2.50x; 25% if greater than 2.50x but less than or equal to 3.00x; and 50% if greater than 3.00x. These ECF payments are due within ten business days after delivery of both the annual audited financial statements andthe related Compliance Certificate (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2026 (Successor), no ECF prepayment was required for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor).
The revolving line of credit expires on February 26, 2033 and is subject to a commitment fee on the unused available commitment between 0.375% and 0.50% per annum, determined by the Borrower’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The Company hadno borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit at March 31, 2026 (Successor). The unused amount of credit available under this facility is $25.0 million as of March 31, 2026 (Successor).
The term loan and revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of the assets of US Salt and subject to certain financial covenants which are not due until 60 days after quarter-end for 2026 and 45 days after quarter-end beginning in 2027. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026 (Successor).
In relation to the Wilmington Trust Credit Agreement, aggregate debt discount and debt issuance costs totaled $3.6 million, which is amortized over the life of the credit agreement using an effective interest rate of 8.27%. Amortization of debt discount and issuance cost for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor) was insignificant and was reported as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, conditions to borrowing and events of default. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026 (Successor).

As of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor), the Company had surety bonds outstanding with an aggregate stated amount of $1.1 million. The bonds relate primarily to the salt well plugging projects and generally expire and are renewed annually.
The Company’s estimated abandonment costs related to plugging and abandonment of injection wells under these surety bonds are reported as part of asset retirement obligation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor), management has not identified any defaults, and no accrual related to these bonds has been recorded. Bond premiums paid are recorded as prepaid expenses and amortized over the period of benefit.
NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Contingencies and Proceedings
Beginning in May 2021, four putative class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its directors, certain of its officers and the underwriters named in its initial public offering ("IPO") registration statement alleging violations of securities laws based on statements made in its registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with its IPO and seeking monetary damages. One of these cases has since been dismissed by the plaintiff and the remaining three have been coordinated and consolidated. In May 2022, the Court appointed lead plaintiffs, who subsequently filed an amended consolidated class action complaint pursuant to Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On April 10, 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and asserted only claims made under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act. In December 2023, the Court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the first amended consolidated complaint. In February 2024, plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, which the defendants have moved to dismiss. In August 2024, the Court granted the motion to dismiss without leave to amend and with prejudice. In September 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion to alter judgment noticed for hearing in January 2025. In February 2025, the court denied the plaintiffs' motion to alter judgment. In March 2025, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit. In September 2025, plaintiffs filed their opening brief to the Ninth Circuit. The Company filed its answering brief with the Ninth Circuit in December 2025. In January 2026, plaintiffs filed their answering brief. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend them. However, the Company has currently estimated a potential loss of $3.5 million at this time.
In August 2021, a shareholder derivative action purportedly brought on behalf of the Company, Patel v. Szulczewski, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company’s directors and officers made or caused the Company to make false and/or misleading statements about the Company’s business operations and financial prospects in various public filings. Plaintiff asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and for contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act and is seeking monetary damages. This matter is currently stayed. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and it intends to vigorously defend it. Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in these cases, the Company cannot estimate a range of potential losses at this point in time.
As of March 31, 2026 (Successor), in the opinion of management, there were no other legal contingency matters that arose in the ordinary course of business, either individually or in aggregate, that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, the Company bases its estimate on the information available at the time of the assessment. As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability and may revise the estimate.
NOTE 14. EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
Members' Equity (Predecessor)
Members' units
US Salt Parent Holdings was authorized to issue USPH Class A units and USPH Class B units. There was no set number for authorized units and no par value was assigned to USPH Class A and USPH Class B units. US Salt Parent Holdings was able to issue additional units, including USPH Class B units as management incentive units as approved by its Board of Directors. USPH Class A units represented capital interests and were entitled to priority distributions and liquidation proceeds until invested capital had been returned. USPH Class B units were generally issued as management incentive (profit) interests and participated in US Salt Parent Holdings' residual economics only after applicable participation thresholds and vesting conditions were satisfied.
Voting rights
The authority to manage the business, make decisions, and act on behalf of US Salt Parent Holdings resided exclusively with its Board of Directors, except for certain limited matters specifically designated as board of governance exceptions. Holders of USPH Class A units or USPH Class B units did not possess voting, consent, or approval rights with respect to the management or governance of US Salt Parent Holdings, other than with respect to these limited exceptions.
The composition of US Salt Parent Holdings' Board of Directors included both Emerald Lake‑designated Managers ("ELCM Managers") and Additional Managers. For any meeting of its Board of Directors or its committees, at least one ELCM Manager had to be present to constitute a quorum. Actions of its Board of Directors was able to be approved by a majority of votes cast at a meeting where a quorum is present. The ELCM Managers collectively held a number of votes equal to the greater of (i) the number of ELCM Managers present at the meeting or (ii) one plus the number of non‑ELCM Managers present. Each ELCM Manager was entitled to cast a proportionate share of these collective ELCM votes. Each
Additional Manager held one vote. If no ELCM Manager remained present during a meeting, the quorum was lost and no further business was able to be conducted until a quorum was re‑established. The authorized number of Managers on US Salt Parent Holdings' Board of Directors was six members or such other number as determined from time to time by the Board.
Distribution and participation rights
Distributions were made at the discretion of the Board of Directors, subject to the applicable law and US Salt Parent Holdings' operating agreement. Distributions, other than tax distributions, were subject to contractual priority waterfall. Amounts were distributed first to holders of USPH Class A units until the unreturned capital associated with USPH Class A units had been reduced to zero. Thereafter, remaining distributions were made to holders of USPH Class A units and participating USPH Class B units on a pro rata basis based on the number of such units outstanding. Certain USPH Class B units were subject to participation thresholds (as discussed below) and vesting conditions and were not entitled to participate in distributions until such thresholds had been sati sfied and vesting has occurred. As of December 31, 2025 (Predecessor), the total unreturned capital of Class A unitholders before distributions was $193.6 million. There wereno tax distributions to USPH Class A unitholders for the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) and an insignificant amount of tax distributions to USPH Class A unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Liquidation rights
Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of US Salt Parent Holdings, its assets remaining after the settlement of liabilities were distributed in accordance with the same priority framework applicable to non‑liquidating distributions. Liquidation proceeds were distributed first to USPH Class A units until the return of unreturned capital, and thereafter to USPH Class A units and participating USPH Class B units on a pro rata basis. USPH Class B units that had not satisfied applicable participation thresholds or vesting requirements did not participate in liquidation proceeds. Neither class had liquidation preference beyond the contractual priority described above.
Repurchase rights
US Salt Parent Holdings held the right, at its discretion, to repurchase outstanding units held by unitholders in accordance with the operating or related grant agreements. US Salt Parent Holdings was able to settle the repurchase or redemption price either in cash or through the transfer of equity interests issued by one of its subsidiaries. If the subsidiary repurchased or redeemed those securities subsequently, the repurchase redemption price would have been equal to the amount of cash or notes, if applicable, equal to the aggregate repurchase or redemption price of the Units that were redeemed or repurchased.
USPH Class B units
Based on the terms of Class B unit grant agreements, USPH Class B units were issued to certain employees and members of the Board of Directors of US Salt Parent Holdings. In each of the grant agreements,40% of the total USPH Class B units granted had service conditions, which was service-based vesting ("time-vesting incentive units"), and 60% of the total USPH Class B units granted had both service and performance conditions ("performance-based incentive units").
Time-vesting incentive units
Time-vesting incentive units vested over the requisite service period offive years, subject to the recipient remaining an employee or member of the Board of Directors of US Salt Parent Holdings through each vesting date. For the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), $0.1 million expense was recognized for the time-vesting incentive units over the requisite service period.
Performance-based incentive units
The performance-based incentive units were able to vest upon the consummation of a sale of US Salt Parent Holdings, provided the participants had remained continuously employed or provided services from the vesting start date through the sale date. Vesting occurred in three tranches as follows:(i) one-third of the performance-based incentive units vested upon the consummation of a sale of the US Salt Parent Holdings if the Investor Return was equal to or greater than 2.0;(ii) an additional one-third of the performance-based incentive units vested upon the consummation of a sale of US Salt Parent Holdings if the Investor Return was equal to or greater than 2.5; and(iii) an additional one-third of the performance-based incentive units vested upon the consummation of a sale of US Salt Parent Holdings if the Investor Return was equal to or greater than 3.0.
Vested USPH Class B units were subject to a "Participation Threshold" before distribution of profit or distribution of sales proceeds from the sale of US Salt Parent Holdings. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of US Salt Parent Holdings, on the date of each grant of USPH Class B units, pursuant to a grant made under a Class B unit grant agreement or similar agreement, the Board of Directors of US Salt Parent Holdings would establish an initial "Participation Threshold" amount in respect of each Class B unit granted on such date. The initial Participation Threshold in respect of an USPH Class B unit would be equal to or greater than (i) the amount that would be distributed with respect to a USPH Class A unit ratably among Class A unitholders until the aggregate unreturned capital of Class A incentive units had been reduced to zero in a hypothetical transaction in which US Salt Parent Holdings sold all of its assets for Fair Market Value and distributed the proceeds therefrom in liquidation of US Salt Parent Holdings (as determined immediately prior to the issuance of such USPH Class B unit, but taking into account all Capital Contributions, if any, with respect to any Unit issued as part of the issuance of such USPH Class B unit) minus (ii) the total Capital Contributions (if any) made by the holder receiving such USPH Class B unit with respect to all USPH Class B unit received by such holder as part of the same issuance. US Salt Parent Holdings was able to periodically update the initial Participation Threshold from time to time as necessary to reflect any adjustments to the Participation Thresholds of outstanding USPH Class B unit required.
Acceleration of vesting of incentive units
Upon the occurrence of the sale of US Salt Parent Holdings, all then outstanding time-vesting incentive units and performance-vesting incentive units which had not yet become vested became vested as of the consummation of such sale and were included in the shares acquired as part of the US Salt Acquisition. The Company elected an accounting policy to treat compensation costs due to acceleration as a result of the change in control provision included in the original terms of the awards as acquisition-related consideration transferred. Accordingly, the fair value of the accelerated portion of the awards represented by the cash or Holdings units transferred in exchange for the units subject to accelerated vesting was included in the total consideration transferred for the acquisition and no share‑based compensation expense related to such acceleration was recognized in either the Predecessor or Successor periods. Refer to Note 1, Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, for further information.
Noncontrolling parent interests
US Salt Parent Holdings owns 99% of US Salt Intermediate Holdings, LLC ("Intermediate Holdings"). The remaining 1% interest was held by Aggregator, which was controlled by Emerald Lake. Intermediate Holdings owned 100% of US Salt Holdings and its operating subsidiaries. US Salt Parent Holdings controlled Intermediate Holdings and US Salt and, accordingly, consolidated Intermediate Holdings and its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The noncontrolling parent interest represented Aggregator’s 1% ownership interest in Intermediate Holdings, which was held by an entity other than US Salt Parent Holdings. This interest was presented as noncontrolling parent interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and within equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The condensed consolidated financial statements recognized the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities offset by the noncontrolling interest in total equity.
Stockholders' equity (Successor)
ContextLogic Equity
On February 25, 2026, the Company completed the Rights Offering and issued 429,463 common shares of ContextLogic common stock to subscribers for gross proceeds of $3.4 million or $8.00 per share. In addition, in connection with the Abrams Backstop Agreements, the Company issued 190,496 and 2,598,611 common shares to ACP I and ACP II, respectively for gross proceeds of $22.3 million or $8.00 per share.
On February 26, 2026 the Company issued 15,480,427 common shares as a portion of the equity consideration for the US Salt Acquisition recorded at a fair value of $123.9 million.
Noncontrolling Interest - ContextLogic Holdings LLC Units
On February 26, 2026, the Second A&R LLC Agreement became effective for ContextLogic Holdings LLC, establishing and governing the rights, preferences and obligations of each class of units of Holdings. Holdings' membership interests are represented by three classes of units: Class A Convertible Preferred Units ("Preferred Units"), Class B Common Units (comprising Class B-1 and Class B-2 series), and Class P Units. The Preferred Units are held by the Company's investors and rank senior to all other units with respect to distributions and liquidation proceeds. The Class B Common Units ("Common Units") are held by the Company and represent the primary common equity interest in Holdings. The Class P
Units are profits interests and are subordinate to both the Preferred Units and Common Units. Each class of units was issued in exchange for cash or other property contributions made to Holdings by its members (the "Capital Contributions").
Class A Convertible Preferred Units
The Preferred Units were issued at $8.00 per unit (the "Class A Contribution Amount"), representing each unit's stated invested capital. Each Preferred Unit is convertible at the holder's option at any time into one Class B-2 Common Unit (subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar transactions), provided that any conversion notice must cover at least the greater of (i) one-third of the converting member's then-outstanding Preferred Units or (ii)5,000 Preferred Units.
With respect to distributions and upon liquidation or dissolution, the Preferred Units rank senior to the Common Units and Class P Units and are entitled to receive distributions pro rata based on each Class A member's relative ownership of outstanding Preferred Units until each Class A member has received a full return of its Capital Contributions in respect of its Preferred Units. Prior to any such distribution, Holdings must provide Class A members at least five (5) business days' prior written notice (a "Class A Distribution Notice") detailing the distribution amount and the comparative amount that would be distributed upon conversion into Class B-2 Common Units, giving holders the opportunity to convert prior to the distribution. Class A members that are accredited investors also hold preemptive rights to purchase their pro rata share of any new units or other equity interests issued by Holdings to Abrams, BCP or their respective affiliates.
Class B Common Units
The Class B Common Units consist of two series: Class B-1 Common Units, which carry voting rights, and Class B-2 Common Units, which are non-voting and are issuable solely upon conversion of Class A Convertible Preferred Units. Class B-1 Common Units are held by ContextLogic directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiary Blocker. ContextLogic effectively holds all outstanding Class B-1 Common Units and, as the sole holder of voting units in Holdings, holds all voting power of Holdings. No Class B-2 Common Units are currently outstanding.
Class B members receive distributions pro rata based on each Class B member's relative ownership of outstanding Common Units, after Class A members have received a full return of their Capital Contributions, and until each Class B member has received a full return of its Capital Contributions in respect of Common Units. Thereafter, all remaining distributions are made pro rata to all members based on aggregate Common Units and, subject to any Retained Distributions (as defined below), Class P Units outstanding.
Class P Units
The Class P Units are intended to qualify as "profits interests" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. They are subordinate to both Preferred Units and Common Units in the distribution waterfall. Distributions on unvested Class P Units are retained by Holdings ("Retained Distributions") and released to Class P Unit holders only upon vesting. Any Retained Distributions attributable to forfeited units are redistributed to remaining members in accordance with the standard distribution waterfall. Refer to Note 15, Equity Award Activity, Unit-Based Compensation (Predecessor), and Stock-Based Compensation (Successor), for more information about Class P Units granted.
Noncontrolling Interest Activity
On February 26, 2026, immediately prior to the US Salt Acquisition, BCP acquired additional Preferred Units for gross proceeds of $75.0 million, which together with BCP’s previously held Preferred Units and Class A accumulated distributions (previously reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interest), converted into 19,123 thousand Preferred Units with an aggregate value of $153.0 million in conjunction with the US Salt Acquisition. Upon completion of the acquisition and implementation of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, the Preferred Units held by BCP no longer have redemption features and are therefore reflected as noncontrolling interests as a component of the Company’s equity.
On February 26, 2026, pursuant to the BCP Backstop Agreement, BCP acquired an additional 11,156 thousand Preferred Units for aggregate proceeds of $89.3 million.
On February 26, 2026, Holdings issued 25,176 thousand Preferred Units, recorded at a fair value of $201.4 million, as a portion of the equity consideration for the US Salt Acquisition.
Because the noncontrolling interest activity described above occurred in conjunction with the US Salt Acquisition, all activity is reflected as Successor equity activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
Net Income or Loss Allocation under HLBV
Given the preferred distribution structure described above, the Company allocates its net income or loss using the HLBV method. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interest represent the amounts Holdings' members would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date under the liquidation provisions of the Second A&R LLC Agreement, assuming the net assets of the funding structures were liquidated at their recorded amounts determined in accordance with GAAP. The members' interests in Holdings' results of operations are determined as the difference in noncontrolling interest at the start and end of each reporting period, after taking into account any capital transactions between Holdings and its members.
At a high level, if Holdings is in a net loss position, all net losses would be 100% attributed to the Class B Members until all Class B Capital Contribution was eroded. Then, net losses would be 100% attributed to the Class A Members.
If Holdings is in a net income position, it would be allocated first to any Business Needs (as defined in the Second A&R LLC Agreement, to the extent not already reflected in LLC’s net assets); second to restore Class A's Capital Contributions to full; third to restore Class B's Capital Contributions to full; fourth to Class P to the extent described in the Second A&R LLC Agreement; and fifth to Class B (B-1 and any converted B-2) and Class P Members on a pro-rata basis.
NOTE 15. EQUITY Award activity, UNIT-BASED COMPENSATION (PREDECESSOR), AND STOCK-based compensation (SUCCESSOR)
Unit-Based Compensation (Predecessor)
US Salt Parent Holdings recognized compensation expense in its condensed consolidated financial statements because its employees and members of the Board of Directors provided services to US Salt Parent Holdings and benefited from the USPH Class B units issued to them. The USPH Class B units are issued for no consideration. Refer to Note 14, Equity and Noncontrolling Interest, for more information about the USPH Class B units.
There were no USPH Class B units granted during the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) or the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
The following table summarizes USPH Class B units activity for the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor):

Under the valuation methodology theory underlying the option pricing model, the fair value of the USPH Class B units was comprised of intrinsic and extrinsic values. Considering the specific features and attributes of the USPH Class B units, the entire fair value of the units was comprised of the underlying extrinsic value (i.e., the present value of the potential future benefits as of the respective measurement dates) while no value was assigned to the intrinsic value for the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Upon consummation of the sale of US Salt Parent Holdings, there is no remaining unrecognized compensation expense for the time-vesting and performance-vesting USPH Class B units other than what was included as part of the consideration transferred. Refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, for further information.

(2)
Predecessor information is member-unit based compensation.
The Company will recognize the remaining $0.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs over a weighted-average period of approximately 1 year.
Class P Unit Grants (Successor)
On March 6, 2025, the Board approved, and the Company entered into, an employment agreement for Mr. Rishi Bajaj to serve as the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), including a revised compensation package (the "Employment Agreement"), effective March 6, 2025 (the "Effective Date"). On the Effective Date, Mr. Bajaj was awarded 1,423 thousand Class P Units, consisting of an award targeted at 1,423 thousand performance-based Class P Units which will be earned and will vest based on the achievement of specified Company stock price targets, up to a maximum of 1,898 thousand Class P Units (the "Initial Grant").
In December 2025, the Company and Mr. Bajaj entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the "Separation Agreement"), under which the Company granted 600 thousand Class P Units in Holdings (the "Transaction Grant") to RB Strategic Holdings LP – Easter Series, an entity controlled by Mr. Bajaj. The Transaction Grant was issued to Mr. Bajaj as consideration for services rendered during his tenure as CEO and as recognition of his contributions in initiating and advancing the US Salt Acquisition.
The Transaction Grant is equity-classified under ASC 718 and was measured at fair value as of the grant date, which the Company determined to be December 7, 2025 as it was the date on which all key terms were approved and mutually understood ("Transaction Grant Date").
The Transaction Grant contains both a performance condition and a market condition, but no substantive service condition:
Performance Condition – The US Salt Acquisition must close for the award to become eligible to vest. The award is forfeited in its entirety if the transaction does not close.
Market Condition – Vesting requires the Company's common stock to reach $30 per share (based on a 20‑day average closing price) at any point through December 31, 2030. This condition is incorporated into the fair value measurement under the Monte Carlo simulation model.
Service Condition – The Company determined that the Separation Agreement’s cooperation and restrictive covenants do not constitute a substantive service requirement. Therefore, no service‑based vesting condition exists.
A Monte Carlo simulation model under the option pricing method was used to estimate the fair value of the Transaction Grant as of the grant date. The fair value incorporated a discount for lack of marketability because the Class P Units represent non‑marketable, minority interests in Holdings that lack control rights, have no active trading market, and are subject to transfer restrictions. In addition, the priority distribution rights afforded to the Class A and Class B Units subordinate the Class P Units economically, resulting in greater volatility in their expected returns relative to the controlling equity interests. The total fair value granted for the Transaction Grant was $0.3 million.
The valuation assumptions utilized for the Transaction Grant as of the December 7, 2025 grant date were as follows:
| Expected time to a liquidity event (1) | 5.23 years |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility (2) | 30% |
| Risk-free interest rate (3) | 3.71% |
| Equity value (4) | $738 |
| Discount for lack of marketability | 20% |
(1)
Represents the expected time to a liquidity event as of the measurement date.
(2)
Given the fundamental change in the Company’s business expected to result from the closing of the US Salt deal, the Company’s historical stock price volatility is not a reasonable proxy for expected volatility. Accordingly, the Company estimated expected volatility using a selected group of guideline public companies, considering industry alignment, size, and stage of development, with adjustments to reflect differences in financial leverage.
(3)
The risk-free rate equals the continuously compounded yield from the US Treasury’s published Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates as of the Transaction Grant Date for a period equal to the time from the Transaction Grant Date until the expected liquidity event, assuming linear interpolation between terms.
(4)
Holdings’ underlying equity value on the Transaction Grant Date was estimated to be equal to the capital contributions for the Class A Units and Class B Units on a pro forma basis assuming closing of the US Salt Acquisition.
Because the Transaction Grant contains no substantive service condition, compensation cost is recognized in full when achievement of the performance condition (closing of the US Salt Acquisition) is probable. On February 27, 2026, upon the consummation of the US Salt Acquisition, the performance condition was achieved and thus the Company recognizedan expense of $0.3 million related to the vesting of the Transaction Grant. However, because the market condition has not been met, it remains outstanding and will continue to vest.
Similarly, because the Company's Board terminated Mr. Bajaj without Cause, the Initial Grant remains outstanding and will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement. However, all stock-based compensation expense related to the Initial Grant was accelerated and expensed on Mr. Bajaj's termination date in December 2025.
Changes in the Initial Grant and the Transaction Grant for the period from February 27, 2026 to ended March 31, 2026(Successor), were as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Initial Grant | Transaction Grant | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | Number of Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
| Nonvested at February 27, 2026 (Successor) | 1,898 | $2.39 | 600 | $0.56 |
| Vested | — | — | — | — |
| Forfeited | — | — | — | — |
| Nonvested at March 31, 2026 (Successor) | 1,898 | $2.39 | 600 | $0.56 |
NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
The Company holds an economic interest in Holdings and consolidates its financial position and results. The remaining ownership of Holdings not held by the Company is considered a noncontrolling interest. Holdings is treated as a partnership for income tax reporting and its members, including the Company, are liable for federal, and state income taxes based on their share of Holdings' taxable income. Prior to the acquisition, US Salt was treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, in which the partnership’s taxable income or loss was passed through to its unitholders.
The Company’s tax provision for the interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company assesses its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in the period of change.
The Company’s quarterly tax provision and the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is subject to fluctuation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax earnings, the geographic distribution of the pre-tax earnings, tax law changes, non-deductible expenses, such as stock-based compensation, and changes in the estimate of the valuation allowance.
The benefit for income taxes was $41.9 million (157%) for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor). There was no provision for or benefit from income taxes for the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) or for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor). The Company’s effective tax rate for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor) differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the release of valuation allowance associated with the acquisition of US Salt and additional valuation allowance on tax attributes generated during the period. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor) differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% as US Salt was a partnership and not subject to federal or state corporate income taxes.
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on its domestic net deferred tax assets which is excluded from the annual effective tax rate estimate.
The Company hadno unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Predecessor). There wereno interest and penalties associated with the unrecognized tax benefits for the period from February 27, 2026 to March 31, 2026 (Successor), the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor), and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state or other jurisdictions. All tax returns will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities forthree andfour years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss or credits. Certain tax years are subject to foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities until the statute of limitations expire.

|---|---|
| (in thousands) | |
| Common stock options outstanding | 363 |
| Total | 363 |
Calculation of Net Income per Unit (Predecessor)
US Salt Parent Holdings used the two-class method in its computation of net income per unit. US Salt Parent Holdings’ paid and unpaid USPH Class A units issued through subscription notes receivable were entitled to receive distributions at the same rate. Under the two-class method, US Salt Parent Holdings' net income available to Class A unitholders was allocated between the paid and unpaid USPH Class A units on a fully-distributed basis and reflected residual net income after amounts attributed to noncontrolling interests. In the event of a net loss, US Salt Parent Holdings determined that both paid and unpaid USPH Class A units share in the Company’s losses, and they shared in the losses using the same mechanism as the distributions. US Salt Parent Holdings also had USPH Class B units whereby vested USPH Class B units were subject to the hurdle of unreturned capital of Class A and a "Participation Threshold" before Class B unitholders received distribution of profit or distribution of sales proceeds from the sale of US Salt Parent Holdings. For the period from January 1, 2026 to February 26, 2026 (Predecessor) and the three months ended March 31, 2025 (Predecessor), USPH Class B units were participating securities for net income per unit calculation purposes because they were able to participate in undistributed earnings with USPH Class A units. However, because the Class B unit participation was contingent on overcoming the hurdle as described above that was not objectively determinable and/or subject to management discretion, US Salt Parent Holdings did not allocate undistributed earnings to Class B unless and until the contingency occurs. USPH Class B units were non-dilutive securities as the hurdle of unreturned capital of USPH Class A unitholders was not met as of March 31, 2025 (Predecessor).
Basic and dilutive net income or loss per unit was calculated by dividing undistributed earnings allocated to paid and unpaid USPH Class A unitholders by the weighted average member units outstanding for the respective period.
