Contingencies

On September 8, 2023, a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws was filed by West Palm Beach Police Pension Fund in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona against us, our Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer. On December 1, the court appointed lead plaintiff, and on February 20, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended and consolidated complaint. The amended and consolidated complaint alleges that we violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements that failed to disclose adverse facts about our financial guidance, business operations and prospects, and seeks class certification, damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. Due to the early stage of this proceeding, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any. We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in this matter.

On March 13, 2024 and March 14, 2024, derivative actions were separately filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and Delaware by John Clemens and Sally Flynn, on behalf of the Company, against our officers and directors. Both complaints include substantially the same allegations as those in the securities class action, and allege that the defendant directors and officers harmed the Company by either making false or misleading statements, or allowing false or misleading statements to be made. The complaints seek the award of damages, costs and attorneys’ fees, and other declaratory relief. The parties in both the Arizona and Delaware derivative actions have filed stipulations to stay the actions pending resolution of the securities class action. Due to the early stage of these proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any. We dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and intend to defend ourselves vigorously in these matters.

We are defendants in lawsuits or potential claims encountered in the normal course of business. When the potential liability from a matter can be estimated and the loss is considered probable, we record the estimated loss. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits, investigations and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from the estimates. We do not expect that the resolutions of any of these matters will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. We did not record any material loss contingencies as of June 29, 2024, September 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023.

Our workers’ compensation insurance program, general liability insurance program, and employee group medical plan have self-insurance retention features of up to $0.4 million per event as of June 29, 2024, September 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023. We had standby letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $10.9 million as of June 29, 2024 for the purpose of securing such obligations under our workers’ compensation self-insurance programs.
