Legal Proceedings\n\nThe Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to its knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against the Company other than the items contained herein.\n\nOn September 9, 2025, CO Buffalo Flats LLC and GB Solar TE 2020 Holdings LLC, subsidiaries of the Company, filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against the Project’s EPC contractor and its surety relating to module performance issues at a utility-scale solar photovoltaic project (the “Project”). Following identification of certain operational concerns, the Company initiated an engineering review and engaged independent consultants to evaluate, among other matters, module selection, module quality and compatibility with the Project’s mounting structure. The Company provided formal notice of claims to the EPC contractor, the module manufacturer and other potentially responsible parties pursuant to applicable project agreements. The Company is also evaluating potential recovery under contractual warranties, indemnities and applicable insurance policies. The arbitration is pending, and a procedural schedule is in the process of being established, with hearings currently proposed for September 2027. The Company cannot predict the timing or the resolution of this matter.\n\nOn July 25, 2025, Robin MCK LLC (“Robin MCK”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a complaint against McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”) in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County. The Company alleges that McKesson breached its contractual obligations under a PPA and associated site lease by refusing to permit repairs and reenergization of the rooftop solar energy facility following a July 2023 fire, and seeks declaratory relief, specific performance, injunctive relief, and monetary damages of not less than $18 million including damages related to claimed lost revenue, as well as additional amounts for lost renewable energy credits, environmental incentives, and interest. On January 30, 2026, McKesson filed an answer denying the allegations and asserting multiple affirmative defenses. McKesson did not assert any counterclaims in its filing. The litigation remains pending. The Company cannot predict the timing or the resolution of this matter.\n\nOn March 11, 2026, a third party filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, alleging breach of contract and anticipatory repudiation under a membership interest purchase agreement executed in March 2023 related to the planned acquisition of a solar and battery storage project located in Montana. The complaint seeks, among other things, certain monetary damages plus declaratory relief that the plaintiff is not obligated to arbitrate the dispute. On March 12, 2026, the subsidiary filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association arising from the same agreement. The Company disputes the allegations, believes that arbitration is the appropriate forum for resolution, and is seeking to enforce the arbitration provisions contained in the parties’ agreements.\n\nOn April 16, 2026, the Chapter 7 trustee for EVCE filed an adversary complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado against the Company and certain affiliates seeking recovery of amounts allegedly transferred to the Company prior to EVCE’s bankruptcy filing. The Company will respond to the complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the claims."}
