Legal Proceedings\n\nFrom time to time we have been and may in the future become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business activities or in connection with transactions or activities undertaken by us, including claims related to worker safety, worker health, environmental matters, land use rights, taxes, and permits. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management (based on currently available facts), we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.\n\nPlease refer to Item 1. Business – Industry Segment Information, for information regarding certain legal proceedings relating to the disapproval by the EPA in February 2023 of SIPs for the States of Nevada, Oklahoma, and Texas, which addressed the obligations of such states to eliminate significant contributions to non-attainment, or interference with maintenance, of the 2015 ozone NAAQS in other states. In response to the disapproval of the SIPs for such states, we and other third parties commenced litigation against the EPA in April 2023. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these actions.\n\nFor additional information regarding claims and other contingent liabilities to which we may be subject, see Footnote (J) in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements."}
