LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**\n\n \n\nOn October 28, 2024, Alan Jay Weisberg, the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Progressive Care Inc. (“RXMD”), filed a putative class action suit on behalf of himself and all other former RXMD stockholders against NextPlat, Charles M. Fernandez, the former Chief Executive Officer and director of NextPlat, and Rodney Barreto, a director of NextPlat. The complaint purports to allege a breach of fiduciary duty by NextPlat and Messrs. Fernandez and Barreto in connection with the merger of RXMD with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of NextPlat (the “Merger”), which Merger was completed on October 1, 2024 following approval by the stockholders of each of NextPlat and RXMD in stockholder meetings held on September 13, 2024 by NextPlat and RXMD, respectively. Among other things, the complaint asserts that the consideration paid to Mr. Weisberg and the other RXMD stockholders in connection with the Merger was insufficient. The monetary relief requested in the complaint includes compensatory and rescissory damages in an unspecified dollar amount. The complaint is pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The caption is*Alan Jay Weisberg v. Charles M. Fernandez, Rodney Barreto and Nextplat Corp.,* and the case number is C.A. No. 20. 24-1097-MTZ. \n\n \n\nThe Company believes the claims asserted in the action are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which was denied by the court on December 3, 2025. Although the parties have engaged in discussions regarding a potential resolution of the matter, no agreement has been reached and there can be no assurance that the matter will be resolved on acceptable terms or at all. Based on currently available information and after consultation with legal counsel, management determined that a loss associated with this matter is probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026, the Company has maintained an accrual of approximately $1.75 million, which represents management’s current estimate of loss exposure and corresponds to the Company’s applicable insurance retention under its directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage. The ultimate outcome of the matter remains uncertain, and the actual loss could differ materially from the amount accrued. Any such difference could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in the period in which the matter is resolved.\n\n \n\nFrom time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any pending legal proceeding or litigation, and, to the best of our knowledge, no governmental authority is contemplating any proceeding to which the Company is a party or to which any of the Company’s properties is subject, which would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.\n\n \n\n31\n\n[Table of Contents](#toc)"}
