Franklin Saltlake LLC, the former landlord (the Landlord) for the leased premises that housed the Company’s corporate offices previously located at 2200 West Parkway Blvd, Salt Lake City, Utah, filed suit against a subsidiary, Franklin Development Corporation (Franklin Development), on December 20, 2024, in Third District Court, Salt Lake County, Utah. The original complaint alleged that Franklin Development breached the lease by failing to make certain repairs and replacements to equipment on the premises. The Landlord originally sought approximately $2.3 million in damages and a right to enter the premises to make the alleged repairs. The Company vacated the premises on June 30, 2025. The Landlord filed a supplemental complaint on September 18, 2025, alleging approximately $5 million in damages and that Franklin Development is in holdover. The Landlord now seeks no less than $9.2 million in damages. Franklin Development denies all material allegations; contends that the premises and associated equipment were in sound operating condition as of June 30, 2025, and asserts that the Landlord’s demands are contrary to the language of the lease and reasonable commercial practice. Franklin Development answered the supplemental complaint and filed a counterclaim on October 2, 2025, asserting claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory relief. The parties engaged in fact discovery, which closed on March 2, 2026, and are now engaged in expert discovery. Franklin Development continues to vigorously defend against this suit, but, given the current stage of litigation, any outcome remains uncertain.
