From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Our management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, the Company and certain of its officers had been named as defendants in a putative securities class action filed in February 2025 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The case was purportedly filed on behalf of persons who claim to have suffered damages as a result of alleged misstatements concerning the progress of the Company’s Neutron rocket development. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint in August 2025. While the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss in November 2025, the Plaintiff subsequently filed an amended Complaint, and in response the Company again filed a new Motion to Dismiss this Complaint in January 2026. On April 16, 2026, our Motion to Dismiss the securities class action was granted with prejudice. Plaintiffs did not appeal the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Relying on many of the same allegations as the securities class action, in April 2025, two shareholders filed putative shareholder derivative actions on behalf of the Company against its directors and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The two consolidated derivative actions remained stayed pending final resolution of the motion to dismiss in the securities case. On May 28, 2026, the Court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to dismiss the consolidated derivative action in its entirety.
