 Northern District of California against certain of our officers and directors based on substantially similar allegations as those in the putative securities class action. These two shareholder derivative actions have been consolidated and stayed pending resolution of our motion(s) to dismiss in the securities class action. On August 23, 2024 and December 20, 2024, substantially similar stockholder derivative complaints were filed against certain of our officers and directors in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware. These two shareholder derivative actions have also been stayed pending resolution of our motion(s) to dismiss in the above-referenced putative securities class action. 

Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the putative securities class action on January 15, 2025. The lead plaintiff filed an opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss on March 17, 2025. Defendants filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss on April 30, 2025. On September 24, 2025, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss.  On October 24, 2025,  the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Defendants’ motion to dismiss is due December 9, 2025, Lead Plaintiff’s opposition is due January 26, 2026, and Defendants’ reply is due February 19, 2026. A hearing has not yet been scheduled on Defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. We anticipate that we may be a target for lawsuits in the future, as we have been in the past. Any litigation to which we are a party may result in an onerous or unfavorable judgment that may not be reversed on appeal, or we may decide to settle lawsuits on similarly unfavorable terms. Any such negative outcome could result in payments of substantial monetary damages and accordingly our business could be seriously harmed. The results of lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the final outcome,

defending these claims, and associated indemnification obligations, are costly and can impose a significant burden on management and employees, and we may receive unfavorable preliminary, interim, or final rulings in the course of litigation, which could seriously harm our business.

We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our customers’ growing needs. If we are not able to grow efficiently, our business could be harmed.
