## ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that are material to our business or financial condition.

From time to time, we have been a party to legal proceedings arising at the country, state or local level involving environmental sites to which we have shipped, directly or indirectly, small amounts of toxic waste, such as paint solvents. As of the filing date of this Form 10-KT, we have been classified only as a “de minimis” participant in such proceedings. We are not a party to any legal proceedings involving a governmental authority and arising under any federal, state or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment and involving potential monetary sanctions in excess of $300,000, other than as described below.

On February 7, 2023, TPG Plastics (“TPG”), a subsidiary of Ipackchem Group SAS, which we acquired on March 26, 2024, received a letter from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) informing TPG that the U.S. EPA had determined through testing that certain portable fuel containers (“PFCs”) that were sold between 2018 and 2022 had failed emission testing. TPG also received a letter from The California Air Resources Board (“CARB”), dated November 7, 2023, informing TPG that compliance testing performed by CARB revealed that certain PFCs sold in 2018 to 2022 were noncompliant with California’s PFC performance standards. TPG had already discontinued the manufacture of PFCs that were the subject of the U.S. EPA in and CARB letters before the end of 2022.

We have cooperated with the governmental agencies in these investigations and proceedings. As of the filing date of this Form 10-KT, we expect to pay a penalty of $525,000 to CARB. No
