 regarding storage of and access to user data, the development and implementation of Zoom’s privacy policies, and the actions we took responding to law enforcement requests from the Chinese government. In July 2020, we received subpoenas from the Department of Justice’s U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California (“NDCA”) and the SEC. Both subpoenas seek documents and information relating to various security, data protection and privacy matters, including our encryption, and our statements relating thereto, as well as calculation of usage metrics and related public statements. In addition, the NDCA subpoena seeks information relating to any contacts between our employees and representatives of the Chinese government, and any attempted or successful influence by any foreign government in our policies, procedures, practices, and actions as they relate to users in the United States. We have since received additional subpoenas from EDNY and NDCA seeking related information. We are fully cooperating with all of these investigations and have conducted our own thorough internal investigation. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, we recorded an $18.0 million accrual with respect to a tentative settlement offer for the SEC matter. On July 30, 2025, the SEC informed us that their investigation has concluded and they do not intend to recommend an enforcement action. As a result, during the three months ended July 31, 2025, we reversed the $18.0 million previously accrued. The EDNY and NDCA investigations are ongoing, and a negative outcome in any or all of these matters could cause us to incur substantial fines, penalties, or other financial exposure, as well as reputational harm. We do not know when the EDNY and NDCA matters will be completed, which facts we will ultimately discover as a result of the investigations, or what actions the government may or may not take. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters and are unable to reasonably estimate any range of possible loss for these matters.On June 11, 2020 and July 30, 2020, purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of our officers and directors. The lawsuits asserted state and federal claims and were based on the same alleged misstatements as the shareholder class action complaint. The lawsuits accused our board of directors of failing to exercise reasonable and prudent supervision over our management, policies, practices, and internal controls. The plaintiffs sought unspecified monetary damages on behalf of us as well as governance reforms. On September
