 demand without first having received the responsive information requested in connection with the meet and confer session. In April 2024, counsel for NTS sent additional communications on their demand that the Company participate in their environmental monitoring and remediation planning, and in May 2024, the Company responded with a rebuttal of the allegations. The Company believes the NTS claims are without merit and intends to defend itself vigorously. In addition, in November 2021, the Company responded to a request for information from MassDEP regarding the detection of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroakyl substances) in the Acton, Massachusetts Water District’s Conant public water supply wells near the former facility at 531 Main Street, Acton, Massachusetts at a level above the standard that MassDEP published for PFAS in October 2020.

An arbitration hearing was conducted from March 31, 2025 through April 9, 2025. In connection with the hearing, the arbitrator and the parties agreed to a post-hearing briefing schedule with initial briefs due May 16, 2025, response briefs due June 13, 2025 and oral arguments on June 30, 2025. The Company continues to contest vigorously the claims under the CIC Agreement and believes that the Company has
