Baker Hughes CompanyNotes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATIONThe Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Because legal proceedings are inherently uncertain, management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters. The Company records a liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Based on the opinion of management, the Company does not expect the ultimate outcome of currently pending legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters.On or around February 15, 2023, the lead plaintiff and three additional named plaintiffs in a putative securities class action styled The Reckstin Family Trust, et al., v. C3.ai, Inc., et al., No. 4:22-cv-01413-HSG, filed an amended class action complaint (the "Amended Complaint") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Amended Complaint names the following as defendants: (i) C3.ai., Inc. ("C3 AI"), (ii) certain of C3 AI's current and/or former officers and directors, (iii) certain underwriters for the C3 AI initial public offering (the "IPO"), and (iv) the Company, and its President and CEO (who formerly served as a director on the board of C3 AI). The Amended Complaint alleges violations of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the IPO and the subsequent period between December 9, 2020 and December 2, 2021, during which BHH LLC held equity investments in C3 AI. The action seeks unspecified damages and the award of costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees. On February 22, 2024, the Court dismissed the claims against the Company. However, on April 4, 2024, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, reasserting their claims against the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. On or around February 14, 2025, the
