Axos Bank d/b/a UFB Direct, Case No. 3:24-cv-00445-BJC-DTF; and (3) Ash et al. v. Axos Bank d/b/a UFB Direct, Case No. 3:24-cv-01157-BJC-DTF (collectively, the “UFB Actions”). The plaintiffs in the UFB Actions allege that certain rate representations made by Axos Bank with respect to its UFB products were false or misleading. Axos Bank filed 

25

a motion to compel arbitration or dismiss the complaint in each of the UFB Actions. On September 13, 2024, the court entered an order compelling arbitration in each lawsuit. Accordingly, a separate AAA arbitration was initiated with respect to each of the UFB Actions. On March 26, 2025, the arbitrator in the Pliszka arbitration proceedings issued an order finding that none of the claims raised are subject to arbitration, dismissing the arbitration and remanding the case back to the United States District Court. A similar conclusion was reached by the arbitrator in the Ash arbitration via an order issued on June 3, 2025.  The arbitrator in the Stempel arbitration reached a contrary conclusion and entered an order finding the claims to be arbitrable on June 5, 2025. On October 11, 2024, Defendant filed an appeal seeking to enforce Defendant’s updated/modified Account Agreement and Online Access Agreement in Stempel, Pliszka and Ash. Defendant’s opening brief in such appeal was filed July 11, 2025. On September 9, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Action granted Defendant’s renewed motion to compel arbitration. Defendant disputes, and intends to vigorously defend against, the allegations raised in the UFB Actions. The Company does not expect the ultimate outcome of the UFB Actions to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. It is not presently possible to state whether the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable or remote, or to estimate the amount or range of any possible loss to the Company should an unfavorable outcome occur.
