 against us, we may incur significant legal fees, settlements or damages awards. If any such matter is not ultimately resolved in our favor, losses arising from the results of litigation or settlements, as well as ongoing defense costs or adverse changes in our dealer network, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

***

In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of a particular company’s securities, securities class action lawsuits have often been instituted against affected companies, and as noted above, this type of lawsuit has been instituted against us in the form of the Milbeck Federal Securities Litigation and the Derivative Litigation, among others. Additional lawsuits of this type or similar types, if instituted against us or one or more of our officers or directors, whether arising from alleged facts the same as, similar to or different from those alleged in the Milbeck Federal Securities Litigation or the Derivative Litigation, could result in significant legal fees, settlements or damage awards, as well as the diversion of our management’s attention and resources, and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Further, in April 2024 we initiated a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against the landlord of our former principal executive offices in Santa Monica. The lawsuit, which we filed in connection with providing the landlord with a termination notice with respect to the lease agreement pursuant to which we leased such offices, sought declaratory judgment that our termination was justified under applicable California law, along with certain other relief. In May 2024, following our initiation of the lawsuit, the landlord of our former executive offices filed a cross-complaint against us alleging breach of contract as a result of our termination of the lease and seeking an unspecified amount of damages. A trial for this matter has been scheduled for April 2027. If this matter is not ultimately resolved in our favor, losses arising from the results of litigation or settlements, as well as ongoing costs of litigation, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have incurred significant legal fees in our defense of certain of the matters referred to above and we may incur additional fees and other liabilities in connection with those matters that are still pending and any additional lawsuits that may be filed against us or one or more of our officers or directors hereafter. Our insurance policies may not provide sufficient coverage to adequately mitigate the legal fees and potential liabilities arising from these matters
