Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal actions and claims. Other than any such ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business and except as described below, we are not currently a party to, nor is our property currently subject to, any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

On April 18, 2025, an alleged stockholder (the “Plaintiff”), individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a putative class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws against us, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, our former Chief Financial Officer and our former President and Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (the “Complaint”). The Complaint purports to bring a federal securities class action on behalf of a class of persons and entities other than the Defendants who acquired our securities between June 9, 2023 and March 7, 2025 and asserts violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Defendants made materially false and misleading statements related to our business, operations and prospects, including the timing and costs of developing Project Permian. The Plaintiff seeks, among other things, certification of a class, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, interest, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by the Plaintiff in this matter. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that this action will be ongoing or the liability, if any, which may arise therefrom.
