6 new paragraphs in the 10-K, 10 new in the latest 10-Q
Paragraphs with nothing like them in last year's 10-K
6 paragraphs in Risk Factors of the 10-K filed Nov 13, 2025 with nothing like them in the 10-K filed Nov 14, 2024. Quoted exactly. Paragraphs that were only edited are under 10-K change.
Compared with the Risk Factors in the latest 10-K of the other 18 Communication companies: a paragraph with at least half its words the same at another company is called similar, and the companies are listed under it. A paragraph most of them have is marked boilerplate. No line means no other company has one like it. This counts text; it does not say how serious a risk is.

We face risks from claims, litigation, governmental investigations and other proceedings to our businesses, reputation, results of operation and financial condition.
We are subject to various actual and threatened claims, litigation, investigations and other proceedings, including private individual actions, class actions and actions and investigations by governmental and other regulatory authorities, relating to a range of issues, including securities; competition and antitrust; intellectual property, including patent and copyright; employment and labor; taxes; privacy and data protection; data security; personal injury and property damage; consumer protection; contractual and commercial disputes; the production, distribution and licensing of our content; and other matters. For example, a private securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against the Company and certain current and former senior management on behalf of certain purchasers of securities of the Company seeking unspecified damages, plus interest and costs and fees, and an adverse final judgment or the terms of a settlement of such matter could result in the payment of substantial monetary damages. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding this lawsuit and above in these risk factors regarding patent infringement litigation and other claims. In addition, from time to time, we pursue litigation against third parties seeking to vindicate our rights.
Actual and threatened proceedings and investigations increase our costs, divert management resources and disrupt business operations and may negatively impact our reputation and brands. The outcomes of such matters are inherently unpredictable, and determining legal reserves or potential losses from such matters involves judgment. If the losses to resolve such matters exceed the amounts recorded in any given reporting period, our results of operations for that interim or annual reporting period could be materially adversely affected. Further, from time to time, adverse resolutions or settlements of such matters result in substantial monetary damages or substantial future payment obligations and injunctive relief or other orders or actions that limit or prevent our implementation of our business plans, including our ability to complete strategic transactions and offer certain products and services, impact the enforcement or validity of our property and other (including intellectual property) rights, franchises and licenses or cause us to alter our business practices, which individually or taken together, negatively impact our business prospects, our results of operations, our financial condition and price of our common stock. While we maintain insurance for certain types of claims, our insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses and does not cover all types of claims that may arise.
