These formal and informal actions may involve inquiries, subpoenas, exams, pending investigations, enforcement matters and litigation by state and federal regulators, cease and desist orders, fines, civil penalties, criminal penalties or other disciplinary action or force us to adopt new compliance programs or policies, remove personnel including senior executives, provide remediation or refunds to customers, or undertake other changes to our business operations, such as limits or prohibitions of our ability to offer certain products and services, or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses.

We have in the past, and may again in the future, enter into settlements, consent decrees and similar arrangements with the FTC, the CFPB, state attorneys generals and other state regulators, and other sovereign regulators and competition authorities such as the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). In addition, certain products and offers we offer, including loans or advance products facilitated through our platform, could be rendered void or unenforceable in whole or in part, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If we fail to manage our legal and regulatory risk in the jurisdictions in which we operate, our business could suffer, our reputation could be harmed and we would be subject to additional legal and regulatory risks. This could, in turn, increase the size and number of claims and damages asserted against us and/or subject us to regulatory investigations, enforcement actions or other proceedings, or lead to increased regulatory concerns. We may also be required to spend additional time and resources on remedial measures and conducting inquiries, beyond those already initiated and ongoing, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, the highly regulated environment in which our third-party financial institution partners operate may subject us to regulation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In connection Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits and other long-term taxes as of April 3, 2026, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the acquisition of Avast, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the September 2022 Plan) to realize cost savings and operational synergies, which became effective upon the close of the acquisition on September 12, 2022. We have incurred and expect to incur cash expenditures for severance and termination benefits, contract terminations, facilities closures, and the sale of underutilized facilities as well as stock-based compensation charges for accelerated equity awards for certain terminated employees. We expect that we will incur total costs up to $150 million following the completion of the acquisition. These actions are expected to be completed by the end of calendar year 2025. During fiscal 2025, we made $25 respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $1,584 million in cash payments related to long-term income taxes payable has been excluded from the September 2022 Plan. contractual obligations table.

AddedRisk Factors
Our cyber safety and financial wellness businesses compete with a broad range of companies, including established security software vendors, operating system and platform providers, companies who specialize in a niche segment of the cyber safety market and which are expanding their portfolios into competing cyber safety products, traditional banks and credit unions, licensed and non-bank digital financial service providers, specialty finance companies, digital wealth management and brokerage platforms, embedded finance providers, financial marketplaces, and other technology companies. Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do. They may be able to offer more competitive pricing or terms, bundle products more effectively, introduce new, enhanced, broader or more specialized offerings more quickly (including for free), or respond more rapidly to technological and consumer trends. We expect our competition to continue to increase, as there are generally no substantial barriers to entry into the markets we serve.

AddedRisk Factors
In addition, operating system and platform providers increasingly incorporate native security, privacy, and financial features into their products, often at no additional cost, which may reduce demand for our offerings or diminish their differentiation. We also depend on strategic distribution and bundling relationships, and partners have in the past replaced, and may in the future replace, our solutions with competing or internally developed offerings, promote competing products more favorably, or limit interoperability. Industry consolidation, vertical integration, and the introduction of new or alternative technologies may further intensify competition.

AddedRisk Factors
We have incorporated, and are continuing to develop and deploy, AI, including Gen AI, into many of our products, solutions and services. AI systems, including AI internally developed and AI present in third party solutions, may be flawed, contain errors or vulnerabilities, reflect unintended bias, or produce inaccurate, misleading or “hallucinatory” outputs, and such deficiencies may not be easily detectable. Customers may rely on AI-generated outputs in making financial, security or other significant decisions. If AI-enabled features in our products produce incorrect, incomplete or biased outputs, we could face claims of misrepresentation, negligence, product liability or other legal theories, as well as customer dissatisfaction, reputational harm and loss of business. Furthermore, we may face allegations of misrepresentations or “AI washing” if our disclosures about our AI capabilities or our AI-related governance are deemed to be exaggerated or misleading, which could result in enforcement actions, litigation or reputational harm.
