The Company has also been is subject to litigation initiated by its stockholders. The pending proceedings involve complex questions of fact and law and will require the expenditure of significant funds and the diversion of other resources to prosecute and defend. In addition, from time to time, the Company becomes aware that it is subject to other contingent liabilities. When this occurs, the Company will evaluate the appropriate accounting for the potential contingent liabilities to determine whether a contingent liability should be recorded. In making this determination, management may, depending on the nature of the matter, consult with internal and external legal counsel and technical experts. Based on the facts and circumstances in each matter, the Company uses its judgment to determine whether it is probable that a contingent loss has occurred and whether the amount of such loss can be estimated. If the Company determines a loss is probable and estimable, the Company records a contingent loss. In determining the amount of a contingent loss, the Company takes into account advice received from experts for each specific matter regarding the status of legal proceedings, settlement negotiations, prior case history and other factors. Should the judgments and estimates made by management need to be adjusted as additional information becomes available, the Company may need to record additional contingent losses. Alternatively, if the judgments and estimates made by management are adjusted, for example, if a particular contingent loss does not occur, the contingent loss recorded would be reversed.

AddedRisk Factors
As discussed in Notes 2 and 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we restated our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2025 after we determined that we had not appropriately accounted for deferred income taxes associated with a one-time tax incentive granted by a certain foreign jurisdiction. As a result of this error and the resulting restatement of our audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted periods, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, unanticipated accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and are subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of litigation and regulatory inquiries. The restatement may adversely affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures, may harm our reputation and our business and could cause our stock price to decline.
