Commitments and Contingencies

Kunia Well Site

In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). In 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree (“Consent Decree”) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. Based on findings from remedial investigations, our subsidiary coordinated with the EPA to evaluate the clean-up work required in accordance with the Consent Decree. On July 25, 2022, an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) for the Kunia Well Site was filed by the EPA, which formally transitioned the remedy for the Kunia Well Site to a Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), thereby reducing our potential liability.

The revised estimate associated with the clean-up costs, and on which our accrual is based, is $2.7 million. As of September 26, 2025, $2.5 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $0.2 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We expect to expend approximately $0.2 million in 2025, $0.2 million in 2026, $0.3 million in 2027, $0.1 million in 2028, and $0.1 million in 2029.

California Air Resource Board

On December 21, 2022, the California Air Resource Board ("CARB") issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV") to the Company regarding alleged violations of certain California anti-air pollution regulations by three non-shore capable vessels that were subject to a time charter by us from an unrelated non-U.S. third party. We cooperated with and assisted CARB in its audits for the alleged violations during 2021. During the nine months ended September 27, 2024, we incurred expenses of $0.5 million as a contingent reserve which are included in asset impairments and other charges, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We settled amounts previously accrued for this matter during the first quarter of 2025.

Legal Settlement

On May 28, 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement with respect to a litigation matter by a former employee regarding a legacy claim stemming from the 1970s. This matter was in the discovery phase until the first quarter of 2024, when the court set the expected trial date and the parties began to discuss settlement. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2024, we incurred charges of $1.8 million, net of insurance reimbursements, associated with the settlement which are included in asset impairments and other charges, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 27, 2024.

Value Added Tax ("VAT") Receivables

In connection with administrative delays in a jurisdiction in which we operate, we have incurred delays in the collection of VAT refund claims made by the Company. As a result of these delays, as of September 26, 2025 we have classified $21.4 million of VAT receivables related to this jurisdiction as non-current assets which are included in Other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. While we believe the amounts are collectible through standard administrative processes, these amounts may ultimately need to be recovered through administrative appeals or other legal means.

Additional Information

In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows.
