COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In February 2025, Engie Resources, LLC and certain of its affiliates filed an action against one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, which was later re-filed in Texas Business Court. The complaint alleged that the Company breached its contractual obligations, including certain indemnity obligations, under certain service agreements with or involving the plaintiffs, by failing to properly schedule responsive reserve service on behalf of the plaintiffs during the power crisis in Texas in February 2021. The complaint sought recovery from the Company of $47.5 million in damages. In December 2025, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add claims related to the same facts, seeking an additional $7.0 million in damages. In March 2026, the parties to the lawsuit participated in mediation and reached a settlement agreement in principle. The final agreement, including a release of all claims, was later executed, and the Company paid the settlement amount in April 2026, which was deemed by the Company as immaterial. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed with prejudice.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company is named as a party to other various lawsuits, claims and other legal and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of the Company's business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company accrues reserves when a loss is probable, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. It is the opinion of the Company’s
management that the outcome of these proceedings, individually and collectively, will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a whole.
