Contingencies CONTINGENCIES
    
(a)    Cannabis Industry

While marijuana is legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with varying restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug, whether for medical or recreational use. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, there is an inherent risk related to the federal government’s position on cannabis. There is additional risk associated with the Company’s business in cannabis that third-party service providers could suspend or withdraw services and regulatory bodies could impose certain restrictions on the issuer’s ability to operate in the U.S. As of September 30, 2023, Company has not estimated a potential liability related to the possible enforcement of laws against the medical cannabis industry.

(b)    Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be involved in certain disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Such disputes, taken in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

On January 26, 2022, Savills, Inc. sued the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. That lawsuit alleged the Company had breached an alleged agreement with Savills under which the Company was allegedly required to pay Savills a percentage of savings realized under certain incentive programs offered in some jurisdictions, which Savills would assist the Company in obtaining. Savills claimed damages of approximately $19.4 million in connection with its claim that it obtained benefits for the Company allegedly valued at over $129.0 million. The Company denied these allegations, denied the Company had obtained such benefits, disputed Savills’ characterization of the facts, and denied liability. The Company filed a counterclaim against Savills alleging breach of contract by Savills. On August 3, 2022, the parties reached a confidential settlement in principle and agreed to dismissal of all claims, which was finalized on September 12, 2022 and required the Company to pay $0.25 million in five monthly installments beginning in October 2022. In addition to this initial payment, there is a portion of the settlement that is contingent on future tax savings. As of September 30, 2023, this additional contingent amount is not reasonably estimable.
On May 9, 2023, Florival LLC (“Florival”) sued the Company in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Cruz. The lawsuit alleged the Company had breached an agreement with Florival under which Company subsidiary Island Global Holdings, Inc. (“Island”) agreed to purchase the membership interests of licensed cannabis cultivator Gold Coast Gardens, LLC. Florival claimed damages of $0.85 million. The Company denied it had any direct liability under the agreement, which was executed two years before the Company’s acquisition of Island and asserted an unclean hands defense on behalf of both the Company and Island based on Florival’s inequitable conduct during the litigation. On November 7, 2023, the court entered summary judgment against the Company and Island. The Company and Island intends to appeal the decision. Management has accrued $0.85 million related to this matter as of September 30, 2023.

On September 14, 2023, Teichman Enterprises, Inc. (“Teichman”) sued Company subsidiary 4Front California Capital Holdings, Inc. (“4Front CA”) in the California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleged 4Front CA had breached a lease with Teichman for 4Front CA’s facility in Commerce, California by failing to pay rent due under the lease. Teichman sought possession of the property and damages of $0.6 million. 4Front CA denied the allegations, but vacated the facility. Trial is set for January 2024. Management has accrued $0.6 million related to this matter as of September 30, 2023.

On September 29, 2023, Teichman Enterprises, Inc. sued 4Front CA and the Company in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleged the Company had breached a lease agreement with Teichman under which the Company entered into a 10 year lease commitment ending on January 31, 2029, and that the Company breached its guarantee of the lease. Teichman has alleged total rent owed under the lease agreement is $13.4 million in addition to a license fee of $1.0 million and additional damages. Total damages sought from Teichman under the lease contracts is $15.5 million. 4Front CA and the Company denied the allegations in the compliant, and denied that Teichman was entitled to the full amount of damages claimed due to Teichman's obligation to mitigate. Based on management's review of case, the Company has accrued $2.0 million associated with this legal liability as of September 30, 2023.
