COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings, whether arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Some of these proceedings are summarized below.

PFAS Lawsuit

In April 2025, The Water Works Board of the City of Opelika, Alabama filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama, The Water Works of the City of Opelika, Alabama, v. 3M Company, et al., Case No. 43-CV-2025-900229.00, against Interface, Inc., our subsidiary InterfaceFLOR, LLC, and numerous other defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, including Interface, manufactured, sold, used, and discharged per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which have allegedly contaminated the plaintiff's water supply.

The case was removed by defendant 3M Company to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, Case No. 3:25-cv-411-ECM-CWB. Subsequently, a motion was filed to transfer the case to the Multi-District Litigation (MDL) concerning Aqueous Film-Forming Foams (AFFF) Products Liability Litigation, and the plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case to the Circuit Court of Lee County, Alabama. The federal Alabama district court for the Opelika case has issued an order staying all deadlines in the case, pending further directives.

The nature of this litigation involves complex scientific, legal and factual issues. Interface believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims brought against it, and intends to defend vigorously against them.
