Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business,
including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements with
respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be reasonably estimated. If a material loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably
estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, the
Company has not established an estimated range of reasonably possible material losses either because it believes that is
has valid defenses to claims asserted against it, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would
enable it to establish an estimate, or the potential loss is not material. The Company currently does not expect the
outcome of pending legal proceedings to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of
one or more claims asserted against the Company could adversely impact its consolidated results of operations, financial
position or cash flows. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred.

On September 27, 2024, a purported customer served a putative class action complaint on behalf of themself and a
putative class of California consumers against Sleep Number in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California alleging that Sleep Number’s beds are perpetually on sale in violation of California law. The Plaintiff seeks
injunctive relief, damages and attorneys fees.
Consumer Credit Arrangements
The Company refers customers seeking extended financing to certain third-party financiers (Card Servicers). The Card
Servicers, if credit is granted, establish the interest rates, fees, and all other terms and conditions of the customer’s
account based on their evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. As the accounts are owned by the Card
Servicers, at no time are the accounts purchased or acquired from Sleep Number. The Company is not liable to the Card
Servicers for its customers’ credit defaults.
Commitments
As of December 28, 2024, the Company has $23 million of inventory purchase commitments. As part of the normal
course of business, there are a limited number of inventory supply contracts that contain penalty provisions for failure to
purchase contracted quantities. The Company does not currently expect any material payments under these provisions.
At December 28, 2024, the Company had entered into 7 lease commitments primarily for future retail store locations.
These lease commitments provide for total lease payments over the next 11 to 12 years, which if consummated based on
current cost estimates, would approximate $12 million over the initial lease term. The future lease payments for these
lease commitments have been excluded in the total operating lease payments in Note 7, Leases.
