1    In December 2021, the Company settled and paid a warranty claim for $130 million. The Company had been working with an OEM customer through the warranty process during 2021, and in December 2021, as a result of discussions that occurred in the fourth quarter, the Company (without admission of liability) and the customer reached an agreement to fully resolve the claim for $130 million. This resulted in an adjustment to prior estimates of $124 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company is pursuing a partial recovery of this claim through its insurance coverage. No amounts have been recorded to date and there can be no assurance that there will be any recovery.
