On December 29, 2010, Lufthansa Technik AG (“Lufthansa”) filed a Statement of Claim in the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany.
Lufthansa’s claim asserted that a subsidiary of the Company, AES, sold, marketed, and brought into use in Germany a power supply system that infringes upon a German patent held by Lufthansa.
−Removed: Lufthansa sought an order requiring AES to stop selling and marketing the allegedly infringing power supply system, a recall of allegedly infringing products sold to commercial customers in Germany since November 26, 2003, and compensation for damages related to direct sales of the allegedly infringing power supply system in Germany (referred to as “direct sales”).
−Removed: AES modified the outlet units at the end of 2014 and the overwhelming majority of the modified outlet units sold from 2015 do not infringe the patent of Lufthansa.
In February 2015, the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany held that the patent was infringed.
−Removed: The judgment did not require AES to recall products that are already installed in aircraft or had been sold to other end users.
The Company appealed to the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe.
−Removed: On November 15, 2016, the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe upheld the lower court’s decision.

−Removed: This action, therefore, addresses sales other than those covered by the action filed on December 29, 2010, discussed above.
−Removed: No amount of claimed damages has been specified by Lufthansa.
−Removed: A first instance decision in this matter was issued on December 6, 2019.
−Removed: The Court found that indirect sales (as defined above) by AES to international customers infringe the patent under the conditions specified in the judgment and that the sale of components of the EmPower system to Germany constitutes an indirect patent infringement.
−Removed: The Court rejected Lufthansa's claim that AES is also liable for damages for the sale of modified products.
−Removed: This means that AES is not liable for damages based on the sale of modified outlet units that removed the infringing feature.

However, because the outlet units were modified at the end of 2014, the period for which AES is liable for damages in connection with indirect sales into Germany substantially finished at the end of 2014.
Both Lufthansa and AES have filed requests with the German Federal Supreme Court to be granted leave to file appeals against this decision.
−Removed: After the accounting, Lufthansa is expected to enforce its claim for damages in separate court proceedings.
+Added: Lufthansa is expected to enforce its claim for damages in separate court proceedings.
These proceedings would most likely be tried before the Mannheim Court again, which makes it probable that the Mannheim Court will determine the damages for the indirect sales based on the same principles as in the direct sales proceedings (unless the latter ruling of the Mannheim Court is reversed on appeal).
−Removed: Based on the information available and the determination of the damages in the direct sales claim discussed above, we estimated that the Company’s total exposure related to these matters that was probable and that could be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2024, was approximately $ 11.6 million plus accrued interest.
−Removed: Accrued interest on the indirect damages reserve was estimated using the same interest rate as the direct damages.
+Added: Based on the information available and the determination of the damages in the direct sales claim discussed above, we estimated that the Company’s total exposure related to these matters that was probable and that could be reasonably estimated at December 31, 2025 and 2024, was approximately $ 11.6 million plus accrued interest.
+Added: Accrued interest on the indirect damages reserve was estimated using the same interest rate as the direct damages, as were reduced on the direct damages appeal discussed above.

−Removed: In connection with the indirect sales claims, we currently believe it is unlikely that the appeals process will be completed and any damages and related interest will be paid before December 31, 2025.
−Removed: Therefore, the liability related to this matter (inclusive of accrued interest), totaling $ 17.1 million, is classified within other liabilities (non-current) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
+Added: We believe it is unlikely that the appeals process will be completed and any indirect damages and related interest will be paid before December 31, 2026.
