CLEVELAND-CLIFFS INC. 10-Q

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Environmental Matters . SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about administrative or judicial proceedings involving the environment and to which a governmental authority is a party if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to SEC regulations, we use a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. We believe that this threshold is reasonably designed to result in disclosure of any such proceedings that are material to our business or financial condition. We have described the other material pending legal proceedings, including administrative or judicial proceedings involving the environment, to which we are a party in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES to the consolidated financial statements in Part I – Item 1.
