ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of the Company’s operations. While the outcomes of these types of claims are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The following is also disclosed in Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Class Action Complaints On March 8, 2023, a class action lawsuit (the “Delman Complaint”) was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by plaintiff Richard Delman (the “Delman Plaintiff”) against certain defendants including the Company’s former directors (the “Delman Defendants”). Neither the Company nor Eos Energy Storage LLC were named as a defendant in the Delman Complaint, but each was identified as a relevant non-party, and the Company has indemnification obligations relating to the lawsuit. On February 1, 2024, the parties to the Delman Complaint agreed to a binding Settlement Term Sheet (the “Settlement”) whereby the Delman Plaintiff agreed to resolve the Delman Complaint in exchange for a settlement payment of $8.5 million, consisting of cash payments previously made by the Company of approximately $1.0 million and an additional cash payment of approximately $7.5 million funded by the Company’s D&O liability insurance policies. The settlement is subject to confirmatory discovery and approval by the Court of Chancery. 33 On August 1, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of New Jersey by plaintiff William Houck (the “Houck Complaint”) against the Company and against three individual officers: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its former Chief Financial Officer, and its current Chief Financial Officer (with the Company, the “Houck Defendants”). The Houck Complaint alleges that the Houck Defendants violated federal securities laws by making knowingly false or misleading statements about the Company’s contractual relationship with a customer and about the size of the Company’s order backlog and commercial pipeline. The Company has denied the allegations of wrongdoing in the Houck Complaint and intends to continue to vigorously defend against this action. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES None. PART II
