Item 3. Legal Proceedings
SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings if a governmental authority is a party to such proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, the Company will use a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
In February 2023, GM self-disclosed potential violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act's (TSCA) requirements applicable to the import of new chemical substances at our Ultium Cells LLC joint venture to the EPA. In November 2023, these potential violations were settled via consent agreement with the EPA, the terms of which include, among other items, payment of civil penalties currently estimated at approximately $5.1 million, which could grow depending upon import activity prior to receipt of a TSCA 5(e) order. These penalties are assessed jointly and severally to GM and Ultium Cells LLC.
