ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
PMI is subject from time to time to various claims, lawsuits, and other legal and administrative proceedings (including those described below). Some of these claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may involve highly complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties and could result in damages, fines and penalties, non-monetary sanctions, or other relief. The Company intends to recognize provisions for claims or pending litigation when it determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertain nature of litigation, the ultimate outcome or actual cost of settlement may materially vary from estimates. For additional information, see “Risk Factors – Litigation Related to Trading of Our Securities.”
On February 2, 2026, a putative securities class action captioned Louie v. Picard Medical, Inc., et al. , Case No. 5:26-CV-01024, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division. The complaint names PMI as a defendant, along with certain of its current and former officers and directors and other third parties, and purports to assert claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b‑5 promulgated thereunder. The putative class period alleged is from September 2, 2025, through October 31, 2025. The complaint generally alleges, among other things, that defendants made materially false or misleading statements or omissions in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and subsequent public disclosures, and that the Company’s securities were affected by social‑media‑based promotion activity. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and other relief.
PMI believes the claims against the Company and its officers and directors are without merit and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Given the early stage of the proceedings, the outcome is inherently uncertain, PMI cannot reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss. The Company will continue to evaluate developments in this litigation each reporting period and record an accrual for loss contingencies when, and to the extent, required by applicable accounting standards.
