Item 3. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. Our management believes that there are currently no claims or actions pending against us, the ultimate disposition of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, the Company and certain of our officers have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action filed in February 2025 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The case was purportedly filed on behalf of persons who claim to have suffered damages as a result of alleged misstatements concerning the progress of our Neutron rocket development. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on August 27, 2025. The Court granted the Motion to Dismiss on November 10, 2025. The Plaintiff filed an amended Complaint on December 19, 2025, and the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss this Complaint on January 19, 2026. Relying on many of the same allegations as the securities class action, in April 2025, two shareholders filed putative shareholder derivative actions on behalf of the Company against our directors and certain of our officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Court has granted the parties’ stipulation to stay these actions pending final resolution of the Motion to Dismiss the securities class action. We intend to vigorously defend ourself against these claims and are currently unable to predict the timing, outcome or consequences of these actions, or estimate any probable range of loss. Item 4.
