The Company is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the operations of its business. Except as disclosed, the Company believes that the outcome of all such pending proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results. Some of these proceedings involve complex claims that are subject to substantial uncertainties and unascertainable potential losses. Accordingly, the Company has not established material reserves or ranges of possible loss related to these proceedings, as at this time in the proceedings, the matters do not relate to a probable loss and/or the amount or range of losses are not reasonably estimable. Although the Company believes that it has strong defenses for the litigation and regulatory proceedings described below, it could, in the future, enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Mattress Firm Pending Acquisition

On July 2, 2024, the FTC filed the Actions alleging that, if consummated, the pending acquisition of Mattress Firm may substantially lessen competition and would be an unfair method of competition. If the administrative court or the Court rule in favor of the FTC, the completion of the acquisition of Mattress Firm may be delayed for a significant period of time (including beyond the termination date of February 9, 2025) or prevented from occurring. On July 16, 2024 the Court entered a temporary restraining order enjoining the completion of the merger until the Court rules on the FTC's motion for a preliminary injunction. In each of the Company's and Mattress Firm's respective answers to the Actions, the Company and Mattress Firm each denied the FTC's substantive allegations; asserted numerous defenses; described the pro-competitive aspects and significant consumer benefits relating to the merger; and denied that the combination of their respective businesses would violate any law. On October 4, 2024, the Company filed a complaint in the Court seeking an injunction against the FTC's administrative proceeding.
