Western Asset Management Investigations.

On November 25, 2024, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Mr. Leech alleging violations of certain laws related to trade allocations. Concurrently, the DOJ filed an indictment with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Mr. Leech for similar allegations and for false statements made to the SEC. The Company and WAM have fully cooperated, and will continue to fully cooperate with these investigations. Blockchain Litigation.
