From time to time, the Company is involved in actions, claims, suits, and other proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including assertions by third parties relating to intellectual property infringement, breaches of contract or warranties, or employment-related matters. When it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability for such loss contingencies. The Company’s estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on the Company’s judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although the Company will continue to reassess its reserves and estimates based on future developments, the Company’s objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from the Company’s current estimates.

On March 7, 2024, a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against InterPrivate Acquisition Management LLC, InterPrivate LLC, and former directors and officers of IPV. The lawsuit was captioned Louis Smith v. Ahmed M. Fattouh, et al., No. 2024-0221 (Del. Ch.), and later as No. 1:24-cv-00484 (D. Del.) following its removal to federal court. On June 3, 2024, a second putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against IPV and Soroush Salehian and Mina Rezk (collectively, the “Delaware Stockholder Litigation”). The lawsuit is captioned Todd Katz v. Ahmed M. Fattouh et al., No. 2024-0598 (Del. Ch.). Among other remedies, the complaints seek damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. In connection with the Business Combination, the Company agreed to assume certain indemnification obligations to IPV’s former directors and officers.

On July 2, 2024, Aeva and the parties to the Delaware Stockholder Litigation entered into a term sheet, and on December 6, 2024 entered into a formal settlement agreement where the Company agreed to pay a total settlement cost of $14.0 million in exchange for a release of all claims. The settlement was paid pursuant to our indemnification obligations and from available director and officer insurance policies. On September 12, 2025, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued a final order approving the terms and conditions set forth in the settlement agreement.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has paid in full the $14.0 million of accrued liability in connection with the settlement of the Delaware Stockholder Litigation. The Company has also recovered $2.5 million from an insurance carrier.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of FASB ASC Guarantees (Topic 460), except for standard indemnification provisions that are contained within many of the Company’s customer agreements and give rise only to disclosure requirements prescribed by Topic 460. Indemnification provisions contained within the Company’s customer agreements are generally consistent with those prevalent in the Company’s industry. The Company has not incurred any obligations under customer indemnification provisions and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification obligations.
