Litigation
In November 2022, a class action complaint was filed against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (“the Court”), captioned Sandra Waswick v. Torrid Holdings Inc., et al. An amended complaint was filed in May 2023. The amended complaint alleges that certain statements in our registration statement on Form S-1 related to our IPO and in subsequent SEC filings and earnings calls were allegedly false and misleading. On August 7, 2024, the Court entered an order granting defendant’s motion to dismiss with prejudice. Two shareholder derivative complaints were filed in September and October 2023 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against us (as a nominal defendant) and certain officers and directors, captioned Allegra Morgado v. Lisa Harper, et al. and Nicole Long v. Lisa Harper, et al. The derivative complaints similarly allege that certain statements were allegedly false and misleading and that the individual defendants breached their
fiduciary duties. The derivative cases have been consolidated and stayed, pending further developments in the securities class action. We believe that these allegations are without merit and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

In April 2024, a class action complaint was filed in the Court captioned Crystal Jillson and Carmen Perez v. Torrid LLC. The complaint alleges misleading and unlawful pricing, sales, and discounting practices on our website under multiple legal theories including violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law, California False Advertising Law and California Consumer Legal Remedies Act. We are currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. We intend to defend ourselves against the complaint vigorously.
From time to time, we are involved in other matters of litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. Though significant litigation or awards against us could seriously harm our business and financial results, we do not at this time expect these other matters of litigation to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees
During the ordinary course of business, we have made certain other indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include those given to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease and indemnities to our Board of Directors ("Board") and officers to the maximum extent permitted. Commitments include those given to various merchandise vendors and suppliers. From time to time, we have issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit as security for workers’ compensation claims (our letters of credit are discussed in more detail in “Note 12—Debt Financing Arrangements”). The durations of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees vary. Some of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as no demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
