The company filed counterclaims in October 2024 alleging breach of contract and various misrepresentations and says it will vigorously prosecute those claims.
An interim arbitration award dated September 15, 2025 found the company had a valid basis to terminate the agreement; details of that award remain confidential and a final award has not been issued. The manufacturer requested to re-open the hearing on September 25, 2025, and the company opposed that request on September 29, 2025.
