Notice of repayment of pandemic related government subsidies - In response to widespread health crises, epidemics and pandemics, certain of our entities based in foreign jurisdictions, received governmental funding assistance to compensate for a portion of employee wages between March 2020 and March 2022. Following ongoing compliance reviews of these funding assistance programs, we received notices stating noncompliance with the requirements of these funding assistance programs. Accordingly, based on the assessments completed by the government appointed administrative authority, we have accrued $5.5 million, to be repaid over an extended period, as of December 31, 2023. We believe there are grounds for appeal and intend to challenge the decisions passed by the administrative authority to repay the funds through appropriate legal means. Accordingly, for all matters discussed above, we have accrued in the aggregate approximately $45.1 million as of December 31, 2023, of which approximately $6.1 million is not covered by our various insurance policies. In addition to legal matters discussed above, we are subject to various lawsuits, claims and proceedings encountered in the normal conduct of business ("Other Proceedingsā€). We believe that based on our current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel that the Other Proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. 65
