In the initial trial in October, Dinoco lost a $$121$ million lawsuit resulting from a dispute with a supplier. Although Dinoco feels it is probable it will have to pay the full amount, the case is under appeal at the end of the year. Dinoco does not expect the case to have a material adverse effect on the company.

In November $2023,$ the state of Texas filed suit against Dinoco, seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief for violations of environmental laws regulating hazardous waste. On January $12,2025,$ Dinoco reached a settlement with state authorities. Based upon discussions with legal counsel, it is probable that Dinoco will require $$141$ million to cover the cost of violations.
