Toppoint Holdings Inc. Commitments Disclosure
NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Costs and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm business. Management is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results besides the litigation listed below.
| (1) | Trend Intermodal Chassis Leasing LLC (“Trend”) filed a lawsuit against Toppoint Inc. in the Superior Court of New Jersey on August 16, 2024, alleging breach of contract under a Master Equipment Lease Agreement and Lease for intermodal chassis and GPS units. Trend claimed that Toppoint failed to make timely rental payments and return the leased equipment, despite repeated demands. Trend sought at least $124,500 in damages, plus interest and attorneys’ fees. On April 3, 2025, Trend and Toppoint entered into a Settlement Agreement to resolve the lawsuit. Toppoint agreed to a consent judgment of $222,540 but would only face enforcement if it failed to make scheduled payments totaling $150,000 and return all leased chassis and GPS units by April 11, 2025. Toppoint made an initial $30,000 payment and six monthly payments of $20,000. For any equipment not returned by the deadline, Toppoint would pay $15,000 per chassis and $500 per GPS unit. As of December 31, 2025, Toppoint has fulfilled all agreed upon terms and $150,000 has been paid by the Company and liability is outstanding. |
| (2) | On January 12, 2024, two drivers, Rainey Mejia Rodriguez and Frank Santana Rodriguez (the “plaintiffs”), filed a class action lawsuit against Toppoint Inc, and certain other parties, including Hok C. Chan, in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Essex County, alleging misclassification of truck drivers as independent contractors rather than employees. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly situated individuals who provided services in New Jersey from January 2018 through the date of the complaint. The complaint asserted violations of the New Jersey Wage Payment Law and the New Jersey Wage and Hour Law, including claims of unlawful wage deductions and failure to pay overtime. The plaintiffs sought compensatory damages, treble and/or liquidated damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive relief, without specifying a dollar amount of damages. On July 27, 2024, August 26, 2024, and November 22, 2024, the Court issued multiple orders dismissing the case for lack of prosecution. Upon a motion to reinstate the case filed on January 15, 2025 by the plaintiffs, the Court reinstated the case on January 31, 2025. On May 1, 2025, Toppoint Inc filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, and a motion hearing was held on July 3, 2025. On June 6, 2025, the court dismissed the case without prejudice against Mr. Hok C. Chan for lack of prosecution. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intend to continue to vigorously defend against them. The Company does not believe there is a probable and estimable loss as of December 31, 2025. |

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
