Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a
loss or an additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not
appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of the possible loss or range of
possible loss can be made.

possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in various stages; (ii)
damages have not been sought; (iii) damages are unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the
