United States (“U.S.”) Government Inquiry and Investigation
In July and August 2026, the Company and certain of its employees and members of the Board received subpoenas and inquiries from the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) requesting information relating to the Company’s business and agreements with certain counterparties. The Company has also received voluntary requests for information from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for information substantially similar to that sought by the DOJ. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ and SEC in responding to their requests for information. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigations or whether they will have any impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.
Class Action Complaint Filed September 17, 2026
On September 17, 2026, a class action complaint was filed against the Company, certain current and former officers and directors of the Company, and the underwriters of the Company's May 2026 public offering in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Alyahya v. Blaize Holdings, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:26-cv-10609. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false and misleading statements or omissions regarding the Company's contracts with Starshine and
NeoTensr. The complaint asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock between July 17, 2025 and August 13, 2026, inclusive, and causes of action under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased the Company's common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's May 2026 public offering. The complaint seeks an order certifying the class; awarding compensatory damages, rescission or rescissory damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ and expert fees; and granting other unspecified relief. The case is at a preliminary stage. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the foregoing events and cannot make a reasonable estimate of any outcome, recovery, or loss at this time.
