Contract analysis

1. No claim has been made against the Bond by any defendant or any other party since the Bond was issued on March 7, 2025.

2. To CRH's knowledge, after consultation with counsel, no defendant or other party intends to assert, or has threatened to assert, any claim against the Bond.

3. The Settlement Agreement executed today by all parties to the Action contains mutual general releases that encompass any claims that any defendant could have asserted against the Bond.

4. Upon entry of the Consent Order by Vice Chancellor Zhao, the TRO will be dissolved and vacated in its entirety, and the underlying obligation secured by the Bond—namely, the potential liability of CRH for damages sustained by the defendants as a result of the issuance of the TRO—will be extinguished.

5. There is no remaining legal or factual basis for the Bond to remain in force, and its continued maintenance would impose unnecessary cost and administrative burden on CRH as principal. Accordingly, we respectfully request that Broadview process this discharge request and take all steps within its control to effect the formal cancellation and termination of the Bond at the earliest practicable date following entry
