I ��rracon Litigation Statement Terracon is a large engineering firm specializing primarily in geotechnical, environmental, and construction materials testing and we perform tens of thousands of projects nationwide. Given the large volume of projects we perform annually, we are subject to periodic claims and litigation. The number of claims received annually is a very small percentage of the overall number of projects performed, well less than 0.5% of the total. As a large firm performing many projects, on very rare occasions we have terminated services on our projects prior to project completion. These situations usually arise from a failure to pay for those services, or from decisions to reduce our scope of service to the point where we are no longer comfortable, from a professional perspective, with the continuation of our services on a project. Again, we would stress that we perform several thousand projects annually and these situations arise very rarely and only after thorough efforts to reasonably resolve these issues. Terracon carries a robust program of insurance to protect us and our clients when applicable against claims arising out of our services. The majority of our reported claims are not ultimately pursued against Terracon. In the claims that are pursued, Terracon has been very successful in defending itself against claims and in many of these cases, has been able to be completely vindicated. None of our claims have in the past impacted or are estimated in the future to impact either the financial strength of our company or the ability to provide quality services to our clients. Due to the confidentiality and sensitivity of claim information, Terracon does not provide specific information on individual claims or litigation. If you have any specific questions or concerns about this disclosure, feel free to contact us to discuss further. Legal Contact: Aaron Mann Senior Attorney (913) 774-1090 -236-
