Litigation Summary
ProColor Collision USA LLC itself has no litigation required to be disclosed in Item 3. However, its parent company, Mondofix, has been involved in two legal matters concerning the Fix Auto system. One was an arbitration proceeding in August 2017 initiated by 79411 USA Inc. challenging Mondofix's non-renewal of a license agreement for Fix Auto franchises in the U.S., which was resolved in January 2020 with the license agreement being renewed. The second was a proceeding commenced in December 2020 in Ireland by Automotive Aftermarket Franchises Limited against Mondofix, related to the termination of certain agreements. This case was settled in October 2021, with Mondofix agreeing to not pursue outstanding amounts and the plaintiff discontinuing the action.

Territory Size Requirements
ProColor Collision USA LLC designates a territory around each approved location, described in the Franchise Agreement. While there is no minimum size, the territory is determined using mapping software based on potential service capacity in specific zip codes or partial zip codes. Typically, the territory is sized to allow a franchisee to process 25% of the available collision repair spend within those zip codes.
Staffing Notes
ProColor Collision Centers must be directly supervised on-premises by an Operator who dedicates full-time effort to the business. The franchisee or a majority owner can serve as this Operator. Additionally, each ProColor Collision Center requires other staff to serve customers. Franchisees or their Operators are responsible for training all staff and certifying their training before they begin performing services.
