## Litigation and enforcement

### Wanaco litigation included a dismissal and a later criminal complaint [zeff_reeves_wanaco]

2021–2026; later case outcomes unverified · alleged · high materiality

Tesoro reported dismissal of the initial Wanaco civil case in August 2025; its June 2026 half-year report states Wanaco appealed and ancillary proceedings remained. Separately, a September 2025 news report says a criminal complaint named Reeves and Uribe and reproduces a law-firm denial. The underlying complaint, any individual response and final case outcomes were not obtained.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. News reporting names this person in a complaint; allegations are not findings. The civil dismissal does not resolve the separate criminal complaint.

**Relevance:** Material governance and legal exposure in the executive’s Chilean project and partner relations; distinguish the first-instance civil win from unresolved appeals/ancillary cases and the separate criminal complaint.

## Suitability for the current role

### Role fit and evidence limits [zeffron_reeves_role_fit]

Assessment at cutoff 2026-10-31 · analyst inference · medium materiality

The issuer-reported career has potential relevance to the current role; prior outcomes and individual contribution need independent verification.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is an analytical inference from the cited career profile and the company’s stated stage; it does not claim personal causation of company outcomes.

**Relevance:** Connects prior experience to the role’s execution and oversight needs.

## Evidence gaps

- This is partial screening; independent career, qualifications, former-employer, legal, safety, fraud, environmental and governance checks remain incomplete.

- Exact role dates and cutoff continuity need dated corroboration.

- The original criminal complaint, response by named individuals and final criminal/civil outcomes remain unverified.
