Legal Matters and Contingencies
Litigation
In 2012, certain stockholders of the Company filed putative class action lawsuits against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The lawsuits allege, among other things, that the Company's directors and officers breached their fiduciary duties to the stockholders and, as a result, unjustly enriched the Company and the individual defendants. The lawsuits further allege that the breaches of fiduciary duty led certain stockholders to acquire additional stock and caused the stockholders to suffer a loss in share value, all measured in some manner by reference to the Company's 2012 offering price when it listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange. The lawsuits seek unspecified damages and other relief. Based on its initial review of the complaints, the Company believes the lawsuits to be without merit and intends to defend the actions vigorously. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcomes of these matters will not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
