Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies The Company, two of its former executive officers, three of its outside directors, two of its former directors, and certain companies affiliated with the directors, are defendants in a consolidated class action brought under the federal securities laws and now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota under the caption Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund, et al. v. Tile Shop Holdings, Inc., et al. Several related actions were filed in 2013 and subsequently consolidated. The plaintiffs are three investors who represent classes consisting of (1) all purchasers of Tile Shop common stock between August 22, 2012 and January 28, 2014 (the “class period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (2) all purchasers of Tile Shop common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s December 2012 registration statement, seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Act of 1933. Six firms who were underwriters in the December 2012 secondary public offering are also named as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose certain related party transactions in the Company’s SEC filings and press releases. The plaintiffs assert claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, and under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, the plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of class members. Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (“Stipulation”) dated January 13, 2017 to settle all claims. Pursuant to the Stipulation, $9.5 million was paid on behalf of all defendants. The Company has agreed to pay $5.0 million of that amount and the insurance company providing coverage for the initial tier of the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy has agreed to pay $4.5 million of that amount. The Company and the insurance provider subsequently deposited money into an escrow account that had been established to hold the settlement fund. The settlement is subject to court approval. The court has scheduled a hearing on whether to grant final approval of the settlement for May 3, 2017. The Company also is a nominal defendant in three actions brought derivatively on behalf of the Company by three shareholders in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware. Two of the actions were filed in 2015 and then consolidated (the “Consolidated Actions”). On July 31, 2015, the plaintiff-shareholders in the Consolidated Actions filed a consolidated complaint. The consolidated complaint names as defendants four current members of the Company’s Board of Directors, two of its former directors, and a former employee of the Company. The third action (the “Third Action”) was filed on or about September 28, 2016 against seven members of the Company’s Board of Directors, a former officer, and a former employee. All of the complaints track many of the same factual allegations as have been made in the above-described federal securities class action. They allege that the defendant-directors and/or officer breached their fiduciary duties by failing to adopt adequate internal controls for the Company, by approving false and misleading statements issued by the Company, by causing the Company to violate generally accepted accounting principles and SEC regulations, by engaging in or approving alleged insider trading, and by permitting the Company’s primary product to contain illegal amounts of lead. The complaints also allege claims for insider trading and/or unjust enrichment. The complaints seek damages, disgorgement, an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses, and an order compelling changes to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures. In 2015, the defendants moved to dismiss the Consolidated Actions, or in the alternative, to stay the Consolidated Actions pending resolution of the Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund action described above. Subsequently, upon agreement of the parties, the court entered an order staying the Consolidated Actions. Recently the Company moved to dismiss the newly-filed Third Action, or in the alternative, to stay the Third Action until resolution of the Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund action described above, or until the Company’s Board of Directors takes action on the demand described below. That motion has not yet been decided. By letter dated May 19, 2016, a shareholder of the Company, through his attorney and prior to filing the Third Action, demanded that the Board of Directors investigate alleged breaches of fiduciary duty related to the same matters described above, and take action against certain present and former officers and directors of the Company. The Board of Directors has appointed a committee of two independent directors to investigate and evaluate the matters raised in the demand letter, and to recommend to the Company’s Board of Directors what actions, if any should be taken by the Company with respect to the matters raised in the demand letter. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the current stage of the derivative actions, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance policies that may reduce the Company’s exposure, if any. In the event the Company incurs a loss, the Company will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under these policies. The Company is also, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
