On October 7, 2014, a putative class action lawsuit alleging violations of federal securities laws was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, naming as defendants the Company and certain of its executive officers. An amended complaint was filed on February 17, 2015. The amended complaint alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934 by the Company and its executive officers for making allegedly materially false and misleading statements and by failing to disclose allegedly material facts regarding its business and operations between June 7, 2013 and September 29, 2014. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously. The Company has until April 27, 2015 to file a motion to dismiss.

In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in legal claims and proceedings that arise in the normal course of its business. Although the results of these legal claims and proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently does not expect that any such legal claims or proceedings will  have a material adverse effect on its cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
