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. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend the case vigorously. We filed a motion to dismiss on May 4, 2015.

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, we currently do not expect that any such legal claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.
