Under the Company’s Related Person Transaction Policy (the “Related Person Transaction Policy”), subject to certain exceptions, directors and executive officers of the Company are required to notify the Company of the existence or potential existence of any financial or commercial transaction, agreement or relationship involving the Company in which a director or executive officer or his or her immediate family members has a direct or indirect material interest.

The New Albany Company (“NACO”), a business beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wexner, is in the business of developing real estate, including industrial parks, and has sold land (and may in the future sell land) to certain vendors or third party developers in connection with the continuing development of an industrial park focused on the foregoing business categories (the “Beauty Park”) in New Albany, Ohio. This matter was evaluated by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which concluded that the underlying transactions were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders generally. The Audit Committee continues to monitor such vendor and third party transactions on an ongoing basis. In light of the Company’s highly favorable experience with vendors at the Beauty Park and our growth plans for the beauty, personal care and home fragrance businesses, it was determined that new Company facilities required to achieve such projected growth should also be located as close as possible to the Beauty Park. The Company identified certain land owned by NACO that, together with certain other adjacent parcels owned by a number of third parties, constituted sufficient acreage in immediate proximity to the Beauty Park that would be suitable for this purpose. After review in accordance with our Related Person Transaction Policy, with advice from independent counsel and real estate appraisers and advisors, the Audit Committee, as well as all of the members of Board of Directors who are not affiliated with the Wexners, determined that the purchase of the NACO land for approximately $21 million, and the assumption from NACO of contracts to purchase the adjacent parcels directly from third parties for approximately $7 million, were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders generally. This determination was made in reliance on, among other things, an opinion received from an independent financial advisor with specialized expertise in commercial real estate that such transaction was fair to the Company from a financial point of view.
