COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced with allegations of purported class-wide consumer and wage and hour violations. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the outcome of these matters cannot presently be determined. Although the actions are being vigorously defended, the Company could in the future incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations in any particular period.

In addition, the Company was a nominal defendant, and nine current and former directors and officers of the Company were named defendants, in a shareholder derivative action in Minnesota state court. The derivative shareholder action alleged that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with their approval of certain executive compensation arrangements and certain related party transactions. The Board of Directors appointed a Special Litigation Committee to investigate the claims and allegations made in the derivative action, and to decide on behalf of the Company whether the claims and allegations should be pursued. In April 2014, the Special Litigation Committee issued a report and concluded the claims and allegations should not be pursued, and in September 2014 the case was dismissed by court order. In a collateral proceeding, the plaintiff filed a motion for an award of fees in November 2014. In September 2015, the court denied the plaintiff's motion for an award of fees. The plaintiff had 60 days to appeal the court's decision. This matter is now concluded.

See Note 5 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion regarding the status of certain issues that have resulted from the IRS' audits. In addition, the Company is currently under payroll tax examination by the IRS for calendar years 2012 through 2014.
