The Company’s Verona, Missouri facility, while held by a prior owner, was designated by the EPA as a Superfund site and placed on the National Priorities List in 1983 because of dioxin contamination on portions of the site. Remediation was conducted by the prior owner under the oversight of the EPA and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The Company is indemnified by the sellers under its May 2001 asset purchase agreement covering its acquisition of the Verona, Missouri facility for certain potential liabilities associated with the Superfund site. In February 2022, BCP Ingredients, Inc. ("BCP"), the Company subsidiary that operates the site, along with the prior owner of the site received a Special Notice Letter from EPA for the performance of a focused remedial investigation/feasibility study ("RI/FS") at the site with regard to the presence of certain contaminants at the site, focusing primarily on the presence of 1,4 dioxane and chlorobenzene. BCP and the site's prior owner are currently negotiating with the EPA and the State of Missouri with respect to a proposed Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent that defines the scope and performance of the focused RI/FS.
From time to time, the Company is a party to various litigation, claims and assessments.  Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
