Legal Proceedings

On December 16, 2011, an employee of our wholly owned subsidiary PRGX USA, Inc., filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (Civil Action No. 0:11-CV-03631-PJS-FLN) alleging that PRGX USA, Inc. failed to pay overtime wages to the Plaintiff and other similarly situated individuals as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In this collective action, the Plaintiff is seeking an unspecified amount of monetary damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees. We filed an Answer denying all of the asserted claims on January 31, 2012, and the parties then conducted limited discovery. The opt-in period for the case closed with 15 plaintiffs joining the case. In August 2012, the parties reached an agreement to settle the case for $135,000, which includes the plaintiffs’ attorney fees, and all of the plaintiffs have approved the settlement. The settlement remains subject to court approval and a hearing is scheduled for November 19, 2012.

In addition, we are party to a variety of other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. While the results of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
