Item 8.01. Other Events.
     On August 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware entitled Automated Transactions LLC v. IYG Holding Co., et al., but as of the filing of this Current Report we have not been served. The lawsuit names our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardtronics USA, Inc., as one of the defendants. The lawsuit alleges that we and the other defendants have infringed on certain of the plaintiff’s patents by providing retail transactions to consumers through our automated teller machines. The allegations raised by the plaintiff in this suit appear to be similar to the allegations made in a suit filed in 2006. Our supplier in that case agreed to indemnify us against the plaintiff’s claims.
     The plaintiff is seeking a permanent injunction, damages, treble damages and costs, including attorney’s fees and expenses. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the plaintiff’s claims and we further believe that we are entitled to indemnification from our suppliers under statutory law. While we intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, we cannot currently predict the outcome of this lawsuit, nor can we predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve the lawsuit. An unfavorable resolution of this litigation could adversely impact our financial position and results of operation.
