Litigation Settlement and Supplemental Operating Information

Litigation Settlement

During fourth quarter 2011, we recorded a pretax charge of $2,900 in connection with the proposed litigation Settlement Agreement, which was subject to final approval, related to the purported class-action suit filed in the State of California in and for the County of Alameda concerning off-duty meal periods and the required content of paycheck stubs. The Settlement Agreement required court approval of its terms. The Court, in April 2012, granted preliminary approval and granted final approval of the Settlement Agreement in August 2012. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid $2,900 during August 2012 that was previously recorded in the fourth quarter 2011. See Note U, “Commitment and Contingencies.”
