Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 3, 2006, a purported class action lawsuit entitled Nicole Atkins, et al. v. PC Mall, Inc., et al. was filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County. The matter was thereafter submitted to arbitration before JAMS. The potential class consisted of all of current and former outbound account executives who worked for our PC Mall Sales subsidiary in California from February 3, 2002 through January 31, 2007. The lawsuit alleged that we improperly classified class members as “exempt” employees in violation of California’s wage and hour laws and that we failed to provide employees with meal and rest breaks. It asserted that these practices violated various provisions of the California Labor Code and constituted and unfair business practices. The Complaint sought unpaid overtime, statutory penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees, punitive damages, restitution and injunctive relief.

 

On January 31, 2007, we entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) to settle the class action lawsuit. Under the MOU, we agreed to pay an aggregate of $1.5 million, which includes amounts to pay class members (shared proportionally among class members based on the number of verified class members and the amount of time employed during the class period), the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs, enhanced payments for class representatives, and all funds needed for the administration of the settlement. We have the right to nullify the settlement in the event that 5% or more of the class members have opted out of the settlement. In exchange for the settlement payment, the plaintiff and all class members who do not opt out of the settlement will release us and our affiliates for all asserted and unasserted claims, known and unknown, relating to the class action. As part of the settlement, we continue to deny any liability or wrongdoing with respect to the claims made in the class action. While the settlement is subject to court or arbitrator approval, the MOU provides that it is intended to be binding and enforceable upon each the parties. If the settlement is approved by the court or arbitrator, there will be a resulting judgment that dismisses the case with prejudice against all class members who do not opt out of the settlement.
