Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We have been named as a defendant in two putative class actions that were filed on behalf of purported
classes of persons who claim to have received unsolicited “robocalls” in contravention of the U.S. Telephone
Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). These lawsuits were brought by plaintiffs seeking class action status and
monetary damages on behalf of all plaintiffs who allegedly received such unsolicited calls, claiming that millions
of calls were made by third party entities on our behalf. We assert that such entities were not retained by us nor
authorized to make calls on our behalf. These matters have been consolidated in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois into one civil action. We have entered into a preliminary agreement to settle
this litigation, and are in the process of preparing definitive settlement documentation. We have increased our
legal reserves by $15 million to reflect this development. The settlement is subject to the completion of
satisfactory settlement documentation and approval of the District Court.
In addition, we are subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business, including
from time to time contractual disputes, product and general liability claims, claims that we have infringed the
intellectual property rights of others, claims related to alleged security system failures and consumer class
actions. We have recorded accruals for losses that we believe are probable to occur and are reasonably estimable.
See Note 7 to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for further information. While the ultimate
outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not Applicable.
