We discovered in January 2014 that malicious software (malware) was clandestinely installed on our computer systems. In fiscal year 2015 and the
thirty-nine weeks ended August 2, 2014, we incurred investigative, legal and other expenses in connection with a cyber-attack. We expect to incur ongoing
costs related to the cyber-attack for the foreseeable future. Such expenses are not currently estimable but could be material to our future results of operations.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, we sold our prior investment in an Asian e-commerce retailer, which was previously accounted for under the
equity method, for $35.0 million, which amount equaled the carrying value of our investment.
