Item 3. Legal Proceedings
General litigation — On March 2, 2012, a putative employment class action lawsuit was filed against us and
certain unnamed defendants in state court in Los Angeles County, California. On April 12, 2012, the Company
removed the case to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiff and
members of the proposed class are alleged to be (or to have been) non-exempt hourly employees. The suit alleges
that Ulta violated various provisions of the California labor laws and failed to provide plaintiff and members of
the proposed class with full meal periods, paid rest breaks, certain wages, overtime compensation and premium
pay. The suit seeks to recover damages and penalties as a result of these alleged practices. The Company denies
plaintiff’s allegations and is vigorously defending the matter.
We are also involved in various legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our business. In the
opinion of management, the amount of any liability with respect to these proceedings, either individually or in
the aggregate, will not be material.
