In fiscal 2013, the Company announced that it had suspended the payment of its regular quarterly dividend. With the
amendment in fiscal 2015 to the binding term sheet the Company had entered into with the Pension Benefit Guarantee
Corporation in connection with the NAI Banner Sale, the Company is no longer restricted by that term sheet from paying
dividends; however, the Company has no current intent to resume paying dividends and any such payments are subject to
limitations under the Company's credit facilities as discussed in Note 7—Long-Term Debt in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

(1) The reported periods conform to the Company’s fiscal calendar composed of thirteen 28-day periods, except for the
thirteenth period of fiscal 2015 that includes 35 days due to fiscal 2015 having 53 weeks rather than 52 weeks. The fourth
quarter of fiscal 2015 contains two 28-day periods and one 35-day period.
(2) These amounts represent the deemed surrender by participants in the Company’s compensatory stock plans of 9,514 shares
of previously issued common stock. These amounts are in payment of the purchase price for shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of stock options and satisfaction of tax obligations arising from such exercises, as well as from the vesting of
restricted stock awards granted under such plans.
