DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Part III incorporates certain information by reference from the Registrant’s Definitive Proxy Statement to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Regulation 14A in connection
with the Registrant’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 18, 2010.
Such Definitive Proxy Statement will be filed with the Commission not later than 120 days after the conclusion
of the Registrant’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Important Notice to Investors: Statements made in this report that relate to future plans, events, liquidity,
financial results or performance including statements relating to future cash flows and liquidity, the funding of
future operations, as well as estimated unrecognized stock compensation expense, projected capital expenditures,
future contractual obligations, improvements in future economic conditions, financial results and foreign
currency rates, as well as the ability to manage costs or invest in future initiatives are forward-looking
statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based
upon current information and expectations. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated if the
information on which those estimates was based ultimately proves to be incorrect or as a result of certain risks
and uncertainties, including changes in foreign currency rates, consumer acceptance and demand for the
Company’s products, future consumer discretionary purchasing activity (which can be significantly adversely
affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions), delays, difficulties, changed strategies, or unanticipated
factors including those affecting the implementation of the Company’s gross margin initiatives, as well as the
general risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company and its business. For details concerning these and
other risks and uncertainties, see Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” contained in this report, as well as the
Company’s other reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K subsequently filed with the Commission from time to time.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events. Investors should also be aware that while the Company from time to time does communicate with
securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or
other confidential commercial information. Furthermore, the Company has a policy against distributing or
confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by analysts and any reports issued by such analysts are not
the responsibility of the Company. Investors should not assume that the Company agrees with any report issued
by any analyst or with any statements, projections, forecasts or opinions contained in any such report.
