Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Kevin Vukson v. TigerDirect, Inc., OnRebate.com Inc. and Systemax Inc.
On October 18, 2007, Kevin Vukson filed a class action complaint in U.S. District Court (E.D.N.Y.)
against TigerDirect, Inc., OnRebate.com Inc. and Systemax Inc. on behalf of himself and all OnRebate
customers whose rebates were denied or delayed . (OnRebate.com Inc. is a rebate processing company
owned by Systemax.) Vukson’s Complaint alleges that since 2004 Systemax, TigerDirect and OnRebate
have conducted a deceptive and unlawful enterprise by failing to pay rebates that should have been paid
and delaying unnecessarily the payment of other rebates that were paid. Vukson alleges claims arising
under Florida’s Unfair, Deceptive Trade Practice Act, the federal RICO statute, along with claims for
breach of contract, conspiracy to commit fraud and unjust enrichment. Systemax, TigerDirect and
OnRebate have moved to dismiss the Complaint and to transfer the matter to the Southern District of
Florida. The Court has not yet ruled on these motions and has not yet certified a class. The Company
intends to vigorously defend this case.
State of Florida, Office of the Attorney General Subpoena
On January 2, 2008 the Company received a subpoena for documents from the Florida Attorney General’s
Office relating to the payment and processing of rebates by the Company. On January 30, 2008 the
Company received a second subpoena for additional documents. The Company is cooperating with the
Florida Attorney General’s Office to provide the requested documents.
