Our corporate offices in Boca Raton, Florida consist of approximately 625,000 square feet of office space. We
also lease a corporate office in Venlo, the Netherlands which is approximately 210,000 square feet and we lease
other administrative offices. Each of our facilities is considered to be in good condition, adequate for its purpose
and suitably utilized according to the individual nature and requirements of the relevant operations.
Although we own a small number of our retail store locations, most of our facilities are leased or subleased.

be maintainable as class action suits), we do not believe that contingent liabilities related to these matters
(including the matters discussed below), either individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect our
financial position, results of our operations or cash flows.
On April 6, 2011, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the company and certain current and former
executive officers alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and seeking damages, fees, costs
