Item 5. Other Events.

decision orders the Company to cease telling manufacturers that the
Company reserves the right not to purchase items those manufacturers
sell to warehouse clubs. The FTC has not sought any monetary damages.
The Company intends to appeal the FTC's action in the U.S. Court of
Appeals.
