Item 5. Other Events.
A purported class action was filed against the Company on
July 19, 1995 in the Federal District Court for the Middle
District of Florida, Tampa Division, Case No. 95-1162-Civ-T by
Melodee Shores and seven other present or former employees of the
Company, individually and on behalf of all other persons
similarly situated. In their Complaint, the plaintiffs allege
that the Company has and is currently engaged in a policy and
pattern or practice of gender-based discriminatory treatment of
female employees and applicants with respect to job assignments,
promotional opportunities, management positions, equal pay, full-
time status, bonuses, and other benefits and conditions of
employment, all in violation of Title VII of the federal Civil
Rights Act, as well as the Florida Human Rights Act of 1977 and
the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992. The plaintiffs seek, among
other relief, a certification of the suit as a proper class
action, a declaratory judgment that the Company's practices are
unlawful, back pay and other compensatory damages, exemplary and
punitive damages, and injunctive relief against future improper
conduct.
The Company denies the allegations of the Complaint and
intends to vigorously defend the action.
