Item 5. Other Events. |
|
| Formica Corporation and other manufacturers of high-pressure laminate ("HPL") have recently been named as defendants in purported class action complaints filed in the United States District Courts for the District of New Jersey and the Southern District of New York, and in the Superior Court of California, Alameda and Marin Counties. The complaints, which all make similar allegations, allege that Formica and other HPL manufacturers in the United States have engaged in a contract, combination or conspiracy in restraint of trade in violation of state and federal antitrust laws and seek damages of an unspecified amount. The actions are in their earliest stages. Formica Corporation intends to vigorously defend against the allegations of the complaints. | |
