The court gave its final approval to the class settlement on October 27, 2006. Under the terms of the settlement, Snap-on agreed to make payments to claimants and class counsel, plus incur certain other costs and expenses. Snap-on recorded a $38.0 million pretax charge in the second quarter of 2006 representing its best estimate to settle these legal matters.

Disclosed Litigation. In 1995, the Borrower acquired the Kolynos oral care business from American Home Products, as described in the Borrower’s Form 8-K dated January 10, 1995. On September 8, 1998, the Borrower’s Brazilian subsidiary received notice of an administrative proceeding from the Central Bank of Brazil primarily taking issue with certain foreign exchange filings made with the Central Bank in connection with the financing of this strategic transaction, but in no way challenging or seeking to unwind the acquisition. The Central Bank of Brazil in January 2001 notified the Borrower of its decision in the administrative proceeding to impose a fine, which, at exchange rates in effect in March 2002, approximated $110 million. The Borrower has appealed the decision to the Brazilian Monetary System Appeals Council (the “Council”), thereby suspending the fine pending the decision of the Council. If the fine is affirmed, interest and penalties may also be assessed. Further appeals are available within the Brazilian federal courts. Management of the Borrower believes, based on the opinion of its Brazilian legal counsel and other experts, that the filings challenged by the Central Bank fully complied with Brazilian law and that the Borrower will prevail on appeal. The Borrower intends to challenge this fine vigorously. In addition, in the course of monitoring the Central Bank proceeding, the Borrower learned that Brazilian prosecutors are reviewing the foregoing transactions as part of an overall examination of all international transfers of Reals through non-resident current accounts during the 1992 to 1998 time frame. The Borrower understands that this examination involves hundreds and possibly thousands of other individuals and companies. In addition, the Brazilian revenue authority has disallowed interest deductions and foreign exchange losses taken by the Borrower’s Brazilian subsidiary in connection with the financing of the Kolynos acquisition, imposing a tax assessment which has been determined, at the exchange rates in effect in March 2002, to approximate $40 million. The Borrower has filed an administrative appeal with the Brazilian internal revenue authority, and further appeals are available within the Brazilian federal courts. Management of the Borrower believes, based on the opinion of its Brazilian legal counsel and other experts, that the disallowance is without merit and that the Borrower will prevail on appeal. The Borrower intends to challenge this assessment v...
Disclosed Litigation. While not giving an opinion as to whether any item is “reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,” we hereby disclose the litigation matters as stated in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, as follows: We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in accord with environmental and safety laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future. With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually or jointly with other potentially responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our accruals. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory ap...

Disclosed Litigation. Environmental Litigation. Corning has been named by the Environmental Protection Agency (the Agency) under the Superfund Act or by state governments under similar state laws, as a potentially responsible party for 17 active hazardous waste sites. Under the Superfund Act, all parties who may have contributed any waste to a hazardous waste site, identified by the Agency, are jointly and severally liable for the cost of cleanup unless the Agency agrees otherwise. It is Corning’s policy to accrue for its estimated liability related to Superfund sites and other environmental liabilities related to property owned by Corning based on expert analysis and continual monitoring by both internal and external consultants. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, Corning had accrued approximately $21 million (undiscounted) and $25 million (undiscounted), respectively, for the estimated liability for environmental cleanup and related litigation. Based upon the information developed to date, management believes that the accrued reserve is a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability and that the risk of an additional loss in an amount materially higher than that accrued is remote.
