Inc.
(the
“Company”)
issued
a
press
release
announcing
that the
Company
reached
an
agreement
with the U.S. Department
of Justice (“DOJ”)
and seventeen
states’
attorneys general
to resolve alleged antitrust
claims
against the
Company, subject
to applicable
court approvals and procedures.
The agreement follows
a fifteen-month investigation
by the
DOJ that
centered
broadly on
whether
there was a
violation
of antitrust
laws through
alleged anticompetitive
conduct
by
and
among
egg producers.
The
agreement
does not
admit
wrongdoing
or violations
of law by
the
Company
and the
Company
was
not assessed
any
fines
or penalties.
Under the
terms
of the
agreement,
the Company
agreed
to implement
certain
antitrust
compliance
and reporting measures,
donate
30 million
eggs, and pay
a total of $1.5
million to such
states to resolve
the matter. A
copy
of the Company’s
press release is attached
hereto as Exhibit
99.1.
