Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
On December 21, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Indiana in the lawsuit entitled United States and the State
of Indiana v. Anderson Products Inc., et al, Civil Action No. 15-613.

Industries; Elkhart Plating Corp.; FFP Holdings, LLC, formerly known as

certain costs that the United States and the State incurred and/or will
incur in responding to releases of hazardous substances at the Lusher

of $26,436.38. The Consent Decree requires Defendants to reimburse
those State costs and perform injunctive relief related to groundwater
