As has been previously disclosed, in connection with the sale by Kid Brands, Inc. (“KID”) of its former gift business in December 2008 to The Russ Companies, Inc. (“TRC”), KID and Russ Berrie U.S. Gift, Inc. (“U.S. Gift”), KID’s subsidiary at the time (and currently a subsidiary of TRC), sent a notice of termination with respect to the lease (the “TRC Lease”), originally entered into by KID (and subsequently assigned to U.S. Gift) of a facility in South Brunswick, New Jersey. Although the TRC Lease became the obligation of TRC (through its ownership of U.S. Gift), KID remained potentially obligated for rental and other specified payments due thereunder (to the extent they were owed but not paid by U.S. Gift).

On July 18, 2011, the landlord under the TRC Lease (the “TRC Landlord”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division: Middlesex County, alleging that KID had breached the TRC Lease and a related assignment by failing to pay rent and other charges due and owing to the TRC Landlord by U.S. Gift pursuant to the TRC Lease, in an aggregate amount of approximately $12 million as of June 11, 2011 (the “Complaint”). As disclosed in KID’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, KID had accrued $1.1 million for potential liabilities for rental and related charges owed by U.S. Gift under the TRC Lease, and stated that it could not assess its potential liability for other amounts allegedly owed thereunder.

As of January 20, 2012, KID and the TRC Landlord entered into a General Release and Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which: (i) KID (without admission of liability) has agreed to pay the TRC Landlord $1.4 million in full and final satisfaction and settlement of all claims asserted against KID in the Complaint, and (ii) the TRC Landlord and related releasing parties have released KID and other specified releasees from all claims against them, including any claims arising out of matters asserted in the Complaint. KID has agreed to pay the settlement amount within 30 days of the execution of the Agreement, and the TRC Landlord has agreed to dismiss the Complaint with prejudice within 10 days of receipt of such payment.
