The complaint, which has not yet been served on the Company, is captioned Robert E. Lifson, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v . Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. and Laurie A. Bebo, 2:12-cv-00884, and was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
