Certain CompuCom services were not impacted by the malware incident, and CompuCom continued to deliver certain services to those customers throughout March. CompuCom was able to substantially restore delivery capabilities as of March 17, 2021, and had restored its service delivery to substantially all of its customers as of the end of March 2021. As a part of the restoration efforts, CompuCom has taken actions to efficiently and securely restore service delivery to its customers while hardening its systems with enhanced security measures and advanced anti-malware agents. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company provided impacted customers and former and current associates with required notice. As of the fourth quarter 2021, the Company has concluded its analysis of the malware incident. While the Company does not expect further material developments, the Company will evaluate new information, if any, in the event any new information arises and will record an estimate for losses when it is both probable and reasonably estimable. Further, the Company may become subject to regulatory enforcement actions and litigation that could result in financial judgments or the payment of settlement amounts and disputes with insurance carriers concerning coverage. In connection with the down time CompuCom experienced due to temporarily suspending certain services to certain customers, CompuCom had loss of service revenue of $6 million in 2021, which is within the Company’s previously disclosed estimate for total loss of service revenue due to the malware incident of between $5 million and $8 million. In addition, the Company expects to incur expenses of up to $15 million, of which the Company incurred $13 million in 2021. These expense estimates are primarily related to CompuCom’s efforts to restore service delivery to impacted customers, costs to investigate and remediate the incident, increased expenditures for cyber protection, legal and other professional services related thereto, and to address certain other matters resulting from the incident. The Company carries insurance, including cyber insurance, which it believes to be commensurate with the Company’s size and the nature of its operations and expects that a portion of these costs may be covered by insurance. The financial impact of the malware incident, as described above, is reflected within discontinued operations. On December 31, 2021, the Company sold CompuCom to an affiliate of Variant Equity. The purchase agreement includes standard indemnification provisions including for any third-party claims in connection with the malware incident which are not to exceed $10 million. In addition to the foregoing, OfficeMax is named a defendant in a number of lawsuits, claims, and proceedings arising out of the operation of certain paper and forest products assets prior to those assets being sold in 2004, for which OfficeMax agreed to retain responsibility. Also, as part of that sale, OfficeMax agreed to retain responsibility for all pending or threatened proceedings and future proceedings alleging asbestos-related injuries arising out of the operation of the paper and forest products assets prior to the closing of the sale. The Company has made provision for losses with respect to the pending proceedings. Additionally, as of December 25, 2021, the Company has made provision for environmental liabilities with respect to certain sites where hazardous substances or other contaminants are or may be located. For these liabilities, the Company’s estimated range of reasonably possible losses was approximately $15 million to $25 million. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to these liabilities. As additional information becomes known, these estimates may change, however, the Company does not believe any of these OfficeMax retained proceedings are material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
