Distribution Facility Construction Agreements - In December 2012, the Company entered into a series of agreements with various parties for the acquisition and construction of a new 1.3 million square foot distribution facility to be built to our specifications on approximately 84 acres of land in Olive Branch, Mississippi. The total cost of the project after certain incentives and sales tax exemptions is approximately $37.00 million, including distribution equipment and IT infrastructure.  These costs are subject to usual and customary adjustments. The new facility will consolidate the operations of our U.S. based Personal Care and Healthcare / Home Environment appliance businesses.  This will allow for continued expansion of our U.S. based Housewares and Personal Care liquid, solid- and powder-based personal care and grooming products within our existing 1.2 million square foot distribution facility in Southaven, Mississippi.  We expect to fund the project out of a combination of cash from operations, our existing revolving line of credit and new long-term debt. The new facility is expected to become operational during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. At that time, we will vacate an existing leased facility in Memphis, Tennessee.
