Contingencies
In November 2018, an explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Boise,
Idaho, reportedly causing property damage, personal injury, and one fatality. We had contracted with a service
company for removal and disposal of certain waste resulting from the magnesium powder manufacturing
operations at the Reade facility in Lakehurst, New Jersey. We believe this service company, in turn, apparently
contracted with the third-party disposal company, at whose facility the explosion occurred, for treatment and
disposal of the waste. In November 2020, we were named as a defendant in three lawsuits in relation to the
incident – one by the third-party disposal company, one by the estate of the decedent, and one by an injured
employee of the third-party disposal company. We do not believe that we are liable for the incident, have asserted such, and, therefore, do not currently expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
