Big Lots, Inc. (“we,” “us” or “our”) is providing updated information regarding the voluntary document request received from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 7, 2012, and the grand jury subpoena received from the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York (“U.S. Attorney”) on November 29, 2012. Those matters were the subject of prior disclosure in our Form 10-Q dated December 5, 2012, and Form 10-K dated April 2, 2013.
On May 20, 2013, our counsel received a letter dated May 9, 2013, from the Division of Enforcement of the SEC, which stated in relevant part: “This investigation has been completed as to your client, Big Lots, against which we do not intend to recommend any enforcement action by the Commission.”
With respect to the U.S. Attorney matter, we provided information in response to the November 29, 2012 subpoena in late 2012 and early 2013. Since that time, we have received no further subpoena or other request for information from the U.S. Attorney.
