An accrual for that amount is reflected in the 2004 financial statements of the company.

Rubbermaid Kft. was previously party to Subsidy Contract no. 732/1/1998 with the Hungarian Ministry of Economy and Transport (included in the Data Room), which provided an interest-free loan to Rubbermaid Kft. but also included certain revenue and export revenue requirements. In October 2000 and again in November 2004, Rubbermaid Kft. applied to modify the applicable revenue and export revenue requirements but received no reply from the Ministry until February 25, 2005. Rubbermaid Kft. repaid the interest free loan in December 2004.
