Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 14, 2013, Travelzoo Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with 34 states to resolve those states’ claims related to unclaimed property audits. As previously disclosed in the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, multiple states have claimed that certain shares of Travelzoo, which were not claimed by former shareholders of Travelzoo.com Corporation following the 2002 merger, were unclaimed property. While the Company disputes the states’ claims, the Company determined that it was in its best interest to resolve the disputes and settle with 34 of the states. The Company expects to record an estimated $22.0 million charge, which will be included in the Company’s financial earnings release for the three months ended September 30, 2013, which is scheduled to be released on October 17, 2013.
The information set forth in Exhibit 10.1 hereto under the heading “Travelzoo Inc. Enters into Multi-State Unclaimed Property Settlement” is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by this reference.
