Item 5. Other Events
On March 19, 2004, International Multifoods Corp. (“Multifoods”) was notified that Multifoods, its directors and a former officer have been named defendants in a lawsuit, seeking injunctive relief, filed in response to Multifoods’ recently announced agreement to be acquired by The J.M. Smucker Company. The complaint, brought by a union shareholder, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 132 Pension Plan, was filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota District Court.
Multifoods believes that the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit.
