- Definition

Based on a Statutory Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for the tax years 2007 through 2009, the IRS claims that the Company’s United States taxable income should be increased by an amount that creates a potential additional federal income tax liability of approximately $3.3 billion for the period. The Company firmly believes that the assessments are without merit and plans to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve this matter.
