Beverly has a warehouse and sales office in the Gulf Coast Region. The damage caused by Hurricane William (Hurricane), a Category 5 hurricane, has rendered the warehouse inoperable and has also forced the company to rent temporary office space in Houston to accommodate its sales force. Beverly reached a settlement with its insurance carrier related to the damage from the hurricane and received proceeds of $15 million from its insurance carrier in connection with its claim for reimbursement.Beverly plans to use the insurance proceeds to fund its defined-benefit pension plan, rather than to rebuild the destroyed facility.
