Bath Body Works Inc

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a defendant in a variety of lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Actions filed against the Company from time to time may include commercial, tort, intellectual property, tax, customer, employment, wage and hour, data privacy, securities, anti-corruption and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the eventual outcome of any litigation, in the opinion of management, our current legal proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act Cases

We were named as a defendant in three putative class actions: Smidga, et al. v. Bath & Body Works, LLC in the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas; Dahlin v. Bath & Body Works, LLC in the Santa Barbara County, California Superior Court; and Blanco v. Bath & Body Works, LLC in the Cook County, Illinois Circuit Court. The complaints each alleged that we violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act by printing more than the last five digits of credit or debit card numbers on customers’ receipts and, among other things, sought statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. The Blanco case was sent to individual arbitration by court order, and we finalized a settlement of the case during the first quarter of 2024 that has resolved the arbitration and lawsuit. We also reached an agreement with the plaintiffs in the Smidga and Dahlin cases that will resolve those matters, subject to court approval. The resolutions of these claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
