Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously reported, Apio, Inc. ("
Apio"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Landec Corporation ("the "Registrant"), reached an agreement in principle on March 27, 2017 to settle (a) discrimination and wrongful termination claims before California and Federal agencies and in individual arbitrations and (b) wage and hour claims as part of two Private Attorney General Act cases in state court and in individual arbitrations (collectively, the "Actions") made against Apio and its labor contractor.
On May 5, 2017
, the parties to these actions executed a Settlement Agreement and Release (the "Settlement Agreement") formalizing an agreement to settle the Actions.  The Settlement Agreement provides for the payment of $5.91 million by the defendants in settlement of all claims by non-exempt employees who worked at Apio's Guadalupe, California facility at any time between September 30, 2011 and the date the Superior Court of California grants preliminary approval of the settlement.  Under the Settlement Agreement, the plaintiffs are to be paid in three installments:  $2.37 million by July 2017, $1.77 million in November 2017 or 10 days after final approval, whichever comes later, and $1.77 million in July 2018 or 10 days after final approval, whichever comes later.  Apio is responsible for half of these payments with the labor contractor being responsible for the other half.
The Settlement Agreement will be filed with the Superior Court of California, Santa Barbara County, for preliminary approval and will be heard on,
or about, June 14, 2017.  The Settlement Agreement also remains subject to final approval by the Superior Court and certain other conditions.
The foregoing summary description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Settlement Ag
reement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
