On November 29, 2012, the Company disclosed that its China Division same-store sales growth forecasts would not be met. Then on December 20, 2012 and December 21, 2012 news reports stated the Company knew, but concealed, that it was purchasing chickens containing excessive antibiotics and other illegal chemicals. In a January 7, 2013 disclosure the Company announced that it was lowering its full year 2012 guidance for same-stores sales for its China Division as a result of publicity surrounding a governmental review of the Company's poultry supply.
