(NYSE: PPD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) wishes to clarify information provided in our press release issued yesterday, November 19, 2009. We believe the proposed draft complaint from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") referred to in yesterday's release is the next step in an ongoing process between us and the FTC that began in March 2007. This process has been the subject of prior press releases and disclosures in previous public filings. The proposed draft complaint narrowly focuses on our Affirmative Defense Response System ("ADRS") marketing program and specific representations regarding identity theft and data privacy issues.
