Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 23, 2023, Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (the “Company”) identified a cybersecurity event involving certain of the Company’s information technology (“IT”) systems. Upon discovery of the event, the Company activated its incident response and business continuity plans designed to contain the incident. This included proactively shutting down certain of the Company’s IT systems, resulting in the temporary interruption of the Company’s operations. Legal counsel, a cybersecurity forensic firm and other incident response professionals have been engaged to advise on the matter. The Company has also notified law enforcement authorities.
As of the date hereof, the Company has begun the process to bring certain of its critical IT systems back online and has resumed operations. The forensic investigation remains ongoing and the Company continues to work to determine whether this incident will have a material impact on its business, operations, or financial results. If the Company determines that any personal information was involved, it would endeavor to comply with any reporting obligations it may have with respect to such information under applicable law.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements might include information relating to the Company’s expectations regarding its ability to restore its critical operational data and IT systems and the impact of the cybersecurity incident on its business, operations and financial
results. When used in this Current Report, the word “expects” and variations of such word or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize its expectations or that its beliefs will prove correct.
Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the ongoing forensic investigation, the effectiveness of the Company’s incident response and business continuity plans, the Company’s ability to restore its critical IT systems in a reasonable time frame and the ongoing assessment of the impact of this event on its business, operations and financial results. Additional risk factors are discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There may be other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.
