The Dixie Group, Inc. ("Dixie") received notice that Monterey Carpets Inc. ("Monterey") has elected to terminate its supply arrangement with Chroma Systems Partners ("Chroma Systems") effective August 2005. Chroma Systems is a partnership jointly owned by Dixie and Monterey that operates a carpet dyeing and finishing facility in Santa Ana, California. Chroma Systems currently dyes and finishes substantially all of Monterey's carpet production and Dixie's Fabrica Division's carpet production and performs dyeing and finishing operations for other carpet mills. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Monterey's decision will effectively give Dixie the option to acquire Monterey's interest in the partnership for a nominal value and assume full control of Chroma's operations when the supply agreement terminates. |
