Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 6, 2008, Solutia Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the Company’s suit against Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “Commitment Parties”). A copy of the press release and a copy of the Company’s complaint cited therein (the “Complaint”) are available as exhibits to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2008. On February 6, 2008, the Commitment Parties filed a response (a copy of which is currently available at www.trumbullgroup.com) to the Complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court has set February 21, 2008 as the date upon which oral arguments with respect to the Complaint will be first heard.
As previously disclosed, funding of the obligations under the commitment letter by the Commitment Parties is a condition to consummation of the Company’s confirmed plan of reorganization. The equity commitment letter with respect to the creditor rights offering contains closing conditions including that the effective date of the Company’s confirmed plan of reorganization shall have occurred by February 28, 2008. To accommodate the Company’s financing needs, the Bankruptcy Court agreed to commence the trial with respect to the Complaint on February 21, 2008 and to conclude the trial on February 26, 2008. No assurance can be given that the Company will prevail in its dispute with the Commitment Parties or that the Bankruptcy Court will enter an order in time to force closing by February 28, 2008. Even if a timely order is entered, no assurance can be given that the Commitment Parties would not be able to obtain a stay pending appeal. Any of these factors could cause the Company to fail to meet a closing condition under the creditor rights offering commitment.
Limitation on Incorporation by Reference
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Form 8-K furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
