TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01Other Events
Four of the venues at which Centerplate operates food concessions have been impacted by Hurricane Katrina: the Louisiana Superdome and New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, and the Hank Aaron Stadium (minor league baseball) and Ladd-Peebles Stadium (college football) in Mobile, Alabama. At the Hank Aaron and Ladd-Peebles Stadiums power has been restored. As reported, the Superdome incurred damage. Centerplate is proud that a team of Centerplate managers and volunteers at the Superdome stayed on to supply food to the thousands of residents of the New Orleans area who took refuge at that facility. Centerplate’s team is only now being evacuated. Although uncertainty concerning the long term effects of Hurricane Katrina on these venues and the communities in which they are located remains, Centerplate maintains property and business interruption insurance, and at this time, Centerplate does not believe that Hurricane Katrina will have a material adverse effect on its business.
