Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 23, 2006, a three-judge panel of the Ohio Court of Appeals unanimously reversed a $6.4 million verdict entered against our subsidiary, Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, and granted a new trial. The verdict was originally entered in favor of the plaintiff in Cuyahoga County Court in November 2003. The plaintiff brought suit against Garlock on behalf of her husband, who died of mesothelioma in 2000.
In connection with the reversal, Garlock will not be required to renew an appeal bond previously posted in the amount of $5.6 million. Cash collateral in that amount, which was required by the bonding company, will be returned to Garlock.
