Items to be Included in this Report
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on October 5, 2000, Owens Corning and certain of its United States subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
Also as previously reported, on December 31, 2005, the Debtors, together with the Official Committee of Asbestos claimants and the Legal Representative for the class of future asbestos claimants (collectively, the “Proponents”), filed with the Court a Fifth Amended Joint Plan Of Reorganization For Owens Corning And Its Affiliated Debtors And Debtors-In-Possession (the “Fifth Amended Plan”) and a Disclosure Statement with respect to the Fifth Amended Plan (the “Amended Disclosure Statement”).
On January 27, 2006, the Proponents filed with the Court Appendix B to the Amended Disclosure Statement, “Projected Financial Information” (“Appendix B”), and Appendix C to the Amended Disclosure Statement, “Liquidation Analysis” (“Appendix C”). The information contained in Appendix B and Appendix C was prepared in connection with the filing of the Amended Disclosure Statement in December and is preliminary. The Amended Disclosure Statement has not been approved by the Court and is therefore subject to amendment. The information provided in Appendix B and Appendix C is expected to be updated as part of any amendments and revisions to the Amended Disclosure Statement. A copy of Appendix B is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of Appendix C is being filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
