OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE As a result of hotel properties of The Hallwood Group Incorporated (the "Company") being placed into receivership, as previously reported, the Company has determined that a technical default has occurred under the Company's 10% Collateralized Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures"). The Indenture provides that upon the occurrence of a default the principal and accrued interest on the Debentures shall automatically become due and payable. A copy of the notice (the "Notice") to holders of the Debentures from Bank One, N.A., trustee, is attached. The Notice states that the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, on behalf of all holders, may waive the default and that if the default is waived and the Company has deposited sufficient funds to pay overdue interest and other costs, then the majority holders may rescind and annul the declaration of acceleration and its consequences. The Company intends to solicit such a waiver from the holders of the Debentures. There can be no assurance that a waiver will be obtained, however. ITEM 7.
