ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
As previously reported, on December 17, 2003, Solutia Inc.
("Solutia") and its fourteen U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors")
filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The cases were
consolidated for the purpose of joint administration and were assigned case
number 03-17949 (PCB). Solutia's subsidiaries outside the United States were
not included in the Chapter 11 filing.
On May 16, 2007, the Debtors issued a press release announcing that
they had filed with the Bankruptcy Court: (a) Debtors' Amended Joint Plan of
Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan") and
(b) a related Amended Debtors' Disclosure Statement pursuant to Section 1125
of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Disclosure Statement"). A copy of a press release
announcing the filing of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the
Plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves the Disclosure Statement.
Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be
construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become
effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
