Item 8.01 Other Events.
As disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by Georgia Gulf Corporation (the Company) on June 9, 2008, the Company received notice and a letter of transmittal (collectively, the Notice) from persons (Claimants) claiming to own at least 25% of the Companys 7 1/8% notes due 2013 (the Notes) which were issued under an indenture dated December 3, 2003 (the Indenture) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (the Trustee). The Notice asserts that borrowings under the Companys senior credit facility resulted in the incurrence of debt obligations in excess of the amount permitted under Section 3.3 of the Indenture. The Company disputes the Notice and believes that all existing indebtedness was incurred in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture. The Company filed a Complaint in the Court of Chancery of the state of Delaware on June 8, 2008 seeking to enjoin the Claimants and seeking a declaratory judgment to the effect that the Company is not in default under Section 3.3 of the Indenture (the Complaint). The Company also filed, on June 8, 2008, a Motion for Expedited Proceedings seeking to have the court order that the lawsuit be expedited (the Motion).
On June 12, 2008 at a hearing held before the Delaware Court of Chancery regarding the Motion, the court concurred that the lawsuit should be expedited, setting July 21, 2008 as the trial date for the case. Further, the Claimants agreed to take no action relative to the acceleration of the indebtedness under the Notes until the court issues its final order.
