Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 12, 2007, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia dismissed with prejudice In Re BearingPoint, Inc. Securities Litigation II (Civil Action
No. 1:05-cv-454), granting motions to dismiss filed by BearingPoint, Inc. (the Company) and the
other named defendants. As previously disclosed, in and after April 2005, various separate
complaints were filed with, and a class certified by, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia with respect to allegations that the Company and other named defendants
violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act),
Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. In granting the Companys
motion to dismiss, the court ruled that the plaintiff failed to meet the scienter pleading
requirements set forth in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended.
Plaintiff may seek review of the courts decision.
