Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 22, 2005, the Superior Court of California (the "Court") dismissed the remaining cause of action in the amended complaint (the "Complaint") filed by the California Insurance Commissioner, (the "Commissioner") on behalf of Fremont Indemnity Company against Fremont General Corporation (the "Company"). The Court ruled in favor of the Company’s demurrer, finding that the "Plaintiff still failed to plead any affirmative misrepresentation which is actionable." The Court also found that the "pleading is inadequate as to damage allegations."

This ruling by the Court dismisses the only remaining cause of action in the lawsuit originally brought by the Commissioner on behalf of Fremont Indemnity Company against Fremont General Corporation, first reported on June 17, 2004.
