As previously disclosed, on June 18, 2008, Fremont General Corporation (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On July 17, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court entered a court order (“Order”) granting the motion filed by the Company on June 23, 2008, which sought approval to consummate the acquisition by CapitalSource Inc. (“CapitalSource”), through its newly formed wholly-owned California industrial bank subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank (in organization), of a substantial portion of the assets of Fremont Investment & Loan, the Company’s wholly-owned indirect bank subsidiary (“FIL”), including all of FIL’s branches, and the assumption of all of FIL’s deposits (the “CapitalSource Transaction”) pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated April 13, 2008 (“Purchase Agreement”). On July 25, 2008, the CapitalSource Transaction was consummated and FIL ceased operating as a California industrial bank. Following the CapitalSource Transaction, FIL changed its name to “Fremont Reorganizing Corporation” and continues to operate as a California corporation.

The Company has not yet been able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 or its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. The Company is reviewing the feasibility of completing its 2007 consolidated financial statements and its consolidated quarterly financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 in the context of the Company’s bankruptcy filing and the termination of FIL’s banking activities following the CapitalSource Transaction. As a result of these matters confronting the Company, the Company is not able to determine when it will be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2008 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

SEC 1344 (05-06)		Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.
