Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

                On February 1, 2008, Steel Dynamics, Inc. (“SDI”) was served with a Complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, by Prime Eagle Group Limited (the “Plaintiff”), a corporation formed in the British Virgin Islands with its principal place of business in Thailand.  The Complaint, alleges that Steel Dynamics, which performed certain consulting services for a management company formed to assist a Thailand-based steel mini-mill, Nakornthai Strip Mill Public Company, Limited (“NSM”) in its operational start-up in 1998, caused NSM’s start-up efforts to fail and the mill to shut down by falsely and fraudulently expressing its opinion that there were certain equipment and design issues that needed to be addressed.  The Complaint alleges damages “believed to be in excess of $1.1 billion.”  The Plaintiff, consisting of certain original shareholder founders of NSM, claims to be the assignee, through proceedings in the Central Bankruptcy Court of Thailand, of claims which NSM allegedly had or may have against SDI.

 

                Steel Dynamics believes that the allegations and claims set forth in the Complaint are baseless and without merit, and the Company intends to vigorously and with great resolve defend this lawsuit.
