Item 8.01   Other Events.
     On October 8, 2010, Harbinger Group Inc. (“HGI”, “we” or “us”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that we received an offer from Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd. (the “Master Fund”), an affiliate of Harbinger Capital Partners LLC, (i) to assign to us the Master Fund’s rights to acquire Old Mutual U.S. Life Holdings, Inc. and (ii) to transfer to us the Master Fund’s interest in Front Street Re, Ltd. (together, the “Insurance Acquisition”). After further discussing financing alternatives and the Insurance Acquisition as currently proposed, we and the Master Fund determined not to proceed with the Insurance Acquisition by HGI. The parties may reconsider the Insurance Acquisition by HGI on different terms in the future, but there is no proposal at this time and there can be no assurance that there will be an alternate proposal in the future.
