Item 7.01      Regulation FD Disclosure


On November 21, 2006, Crown Holdings, Inc. commenced a solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of the 6¼% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”), to certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture relating to the Notes dated as of September 1, 2004 (the “Indenture”), among Crown European Holdings SA, a French société anonyme , the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Proposed Amendments, if adopted, will amend certain provisions contained in Sections 1.01 and 4.10(b) of the Indenture. The principal purpose of the Proposed Amendments is to increase our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness and liens and to make restricted payments, including without limitation the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement for value of shares of our common stock, by conforming certain terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture to the corresponding terms and conditions set forth in our other senior debt agreements. Among other things, the Proposed Amendments would allow us and our subsidiaries to incur an additional $200,000,000 of Pari Passu First Priority indebtedness secured by the collateral securing the Notes and to make $100,000,000 of additional restricted payments of any type.

The Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 4, 2006, unless extended. The approval of the proposed amendments requires the consent of holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes. This disclosure is not a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities. There can be no assurance the Consent Solicitation or the Proposed Amendments will be completed as described or at all.

The information in this Form 8-K is “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
