Item 8.01 Other Events

     On June 13, 2008 Celanese Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company had entered into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in the consolidated proceeding styled In re Polyester Staple Antitrust Litigation, MDL 1516, previously disclosed in the Company’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the plaintiffs have dismissed their claims in consideration of a payment by the Company of $107 million. This settlement resolves a substantial portion of the Company’s potential exposure with respect to sales of polyester staple fiber.

     The Company also announced its intent to divest its ownership interest in several legacy Infraserv investments where Celanese no longer has manufacturing operations. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
