Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
As most recently reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Registrant may from time to time seek to retire its outstanding 12% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2013 ("Notes") in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on prevailing market conditions and other factors. The amount of repurchases of Notes may be material and may involve significant amounts of cash and/or financing availability.

In privately negotiated transactions that settled on February 13 and February 18, 2009, respectively, the Registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary, Southern Graphic Systems, Inc. ("Southern"), acquired Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $25,500,000 for a cash purchase price of $15,000,000, together with accrued interest on the Notes. With the cancellation of these repurchased Notes, $174,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes remain outstanding.

The Note repurchases described above were financed in part by aggregate borrowings of $14,902,857 under the revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") of the senior secured credit facility provided to the Registrant by a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other entities led by UBS Securities LLC. The senior secured credit facility initially provided financing of up to $193.7 million, consisting of: a $118.7 million term loan facility; a $40 million acquisition facility; and the $35 million Revolver, up to $20 million of which is available for acquisitions and $20 million of which is available for borrowing by our Canadian subsidiary, Southern Graphic Systems-Canada, Co. ("SGS-Canada"). The $118.7 million term loan facility was drawn in its entirety by the Registrant and SGS-Canada on December 30, 2005 in connection with the Registrant's acquisition of Southern and its affiliated businesses from Alcoa Inc. The balance of the acquisition facility was drawn on December 27, 2007 in connection with SGS-Canada's acquisition of Tri-Ad Graphic Communications Ltd. and affiliated businesses.

As previously reported in our report on Form 8-K filed on December 12, 2008, the Registrant has concluded that Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. ("Lehman") is unable or unwilling to fund its 25.49% lending commitment of loans under the Revolver and that, as a result, the amount actually available under the Revolver is $26,080,000 rather than $35 million. This conclusion was reinforced when Lehman failed to fund its portion of the borrowing requests for the loans to finance the Note repurchases described above. There are no Revolver borrowings outstanding other than the $14,902,857 referred to above. The Registrant therefore believes that $11,177,143 remains available for borrowing under the Revolver, which matures on December 30, 2010.
