Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

EaglePicher Holdings, Inc. (“EP Holdings”) and EaglePicher Incorporated (“EPI”) entered into an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement dated as of February 28, 2005, by and among EP Holdings, EPI, a group of banks and other financial institutions (“Lenders”) and Harris Trust and Savings Bank (“Agent”), as Administrative Agent for the Lenders. The Forbearance Agreement relates to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 2003, as amended, by and among EP Holdings, EPI, the Lenders, and the Agent.

Pursuant to this Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders agreed to forbear from exercising any remedies as a result of EPI’s previously announced covenant noncompliance under the Credit Agreement through June 10, 2005 and to continue funding EPI’s revolving credit facility through that date in its full amount of $125 million, provided that no new defaults occur.

In connection with this Forbearance Agreement, Granaria Holdings B.V. and ABN AMRO Participaties B.V., which collectively control 100% and beneficially own approximately 84% of EP Holdings’ common stock, purchased a $12,187,500 junior participation in EPI’s revolving credit facility, the amount of EPI’s March 1, 2005 interest payment on its 9.75% Senior Notes due 2013. Granaria also agreed to defer payment on its $1.75 million annual management fee through June 10, 2005.

This Forbearance Agreement contains a covenant of minimum monthly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as defined in the Forbearance Agreement. This covenant is in lieu of the three financial covenants in the Credit Agreement for which EPI is currently not in compliance. EaglePicher also agreed to an increase of one and one quarter percentage point in the interest rate for the term loan and three quarters of a percentage point in the interest rate for the revolving facility under the Credit Agreement, paid a $500,000 fee and agreed to limit capital expenditures to $10 million from February 28 through June 10, 2005.

Item 8.01. Other Events

The registrant issued a press release dated February 28, 2005 announcing entry into the Forbearance Agreement described above, making an interest payment on its senior notes, filing an extension for filing its Annual Report on Form10-K and an estimated net loss of $25 million to $60 million for its fiscal year ended November 30, 2004.

The information being furnished under Section 7 of this report shall not be considered “filed” for purposes of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities thereof, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent specifically provided in any such filing.
