Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On March 10, 2009, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (“Fleetwood”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with Fleetwood, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Riverside Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ have filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court for entry of an order directing joint administration of the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Fleetwood’s caption and case number, In re: Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. et al., Chapter 11 Case No. 09-14254-BB. The Debtors plan to continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On March 10, 2009, Fleetwood issued a press release relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default or otherwise triggered the acceleration of (or the right to accelerate) repayment obligations under a number of prepetition instruments and agreements relating to the Debtors (the “Debt Documents”). As a result, all debt outstanding (including, but not limited to, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) under the Debt Documents became (or may become) immediately due and payable, subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Any efforts by creditors to enforce the repayment obligations under the Debt Documents are stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The approximate principal amount of debt currently outstanding under certain of the Debt Documents, the acceleration of which is material to Fleetwood, is as follows:

1. $61.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, under that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2007, among Fleetwood, Fleetwood Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries listed on the signature pages thereof, and the lenders party thereto, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), and the guarantee of the obligations under the Credit Facility by Fleetwood pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Fleetwood Guaranty, dated as of January 5, 2007, between Fleetwood and Bank of America, N.A.
