INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

The confirmation hearing in Federal-Mogul Corporation’s chapter 11 proceeding, which had been scheduled to commence on December 9, 2004, has been postponed. The Company is preparing to move forward with estimation of asbestos personal injury claims against the UK Debtors beginning December 9, 2004. After the Company and the co-proponents of its Plan of Reorganization have the results from the estimation proceedings, amendments to the Plan of Reorganization will be filed that will reflect, among other things, the results of that estimation. Thereafter, the Company and its Plan of Reorganization co-proponents expect to move forward toward confirmation of the amended Plan of Reorganization. Accordingly, the Company’s Plan of Reorganization confirmation proceedings will not begin on December 9, 2004, as had been previously disclosed.

 

The Independent Trustee for the Champion Pension Scheme last week received approval by a United Kingdom Court to vote in favor of the Plan of Reorganization and to take the Alternate Payout option in relation to the Champion scheme once the Plan of Reorganization is confirmed. The Champion Scheme covers approximately 300 Federal-Mogul Corporation employees in the United Kingdom.
