Item 8.01 Other Events

     On December 5, 2006, Nashua Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (“Nashua”) issued a press release announcing that on November 29, 2006 the Supreme Court of Illinois declined to hear the appeal by the plaintiffs filed by Phillippe Olczyk, and others, against Cerion Technologies, Inc., Nashua and others. In a June 30, 2006 Order, the Appellate Court of Illinois dismissed the plaintiffs’ appeal of an August 16, 2005 Order of the Circuit Court of Cook County, which had granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The Appellate Court found that it lacked appellate jurisdiction. On August 4, 2006, the plaintiffs filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Illinois for leave to appeal the Appellate Court’s order.

     The suit was initially filed in 1996 against Cerion Technologies, Inc., Nashua and other defendants. The original complaint alleged that Cerion Technologies, Inc., a former subsidiary of Nashua, had issued materially false and misleading statements and omitted the disclosure of certain material facts in connection with its initial public offering. The defendants denied that they had issued false and misleading statements. Cerion Technologies Inc. ceased operations in November 1998.

     A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K at Exhibit 99.1.
