Item 8.01.  Other Events.

Thomas Nelson, Inc. (the "Company") and each of its directors have been named
as defendants in "City of Pontiac General Employees' Retirement System vs.
Thomas Nelson, Inc., et. al.," a Tennessee state court action filed in the
Chancery Court for Davidson County, Tennessee on February 24, 2006. The suit
was brought in connection with the Company's recently announced Agreement and
Plan of Merger with an affiliate of InterMedia Partners, L.P. (the "Merger
Agreement") and certain agreements related thereto with the Company's Chairman,
Sam Z. Moore.   The plaintiff(s) in the action allege that the defendants
breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, pursuing a transaction
without regard to the fairness of the transaction to all of the Company's
shareholders and without properly valuing the Company and allowing a
competitive bidding process to take place. The plaintiff(s) also allege that
that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by taking steps to
discourage other acquisition proposals, including by agreeing to an excessive
termination fee in the Merger Agreement.  The lawsuit seeks, among other things,
certification as a class action, a determination that fiduciary duties were
breached, injunctive relief against the proposed transaction and recovery of
costs of the plaintiff(s), including attorneys' fees.

The Company believes the suit is without merit and intends to defend against it
vigorously.
