Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Gypsum Transportation Limited (“GTL”), a subsidiary of USG Corporation (“USG” or the “Company”), entered into two memorandums of agreement for the sale of the two self-unloading ocean vessels owned by GTL for a total sales price of $42 million.

On April 28, 2015, GTL completed the sale of these two vessels. In connection with these sales, GTL repaid the outstanding loan balance of $18 million under GTL’s secured loan facility agreement with DVB Bank SE, and paid applicable selling costs. As disclosed in USG’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, GTL previously accrued for a termination fee relating to the cancellation of the lease for a third self-unloading ocean vessel and will also incur charges to wind up its operations. Accordingly, after all the anticipated transactions are consummated, USG expects a net cash inflow of $10 million to $13 million.
