Item 1.01. —Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 6, 2008, Wellman Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement amending its senior secured superpriority debtor in possession credit agreement dated February 26, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as borrowers, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders that from time to time become party thereto. Under Section 9.1(i)(xvi) of the Credit Agreement as originally entered into, it would have been an event of default if the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (as defined in the Credit Agreement) did not enter an order in form and substance satisfactory to the administrative agent and the lenders, on or before May 22, 2008 (the “Order Deadline”), (A) approving bidding procedures, (B) scheduling a bidding deadline, auction date and sale hearing date, and (C) establishing procedures under Section 363 and 365 of the United States bankruptcy code for the sale of the Company. The letter agreement amended the Credit Agreement so that the Order Deadline is June 26, 2008. The letter agreement does not amend any other section of the Credit Agreement. For a description of the Credit Agreement and a copy thereof, please see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 26, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2008.
