Section 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

 

Accuride Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on October 8, 2009.  In connection therewith, on December 11, 2009, the Debtors filed the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (the “Plan”) and a related amended Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the bankruptcy court.  The Plan and Disclosure Statement amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement previously filed with the bankruptcy court on November 18, 2009.

 

The Debtors recommend that its stakeholders refer to the limitations and qualifications included in the Plan and Disclosure Statement, as applicable, with respect to the information contained therein. Information contained in the Plan and Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments to the Plan, actions of third parties or otherwise.

 

Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the bankruptcy court approves the Disclosure Statement.  Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be, construed as a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the bankruptcy court.

 

A copy of the Plan is publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at: http://accurideinfo.com/pdflib/351_13449.pdf, and copies of certain exhibits to the Plan are publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at http://accurideinfo.com/pdflib/354_13449.pdf.  A copy of the Disclosure Statement is publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at http://accurideinfo.com/pdflib/352_13449.pdf.  Copies of black lines of the amended Plan and Disclosure Statement showing changes from the versions filed on November 18, 2009 are publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at http://accurideinfo.com/pdflib/353_13449.pdf.  The information set forth on the foregoing website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K, and registration statements or other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shall not incorporate any information set forth on the website or in this Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.  The furnishing of the information in this Item 7.01 will not be deemed an admission (i) as to the materiality or completeness of any information in this Form 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD, or (ii) that investors should consider this information before making an investment decision with respect to the Company.
