ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

On February 8 and February 11, 2008, Imperial Sugar Company issued press releases regarding an explosion at its sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia, which is located near Savannah, Georgia, the evening of Thursday, February 7, 2008. A full investigation of the extent of the damage at the Port Wentworth, Georgia refinery cannot be made until the site is released to Imperial’s engineers following completion of regulatory, on site investigations. Preliminary visual inspection conducted from beyond the perimeter of the site appears to indicate that significant portions of the facility, including the refinery’s bulk storage capacity and virtually its entire packaging capabilities, were seriously damaged.

Employees located at the Port Wentworth facility remain employees of Imperial and continue to receive their paychecks at this time. Imperial expects that its insurance policies will cover at least a portion of the payroll for employees at the facility.

Any statements regarding damage assessment and expectations regarding insurance coverage are forward-looking statements. Actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.
