Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 6, 2005, after notice and hearing, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) granted the Joint Motion of Debtors in Possession and Spectrum Class for Final Approval of Settlement with Spectrum Class (the “Joint Motion”) submitted by Kaiser Group International, Inc. and its affiliated debtor subsidiaries and debtors in possession (the “Debtors”) and James D. Pippin, on behalf of himself and the Class of ICT Spectrum Bankruptcy Claimants (the “Spectrum Class”).  In granting the Joint Motion, the Bankruptcy Court authorized Kaiser Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Debtors and the Spectrum Class to enter into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) in full and final satisfaction of claims and equity interests of the Spectrum Class and its members, all as described in the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreement, absent a timely filed notice of appeal, the Company will issue 175,003 shares of its common stock pro rata to members of the Spectrum Class and to counsel for the Spectrum Class.  The Company will distribute an additional 4,259 shares of common stock pro rata to certain members of the Spectrum Class and will make available for exchange an additional 6,169 shares of common stock, all as provided in the Settlement Agreement.

 

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains, and our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and written or oral statements made by our officers and directors to the press, potential investors, securities analysts and others may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are predictions, and generally can be identified by use of statements that include terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” or “foresee” or other words or phrases of similar import.  Similarly, statements that describe or contain information related to matters such as our intent, belief, or expectation with respect to financial performance, claims resolution, cash availability, stock redemption plans, contract awards and performance, potential acquisitions and joint ventures and cost-cutting measures are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements often reflect a number of assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated in these forward-looking statements.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, including those described below, the forward-looking events might or might not occur.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
