Item 8.01 Other Events

KEMET Corporation’s (the “Company”) tender offer for its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time on May 17, 2010 (the “Expiration Date”).

On May 18, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the tender offer. Based on final information provided to the Company by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and depositary for the tender offer, $57,480,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, representing approximately 71 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes prior to the expiration of the tender offer, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date. Because the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered exceeded the maximum tender amount ($40,500,000 in aggregate principal amount) that the Company was obligated to accept under the terms of the tender offer, the amount of Notes that the Company accepted from tendering holders was subject to proration. As a result, $40,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes were accepted for purchase in the tender offer at a purchase price of $935 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes purchased in the tender offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of payment for the Notes. The aggregate consideration (including accrued and unpaid interest) for the accepted Notes, equal to $37,875,093.81, was deposited with The Depository Trust Company on May 18, 2010 for delivery to the tendering holders.
