8.01 Other Events
On April 30, 2010, the Company
completed the sale of its PVC additives business which resulted in a pre-tax
loss of approximately $8 million. As a result, the Company classified
this business as a discontinued operation in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2010.
Under applicable rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, when a registrant prepares, on or after the
date a registrant reports discontinued operations, a new registration statement
that includes or incorporates by reference financial statements, the registrant
is required to recast the prior period annual and relevant interim financial
statements included or incorporated by reference in such registration statement
to reflect the discontinued operations. Accordingly, we are filing
this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast our consolidated financial statements
for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2009 to reflect the
presentation of the PVC additives business as a discontinued
operation. This recasting does not represent a restatement of
previously issued financial statements.
The
following recast information is presented as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4,
respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K:
Item 6,
Selected Financial Data
Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Financial Statement Schedule II, Valuation and Qualifying
Accounts
The
information presented in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K updates certain of the information set forth in Items 6, 7
and 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as
amended (the “2009 Form 10-K”) to reflect the presentation of the PVC additives
business as a discontinued operation.
The Exhibits to this Current Report on
Form 8-K do not reflect events after the filing of our 2009 Form 10-K, and such
Exhibits do not modify or update the disclosures in our 2009 Form 10-K other
than to reflect the changes in discontinued operations. As we have not modified
or updated any other disclosures presented in our 2009 Form 10-K, all such
disclosures are as of the date of our 2009 Form 10-K.
