Section 8 – Other Events

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Actuant Corporation (“Actuant” or the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2007 (“2007 Form 10-K”) to reflect the two-for-one stock split of its Class A common stock that was paid on November 8, 2007 and to include footnote disclosure of certain financial information pertaining to the guarantors of the Company’s senior credit agreement and 6.875% Senior Notes. The Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2007 is also being updated to include the guarantor footnote.

 

This update has no effect on the Company’s previously reported consolidated net income, financial position or cash flows.

 

The Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2007 with the SEC on January 8, 2008. That filing already reflects the two-for-one stock split of its Class A common stock that was paid on November 8, 2007.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this update is as of the respective filing dates of our 2007 Form 10-K and our 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2007. We have not updated the disclosures contained in our 2007 Form 10-K or our 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2007 to reflect any other events that have occurred after the respective filing dates (e.g. changes in executive officers, new accounting pronouncements and acquisitions). Actuant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30, 2007 (the “Quarterly Report”), which describes significant developments since the filing of the 2007 Form 10-K, should be considered when reviewing the update to our 2007 Form 10-K.
