Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On November 7, 2006, BearingPoint, Inc. (the “Company’) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) with The Bank of New York, as trustee, which amends the subordinated indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Company’s 2.50% Series A Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2024 (the “Series A Debentures”) and 2.75% Series B Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2024 (the “Series B Debentures”). The First Supplemental Indenture includes a waiver of the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements under the Indenture through October 31, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, effective as of November 7, 2006: (i) the interest rate payable on the Series A Debentures will increase from 3.00% per annum to 3.10% per annum (inclusive of any liquidated damages relating to the failure to file a registration statement for the Series A Debentures that may be payable) until December 23, 2011, and (ii) the interest rate payable on the Series B Debentures will increase from 3.25% per annum to 4.10% per annum (inclusive of any liquidated damages relating to the failure to file a registration statement for the Series B Debentures that may be payable) until December 23, 2014. The increased interest rates apply to all Series A Debentures and Series B Debentures outstanding.
     Additionally, on November 7, 2006, the Company and the relevant holders of the Series B Debentures, who had alleged that the Company was in default under the Indenture, filed a stipulation to discontinue the lawsuit that was pending in New York State Supreme Court entitled The Bank of New York v. BearingPoint, Inc., Index No. 600169/06.
     The First Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
