Item 8.01 Other Events.
Georgia Gulf Corporations (GGC:NYSE) fourth quarter 2006 financial results will reflect the combined performance of its legacy chemical operations and Royal Groups building and home improvement operations, which were acquired on October 3, 2006. During the fourth quarter, Georgia Gulf will record a charge associated with a step-up in Royal Groups inventory value, in compliance with accounting standards related to business combinations. As a result of this charge, Georgia Gulf may not be in compliance with its interest coverage ratio under its Senior Credit Facility, in which event it would be in default under the agreement on March 16, 2007, the date its compliance certificate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 is due. Georgia Gulf is seeking a waiver to avoid this potential default and will be working with its lenders during the first quarter of 2007 to adjust the financial covenants on a going forward basis.
