Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant

On February 13, 2008, Goodman Global, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the completion of the acquisition of the Company by an investor group led by Hellman & Friedman LLC. A copy of the press release is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 21, 2007, by and among Chill Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), Chill Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and the Company, on February 13, 2008 Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, all publicly held shares of common stock of the Company (other than shares held by holders who have properly demanded and perfected their appraisal rights) were converted into the right to receive $25.60 in cash per share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, and holders of the Company’s common stock and stock options became entitled to receive Merger consideration in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.86 billion in cash from Holdings. As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Holdings, a majority of the stock of which is owned by investment funds affiliated with Hellman & Friedman LLC. Holdings is financing the purchase price for the canceled shares of Company common stock through a combination of equity and debt financing. In connection with the completion of the Merger, trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE Stock Market was suspended prior to the open of trading on February 14, 2008.
