Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company (or entities in which the Company has interests), or industry results, to differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which reflect management’s view only as of the date of this Form 8-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstance after the date hereof or to reflect the

ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
In 2007, the Company instituted a legal complaint against a former insurer, seeking reimbursement of amounts paid in defense of a law suit that was brought against the Company in 2004. As of March 2, 2012, the Company agreed to settle its lawsuit and entered into a definitive settlement agreement with the former insurer for reimbursement of defense costs incurred by the Company in the 2004 law suit and attorneys’ fees incurred in the coverage action. The settlement agreement provides for a payment of $4,700,000 to the Company by insurer within 20 days of the effective date of the agreement. In exchange, the Company released all claims against the insurer arising out of the class action litigation and the coverage litigation, and further agreed to dismiss the coverage litigation currently pending in court. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the insurer against any claims that may be brought against the insurer by the Company’s former corporate parent, Mestek, Inc. with respect to the claims released in the settlement agreement.
