Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Per—Olof Loof, Chief Executive Officer and William M. Lowe, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of KEMET Corporation (the “Company”) are scheduled to provide certain investor presentations, including an investor presentation commencing at approximately 11:00 am on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The slide package prepared by the Company for use in connection with this presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. All of the information in the presentation is presented as of September 14, 2011, and the Company does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future.
The information included in this Form 8-K, as well as the exhibit referenced herein, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the presentation, Mr. Loof will confirm the Company’s previous guidance regarding the revenue forecast range for the September 2011 quarter. Mr. Loof will also reinforce comments from the Company’s last earnings call (available at http://www.kemet.com/ir) that gross margins are projected to remain under pressure in the Tantalum business unit, causing consolidated gross margins to soften (using the March 2011 quarter as a reference point) and that the distribution channel is expected to continue to correct its excess inventory position. The Company will provide guidance for the December quarter during its second quarter earnings call on October 27, 2011.
