Item 8.01 Other Items.

    On September 11, 2007, we received a letter from the United States Department of Justice, or DOJ, disclosing that it is conducting an investigation of "potential antitrust violations" in the STPP (sodium tripolyphospates) industry. The letter was delivered together with a grand jury subpoena issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California to produce documents relating to our STPP business focusing on the period from January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005.  We have since learned that one or more other STPP producers also received the subpoena.

    We intend to cooperate fully and timely with the DOJ investigation.

    We acquired our STPP business from affiliates of Rhodia S.A. in August 2004 as part of an acquisition transaction that included other aspects of the North American specialty phosphates business.
