Item 8.01.        Other Events.

 

On August 8, 2008, a purported class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan asserting claims under the federal securities laws against Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and three of its current or former senior officers, William Brick, Jimmy Weaver and Steven Janusek.  The complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose the existence of, and Reddy Ice’s alleged participation in, an alleged antitrust conspiracy in the packaged ice industry.  The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of the Company’s common stock between August 10, 2005 and March 6, 2008.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.
