Item 8.01.    Other Events

 

In 2008, Raser Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") issued $55 million aggregate principal amount of its 8% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2013 (the "Notes"). The terms of the Notes required the Company to make a semi-annual interest payment of $2.2 million on October 1, 2010.

The Company has not made the October 1, 2010 interest payment. However, pursuant to the March 26, 2008 Indenture Agreement (the "Indenture"), the Company has until October 31, 2010 to make the interest payment before there is an Event of Default under the Indenture that would permit the holders of the Notes to accelerate the maturity date or take any action to enforce the Notes.

At this time, the Company intends to make the October 1, 2010 interest payment on or before October 31, 2010 or to seek, from the holders of the Notes, a forbearance with regards to the interest payment and a modification of the Notes.

There can be no assurance that the Company will make the interest payment on or before October 31, 2010, or will obtain a forbearance of the October 1, 2010 interest payment from the holders of the Notes and/or any modification of the Notes or the terms upon which any such forbearance or modification agreement will be reached, or that any requisite consents will be obtained or requisite conditions will be satisfied.
