Item 8.01

Other Events

On November 9, 2004, Osiris Corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Thomas Ventures, Inc. (“Ventures”) entered into agreements with Laurus Master Funds, Ltd, a Cayman Islands corporation ("Laurus"), pursuant to which the Company sold convertible debt, an option and a warrant to purchase common stock of the Company to Laurus in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended  (the “Laurus Agreement”).  The Laurus Agreement was amended and supplemented from time to time and as of May 1, 2009, total indebtedness including interest owing to Valens US SP I, LLC, assignee of Laurus, amounted to approximately $73.5 million.  All of such debt was secured by a pledge of the Company’s assets, including the capital stock of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (i) Thomas Equipment Inc. (formerly known as Thomas Equipment 2004 Inc.), organized under the laws of Canada, and (ii) Pneutech-Rousseau Inc., a corporation amalgamated under the laws of Canada (resulting from the amalgamation of Pneutech Inc., Rousseau Controls Inc. and Hydramen Fluid Power Limited) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).  The Subsidiaries constitute substantially all of the Company’s operations.

On or about September 2008, the Company stopped making required interest payments to Laurus, which constituted a default under the Laurus Agreement.  On May 9, 2009, the Company received a notice dated May 7, 2009 from LV Administrative Services, Inc., as agent for the secured party.  Pursuant to the notice, the secured party stated its intent to conduct a public sale of the capital stock of the Subsidiaries on May 27, 2009.  No such public sale was conducted on May 27, 2009.  On June 2, 2009, the Company was notified that the public sale was being postponed.  The Company anticipates that the sale will still be conducted by Laurus, but no sale date has been set as of the date hereof.

A copy of the Notice of disposition of Collateral by Secured Party, dated as of May 7, 2009, was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K dated May 9, 2009, and such notice is incorporated herein by reference.
