Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 30, 2007, Tower Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), together with its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed their Monthly Operating Report covering the month ended February 28, 2007 (the “Monthly Operating Report”), with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). A copy of the Monthly Operating Report is attached to, and incorporated by reference in, this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have not filed for bankruptcy protection, and financial information regarding such foreign subsidiaries is not included with the Monthly Operating Report. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Report is unaudited and does not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and therefore excludes items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, and disclosure items. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the Monthly Operating Report. There can be no assurance that such information is complete. The Monthly Operating Report may be subject to revision. The Monthly Operating Report is in a format required by the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The information in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
The Monthly Operating Report is being furnished for informational purposes only and is not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Registration statements or other documents filed with the SEC shall not incorporate the Monthly Operating Report or any other information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
