Item 8.01. Other Events
On February 27, 2007, a purported class action lawsuit was filed challenging the terms of the unsolicited offer received from American Financial Group, Inc. ("AFG") to acquire all of the shares of the Company not owned by AFG. The suit also seeks to have the Court require the Company to follow certain procedures in considering the AFG offer. The suit names the Company and AFG as defendants as well as all persons serving as directors of the Company on February 22, 2007, the date the offer was received. The suit seeks injunctive relief but no monetary damages. The case is captioned Walter Webb v. Great American Financial Resources, Inc., et al., Case No. A0701905, Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, Ohio.
On February 28, 2007, a separate purported class action was filed that makes similar allegations against the same defendants as the case outlined immediately above. The suit seeks both injunctive relief and monetary damages. The case is captioned Call4U, Ltd. v. Carl H. Linder, et al., Case No. A0701929, Court of Common Pleas of Hamilton County, Ohio.
