Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 16, 2008 by Tvia, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on October 15, 2008, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Proceeding”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division (the “Court”), in the proceeding titled In re: Tvia, Inc., Case No. 08-55860.

On January 6, 2009, the Court appointed a committee of equity security holders with respect to the Bankruptcy Proceeding (the “Equity Holders Committee”). On January 14, 2009, representatives of the Company met with the Equity Holders Committee and provided them with certain information regarding the status of the Bankruptcy Proceeding and the Company’s operational and strategic plans in connection with the Bankruptcy Proceeding. At this meeting, the Company explained that its primary goal was to liquidate the Company in as cost effective and prompt a manner as practicable. The Company further explained that it had commenced the Bankruptcy Proceeding because it had determined that this proceeding represented the course that would best accomplish this goal and enable the Company to distribute the maximum amount of assets to its stockholders after discharging its debts in full.
