Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 1, 2010, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (excluding its mortgage brokerage subsidiary, Alambry Funding, Inc., certain joint venture subsidiaries and certain other subsidiaries) (collectively, the :”Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United State Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Chapter 11 case have been consolidated solely on an administrative basis under lead case No. 10-10684 (PJW) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

On June 18, 2010, Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from a group of its senior lenders (the “Lender Group”) collectively holding (or that will, once pending trades have settled, hold collectively) in excess of 80% of the amount of debt outstanding under the Debtors’ Debtor-in-Possession Loan Agreement (“DIP Loan Agreement”) and under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Agreement, each as amended, expressing their support for a proposed Short-Term Incentive Plan for certain members of the Company’s management team (the “Short-Term Incentive Plan”).

Under the terms of the proposed Short-Term Incentive Plan, certain members of management and employees the Company believes are critical to the Company’s ability to maintain operations during the Chapter 11 Cases and to emerge successfully from bankruptcy would be eligible to receive a specified bonus payment. Some of the Short-Term Incentive Plan beneficiaries would be entitled to receive the full amount of the specified bonus payment as of the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization for the Debtors (the “Chapter 11 Plan”) if the beneficiary is employed by the Company on the Effective Date or was terminated without cause prior to the Effective Date. Certain other beneficiaries would be entitled to receive 50% of the specified bonus payment upon the Effective Date and the remainder 180 days after the Effective Date, if the beneficiary remained employed by the Company on each date or was terminated without cause prior to either date. The total amount of these bonuses is approximately $3.4 million and approximately 42 employees would be eligible to receive the bonuses, including discretionary bonuses to Jeffrey P. Orleans, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Benjamin D. Goldman, Vice Chairman, receipt of which is subject, among other things, to the approval of a majority of the revolving lenders under the DIP Loan Agreement.

The Company intends to include the proposed Short-Term Incentive Plan in its Chapter 11 Plan the Debtors anticipate filing with the Bankruptcy Court and anticipates that the Short-Term Incentive Plan will not be effective unless a Chapter 11 Plan is confirmed (but, may be otherwise effected as discussed below). Any such Chapter 11 Plan will be subject to confirmation in Bankruptcy Court proceedings and there is no guarantee that the Debtors will be successful in their attempts to obtain approval of any Chapter 11 Plan.

In their June 18, 2010 letter, the Lender Group (which includes their successors and assigns) stated that it will support approval of the Short-Term Incentive Plan described above in connection with confirmation of a Chapter 11 Plan and will take such actions as will be reasonably necessary or appropriate to incorporate the terms of the Short-Term Incentive Plan into the Chapter 11 Plan and to obtain approval thereof. The Lender Group further stated that if, for any reason, a Chapter 11 Plan is confirmed and the Short-Term Incentive Plan is not approved in connection with such a Chapter 11 Plan and the Lender Group directly or indirectly owns the reorganized Company, the Lender Group will cause the reorganized Company to pay the amounts as contemplated by the Short-Term Incentive Plan.
