Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

In a registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today by our parent company, KI Holdings Inc., to exchange its outstanding 9 7/8% Senior Discount Notes Due 2014 for substantially identical registered notes, KI Holdings Inc. made the following risk factor disclosure:

Koppers Arch Wood Protection (NZ) Ltd (“Koppers Arch New Zealand”) is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the New Zealand Commerce Commission (“NZ Commerce Commission”) regarding industry competitive practices. Koppers Arch New Zealand manufactures and markets wood preservative products throughout New Zealand. Koppers Arch New Zealand is cooperating with the NZ Commerce Commission’s investigation. The NZ Commerce Commission has the authority to penalize companies that have violated New Zealand’s competition laws. Such penalties, if assessed against Koppers Arch New Zealand, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. For example, the NZ Commerce Commission has the authority to assess fines equal to the higher of (i) $NZ10,000,000, (ii) three times the commercial gain from the contravention or (iii) 10% of the turnover of Koppers Arch New Zealand and all interconnected companies. Similarly, Koppers Arch Wood Protection (Aust) Pty Ltd (“Koppers Arch Australia”), an affiliate of Koppers Arch New Zealand, has made an application for leniency under the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (“ACCC”) policy for cartel conduct. The ACCC has confirmed that Koppers Arch Australia satisfies the requirements of its leniency program and the conditions attaching to Koppers Arch Australia’s leniency application are expected to be determined shortly. In the event such leniency application is not granted, the ACCC may penalize Koppers Arch Australia for any violations of the competition laws of Australia. Such penalties, if assessed against Koppers Arch Australia, could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Koppers Arch New Zealand and Koppers Arch Australia are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Koppers Arch Investments Pty Ltd, which is an Australian joint venture owned 51% by Worldwide Ventures Corporation and 49% by Hickson Nederland BV.
