Other Events.

On September 30, 2009, VeraSun Energy Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, including the Company, the “Debtors”), as required in connection with the Debtors’ cases (In re VeraSun Energy Corporation, et al., Case No. 08-12606 (BLS)) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), filed an unaudited consolidated Monthly Operating Report for the month ended August 31, 2009 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. A copy of the Monthly Operating Report is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The Monthly Operating Report was prepared solely for the purpose of complying with monthly reporting requirements, and in a format prescribed, under the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope and covers a limited time period and may not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for any period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or its periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The financial information that the Monthly Operating Report contains is preliminary and unaudited and is subject to revision. The financial statements in the Monthly Operating Report are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, valuations and disclosures. There can be no assurance that the information in the Monthly Operating Report is complete, and the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Monthly Operating Report. The information in the Monthly Operating Report is not, and should not be viewed as, indicative of future results.

Additional information regarding the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases, including access to court documents and other general information, is available through the Company’s web site at http://www.verasun.com by following the link to “REORGANIZATION INFORMATION” or at http://www.kccllc.net/verasun. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, such web sites is not part of this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In particular, statements by the Company regarding its chapter 11 reorganization process, as well as other statements of management’s expectations, anticipations, beliefs, plans, intentions, targets, estimates, or projections and similar expressions relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Forward-looking statements in some cases can be identified by their being preceded by, followed by or containing words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by the Company’s management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Company’s future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Some of the factors that may cause actual results, developments and business decisions to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statements include the following: the ability of the Company (which term, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, refers in this paragraph to VeraSun Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries) to fund the wind-down of its operations and the implementation of any plan of reorganization/liquidation; the Company’s ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 proceedings prosecuted by the Company from time to time; the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization/liquidation with respect to the chapter 11 cases; risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Company to propose and confirm one or more plans of reorganization/liquidation, for the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or to convert the bankruptcy cases to chapter 7 cases; and the potential adverse impact of the chapter 11 cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations. Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of any reorganization/liquidation plan ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the Company’s various pre-petition liabilities. No assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the chapter 11 proceeding to each of these constituencies. Accordingly, the Company urges that the appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these liabilities. The Company expects that, upon effectiveness of the plan of reorganization/liquidation, the Company’s common stock will be cancelled for no consideration.
