Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Armor Holdings, Inc. (‘‘AHI’’) is voluntarily cooperating with a request for documents and data received from the U.S. Department of Justice (the ‘‘DOJ’’), which is reviewing the use of Zylon® ballistic fiber by the entire body armor industry, and a subpoena served by the U.S. General Services Administration for information relating to Zylon®. At a March 21, 2006 meeting, the DOJ proposed to enter into an agreement with AHI to toll the statute of limitations with regard to possible civil claims that the United States could assert against AHI with respect to certain body armor made by us which included Zylon®. As AHI previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2006, we entered into such a tolling agreement with the DOJ on March 27, 2006, which tolled the statute of limitations with respect to such possible claims for the period from March 21, 2006 through September 30, 2006. On September 26, 2006, we entered into an amendment to this tolling agreement with the DOJ that extends the period of the tolling agreement through January 31, 2007.
