| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On October 7, 2005, REMEC, Inc. (the Company) informed certain retired former officers of the Company that pursuant to the adoption of a plan of dissolution for the Company by the Companys shareholders, the Companys health care benefits for all employees and retirees would cease as of December 31, 2005. On May 11, 2006, the Company received written notice from two retired former officers asserting claims against the Company for lifetime medical benefits for these former officers, their spouses and minor children. The total of both claims exceeded $11.0 million. The Company denied these claims in total. On or about November 13, 2006, the Company and each of the former officers agreed to a private binding arbitration to resolve this dispute. A former spouse of one of the officers joined the arbitration to assert an individual claim. The arbitration hearing was held in San Diego, California on April 21st to 25th, 2008.
On May 14, 2008, the arbitrator issued an award to the parties, and determined that none of the claimants were entitled to any recovery from the Company.
The Companys Board of Directors will determine whether a liquidating distribution should be made to the Companys shareholders in consideration of this award at its next regularly scheduled meeting, set for June 17, 2008. If the Board elects to authorize a liquidating distribution, there is no assurance of the amount or timing of any such liquidating distribution.
