Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously announced, on November 17, 2014, the Company filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (1) a proposed plan of reorganization (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Proposed Plan") and (2) a related proposed disclosure statement (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Proposed Disclosure Statement"). The Proposed Plan is consistent with that certain plan support agreement (the "PSA") entered into among the Company and with the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Exide’s senior secured notes on November 4, 2014.

On December 11, 2014, the Company announced that it entered into an amended and extended plan support agreement (the "Amended PSA") that extended the deadline to enter into the backstop commitment agreement under the existing PSA from December 10, 2014 to January 12, 2015. The Amended PSA is substantially similar to the PSA, which was attached to the Company’s Form 8-K report filed on November 5, 2014.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release issued by the Company.
