Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 13, 2011, Exide Technologies (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the
pricing of its previously announced offering of $675.0 million in aggregate principal amount of
85/8% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Notes”), through a private placement. The closing of the
offering of the Notes is expected to occur on or about January 25, 2011 and is conditioned upon the
Company concurrently entering into a new senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, as
well as other customary conditions.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference
herein.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Notes will be offered inside the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in
reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United
States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.
