Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On July 29, 2005, Tower Automotive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), together with its
domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed their Monthly Operating Report covering
the period from June 1, 2005 to June 30, 2005 (the “Monthly Operating Report”), with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). A copy of
the Monthly Operating Report is attached to, and incorporated by reference in, this Current Report
on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been
prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the
Bankruptcy Court. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries have not filed for bankruptcy protection, and
financial information regarding such foreign subsidiaries is not included with the Monthly
Operating Report. The financial information in the Monthly Operating Report is unaudited and does
not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and therefore excludes items required
by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, and disclosure items. The
Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the Monthly Operating Report. There can
be no assurance that such information is complete. The Monthly Operating Report may be subject to
revision. The Monthly Operating Report is in a format required by the Bankruptcy Code and should
not be used for investment purposes. The information in the Monthly Operating Report should not be
viewed as indicative of future results.
The Monthly Operating Report is being furnished for informational purposes only and is not deemed
“filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section. Registration statements or other documents filed with
the SEC shall not incorporate the Monthly Operating Report or any other information set forth in
this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
