Item 8.01 Other Events

Worthington Cylinders Wisconsin, LLC (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant"),  has been involved in a dispute with a customer, the  Irwin Tool (d/b/a  BernzOmatic) division of Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. ("BernzOmatic"), relating to a three-year supply contract (the “Contract”) effective January 1, 2006, which the Company terminated as of March 1, 2007.  The dispute relates primarily to the Company’s early termination of the Contract as a result of certain actions of BernzOmatic which the Company believed breached the Contract, and the resulting price increases charged to BernzOmatic during 2007 and 2008 after such early termination.  As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company deferred $9.3 million of revenue relating to the price increases, which effectively created a reserve in that amount relating to this dispute.

The dispute was litigated in Federal District Court in Charlotte, North Carolina.  On February 26, 2010, the jury awarded contract damages relating to the price increases and other items to BernzOmatic of approximately $13.0 million, which is $3.7 million in excess of the revenue recognition reserve.  The Company expects to record this $3.7 million pre-tax charge in its results for the fiscal third quarter ended February 28, 2010.

The Company believes that it has numerous grounds to appeal the jury's verdict, and intends to vigorously pursue such an appeal.

The Company expects that payment of the jury award will be stayed pending appeal and will post any bond necessary to effect such a stay.
