Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

As previously announced, on December 9, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) with Evraz Group S.A. (“ Evraz ”) and Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Evraz Group S.A. (the “ Purchaser ”), pursuant to which Evraz, through the Purchaser, commenced an offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “ Offer ”) at a purchase price of $23.50 per share in cash, without interest and less any applicable stock transfer taxes and withholding taxes (the “ Offer Price ”).

The Offer expired by its terms and was successfully completed at midnight, New York City time, on January 16, 2008. Upon expiration of the Offer, the Purchaser accepted for payment, in accordance with the terms of the Offer, all shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Purchaser advised the Company that, based upon information obtained by the Purchaser from the depositary for the Offer, a total of 16,974,649 shares of Common Stock (including shares delivered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 96.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer.

Following the acceptance for payment by the Purchaser of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, on January 24, 2008 (the “ Effective Time ”), the acquisition of the Company by Evraz was completed by means of a short-form merger of the Purchaser with and into the Company (the “ Merger ”), with the Company continuing its corporate existence under the name EOSM Investments, Inc. as the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Evraz, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law that authorize the completion of such a merger without a vote of the Company’s stockholders.


In the Merger, at the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Common Stock owned by Evraz, the Purchaser, or any subsidiary of Evraz or the Company or held in the treasury of the Company), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, subject to the rights of holders thereof to seek appraisal of the “fair value” of their shares of Common Stock by following the procedures required by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The amount of consideration and source of funds used by the Purchaser to acquire the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock is described in Item 12 of the Purchaser’s Schedule TO (as defined below) and related Offer to Purchase, dated December 18, 2007, as amended, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

The information set forth in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01 in its entirety.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 11, 2007 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01 in its entirety.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the directors of the Purchaser and the officers of the Company immediately prior thereto became the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their successors are duly elected or qualified or until their earlier death, permanent disability, resignation or removal. The information regarding the new directors of the Surviving Corporation (James E. Declusin, Guiseppe A. Mannina, Pavel Tatyanin and Timur Yanbukhtin) set forth in the Section 14(f) Information Statement of the Company attached as Annex I to the Schedule 14D-9 is incorporated in this Item 5.02 in its entirety by reference.
