Item 8.01.

Other Events.

Masco Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect certain changes described below with respect to the financial information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2013. Other than as described below, the information in this Form 8-K is not an amendment to or restatement of the 2012 Form 10-K.

As previously disclosed, the Company has determined that Tvilum, its Danish ready-to-assemble cabinet business (“Tvilum”) is no longer core to its long-term growth strategy and has embarked on a plan to dispose of this business. Tvilum has been accounted for as a discontinued operation which requires that prior period information be recast to remove Tvilum’s results of operations from the results of the Company’s continuing operations. Tvilum was reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2013. Attached as exhibits to this Form 8-K are the following Form 10-K items recast to reflect the impact of Tvilum as a discontinued operation on the Company’s consolidated financial information:

 

•

Part II, Item 6 – Selected Financial Data

 

•

Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

•

Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

•

Schedule II – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts

Other than as described above, all other items in the 2012 Form 10-K remain unchanged, and this Form 8-K does not update Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2012 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management. The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Form 10-K.
