ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

 
On August 29, 2014, Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Annual Report”). The 2014 Annual Report contained certain information related to the Company’s acquisition of Silicon Technology (Pty) Ltd. (“Siltech”). The Siltech acquisition was recorded as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed provisionally recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2014 Annual Report included the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Siltech as of June 30, 2014.  As noted in the 2014 Annual Report, the preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon preliminary calculations, valuations and assumptions that were subject to change as the Company obtained additional information during the measurement period. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, adjustments, which primarily related to the finalization of an environmental remediation obligation assumed (the adjustment was recorded to Other long-term liabilities), were made to the preliminary purchase accounting amounts recorded in the 2014 Annual Report. Consequently, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements and financial data included within the 2014 Annual Report (collectively, the “Acquisition Revisions”).

 
This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) updates the following items that were originally included in the 2014 Annual Report solely to reflect the Acquisition Revisions noted above:

·
Part II, Item Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, attached hereto as part of Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
This Current Report is being filed only for the purposes described above. All other information in the 2014 Annual Report remains unchanged. This Current Report does not modify or update the disclosures in the 2014 Annual Report beyond as described above, nor does it reflect any other subsequent information or events.
