Item 1.01

 

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective June 19, 2008, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “ Amendment ”) to its Rights Agreement, dated as of September 15, 1998, previously amended as of December 31, 2002, and amended as of April 30, 2001 (collectively, the “ Rights Agreement “), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., f/k/a EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. successor rights agent to Fleet National Bank, f/k/a BankBoston, N.A., a national banking association (the “Rights Agent “).

 

The Amendment amends the definition of “Acquiring Person” to permit any person to be or become the beneficial owner of common stock of the Company of up to 17 1 / 2 % of the shares of common stock then outstanding without becoming an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) and thus triggering the Rights Agreement.  The Amendment also effects certain technical clarifications and corrections to Sections 1, 21 and adds new Section 35 providing for a force majeure provision.

 

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Rights Plan and the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to those documents.

 

Item 3.03

 

Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

As indicated under Item 1.01 above, the Company and the Rights Agent have entered into the Amendment.  The Amendment modifies certain rights of holders of the Rights issued under the Rights Plan. The description of such modifications contained in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.
