Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 18, 2010, Carlos E. Agüero, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Metalico, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (the “Agüero Plan”) with a broker as part of his personal long-term asset diversification, tax and financial planning strategy. On June 21, 2010, Infrastructure & Environmental Private Equity Fund III, LP (“IEPEF”) and Environmental & Information Technology Private Equity Fund III (“EITPEF”), venture capital funds for which one of the Company’s directors, Bret R. Maxwell is a common ultimate controlling party as managing general partner, entered into separate Rule 10b5-1 trading plans (the “IEPEF Plan” and the “EITPEF Plan,” respectively, and each a “Fund Plan”) with a broker as part of each fund’s individual long-term asset diversification, tax and financial planning strategies, including anticipated obligations to their respective investors as each fund matures.

Under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, directors, officers and other employees who are not in possession of material non-public information may adopt a pre-arranged plan or contract for the sale of Company securities under specified conditions and at specified times. Using these 10b5-1 plans, stockholders can gradually diversify their investment portfolios, spread stock trades out over an extended period of time to reduce market impact, and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public information.

Under the Agüero Plan, the broker may sell a specified amount of Company stock each month on the open market at prevailing market prices, beginning after August 2, 2010, provided that the price per share is at or above a price specified in the Agüero Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be sold during the duration of the Agüero Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to approximately 16% of Mr. Agüero’s total equity holdings as of June 18, 2010 (including vested and unvested stock options). The Agüero Plan will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the close of business on July 29, 2011, (ii) the date as of which Mr. Agüero provides one business day’s prior written notice to the broker of the termination of the Agüero Plan, (iii) the completion of all sales contemplated by the Agüero Plan, and (iv) other termination provisions specified in the Agüero Plan. Mr. Aguero will have no control over the stock sales under the Plan.

Under each Fund Plan, the broker may sell a specified amount of Company stock each week on the open market (not to exceed a specified amount of Company stock per month) at prevailing market prices, beginning after July 21, 2010, provided that the price per share is at or above a price specified in the Fund Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be sold during the duration of each Fund Plan, in the aggregate, is equal to approximately 31% of the applicable venture capital fund’s total equity holdings as of June 21, 2010. Neither fund holds any equity interests in the Company other than common stock. Each Fund Plan will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the close of business on July 21, 2011, (ii) the date as of which the applicable fund provides two business days’ prior written notice to the broker of the termination of such Fund Plan, (iii) the completion of all sales contemplated by such Fund Plan, and (iv) other termination provisions specified in the Fund Plans. Mr. Maxwell shares authority on trading decisions with other controlling parties of IEPEF and EITPEF. Neither he nor such other controlling parties will have any control over the stock sales under the Fund Plans.

The summaries of the Agüero Plan, the IEPEF Plan and the EITPEF Plan (each a “Plan”) set forth above are not intended to be comprehensive descriptions of the terms of such Plans. Each Plan is intended to comply with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy and with the provisions of Rule 10b5-1. Transactions under the Plans will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. The Company does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced trading plan, except to the extent required by law.
