Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has been notified by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “Division”) that documents and materials seized by the Division or provided to the Division by the Company in connection with the criminal investigation of the packaged ice industry will be returned to the Company.  This action by the Division normally indicates the conclusion of an investigation, and counsel for the Company has been advised that the criminal investigation into antitrust violations in the packaged ice industry has been formally closed by the Division.

 

In light of the conclusion of the criminal investigation into the packaged ice industry and the determination by the Division to take no action against the Company or any of its current or former employees, the special committee of the Board of Directors, formed on March 6, 2008 in response to that investigation, has been formally disbanded, effective January 3, 2011.

 

Ben D. Key, former Executive Vice President — Sales and Marketing, has voluntarily resigned from the Company; his resignation is effective as of February 28, 2011.
