On January 9, 2013 certain members of EME management are scheduled to meet with certain of EME’s unsecured noteholders and the noteholders’ financial advisor, Houlihan Lokey, and legal advisor, Ropes & Gray LLP, to discuss EME’s business. At the meeting, EME intends to discuss certain cash flow forecasts attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Accordingly, the information in this item will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by EME or any related entity under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference therein. By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, EME makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in Item 7.01 of this report.
