Item 8.01. Other Events
On March 17, 2006, Metromedia International Group, Inc. (the "Company")
announced that the Company is unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (the "2005 Form 10-K"). The
filing of the Company's 2004 Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2005 (the "2005
Quarterly Reports") with the SEC, along with the Company's completion of its
work effort for compliance with Section 404, "Management Assessment of Internal
Controls" of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for corporate headquarters, are a
prerequisite for the filing of the 2005 Form 10-K.
At present, the Company cannot predict with confidence when it will file
either the 2004 Form 10-K or the 2005 Quarterly Reports and thus the 2005 Form
10-K.
The press release announcing this matter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
and is incorporated herein by reference.
