Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 15, 2007, REX Stores Corporation (the "Company"), through a
wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to subscribe for a minimum of
$35.1 million and a maximum of $62.4 million of Membership Units of One Earth
Energy, LLC ("One Earth") in a registered offering. This replaces the Company's
prior commitment to fund $24.9 million in One Earth. One Earth intends to
commence construction, beginning in 2007, of an ethanol manufacturing facility
with an annual production capacity of 100 million gallons in Gibson City,
Illinois. REX's commitment will enable it to secure a majority ownership
interest in One Earth, the percentage of which will be determined based upon the
participation by other investors in the offering.
In addition, REX has entered into a conditional agreement with One Earth to fund
up to an additional $6.0 million in interim financing in the form of secured
debt, bearing an interest rate of 9% per annum. The interim funding is intended
to allow One Earth to proceed with the development and construction schedule for
its ethanol production facility.
