Item 8.01. Other Events
     On July 15, 2008, Vector Group Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a First Supplemental Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee and Collateral Agent (the “Trustee”), to amend the Indenture, dated as of August 16, 2007 (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and the Trustee, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2007.
     The Supplemental Indenture clarifies an internal inconsistency in the Indenture by revising Section 10.3 of the Indenture to allow for the automatic release of any liens on collateral upon dispositions of any such collateral in the ordinary course of business and upon dispositions of any such collateral that is no longer in use, damaged, worn-out, obsolete, uneconomic or no longer useful to the conduct of the business of the Company or the Guarantors.
     The foregoing summary of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is included as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
