Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 5, 2006, Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, in connection with its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of its outstanding 7.70% Notes due April 15, 2009, CUSIP Nos. 817565AX2, 817565AV6 and 817565AW4 (the “Notes”), which commenced September 7, 2006, the Company has further extended the time by which holders must tender Notes in response to the tender offer. The tender offer, previously set to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2006, will now expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 13, 2006, unless otherwise extended or earlier terminated. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Nothing in this report should be construed as an offer to purchase the Notes, as such offer is only being made upon the terms and is subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 7, 2006 and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent.
