Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 30, 2008, Wellman Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the seventh amendment of its senior secured superpriority debtor in possession credit agreement dated February 26, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries, as borrowers, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders that from time to time become party thereto. Under the default provisions in Section 9.1(i)(xvi) of the Credit Agreement as amended, it would have been an event of default if the Company had not obtained a fully underwritten commitment for exit financing by July 30, 2008. The letter agreement amended the Credit Agreement so that the deadline for the commitment for exit financing is August 4, 2008. The letter agreement does not amend any other section of the Credit Agreement.
