Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

On July 30, 2003, Superior TeleCom Inc. and its affiliated debtors and debtors-in-possession (the "Company") filed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") and a related Disclosure Statement with the United Stated Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). Copies of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of a press release issued by the Company relating to the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the Court approves the applicable Disclosure Statement relating to the Plan as providing adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and history of the debtor and the condition of the debtor's books and records, that would enable a hypothetical reasonable investor typical of the holder of claims or interests of the relevant class to make an informed judgment about the Plan. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Company will emerge from Chapter 11 if and when the Plan receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the Court.
