The Trustees have approved, effective December 31, 2007, an increase in the IRC payment percentage from 36.1% to 38.0%. The decision is based on the evaluation of updated information regarding claim filing trends, settlement values, asset performance, processing costs and other factors that determine what fraction of Eagle-Picher settlement value of each allowable claim the Trust can afford to pay. In determining the payment percentage for IRC claims, the Trustees relied upon the advice of their experienced actuarial and financial experts who have extensively worked with trusts similar to EPI.

In addition to the increase in the payment percentage, as part of Trust management's ongoing process of monitoring developments in the tort system and adjusting Individualized Review Claim ("IRC") settlement values, the Trustees have accepted a recommendation from Trust management to increase the relative average IRC valuation of mesothelioma and lung cancer injury claims starting with claims filed in 2008.
