ITEM 9.  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

         As previously reported, on June 30, 2003, GenTek Inc. (the "Company")
and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together with the
Company, the "Debtors") filed their first proposed joint plan of
reorganization and related first proposed disclosure statement with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On
August 21, 2003, in response to formal and informal comments and objections
received from parties in interest, the Debtors filed their second proposed
joint plan of reorganization ("Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization") and
related second proposed disclosure statement ("Second Proposed Disclosure
Statement") with the Bankruptcy Court.

         A hearing to consider the adequacy of the Second Proposed Disclosure
Statement was held on August 25, 2003. At the hearing, the Debtors announced
additional revisions to the Second Proposed Plan of Reorganization (as
modified, the "Plan of Reorganization") and the Second Proposed Disclosure
Statement (as modified, the "Disclosure Statement"), and agreed to work with
certain parties in interest to resolve remaining issues as to the adequacy of
the Disclosure Statement. Upon certification of counsel as to the resolution
of such issues, the Bankruptcy Court on August 27, 2003 entered an order
approving the Disclosure Statement.

         On August 27, 2003, the Company issued a press release announcing the
Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Disclosure Statement in connection with the
Plan of Reorganization and the Bankruptcy Court's authorization for the Company
to begin soliciting votes with respect to the Plan of Reorganization from
those of its prepetition creditors who are entitled to vote. A copy of the
press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

         On August 28, 2003, the Debtors filed the final form of the Plan of
Reorganization and the related Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.
Copies of the Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement are attached
hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively.

         A hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on confirmation of the Plan of
Reorganization is currently scheduled for October 7, 2003.
