ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On May 18, 2004, GenTek Inc. (the Company") sold its KRONE
communications business ("KRONE") to ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("ADC").
KRONE is a global provider of products, systems and services for local and wide
area data and communications networks. The final purchase price included $294
million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and the assumption of
approximately $56 million of pension- and employee-related liabilities by ADC.
The purchase price and other terms of the transaction were determined as a
result of arm's length negotiations.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

         (b) Pro forma financial information.

         The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been
derived from the Company's historical financial statements. The pro forma
balance sheet has been prepared on the basis that the sale transaction occurred
on March 31, 2004. The pro forma statements of operations have been prepared on
the basis that the sale transaction occurred at the beginning of the period
presented. In addition, the pro forma statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2003 has been prepared by combining the periods before and
after the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and assuming that the Company had
adopted fresh start accounting as of the beginning of 2003.

         This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes
only and does not necessarily represent what the Company's financial position
or results of operations would have been if the sale transaction had occurred
on such date, or as of the beginning of such periods, and is not necessarily
indicative of our financial position or results of operations for any future
date or period.

ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On May 18, 2004, GenTek Inc. (the Company") sold its KRONE
communications business ("KRONE") to ADC Telecommunications, Inc. ("ADC").
KRONE is a global provider of products, systems and services for local and wide
area data and communications networks. The final purchase price included $294
million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments, and the assumption of
approximately $56 million of pension- and employee-related liabilities by ADC.
The purchase price and other terms of the transaction were determined as a
result of arm's length negotiations.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

         (b) Pro forma financial information.

         The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been
derived from the Company's historical financial statements. The pro forma
balance sheet has been prepared on the basis that the sale transaction occurred
on March 31, 2004. The pro forma statements of operations have been prepared on
the basis that the sale transaction occurred at the beginning of the period
presented. In addition, the pro forma statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2003 has been prepared by combining the periods before and
after the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and assuming that the Company had
adopted fresh start accounting as of the beginning of 2003.

         This pro forma information is presented for informational purposes
only and does not necessarily represent what the Company's financial position
or results of operations would have been if the sale transaction had occurred
on such date, or as of the beginning of such periods, and is not necessarily
indicative of our financial position or results of operations for any future
date or period.
