     Commercial Metals Company (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K for the purpose of conforming certain of its historical business segment information to reflect its realigned segment reporting structure, which the Company changed effective for the quarter ended November 30, 2007. The Company’s segments are as follows: Americas Recycling, Americas Mills, Americas Fabrication and Distribution, International Mills and International Fabrication and Distribution. The segment change is in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and reflects the manner in which the Company is currently managing its businesses.

     All updates to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K relate solely to the presentation of segment-specific disclosures on a basis consistent with the realigned segment reporting structure and have no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. All other information in the Annual Report on Form 10-K remains unchanged and has not been otherwise updated for events occurring after the date of the report. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (except for the items updated herein).
