Item 8.01.                Other Events.
 
On February 15, 2008, Insituform Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received proceeds in the amount of $4.5 million in connection with the settlement of Insituform Technologies, Inc. et al. v. Cat Contracting et al., which matter was pending in the United States District Court in Houston, Texas.  In 1990, the Company initiated proceedings against Cat Contracting, Inc., Michigan Sewer Construction Company, Inc. and Inliner U.S.A., Inc. (subsequently renamed FirstLiner USA, Inc.), along with another party, alleging infringement of certain in-liner Company patents. In August 1999, the Court found that one of the Company’s patents was willfully infringed and awarded $9.5 million in damages. After subsequent appeals, the finding of infringement was affirmed, but the award of damages and finding of willfulness were subject to rehearing.   A trial on these issues was held in 2006.  In September 2007, the Court found that the defendants did not willfully infringe.  The Court, in its ruling, also asked the Company to submit a calculation of damages, including prejudgment interest.  In December 2007, the Company submitted to the Court a damages calculation of $9.6 million, inclusive of prejudgment interest.  At the time of the settlement, the Court had not entered a final judgment.
