Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 27, 2006, the board of directors of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (“IMPCO”) executed the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) by and among IMPCO, Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation (“Fuel Systems Solutions”), and IMPCO Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed solely for the purpose of consummating the reorganization. The Agreement, which is subject to the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of IMPCO, contemplates a reorganization of IMPCO’s capital structure into a holding company structure, pursuant to which IMPCO will ultimately become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuel Systems Solutions and the stockholders of IMPCO will exchange all of their shares of IMPCO for shares of Fuel Systems Solutions, as described in greater detail below. The effectiveness of the Agreement is also contingent upon Nasdaq’s approval of the listing of Fuel Systems Solutions’ common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 28, 2006, IMPCO announced it had filed a preliminary proxy statement and prospectus on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed reorganization of the company’s operating divisions, IMPCO and BRC, S.r.l., and the establishment of a newly formed holding company, Fuel Systems Solutions.

The reorganization, subject to approval by stockholders holding a majority of the company’s outstanding shares at an annual meeting to be set following clearance by the SEC, is intended to enhance the company’s ability to promote greater management accountability, corporate and individual performance, customer and supplier relationships and growth initiatives. The new entity, pending clearance by the SEC and approval by stockholders and Nasdaq, is expected to trade under a new trading symbol, “FSYS.”

As part of the proposed reorganization, IMPCO Technologies will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuel Systems Solutions, a Delaware company. Stockholders of IMPCO will receive one whole share of common stock of Fuel Systems Solutions in exchange for every two shares of IMPCO common stock owned at the time of the reorganization. Stockholders will receive cash for any fractional shares held equal to a proportionate interest in the gross proceeds of the sale on Nasdaq of the aggregate fractional shares.

All outstanding warrants to purchase IMPCO common stock will become warrants to purchase one whole share of Fuel Systems Solutions’ common stock for every two shares of IMPCO common stock subject to such warrant terms, with any fractional shares being treated in accordance with the warrant terms. All outstanding options to purchase IMPCO common stock will become options to purchase one whole share of Fuel Systems Solutions’ common stock for every two shares of IMPCO common stock subject to such option, with any fractional shares rounded-up to the nearest whole number. The exercise price of the warrants and options following the reorganization will be equal to twice the exercise price of such option and warrant, respectively, immediately prior to the reorganization.

The reorganization transaction is described in detail in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on June 27, 2006. That filing also includes the full text of the certificate of incorporation of Fuel Systems Solutions.

Additional items to be voted at the company’s annual meeting of stockholders will include: the adoption of a 2006 Incentive Bonus Plan, designed to provide cash and/or stock bonus incentives to all of the company’s employees worldwide; the election of three directors; and, the ratification of the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP as the company’s auditors to serve until its next annual meeting.

A copy of the press release announcing the filing of the Form S-4 and execution of the Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K.
