Item 8.01	Other Events

Sauer-Danfoss Inc. (the “Company”) announced today that it will not hold the special meeting of stockholders that was planned for May 1, 2008 (the “Special Meeting”).  Although the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Special Meeting on March 19, 2008 (the “Preliminary Proxy Statement”), the Company has not filed a definitive proxy statement or begun soliciting proxies with respect to the Special Meeting.  This Form 8-K is being filed to inform stockholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission that the Special Meeting will not be held and that the Preliminary Proxy Statement is hereby withdrawn and should not be relied upon.

The Special Meeting was to have been held for the purpose of adopting an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), the adoption of which is a condition to the still-pending transaction by which Sauer Holding GmbH proposes to sell a controlling interest in the Company to Danfoss A/S.  The Company’s board of directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to submit the Amendment to the stockholders to be voted upon at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, which is to be held on June 12, 2008.  The Company intends to file its preliminary proxy statement for the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders on or about April 11, 2008.
