On January 14, 2008, General Cable Corporation (the “Company”) filed Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment
No. 1”) on Form 8-K/A to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on November 1, 2007 (the “Initial Form 8-K”). Amendment No. 1 included pro
forma financial information for the period ended September 28, 2007 in addition to certain
financial statements which were permitted to be excluded from the Initial Form 8-K under Item 9.01
of Form 8-K. In the Initial Form 8-K, the Company reported, among other things, the completion on
October 31, 2007 of its acquisition of the equity interests in the companies conducting the
worldwide wire and cable business of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Initial Form 8-K amends and supplements the Initial
Form 8-K to include the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the
period ended December 31, 2007, which reflects the combined results of the Company and Phelps Dodge
International (“PDIC”) on a pro forma basis as though the companies had been combined as of the
beginning of the period. Further, an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is not
presented as the acquisition was reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as contained in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The Company and PDIC Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information are being filed
