Item 8.01. Other Events

On March 31, 2008 Alliance One International AG (“AOI AG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance One International, Inc. amended the agreements governing its trade accounts receivables securitization facility. Under that facility, AOI AG sells, from time to time on a non-recourse basis, certain trade receivables from customers to a third party buyer affiliated with Finacity Corporation, who obtains funding from a bank-sponsored commercial paper conduit loan. AOI AG initially entered into the securitization facility in 2006. The March 2008 amendments to the facility increase the loan commitment from the bank-sponsored commercial paper conduit to $100 million from $55 million, extend the maturity of the facility 3.5 years through March 2013 and improve pricing.
