ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
     As previously disclosed, on February 25, 2007, USG Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, L&W Supply Corporation (“L&W”), entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Joseph Zucchero (the “Seller”) and California Wholesale Material Supply, Inc., Distribuidora CalPly de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., E Foam Corp., Southwest Install and Rework, Inc. and Stockdale Material Company, Inc. (collectively “CALPLY”) pursuant to which L&W agreed to purchase from the Seller, or entities owned or controlled by the Seller, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of CALPLY. CALPLY is a building materials distribution company with 30 operating locations in seven western states and Mexico. CALPLY sells building products and provides services to acoustical contractors, drywall contractors, plaster contractors, roofing companies, manufactured housing companies, countertop fabricators, government institutions and exporters.
