TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on March 6, 2008 the Board of Directors of Cleveland-Cliffs Inc (the
“Company”) declared a two-for-one stock split of its common shares (the “Stock Split”). The record
date for the Stock Split was May 1, 2008 with a distribution date of May 15, 2008. As the Stock
Split was effective after the date of the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Form 10-K”), the audited consolidated financial
statements in the Form 10-K did not give effect to the Stock Split. Updated audited financial
statements for the three years ended December 31, 2007 and as of December 31, 2006 and December 31,
2007, which update the share and per share amounts for the Stock Split from the financial
statements originally filed with the Form 10-K, are filed herewith as Exhibit 99(a) and
incorporated herein by reference.
This Form 8-K does not reflect events or disclosures occurring after the filing of the Form
10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than as described
above.
