Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
     By a press release issued on July 26, 2011, the registrant, The Hallwood Group Incorporated (“Hallwood Group”, announced that the court in Ray Balestri, Trustee of the Hallwood Energy I Creditors’ Trust, as successor in interest to Hallwood Energy, L.P., Plaintiffs and FEI Shale L.P. and Hall Phoenix/Inwood Ltd., Plaintiffs in Intervention vs. The Hallwood Group Incorporated, Defendant; Adversary No. 09-03082-SGJ has issued Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in the matter. The court proposed that the United States District Court award damages of $3,200,000 to be allocated among the three plaintiffs and damages of $15,485,714 to FEI Shale L.P., plus in each case prejudgment and postjudgment interest and attorneys’ fees. The proposed awards are not final.
