Item 1.01.

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2007, Koppers Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Company, Saratoga Partners III, L.P., Saratoga Partners III C.V. (Saratoga Partners III, L.P. and Saratoga Partners III C.V. are collectively referred to in this Current Report as “Saratoga”), the Management Selling Stockholders as set forth in Schedule C annexed thereto (together with Saratoga, the “Selling Shareholders”), and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Underwriter”), as the underwriter, in connection with a secondary offering of 1,610,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter also has a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 241,500 shares of common stock from Saratoga to cover over-allotments, if any.

All of the shares are currently issued and outstanding. Of the total offering, 1,500,000 shares are being sold by Saratoga, which, after the consummation of the proposed offering, will own approximately 12% of the Company’s outstanding shares, excluding the effect of shares sold for over-allotments, if any.

The Management Selling Shareholders, including president and chief executive officer Walter W. Turner, are selling an aggregate of 110,000 shares with no over-allotment provision. Mr. Turner is selling 50,000 shares, representing approximately 13% of his total beneficial ownership of the Company, for asset diversification purposes.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale.

The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and is incorporated by reference herein.
