Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 2, 2008, Grey Wolf, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 24, 2008 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Precision Drilling Trust ("Precision"), Precision Corporation and Precision Lobos Corporation.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable by Precision is a maximum cash amount of approximately $1.115 billion and approximately 42.0 million Precision trust units. The Amendment modifies the Merger Agreement to clarify the intention of the parties that to the extent holders of the Company's convertible notes do not convert their notes into shares of the Company's common stock prior to the merger, the cash merger consideration that would have been paid to them will be retained by Precision to be used towards the purchase price if those holders require Precision to repurchase their notes following the merger. The Amendment also ensures that holders of Company's common stock will receive, in the aggregate $5.00 in cash and 0.1883 of a Precision trust unit for each share of common stock, on a fully diluted basis, although the actual amount received by each holder will depend on their election (or non-election) and the actions of all other holders of Company's common stock.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
The Company and Precision issued a press release on December 2, 2008, announcing the Amendment and the postponement of the Company's special meeting of shareholders from December 9, 2008 to December 23, 2008, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The deadline for shareholders to make an election will remain 5:00 p.m. Houston, Texas time on the second business day prior to the effective time of the merger. The Company and Precision anticipate that the merger will close on December 23, 2008, promptly after the Company's special meeting of shareholders. The Company and Precision will publicly announce the anticipated election deadline at least five
