Item 8.01.    Other Events
 
On June 17, 2005, CellStar Corporation (the "Company") announced a proposal to sell up to $50.0 million of convertible debentures (the "Debentures"), and, on June 16, 2005, the Company signed a letter of intent to sell up to $25.0 million of the Debentures to Stanford Financial Group Company and its affiliates ("Stanford").   Stanford is acting on its own behalf. In its press release dated June 17, 2005, the Company incorrectly reported that Stanford is acting as financial advisor to Alan H. Goldfield, the founder and former Chairman and CEO of the Company. The Company has not yet entered into any letter of intent for the sale of the balance of the Debentures.   

The Debentures would have a four-year term with a coupon rate of 8% and would be convertible into the Company's common stock at $4.00 a share. For each $1000.00 of Debentures, the Company would issue warrants to purchase 192 shares exercisable at $0.01 per share, with a five-year term. The Debentures would be subordinate to the Company's senior credit facility and 12% senior subordinated notes due January of 2007.

The letter of intent is non-binding, and the final terms of the definitive agreements are contingent upon, among other conditions, the satisfactory results of Stanford's due diligence investigation of the Company, the prevailing securities market conditions at the time of the closing of the proposed transaction, the election of Mr. Goldfield as the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the election of three persons named by Mr. Goldfield to serve on the Company's five-member Board of Directors, and certain agreements between Mr. Goldfield and Stanford. Stanford is aware of the on-going review in the Company's Asia Pacific Region by the Company's Audit Committee. It is anticipated that the due diligence examination will commence immediately and that the closing will be held on, or the efforts toward concluding a transaction will terminate by, July 31, 2005.

There can be no assurance that the parties will be successful in negotiating a definitive agreement or consummating the proposed transaction. The Debentures will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The press release dated June 17, 2005, revised to delete the incorrect statement described above, is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
