This Form 8-K filing by CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (CBRE) on April 2, 2009, serves as a Regulation FD disclosure, announcing the upcoming release of its 2008 business activity statistics.
These statistics, primarily intended for internal marketing use, were scheduled for release on April 2, 2009. The filing itself does not contain detailed financial results but rather notifies investors of the availability of these operational metrics.

However, they offer a snapshot of the company's performance and market activity during 2008, providing context for the company's operational landscape during that period.
