Item 5. Other Events.
------------
On November 25, 1998, Loews Corporation (the "Company") filed a Current Report
on Form 8-K, dated November 23, 1998 (the "November 8-K"), which discussed an
agreement to settle the asserted and unasserted health care cost recovery and
certain other claims of 46 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern
Marianas. The November 8-K contained an inadvertent error in the paragraph
captioned "Public Disclosure." This Amendment is being filed solely to correct
such error. The corrected paragraph should read as follows:
"Public Disclosure
Until June 30, 2010, the Original Participating Manufacturers will maintain
their current Internet websites, which include documents produced in the
Minnesota health care cost recovery action. They will add to the websites
documents that were produced in the actions brought by the Settling States and
that are not subject to specified protection against disclosure, as well as
other specified documents."
