Item 5. Other Events
On May 27, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two-
for-one split of the Company's common stock, without par value, (the
"Common Stock") to be effected in the form of a dividend (the "Stock
Split"). The additional shares of Common Stock will be distributed on
June 24, 1994 to holders of record of the Common Stock on June 7, 1994.
As a result of the Stock Split, certain computational adjustments
are required under the Company's Shareholder Rights Agreement (the
"Rights Agreement") dated as of December 13, 1988, between the Company
and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Rights Agent, which provides
Preferred Share (as defined in the Agreement) purchase rights ("Rights")
to holders of Common Stock. Pursuant to the provisions of the Rights
Agreement, (a) the Redemption Price (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
has been adjusted from $0.005 per Right to $0.0025 per Right; and (b)
the number of Preferred Shares purchasable upon proper exercise of each
Right has been adjusted from one two-hundredth of a Preferred Share to
one four-hundredth of a Preferred Share.
On May 27, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of Common Stock (on a pre-
stock split basis) payable on June 17, 1994 to holders of record of the
Common Stock on June 7, 1994. This represents an increase in the
quarterly dividend of 12%.
