   Item 5.   Other Events.
   
   On August 8, 1997, Repap Enterprises, Inc. (REI) entered into
   a definitive agreement with Consolidated Papers, Inc. of
   Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin (Consolidated), to sell Repap
   USA, Inc. for a transaction price estimated to total US$674
   million.  The estimated transaction price includes US$433
   million for net debt, US$14 million for post-retirement
   benefits, and US$227 million for equity, subject to closing
   adjustments.  Repap USA, Inc. is the holding company for
   Repap Wisconsin, Inc., Repap's United States based coated
   paper operation, and Repap Sales Corporation, which provides
   coated paper sales and marketing services.
   
   This transaction has the approval of  the board of directors
   of  both REI and Consolidated, but is still subject to the
   approvals of REI's shareholders and U.S. and Canadian
   regulators.  The proposed sale will be voted on by Repap
   shareholders on September 25, 1997, and if approved is
   expected to close September 30, 1997.
   
   Silverton International Fund Limited, which beneficially owns
   21.4% of outstanding REI common shares, and Paloma Partners,
   L.L.C., which beneficially owns 7.2% of outstanding REI
   common shares, have indicated to REI their intention to vote
   all the REI common shares which they beneficially own or over
   which they exercise control or direction in favor of the sale
   of Repap USA, Inc. to Consolidated.  George S. Petty, former
   Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of REI who beneficially
   owns or has ultimate voting control over 3.8% of outstanding
   REI Common Shares has agreed to vote all the REI Common
   Shares which he owns or controls in favor of the sale of
   Repap USA, Inc. to Consolidated.  In addition, all of the
   directors and officers of REI have indicated their intention
   to vote all the REI Common Shares owned or controlled by them
   in favor of the sale of Repap USA, Inc. to Consolidated as
   well.
   
   The definitive agreement includes provisions that REI will
   pay Consolidated US$10 million in the event the proposal is
   rejected by its shareholders.  REI has also agreed to pay
   Consolidated US$25 million should its board of directors fail
   to recommend the proposal to REI shareholders or should REI
   enter into an agreement with another party to dispose of
   Repap USA, Inc. or its subsidiaries through a sale, merger,
   or other similar transaction prior to September 30, 1998.
