ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     On June 10, 2002 Libbey Inc. (the "Company") through a press release
     announced that the Company has abandoned its proposed acquisition of the
     Anchor Hocking businesses of Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. In light of the
     challenge to the acquisition by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and
     after careful consideration of various alternatives, the company concluded
     that this decision was in the best interest of the parties. Consistent with
     acquisition-related costs identified in Libbey's Form 10-Q filed on May 15,
     2002 for the first quarter of 2002, these costs total approximately $8 to
     $9 million after-tax, or $0.51 to $0.58 per diluted share, and will be
     written-off in the second quarter of 2002. The vast majority of related
     cash payments were made prior to March 31, 2002.
