ITEM 5.     OTHER EVENTS
- - -------     ------------

         At the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Park-Ohio Industries,
Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Park-Ohio"), held on May 28, 1998, the shareholders
of Park-Ohio approved an Agreement of Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated
February 20, 1998 by an among Park-Ohio, Park-Ohio Holdings Corp., an Ohio
corporation formerly known as PKOH Holding Corp. ("Holdings"), and PKOH Merger
Corp., an Ohio corporation ("Merger Corp."), providing for a reorganization of 
Park-Ohio into a holding company form of ownership with Holdings as its sole 
parent. On June 10, 1998, Holdings amended and restated its articles of 
incorporation to, among other things, change its corporate name from "PKOH 
Holding Corp." to "Park-Ohio Holdings Corp." and increase its authorized shares
from 100 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share, to 40,000,000 
shares of common stock and 632,470 shares of preferred stock, all $1.00 par 
value per share.

         Effective as of the close of business on June 15, 1998, Merger Corp.
was merged with and into Park-Ohio (the "Merger") upon the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement. At the effective time of the Merger, (i) all of the
shares of Park-Ohio's common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger were converted into an equal number of shares of Holding's common
stock (on a share-for-share basis), (ii) all of the shares of Merger Corp.'s
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger were
converted into 100 shares of Park-Ohio's common stock and (iii) all of the
shares of Holdings' common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger were canceled.

         Prior to the Merger, there was no public market for Holding's common
stock and Park-Ohio's common stock was listed for trading on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "PKOH." Upon the opening of the market after the
effective time of the Merger: (i) Holdings' common stock will be registered
under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq National Market
under the symbol "PKOH" (except that during the 30-day period immediately
following the effective time it will be listed under the symbol "PKOHD"); (ii)
Park-Ohio's common stock will be simultaneously delisted from the Nasdaq
National Market and will cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the
Exchange Act; and (iii) Holdings will assume Park-Ohio's reporting obligations
under the Exchange Act.
