Item 5.  Other Events.

On March 12, 1999, ThermaCell  Technologies,  Inc. extended the terms of certain
shareholder  lock-up agreements through March 12, 2000. The shareholder  lock-up
agreements  were  originally  executed  in February  1997 and covered  1,198,096
shares of common  stock of the  Company.  The shares  subject to the lock-up had
been issued in reliance on exemptions from the registration  requirements of the
Securities Acts prior to the Company's  initial public offering of stock.  Under
the  lock-up  agreements,  the  affected  shareholders  agreed  not to  sell  or
otherwise  dispose of the shares of the  Company  they then held for a period of
two  years  from  the  date the  Company's  public  offering  of  shares  became
effective,  which was March 12, 1997.  The  agreements  could be extended for an
additional  year if the Company did not meet certain  income goals  described in
the  agreements.  On  March  12,  1999,  the  Company  invoked  those  extension
provisions and extended the lock-up agreements until March 12, 2000.
