Item 5. Other Events
On January 20, 1998, the Registrant issued the following news release:
"SHAWNEE MISSION, KS - SLH Corporation (SLH) announced today that the SLH
Board of Directors has declared a two for one split of the Company's shares
of Common Stock on February 9, 1998. As a result of the split, which is
being effected as a stock dividend, each stockholder of record on February
2, 1998, will receive one additional share of Common Stock for each share
of Common Stock held of record on that date.
Certificates for the additional shares will be mailed to stockholders on
February 9, 1998. Stockholders should retain their existing stock
certificates. These certificates should not be sent to the Company since
they will continue to evidence the number of shares of Common Stock now
stated on the certificate.
Preferred Stock purchase rights that were issued to holders of Common Stock
under a Stockholders' Rights Agreement in 1997 have also been adjusted by
the Split. Under that agreement, the right of a stockholder, under certain
circumstances, to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock
for each share of Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the split
and a prior stock split to permit the purchase of one sixth of one one-
hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock for each share of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after the split."
