Industries, Inc., a Connecticut corporation (the "Company") with its principal
executive office c/o Zeisler & Zeisler, 558 Clinton Avenue, Bridgeport,
Connecticut 06605, to request each stockholder of the Company to present a
written demand, in the form accompanying this Statement, to the Board of
Directors of the Company for the call of a special meeting of stockholders (the
"Special Meeting of Stockholders" or the "Meeting") by May 28, 1997, or as
promptly thereafter as may be necessary to comply with the notice and similar
requirements applicable to the Company, for the purpose of considering and
voting upon the following proposals:
1. The amendment of Section 3.14 of the by-laws of the Company

The Current Board was installed on February 28, 1990, as part of the

THE SOLICITATION BACKGROUND"). The Company has not held an annual meeting for
the election of directors since that time - over 7 years - in violation of the
By-laws, and in violation of certain provisions of the Connecticut Business
Corporation Act (the "BCA"). Under the By-laws, the Company is required to hold
an annual meeting of stockholders on the fourth Wednesday in May each year (for
fiscal year 1997, May 28), or such earlier or later date as determined by the
Board of Directors.
This Solicitation Statement is first being distributed to stockholders
of the Company on or about March , 1997.
THIS SOLICITATION STATEMENT SEEKS ONLY THE WRITTEN DEMAND FOR A SPECIAL
MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO SOLICIT PROXIES TO VOTE
ON THE ISSUES WHICH WOULD BE PRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING. IF A
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS IS CALLED, THE SOLICITING STOCKHOLDER

Demand is no longer effective.
PLEASE PROMPTLY FILL OUT AND SIGN THE FORM OF DEMAND AND

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION
Background
The Soliciting Stockholder acquired its shares of Common Stock for the
purpose of seeking to replace the Current Board and executive officers of the
Company with persons who would evaluate alternative strategies to improve
stockholder value. To that end, the Soliciting Stockholder has requested the
Board of Directors (i) to call an annual meeting of stockholders, (ii) to
provide the Soliciting Stockholder with a copy of the list of stockholders of
the Company, and (iii) to waive certain restrictions with respect to ownership
of the Common Stock contained in the Company's amended and restated certificate
of incorporation. To date, the Board of Directors has not complied with the
Soliciting Stockholder's requests. As a result, the Soliciting Stockholder has
prepared and distributed this Solicitation Statement and intends to commence
appropriate legal proceedings to enforce these requests.
TMI, an affiliate of the Soliciting Stockholder, acquired its 34,037
shares of Common Stock by virtue of its status as a creditor of the Company
(which term, for purposes hereof, includes its subsidiaries) as a result of the
Company's voluntary filing (July 11, 1988) of a petition in bankruptcy under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The plan of reorganization (the
"Plan") ultimately approved by the bankruptcy court, on February 28, 1990,
cancelled all the common stock then outstanding and directed (i) the issuance of
a new class of common stock (the "Common Stock") to be distributed to the
creditors in proportion to their respective allowed but unsatisfied claims, and
(ii) the cancellation of all other outstanding equity and debt securities of the
Company.
Filing of Schedule 13D by the Soliciting Stockholder
On March 20, 1997, the Soliciting Stockholder filed, with the Company,
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD"), a statement on Schedule
13D (as amended on March 27, the "Schedule 13D") which disclosed, among other
things, the intention of the Soliciting Stockholder to seek a special meeting of
the stockholders of the Company for the purposes described above. Mr. Morton E.
Handel, one of the Soliciting Stockholder's nominees for the New Board, and Mr.
Robert M. Grosser, a Director, Vice President and Secretary of the Soliciting
Stockholder, are parties to the Schedule 13D. All parties to the Schedule 13D
disclaimed beneficial ownership of any Common Stock owned by each of the other
reporting persons party to the Schedule 13D and disclaimed membership in any
group that includes any
3
C/M: 10302.0046 470415.2
<PAGE>
of the other reporting persons other than as owned directly by such party or by
a corporation which is wholly owned by such party. See "Proposed New Board."
PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF SECTION 3.14 OF THE BY-LAWS OF THE COMPANY
At the Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Soliciting Stockholder will
propose the amendment of Section 3.14 of the By-laws of the Company to read as
set forth on Annex 1 attached hereto. The immediate effect of the proposed
amendment would be to authorize the stockholders, at the Special Meeting, to
remove the Current Board and any directors elected or appointed to the Board of
Directors at any time prior to the vote thereon at the Special Meeting and elect
their successors, to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, and
until their successors are elected and qualified. The long-term effect will be
to thereafter permit the stockholders to remove some or all of the directors of
the Company at an annual or special meeting of stockholders. The proposed
amendment also removes from By-laws Section 3.14 numerous procedural
requirements with respect to stockholders' nominations or elections of
directors.
Under the By-laws as currently in force, the stockholders may elect or
remove directors only at an annual meeting of stockholders, and only the Board
of Directors can call an annual meeting of the stockholders. This makes it
difficult for the stockholders to effect a change in the composition of the
Board. The proposed amendment, if approved by the stockholders, would authorize
the stockholders to call a special meeting for the purpose of electing or
removing directors.
PROPOSED NEW BOARD
If and when the Special Meeting of Stockholders is held, the Soliciting
Stockholder expects to propose the election of a new board of directors (the
"New Board"), which will consist of the following persons (the "Nominees"):
Name Age Proposed Positions with the Company
Isaac Perlmutter...........53 Director
Morton E. Handel...........61 Director
Raymond Minella............47 Director
Isaac Perlmutter is an independent investor. Mr. Perlmutter has been a
director of Toy Biz, Inc., a publicly held company, since April 1993. He is the
sole stockholder of the Soliciting Stockholder and TMI, and by virtue thereof,
he is the beneficial owner of 185,877 shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Morton E. Handel is the President of S&H Consulting, Ltd., a privately
held financial consulting firm, a position he has held since 1991. From 1988
through February 28, 1990, he was Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of Coleco Industries, Inc., the predecessor to the Company
4
C/M: 10302.0046 470415.2
<PAGE>
("Coleco"), and was Executive Vice President of Coleco from 1983 to 1988. Mr.
Handel is also Chairman of the Board of Concurrent Computer Corporation, a
Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee of CompUSA, Inc., and a Director
and Chairman of the Audit Committee of Ithaca Industries, Inc., each of which is
a publicly held company. Mr. Handel beneficially owns 198,167 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.
Raymond Minella is a co-founder of Berenson Minella & Company, an
investment banking firm, and has been a managing partner since 1992. Prior to
founding Berenson Minella & Company, Mr. Minella was co-head of the merchant
banking group of Merrill Lynch & Co., an investment banking firm.
The Nominees will receive no compensation for agreeing to stand for
election as directors of the Company. It is expected that the New Board will
authorize the payment of director's fees to the Directors that are comparable to
director's fees paid by similar corporations. None of the Nominees is affiliated
with the Soliciting Stockholder except Mr. Perlmutter, who is its sole
shareholder.
The Soliciting Stockholder is expected to indemnify each Nominee, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all
expenses, liabilities or losses of any kind arising out of any threatened or
filed claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, asserted against or incurred by a Nominee in his capacity as a
nominee for election as a director of the Company, and, if elected, as a
director of the Company, or arising out of his status in either such capacity.
The Soliciting Stockholder is expected to reimburse each Nominee for his
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel, in connection with the defense of any claim, action, suit or proceeding
as aforesaid.
BUSINESS PLANS OF THE SOLICITING STOCKHOLDER
AND THE NEW BOARD
If the Soliciting Stockholder is successful in replacing the Board of
Directors with its nominees, the Soliciting Stockholder expects that the New
Board would evaluate several alternative strategies to improve stockholder value
including, without limitation, considering opportunities to obtain a release to
the Company of all or a portion of the Product Liability Trust that was
established as part of the Plan.
The New Board is expected to consider various alternatives that would
increase the value of the Common Stock, including actions that would entail:
(a) the acquisition of additional Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company in
the open market or otherwise;
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger or liquidation, involving the Company;
5
C/M: 10302.0046 470415.2
<PAGE>
(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
the Company;
(d) in addition to the changes disclosed above or
elsewhere herein, other changes in the Board of Directors or management of the
Company;
(e) a material change in the present dividend policy of
the Company;
(f) other material changes in the Company's business or
corporate structure;
(g) changes in the Company's certificate of incorporation
or bylaws (in addition, in the case of the latter, to the changes proposed
herein), or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the
Company by another person; or
(h) actions similar to those enumerated above (each of
the foregoing are collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Enumerated
Actions").
The Soliciting Stockholder's determination with respect to any of the
foregoing Enumerated Actions will depend upon various factors, including, but
not limited to, the Soliciting Stockholder's evaluation of the Company and its
prospects, the status of the Product Liability Trust, general market and
economic conditions, other opportunities available to the Soliciting Stockholder
and other factors the Soliciting Stockholder may deem relevant to its investment
decision.
At the present time, the Soliciting Stockholder has no expectation that
it or any of its affiliates or associates will, directly or indirectly,
undertake, advance or be a party to any of the Enumerated Actions, except that
such the Soliciting Stockholder may acquire additional shares of Common Stock
or, in the alternative, dispose of all or any lesser portion of its shares of
Common Stock. In addition, the Soliciting Stockholder reserves the rights to be
a party to any of the Enumerated Transactions, if approved in accordance with
the By-laws and applicable law, and if approved in accordance with the policy
set forth in the following paragraph.
If the New Board is elected by the stockholders, the Soliciting
Stockholder will not engage, directly or indirectly, in any Enumerated
Transaction with the Company (other than open market purchases and sales of the
Common Stock or other securities of the Company) unless such transaction is
approved (i) by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of
Directors, or (ii) if there are no disinterested directors, by the Board after
receipt and review of an opinion of an independent investment banker or other
financial expert that such transaction (A) is fair to the Company and the
stockholders other than the Soliciting Stockholder, or (B) is on terms not
materially different than could be obtained by arms' length negotiations with a
person not affiliated or associated with the New Board.
The Soliciting Stockholder has previously requested the Current Board
to waive or terminate certain restrictions with respect to ownership of the
Common Stock contained with Company's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation which would, if not waived or terminated, prohibit certain
transactions by the Soliciting Stockholder with the Company or certain other
stockholders, or their respective associates or affiliates. The Soliciting
Stockholder expects to renew this request with the
6
C/M: 10302.0046 470415.2
<PAGE>
Board of Directors, including the New Board, after the Special Meeting.
Additionally, the Soliciting Stockholder may pursue this request prior to the
Special Meeting.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Soliciting Stockholder expended $45,539 to purchase 151,797 shares
of Common Stock. The funds used in making the purchases came from working
capital. TMI acquired its 34,037 shares of Common Stock by virtue of its status
as a creditor of the Company through the Plan. Mr. Handel expended $53,629 to
purchase 198,167 shares of Common Stock and Mr. Grosser expended $1,350 to
purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. The funds used in making the purchases
came from their respective personal savings.
As more fully set forth in "Proposed New Board," the Soliciting
Stockholder expects to indemnify the members of the New Board against claims,
suits and judgments, including the costs of defending against such claims, suits
and judgments, arising out of their status as nominees or members of the Board.
See "Proposed New Board."
There are no formal or binding agreements or understandings between or
among the Soliciting Stockholder and the New Board with respect to the manner in
which the New Board, if elected, would manage the Company.
The New Board would have the authority, in the exercise of its business
judgment, to authorize the payment of compensation to some or all members of the
New Board.
PLEASE PROMPTLY FILL OUT AND SIGN THE FORM OF DEMAND AND
RETURN IT TO THE SOLICITING AGENT.
