The Registrant registered 2,300 plan participations in The Copeland
Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") which were offered to eligible
employees of Copeland Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant.
The Registrant also registered 300,000 shares of its common stock (including
300,000 preferred share purchase rights) in which such employee contributions
could be invested pursuant to the Plan.
The Plan was merged into the Registrant's Employee Savings Investment
Plan effective as of January 1, 1994. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby
removes from registration all plan participations and common stock (including
preferred share purchase rights) not sold pursuant to the Plan.
