FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
 
 
            STEINHARDT FUNDS TO MAKE DISTRIBUTION IN KIND OF 
             SUNBEAM CORPORATION UNRESTRICTED COMMON STOCK 
 
 
 
New York, New York, September 18, 1996 -- The Steinhardt organization today  
announced that investors in each of the three Steinhardt funds owning shares  
of Sunbeam Corporation common stock will receive a pro rata distribution-in- 
kind. 
 
The Steinhardt funds, which publicly announced in October 1995 the decision to  
wind down, have already distributed a substantial portion of investors'  
capital.  The funds have continued to manage sub-accounts of certain remaining  
investments, of which Sunbeam is a sizeable holding.  The funds owning shares  
of Sunbeam are Steinhardt Partners, L.P., Institutional Partners, L.P. and  
S.P. International, S.A. 
 
The Steinhardt funds noted that Sunbeam common shares have appreciated  
substantially since the appointment of Albert J. Dunlap as Sunbeam's Chairman  
and CEO on July 18, 1996.  In their letter to investors the funds emphasized  
that they have the highest regard for new management. 
 
The exact number of Sunbeam shares to be pro rated to each investor will be  
based on the New York Stock Exchange Composite closing price of Sunbeam on  
Thursday, September 19th.  As of the last public filing the funds owned  
17,144,677 shares of Sunbeam, approximately 20.5% of the company.
