 ITEM 4   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Coleman-Sunbeam Merger

            On February 27, 1998, Parent Holdings and CLN Holdings Inc. ("CLN
Holdings"), a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
Holdings, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement")
with Sunbeam and Laser Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Sunbeam ("Merger Sub"), providing for, among other things,
upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions thereto, the merger (the "Merger")
of Merger Sub with CLN Holdings. The Merger and related transactions are
described in the Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by CLN Holdings on
March 4, 1998. On March 30, 1998 the Merger was consummated. Upon consummation
of the Merger, among other things, all shares of common stock of CLN Holdings
were converted into 14,099,749 Shares and cash. The Schedule 13G was filed
because Mafco Holdings and Parent Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own the
aforementioned 14,099,749 Shares by virtue of the consummation of the Merger.

            Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger,
options (the "Options") to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of The
Coleman Company, Inc. ("Coleman"), which Options were granted during 1997 to Mr.
Perelman under certain of Coleman's stock option plans, became immediately
exercisable. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February
27, 1998, among Sunbeam, Camper Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of Sunbeam ("Camper"), and Coleman, pursuant to which
Coleman will merge (the "Coleman Merger") with Camper and become a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sunbeam, each share of the common stock of Coleman acquired
pursuant to the exercise of such Options and outstanding as of the consummation
of the Coleman Merger will be converted into the right to receive $6.44 in cash
and .5677 Shares. Any Options unexercised as of the consummation of the Coleman
Merger will be canceled, and, in settlement therefor, the holders of such
Options will be paid cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total
number of shares of common stock of Coleman subject to such Options and (ii) the
excess of

$27.50 over the exercise price per share of such common stock subject
to such Options, less any applicable withholding taxes.

            The Schedule 13G reported and this Schedule 13D reflects Mr.
Perelman's ownership of the Options to acquire 283,850 Shares that were
converted in the Coleman Merger from the Options to acquire 500,000 shares of
common stock of Coleman. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Mafco Holdings and Parent
Holdings expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of such 283,850 Shares and
declare that the filing of the Schedule 13G and this Schedule 13D shall not be
construed as an admission that either of them is, for purposes of Section 13(d)
or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial
owner of any of such Shares.

Dismissal of Sunbeam's Chief Executive Officer

            On June 15, 1998, Sunbeam announced that its Board of Directors had
removed Albert J. Dunlap from his position as Sunbeam's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. The Board appointed as Chairman Peter A. Langerman, Senior
Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Franklin Mutual Advisers, Inc.
("Mutual Series"). Mr. Langerman has been a director of Sunbeam since 1990 and
served as Chairman of the Board of Sunbeam from May 22, 1996 until July 18,
1996. The Board also announced the appointment of Jerry W. Levin as Chief
Executive Officer of Sunbeam. Mr. Levin was Chairman of the Board of Revlon and
is Executive Vice President of Mafco Holdings and certain of its affiliates.
Sunbeam also announced that its Board would be expanded to include
three additional directors, including one additional designee of Mutual Series,
Mr. Levin and Howard Gittis, Vice Chairman of the Board of Mafco Holdings and
certain of its affiliates.

            In connection with the announcement by Sunbeam on June 15, 1998
described above, the Reporting Persons had discussions with representatives of
Sunbeam and of Mutual Series with respect to Sunbeam and the matters described
in the prior paragraph.

Other Matters

            The Reporting Persons acquired and continue to hold the Shares
