Item 1. Description of Securities to be Registered.
On December 8, 1994, the Board of Directors of Hercules Incorporated,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), authorized a three-for-one split (the
"Stock Split") of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common
Stock"), to be effected in the form of a stock dividend of two shares for every
share of stock held by shareholders of record at the close of business on
January 9, 1995 ( the "Record Date").
As a result of the Stock Split, the Rights, as defined in the Rights
Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of June 24, 1987 between the
Company and Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company, and succeeded thereto by
Chemical Bank as Rights Agent, will be adjusted, on the Record Date, from one
Right entitling a holder to purchase 1/1000 of a share of the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock to one Right entitling a holder to purchase
1/3000 of a share of the Preferred Stock. This adjustment is being made
pursuant to Section 11(n) of the Rights Agreement.
