Item 5. Other Events.
On January 1, 1996, Toys "R" Us, Inc. ("Toys 'R' Us") adopted a
holding company form of organizational structure. The new holding company
organizational structure provides to Toys "R" Us a framework that allows for
and can accommodate future growth from internal operations, acquisitions or
joint ventures, broadens the alternatives available for future financing,
generally provides for greater administrative and operational flexibility and
more efficient state tax planning.
The holding company organizational structure was implemented by
the merger of TRU Interim, Inc. into Toys "R" Us, which was the surviving
corporation. Prior to the merger, TRU Interim, Inc. was a direct wholly-owned
subsidiary of Toys "R" Us-Headquarters, Inc. (the "Holding Company"), a
holding company organized for the purpose of implementing the holding company
organizational structure and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Toys "R" Us.
By virtue of the merger, Toys "R" Us became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Holding Company, and all of Toys "R" Us' outstanding common stock was
converted, on a share for share basis, into common stock of the Holding
Company. As a result, each of the stockholders of Toys "R" Us became the
owner of the same number of shares of common stock of the Holding Company as
the number of shares of common stock of Toys "R" Us owned by such stockholder
prior to the merger.
At the time of the merger, the name of the Holding Company was
changed to "Toys 'R' Us, Inc." and the name of Toys "R" Us was changed to
"Toys 'R' Us-Delaware, Inc." The conversion of shares of common stock in the
merger occurred without an exchange of certificates. Accordingly,
certificates formerly representing shares of common stock of Toys "R" Us are
deemed to represent shares of common stock of the Holding Company.
