ITEM 5: Other Events
On January 30, 1997, the Company was served with a subpoena from
a federal grand jury in Connecticut requesting certain documents.
The subpoena requests information related to an accidental spill from
the Company's Huntingdon Avenue, Waterbury, Connecticut facility that
occurred in November of 1994, together with other related information.
The Company was subsequently informed that it is a subject of the grand
jury's investigation in this regard. The Company is cooperating with
the investigation.
At this stage, it is impossible to determine the ultimate outcome
of the proceedings. However, the Company does not believe that there
is any basis for an assertion against the Company of claims of criminal
violation of the federal environmental laws.
MacDermid's chief executive officer, Daniel H. Leever said:
"The Company has repeatedly expressed deep regret for
the occurrence of the 1994 accidental spill. We are
cooperating fully and are hopeful that, upon review of
the requested documents, the United States Attorney's
office will agree with us that the Company acted
responsibly under the circumstances."
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the

undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
