This Registration Statement No. 333-59705 (the "Registration Statement")
registered shares of common stock, $0.05 par value per share, (the "Common
Stock"), of Shelby Williams Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Registrant") to be issued upon the exercise of certain options under the
Registrant's 1995 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
On June 14, 1999, the tender offer of SY Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Falcon Products, Inc. to purchase all of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Registrant expired. On June 15, 1999, SY Acquisition, Inc.
accepted for payment approximately ninety-eight percent (98%) of the outstanding
Common Stock of the Registrant pursuant to the tender offer. On June 18, 1999,
pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Registrant, SY
Acquisition, Inc. and Falcon Products, Inc., SY Acquisition, Inc. was merged
with and into the Registrant, the Registrant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Falcon Products, Inc. and all of the issued and outstanding stock options of the
Registrant were cancelled and the Plan was terminated. As a result of the
consummation of the tender offer, the merger, the cancellation of the
outstanding options and the termination of the Plan, the Registrant hereby
amends the Registration Statement to remove the Common Stock from registration
under the Registration Statement.
