ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ------ ------------------------------------
On July 25, 1997, P O Acquisition Corporation ("POAC"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Registrant completed its cash tender offer for all the
outstanding shares of common stock of Arden Industrial Products, Inc. ("Arden")
for $6.00 per share net to the shareholder. Approximately 98.5% of the common
stock of Arden was validly tendered. The cash tender offer was made pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 1997, (the "Merger
Agreement"), among the Registrant, POAC, and Arden. The Merger Agreement
provides for POAC to be merged with and into Arden as soon as practicable upon
completion of the cash tender offer in accordance with the Minnesota Business
Corporation Act. In consideration of such merger, all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of POAC will be converted into shares of
Arden common stock, and the remaining issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of Arden will be converted into the right to receive $6.00 in cash. The
$6.00 price to acquire shares of common stock of Arden was determined by arm's
length negotiation between Arden and the Registrant. POAC acquired the common
stock of Arden using funds obtained from Registrant. The Registrant borrowed the
funds from a group of five banks, pursuant to a senior credit facility which
consists of a $35 million term loan and $140 million in revolving credit
commitments. The five banks are Key Bank National Association, NBD Bank, The
Huntington National Bank, National City Bank, and Mellon Bank, N.A.
Arden's assets, in general consist of leased real property,
equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory. Arden primarily distributes
products associated with the fastener industry. The Registrant intends for
Arden to continue and expand in its present lines of business.
