                             MARIETTA CORPORATION

Cortland, New York--December 1, 1995 Marietta Corporation (NASDAQ: MRTA) and
Barry W. Florescue announced today that they have agreed to amend the Merger
Agreement between Marietta and a corporation controlled by Mr. Florescue to
extend the termination date of the Merger Agreement from December 31, 1995 to
February 15, 1996. Such extension affords Marietta additional time to
complete the documentation required to be distributed to its shareholders in
connection with a special meeting to be held to approve the Merger Agreement
and affords Mr. Florescue additional time to arrange the financing to
complete the transaction. Mr. Florescue has advised Marietta that he is
no longer pursuing financing on the terms set forth in commitment letters
provided to Marietta at the time of the execution of the Merger Agreement.
Mr. Florescue has further advised Marietta that he is pursuing more favorable
financing that would include a revolving credit facility of up to $17 million,
a term loan of not less than $10 million, and the issuance of subordinated notes
of not less than $12.5 million. In addition, the terms of such financing would
require Mr. Florescue to make an additional equity investment of $3.5 million.

Marietta Corporation specializes in the design, manufacture, packaging,
marketing, and distribution of guest amenity programs to the travel and
lodging industry in the United States and abroad, and provides customized
"sample-size" and "unit-of-use" packaging products and services to companies
in the toiletries, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household products
industries.
