Item 5: Other Events.
- --------------------
On June 2, 1995, Silgan Containers Corporation ("Containers"), a Delaware
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silgan Corporation ("Silgan"), a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Silgan Holdings Inc.,
entered into a purchase agreement with American National Can Company ("ANC"), a
Delaware corporation, pursuant to which Containers has agreed to purchase from
ANC, and ANC has agreed to sell to Containers, the assets of ANC's Food Metal &
Specialty business, which had sales of approximately $597 million in 1994 and
which manufactures, markets and sells metal food containers and rigid plastic
containers for a variety of food products and metal caps and closures for food
and beverage products (the "Business"), subject to certain excluded assets. In
connection with such acquisition, Containers has agreed to assume certain
liabilities of the Business. The closing for such acquisition is scheduled to
occur no later than December 31, 1995, but is subject to Silgan having completed
the financing for such acquisition and the expiration or termination of all
applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended. Silgan intends to finance such acquisition by
refinancing its senior secured indebtedness with a bank credit facility.
