Item 1 - Changes in Control of Registrant
- -----------------------------------------
Little Switzerland, Inc. (the "Company") held an annual meeting of
stockholders on April 7, 1999 (the "Annual Meeting") at which the stockholders
elected Adriane J. Dudley, as the Class I Director with a term expiring at the
2001 annual meeting of stockholders, and Melanie L. Sturm and Richard C. Hunter,
as the Class III Directors, each with a term expiring at the 2000 annual meeting
of stockholders. C. William Carey and John E. Toler, Jr. did not stand for re-
election as Class III Directors at the Annual Meeting. In addition, effective
immediately following the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors of the Company
appointed Peter R. McMullin as a Class II Director to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Timothy B. Donaldson. The nomination of the Board of
Directors' candidates for election at the Annual Meeting was the consequence of
the settlement agreement that the Company entered into on February 23, 1999 with
Donald L. Sturm and Seymour Holtzman, among others. As a result of the election
of Messes. Sturm and Dudley and Mr. Hunter and the appointment of Mr. McMullin,
there effectively was a change in control of the Company because more than a
majority of the members of the Board of Directors were effected.
