ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 31, 1996, the Board of Directors of The Coleman Company,
Inc. (the "Company"), an approximately 83% owned subsidiary of Coleman
Worldwide Corporation, authorized a two-for-one stock split (the "Stock
Split") to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend, at the rate of
one additional share of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), for each share of Common Stock (including treasury
shares, if any) held of record at the close of business on June 28, 1996
(such time and date being referred to as the "Record Date"). Certificates
representing the new shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stock
Split will be distributed on or about July 15, 1996, to stockholders of
record on the Record Date.
The present par value ($0.01 per share) of the Company's Common
Stock will not be changed in connection with the Stock Split. The increase
in the aggregate par value of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common
Stock resulting from the Stock Split will be reflected by a charge against
the Company's additional paid-in capital account and a credit to the
Company's Common Stock account in an amount equal to the aggregate par value
of the shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in connection with the
Stock Split. The Stock Split will not have any other effect on the amounts
of the Company's stated capital, capital surplus or retained earnings account.
