Schedule 13G
Badger Paper Mills, Inc.
This Report on Form 13G is being filed relating to the
ownership by Bennie C. Burish ("Burish") in excess of 5% of the
outstanding common stock of Badger Paper Mills, Inc. (the
"Company"). Burish came to have ownership of Company common
stock in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares in the early
1980s, as the result of the Company's repurchase of shares which
caused Burish's beneficial ownership to come to exceed 5% of the
Company's outstanding common stock.
Burish has previously reported his ownership of Company
common stock on regularly filed Forms 4. In addition, Burish has
fully disclosed his ownership of Company common stock to the
Company; in turn, that ownership has been reported in the
Company's proxy statements. Burish did not become aware of the
independent filing obligations under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act until very recently; this filing is being made to
formally address the Section 13 disclosure requirements. Burish
has not had any transactions in Company common stock for in
excess of three years.
In addition, the shares reported herein exclude 11,550
shares of Company common stock (0.6% of the shares outstanding)
owned by Donna M. Burish, Burish's spouse. Burish disclaims
beneficial ownership of all shares of Company common stock owned
by Donna Burish. Donna Burish has not had any transactions in
Company common stock for in excess of three years.
