ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         As previously announced in a press release, a copy of which is filed as
Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, on June 29, 2000 (the
"Effective Date"), Purina Mills, Inc. ("Purina Mills") and its affiliated
chapter 11 debtors and debtors in possession (collectively with Purina Mills,
the "Debtors") satisfied each of the conditions to the effectiveness of the
Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Purina Mills, Inc., Its Parent
Corporation and Its Debtors Subsidiaries, dated February 22, 2000, as modified
(the "Plan"), which was confirmed by an order of the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware, dated April 5, 2000. As a result, on the
Effective Date, the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, and the
Debtors emerged from chapter 11 as reorganized entities.

         Among other things, in connection with its emergence from chapter 11
and in accordance with the Plan and related documents, Purina Mills (a) repaid
all of its $278 million in prepetition secured debt through a $103 million cash
payment and $175 million in borrowings under a new, term loan; (b) entered into
a new $50 million revolving credit facility; and (c) issued 10 million shares of
its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 9,910,000 shares will be
distributed to holders of general unsecured claims under the Plan, including
holders of Purina Mills' prepetition subordinated debt. Distributions of common
stock to these holders are anticipated to begin in August 2000. Upon emergence,
Purina Mills will have a stated equity of $185 million and secured bank debt of
$175 million. Koch Agriculture Company's prior equity interest in Purina Mills
has been canceled as of the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan.

         In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the terms of
a Rights Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2000 (the "Rights Agreement"), between
Purina Mills and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as Rights Agent, Purina Mills'
Board of Directors declared a dividend distribution of one right (a "Right") for
each share of common stock outstanding upon emergence from chapter 11. The
Rights are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the
Rights Agreement, a copy of which (including all exhibits thereto) has been
previously filed as Exhibit 4(c) to Purina Mills' Form 10 Registration
Statement, dated as of March 23, 2000, as amended. A summary description of the
Rights is set forth in Exhibit C to the Rights Agreement.
