ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 31, 1996, the Board of Directors of The Coleman Company, Inc.
(the "Company"), an approximately 83% indirectly owned subsidiary of Coleman
Holdings Inc., 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.
