ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL ISSUES RULING IN FAVOR OF BALL CORPORATION
--------------------------------------------------------------
MUNCIE, Ind., August 7, 1995--In a binding arbitration, a tribunal of
the International Chamber of Commerce has issued a ruling in favor of Ball
Corporation (NYSE:BLL) in a dispute between Ball and Onex Corporation of
Toronto.
The ruling is related to a 1988 joint venture agreement between Ball
and Onex. As previously disclosed, Onex had sought approximately $30 million
from Ball with respect to shares Onex held in the former joint venture. The
arbitral tribunal rejected Onex's claim.
Ball Corporation produces rigid packaging products for food and beverages
and provides aerospace and other technology products and services to government
and commercial customers. The company had sales of nearly $2.6 billion in 1994.
