("ICO"), originally filed on June 13, 1988, and as amended from time to time (as so amended, the "Original Statement"), with respect to no par value common stock ("Common Stock") of ICO. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Statement. Unless amended or restated, the Original Statement remains in effect. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is supplemented as follows: Dr. Al O. Pacholder ("Pacholder") filed the Original Statement as a member of a group in connection with a voting agreement (the "Agreement") to which he is a party. On May 14, 2001, Pacholder amended the Original Statement to reflect his status as a member of another group consisting of Pacholder, David M. Gerst, and Jon C. Biro who are the officers and directors of the newly formed PBG Acquisition Corporation, a Texas corporation ("PBG") which made a proposal to the Company's Board of Directors to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution providing that the Agreement be terminated (attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference). The number of shares beneficially owned by Pacholder covered by this Amendment do not include those shares which were previously subject to the Agreement. Additionally, subsequent to the termination of the Agreement, each member of the Pacholder Group (defined below) has a beneficial ownership of less than 5% of the Company's outstanding capital stock. On June 7, 2001, the Company entered into termination agreements (collectively, the "Termination Agreements") (attached hereto as Exhibits 2-6 and incorporated herein by reference) with the following officers or employees of the Company and/or its affiliates: Pacholder, Chairman and Chief Financial Officer; Sylvia A. Pacholder, President and Chief Executive Officer; Robin E. Pacholder, Senior Vice President and President of Wedco, North America; David M. Gerst, Senior Vice President and General Counsel; and Tom D. Pacholder, Senior Vice President-Corporate Administration of Wedco, Inc. (each a member of, and collectively, the "Pacholder Group"). Under the terms of the Termination Agreements, the Company terminated each member of the Pacholder Group from all of their respective positions with the Company and its affiliates or subsidiaries (except any positions held in Pacholder Associates, Inc. or the Pacholder High Yield Fund). In addition, the Company accepted the resignations of Pacholder and Sylvia A Pacholder as directors of the Company. The Company then elected the following individuals to the offices set forth next to their name: John Williamson, Chairman of the Board of Directors; Timothy J. Gollin, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Christopher N. O'Sullivan, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. Messrs. Gollin and O'Sullivan have also been appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. On June 5, 2001, a Standstill Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference) was entered into between the Pacholder Group, Pacholder Associates, Inc. and Travis Street Partners, LLC. Under the terms of the Standstill Agreement, no member of the Pacholder Group, among other things, (i) will or will permit any entity under the control of such member to directly or indirectly solicit proxies with respect to any of the Company's securities entitled to vote for directors ("Voting Securities"); (ii) will acquire directly or indirectly ownership of Voting Securities, except upon the exercise of vested stock options held by members of the Pacholder Group as of June 5, 2001, or the Company's 10-3/8% Senior Notes dues 2007; (iii) will join any group for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of Voting Securities; or (iv) will initiate or induce any other party to initiate any proposal or tender offer to acquire any Voting Securities.
