On December 11, 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") terminated negotiations with the Registrant and the six other companies and announced its intention to conduct a remedial investigation and feasibility study ("RI/FS") on the lower Fox River and Green Bay unilaterally with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Registrant believes that this development increases the likelihood that this matter will end up in litigation. While the Registrant is disappointed with the action taken by EPA, it was not unexpected. 3 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
