Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On August 15, 1997, Imation Corp. (the "Registrant") acquired all of
the outstanding stock of Cemax-Icon, Inc. ("Cemax-Icon") through a merger of a
newly-created subsidiary of the Registrant with and into Cemax-Icon. Pursuant to
the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 13, 1997 (the "Merger
Agreement") entered into in connection with the merger, for each share of
Cemax-Icon common stock outstanding immediately prior to the time of the merger
the stockholders of Cemax-Icon received a cash payment of $5.25 and one right (a
"Contingent Payment Right") to receive contingent payments of up to $8.50 over a
two-year period in cash or shares of the Registrant's common stock, based on the
gross revenues of Cemax-Icon for the 24 months commencing July 1, 1997, net of
any amount to which the Registrant is entitled pursuant to the offset provisions
of the Merger Agreement. The maximum aggregate consideration payable by the
Registrant in connection with the merger, including the Contingent Payment
Rights, is $72,450,455 assuming such Contingent Payment Rights are paid in cash.
In addition, holders of options to purchase an aggregate 1,155,466 shares of
Cemax-Icon common stock outstanding at the time of the merger are entitled to
receive, upon exercise of such options, .481409 of a share of the Registrant's
common stock for each share of Cemax-Icon common stock underlying such options.

         The acquisition was funded from available cash and from borrowings
under the Registrant's existing revolving credit facility with a syndicate of
