Other Events. ------------- On December 13, 1996, the registrant issued a news release indicating that its Chemical Waste Management, Inc. subsidiary ("CWM") would appeal the recent decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, Western Division, in Memphis, Tennessee, which held CWM liable for approximately $76.5 million in contract damages and $15 million in punitive damages in a dispute with the former owners of CWM's Emelle, Alabama hazardous waste landfill. The Court found that CWM failed to maximize revenue at the landfill and fraudulently excluded certain revenues in connection with calculating quarterly installment payments under the terms of the landfill purchase agreement which was entered into in 1978. The registrant said that it disagrees with the Court's findings, but is analyzing the decision and may record a charge in the fourth quarter of 1996 that would have a material adverse effect on the registrant's results of operations. 7.
