Of such shares, 500,000 shares will be sold by Barnett and 1,500,000 shares (1,650,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) will be sold by Waxman USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Waxman Industries. The offering will be co-managed by William Blair & Company, L.L.C. and Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated. The net proceeds of the Offering to Waxman USA will be used primarily to reduce indebtedness of Waxman and the net proceeds of the offering to Barnett will be used to repay short term debt and for general corporate purposes. 2 Barnett Inc. is a leading direct marketer and distributer of an extensive line of plumbing, electrical and hardware products to over 46,000 active customers throughout the United States.

A registration statement relating to the offering of Barnett's common stock has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.
