Employer Identification Number: 44-0188420 ITEM 5. $29.6 MILLION JURY AWARD Butler Manufacturing Company was awarded $29.6 million for its Lester Building business in its suit against Louisiana-Pacific Corporation. The suit pertained to Louisiana-Pacific's Inner-Seal siding product. The award compensates the Company for damages and other losses resulting from product which was purchased by the Company and sold to its dealers. It was awarded by a McLeod County Minnesota District Court Jury on October 15, 2002. The Company is unable to estimate the impact the award may have on its financial condition or results of operations at this time. However, if the $29.6 million award is paid, the Company believes it will recognize approximately $14 million pretax as income for damages and recovery of prior costs in the period in which the award is paid. Although the Company expects that the trial court will enter a final order approving the jury verdict, it has not yet done so pending resolution of post trial motions. The trial court's judgment is subject to appeal, which could delay payment and result in affirmation, modification or reversal of the award. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirement of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
