Item 5. Other Events On August 20, 1996, The B.F.Goodrich Company ("BFGoodrich") issued a press release announcing that Westlake Monomers Corporation ("Westlake") has exercised its right to terminate an agreement to purchase BFGoodrich's chlor-alkali and olefins facilities at Calvert City, Kentucky for approximately $170 million. BFGoodrich will continue to operate the facilities, which produce chlorine, caustic soda, hydrogen, ethylene, propylene and other olefins. The chlor-alkali and olefins facilities have been the subject of a lawsuit and subsequent arbitration that Westlake initiated in 1993 seeking up to $350 million in damages. Westlake's decision not to purchase the facilities has the effect of terminating all of its claims in the lawsuit and arbitration. 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.
