OTHER EVENTS. On October 31, 1996, the Registrant completed the sale to MascoTech, Inc. ("MascoTech") of 17 million shares of MascoTech common stock and warrants to purchase 10 million shares of MascoTech common stock, for $266,375,000. The Registrant received $115 million at closing, with the balance due within one year. Subject to obtaining any necessary approvals, MascoTech may pay a portion of the outstanding balance by transferring any publicly-traded securities of Emco Limited currently held by MascoTech. The press release issued October 16, 1996 announcing the transaction is attached as Exhibit 99.a hereto. The purchase price for the common stock and warrants received by the Registrant was determined through arms-length negotiations by the Registrant"s Board of Directors (with Messrs. Manoogian and Morgan abstaining) and assistance of its investment bankers. Masco's ownership of MascoTech's outstanding common stock has now been reduced from approximately 45 percent to approximately 21 percent, and would be approximately 16 percent if pro forma effect were given to the mandatory conversion of MascoTech's outstanding convertible preferred stock on July 1, 1997. As part of this transaction, the Registrant agreed to grant MascoTech a right of first refusal, which expires September 30, 2000, to purchase the remaining shares of MascoTech common stock held by the Registrant (approximately 7.8 million shares). In addition, MascoTech and the Registrant modified the existing corporate services, corporate opportunities and financing commitment agreements, principally to extend the terms thereof. Copies of the amendments to the agreements are attached hereto as exhibits. Item 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits.

Mosteller Senior Vice President - Finance Date: November 13, 1996 EXHIBIT INDEX 99.a Press Release dated October 16, 1996 99.b Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 15, 1996 between Masco Corporation and MascoTech, Inc. 99.c Amendment No. 1 to Corporate Services Agreement made as of October 31, 1996 between Masco Corporation and MascoTech, Inc. 99.d Amendment No. 1 to Corporate Opportunities Agreement made as of October 31, 1996 between Masco Corporation and MascoTech, Inc. 99.e Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement made as of October 31, 1996 between Masco Corporation and MascoTech, Inc. EX-99.A 2 Exhibit 99.a October 16, 1996 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MASCO CORPORATION ANNOUNCES EXPECTED FAVORABLE THIRD QUARTER RESULTS AND SALE OF A MAJOR PORTION OF ITS MASCOTECH INVESTMENT MASCO CORPORATION announced that it expects to report favorable results for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996. The Company estimates that sales in the quarter approximated $840 million, a 14 percent increase from the comparable period last year. The Company estimates that net income for the quarter approximated $80 million or $.50 per share, an increase of 28 percent when compared with $.39 per share in the comparable period of 1995. MASCO CORPORATION also announced that it has reached an agreement for the sale to MascoTech, Inc. of 17 million shares of MascoTech common stock and warrants to purchase 10 million shares of MascoTech common stock, both of which are currently owned by MASCO. Under the sale agreement, MASCO will receive approximately $266 million, with $115 million cash to be paid at closing and the balance of the consideration to be paid within one year. The agreement also provides for the extension of the existing corporate services and financing commitment agreements between the two companies and is subject to MascoTech obtaining necessary approvals under its bank credit agreement. As part of the transaction, Richard A. Manoogian, Chairman of MASCO, has also agreed to sell to MascoTech one million shares of MascoTech common stock at the current market price. His present 7 percent common ownership in MascoTech would remain approximately the same after the purchase from MASCO is completed. The transaction is consistent with MASCO's previously stated intention to reduce its equity ownership in its MascoTech affiliate from the present 45 percent to under 20 percent. This transaction, taking into account the mandatory conversion in mid-1997 of MascoTech's outstanding preferred stock into common stock, will result in MASCO owning approximately 16 percent of MascoTech's common stock. MASCO CORPORATION is one of the world's leading manufacturers of home improvement and building products. The Company's well-known brands include Delta and Peerless faucets, Merillat, KraftMaid and StarMark cabinetry, Baldwin hardware, Weiser locks, Thermador appliances and Watkins Hot Spring Spas.

Masco and the Company each hereby covenant and agree that they will discuss in good faith an appropriate allocation for tax purposes of the Purchase Price between the Repurchased Stock and the Warrants and will not take a position on any income tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the collection of any income tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with such agreement. (b) The Purchase Price with respect to the Repurchased Stock shall be subject to adjustment as specified in this Section 1(b). (i) If, within six months after the Closing Date, (A) the Company enters into an agreement with respect to any merger, consolidation, tender offer or similar transaction (provided that this clause shall not apply to a transaction in which the Company is the surviving company in any merger or consolidation and in which the stock issued in such a transaction is less than 40% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company after the transaction), or to issue more than 40% of the Common Stock to any third party (and its affiliates); (B) the Company undertakes a recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, self-tender, spin-off or similar extraordinary transaction; or (C) any third party commences a tender or exchange offer for any capital stock of the Company as a result of which such third party (and its affiliates) acquires "beneficial ownership" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of more than 40% of the shares of the Common Stock, (any of the transactions referred to above in clauses (A), (B) and (C) being referred to as a "Transaction") and, in any such case referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, the price per share of Common Stock paid in such Transaction (or in the case of a recapitalization, extraordinary dividend, self-tender, spin-off or similar Transaction, the aggregate "price" of the amount distributed to holders of the Common Stock in such Transaction plus the "price" of any Common Stock paid calculated as provided below), exceeds $14.00, the Company shall pay to Masco, within two business days after the closing of the Transaction (or such later date as the "price" of the consideration has been determined as provided below), an amount in cash equal to 17,000,000 times the excess, if any, of such price over $14.00. (ii) In the event a Transaction shall involve consideration other than cash, then the "price" of such consideration for purposes of the foregoing formula shall be determined as follows: (A) If the consideration shall consist of securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or on NASDAQ, then such securities shall be valued at an amount equal to the average closing prices (or, in the case of NASDAQ, the last sale prices) for such securities during the ten trading days preceding the completion of the Transaction. (B) In all other events, Masco and the Company shall engage in good faith discussion for not less than ten business days after the closing of the Transaction in an effort to agree upon a valuation. At the end of such period, if Masco and the Company have not agreed on a valuation, Masco and the Company shall mutually select an investment banker who shall determine and appropriate valuation and whose -2- fees and expenses shall be paid 50% by Masco and 50% by the Company. In such event the amount payable to Masco shall be paid promptly upon such valuation being determined. (iii) In the event that, after the date hereof, the Company is party to any transaction or takes any action that has a materially dilutive or anti-dilutive effect on the per share value of the shares of the Common Stock (e.g., a stock split) prior to a Transaction, Masco and the Company shall make such adjustments to the amounts payable to Masco under clause (i) above as shall be equitable to preserve the economic results intended by the parties as of the date hereof.

In connection therewith, Masco and the Company desire to amend certain provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement as set forth herein. IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Amendment, the parties agree to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement as follows: 1. Paragraph 1(b) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: (b) The Securities shall be issued in separate series with the interest rate on each such series being a rate per annum that is the higher of: (I) 400 basis points over the average Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined) for the week preceding the week in which the notice of purchase referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco; or (ii) 75 basis points over the Comparable Debt Issuance Rate (as hereinafter defined). "Treasury Rate" means the rate for noncallable direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Notes") having a remaining maturity of five years, as published in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) (or any successor publication provided by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) under the heading "Treasury Constant Maturities."

The "Comparable Debt Issuance Rate" means a per annum rate of interest determined as follows: Each of the Company and Masco shall select an investment banker within 3 business days from the date the notice of purchase referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco, and those two investment bankers shall have 3 business days to select a third investment banker. Each of the three investment bankers shall have qualifications with respect to the sale of debt instruments of manufacturing and industrial companies. Each of the three investment bankers shall have 3 business days to determine, in its good faith opinion, the per annum rate of interest that the Company would be required to pay if it were to issue the relevant series of Securities to third party investors in a transaction negotiated at arms'-length and priced as of the date the notice of purchase referred to in Paragraph 2 is given to Masco, and each banker shall set forth its conclusion in a letter addressed to each of Masco and the Company and delivered to each of them by 12:00 noon EST on the 10th day from the date of the notice of purchase given to Masco. The arithmetic mean of the interest rates determined by each of the three investment bankers shall be the Comparable Debt Issuance Rate. 2. Paragraph 2(a) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Masco agrees to purchase, at par, at any time or from time to time on or before March 31, 2002, upon the Company's written notice, up to $200 million aggregate principal amount of Securities (the "Commitment"). The Company's written notice shall specify the principal amount of Securities that Masco is required to purchase (which for each respective issuance of Securities shall be $10 million or any larger multiple of $1,000,000). The interest rate for such Securities shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1(b). 3. The first sentence of Paragraph 3(a) is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: (a) Any closing of a sale of Securities to Masco hereunder shall occur at Masco's offices on the 10th Business Day (as hereinafter defined) after the Company gives Masco the written notice referred to in Paragraph 2. 2 4.

A new Section 2 (c) is hereby added to read in its entirety as follows: (c) The Commitment shall terminate upon the occurrence of either of the following events: (i) Any person or group (an "other entity"), within the meaning of Section 13 (d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shall attain beneficial ownership, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or at least 50% of the voting power for election of the Directors of the Issuer, or, (ii) The Issuer, directly or indirectly, consolidates or merges with any other entity or sells or leases its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity, provided that this clause shall not apply to a transaction in which the Company is the surviving company in any merger or consolidation and in which the stock issued in such a transaction is less than 40% of the common stock of the Company issued and outstanding after the transaction. 6.
