The purpose of this Amendment No. 19 is to report that on December 13, 2000, Brae Group, Inc. ("Brae") sold to Victorinox AG, a Swiss corporation ("Victorinox"), 1,917,900 shares of Swiss Army Common Stock (the "Shares") for $5.00 per share, or $9,589,500 in the aggregate. Each of Brae and Mr. Marx is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of only that information concerning each of Brae or Mr. Marx, respectively, contained herein, or in any subsequent amendment, including information relating to Brae's officers, directors and controlling persons, and neither of such parties is responsible for the completeness or accuracy of any information concerning the other party. Neither Brae nor Mr. Marx knows or has reason to believe that any information concerning the other party contained herein is inaccurate and the execution of any subsequent amendment by each party shall constitute a representation by such party that it neither knows nor has reason to believe that any information concerning the other parties contained in such amendment is inaccurate at the time of such execution.

Brae and Mr. Marx may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of such shares. Mr. Marx owns directly 19,730 shares of Common Stock constituting approximately 0.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of such stock as of the date hereof.
