Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K, the following information shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Olin Corporation (“Olin”) disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise this information.

On July 10, 2006, Olin finalized a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) which covers the periods 1997-2001 and resolves all material outstanding tax exposures with the IRS, including those related to the tax treatment associated with capital losses generated in 1997. In anticipation of this settlement, in May 2006, Olin made a payment to the IRS of $44.0 million, less than the amount Olin had previously reserved. Therefore, Olin expects to reduce its reported income tax expense during 2006 by approximately $18 million. Olin expects to make additional tax payments of approximately $5.0 million to various state and local jurisdictions following this settlement with the IRS.
