NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION The data for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995 have not been audited by independent public accountants but, in the opinion of the Company, reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information at those dates and for those periods. The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 Annual Report to Shareowners and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the fiscal 1997 presentation. (1) During the three month periods ending May 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company derived approximately 22.0% and 23.7%, respectively, of its sales from fees billed to the Partnership by a subsidiary of the Company for operating the Walbridge, Ohio facility. (2) Includes trade receivables due from the Partnership of $580 at May 31, 1996 and $1,752 at February 29, 1996. (3) Preferred Stock, $1.00 Par Value; 10,000,000 Shares Authorized; 7,500,000 Designated Series A Junior Participating Preferred; None Issued. (4) Common Stock, $.02 Par Value; 20,000,000 Shares Authorized; 16,102,018 Shares Issued and 15,413,370 Shares Outstanding at May 31, 1996 and 16,046,398 Shares Issued and 15,357,750 Shares Outstanding at February 29, 1996. (5) Treasury Stock at Cost; 688,648 Shares at May 31, 1996 and February 29, 1996. (6) During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company purchased certain assets of a distributor of solar control and safety window film in the Western U.S. and internationally. Consideration for the purchase, including transaction costs, was $1,500 in subordinated convertible notes ("Notes") and $2,489 in cash. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 7% per annum. The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion price of $20.80 per share. The Notes mature in five equal installments with one series of notes becoming due annually beginning on June 1, 1997. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. 6 (7) On June 25, 1996, the Company filed a Form 8-K regarding the adoption of a new rights agreement. The Company issued a dividend to shareowners of record on July 2, 1996, of one right ("Right") for each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. Each Right entitles shareowners to buy 1/100th of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an initial exercise price of $70.00. The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires, or announces a tender offer, for 20 percent or more of MSC's Common Stock. Upon an acquisition of 20 percent or more of MSC's Common Stock by a person or group, the Rights (other than those held by such person or group) "flip in" to the right to buy the number of shares of MSC's Common Stock valued at two-times the exercise price of the Rights. Additionally, if MSC enters into a merger or other business combination with a person or group owning 20 percent or more of MSC's outstanding Common Stock, the Rights (other than those held by such person or group) "flip over" into the right to buy that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company valued at two-times the exercise price of the Rights. MSC may exchange the Rights for its Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time after a person or group has acquired 20 percent or more of its outstanding Common Stock. MSC will be entitled to redeem the Rights at one cent per Right (payable in Common Stock of the Company, cash or other consideration, at MSC's option) at any time before public disclosure that a 20 percent position has been acquired. The Rights will expire on July 1, 2006, unless previously redeemed or exercised. 7 Summarized Income Statement Information (Unaudited) Walbridge Coatings, An Illinois Partnership
Three Months Ended May 31, (In thousands) 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------- --------- --------- Net Revenues $18,066 $17,256 Gross Profit $ 817 $ 969 Income from Operations $ 187 $ 363 Net Loss $ (169) $ (127)
NOTE: The Net Loss shown above does not directly correlate to the Equity in Results of Partnership shown in the Company's Statement of Income due to certain contractual allocation requirements of the Partnership. The Company's primary financial benefit from participation in the Partnership is in the form of revenues from operating the Walbridge, Ohio facility. These revenues are included in the Company's net sales. 8 MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION FORM 10-Q For the Quarter Ended May 31, 1996 PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Material Sciences Corporation ("MSC" or "Company") operates in one business segment comprised of the following four product groups: laminates and composites, specialty films, coil coating and electrogalvanizing. The following table provides a summary of net sales and the percent of net sales of MSC's product groups.
Net Sales Summary Quarter Ended May 31, - ----------------- --------------------------------------------------- 1996 1995 --------------------- ---------------------- Product Group: Dollars Percent Dollars Percent ------------ -------- ------------ --------- Laminates and Composites $ 15,458 22.5% $ 13,930 23.1% Specialty Films 10,149 14.7% 5,760 9.5% Coil Coating 28,114 40.8% 26,394 43.7% Electrogalvanizing 15,163 22.0% 14,322 23.7% ------------ ------- ----------- -------- $ 68,884 100.0% $ 60,406 100.0% ============ ======= =========== ========
9 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- NET SALES Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 14.0% over the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales of laminates and composites increased by 11.0%; specialty films 76.2%; coil coating 6.5%; and electrogalvanizing 5.9%. LAMINATES AND COMPOSITES During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, laminates and composites sales grew 11.0% over the same period last year. All major products contributed to the increase, which was led by disc brake noise damper materials. SPECIALTY FILMS Sales of specialty films products increased 76.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as compared to the same quarter last year. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of Solar Gard International, Inc. ("SGI") during the third quarter of last year and gains across all major product lines. In addition, at May 31, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of a West Coast distributor, further strengthening its position in this market. COIL COATING Coil coating sales for the three months ended May 31, 1996, were 6.5% higher than the same period in fiscal 1996. Increased sales of building products, clutch plates and automotive trim were partially offset by a decline in truck trailer and fuel tank sales. ELECTROGALVANIZING MSC participates in the electrogalvanizing market through Walbridge Coatings (the "Partnership"), a partnership among subsidiaries of MSC, Bethlehem Steel Corporation ("Bethlehem") and Inland Steel Industries, Inc. ("Inland"). MSC's net sales for electrogalvanizing consists of various fees charged to the Partnership for operating the facility. Bethlehem and Inland are primarily responsible for the sales and marketing activities of the Partnership. The Company's primary financial benefits from the Partnership are the revenues billed to Walbridge Coatings for operating the facility. These revenues represent 22.0% and 23.7% of the Company's net sales in the first three months of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. The profitability for operating the facility is comparable to the Company's overall operating results. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company includes its portion of the Partnership shown in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amounts do not directly correlate to the Company's 50% ownership interest due to contractual allocation requirements of the Partnership agreement. MSC's electrogalvanizing sales increased 5.9% and electrogalvanizing volume increased 4.6% to 126,186 tons in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 120,623 tons in the prior fiscal year 10 period. The increase in sales and volume over the previous first quarter resulted from improved yields and higher line utilization. The sales and marketing responsibilities of the Partnership are split between Bethlehem and Inland at 77% and 23%, respectively. During the first three months of fiscal 1997, Inland utilized only 7% of available production line time rather than its full 23% share. Bethlehem and other customers utilized this additional available line time. Inland is reviewing its future involvement in the Partnership, and therefore, there is no assurance that Inland will utilize its full 23% of available line time on a long-term basis. The Company believes that any short-term disruption in volume that might be caused by a reduction in Inland's line time requirements could eventually be replaced by additional volume from Bethlehem and other customers. GROSS PROFIT MSC's gross profit margin was 27.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 in comparison to 27.4% for the same period last year. The slight decline was related to changes in the product mix, a more competitive pricing environment and lower productivity at our Middletown, Ohio operation, due to an unusually large number of new business qualification trials, offset, in part, by incremental gross profit margin related to the SGI acquisition. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to 16.6% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from 14.8% of sales for the same period last fiscal year. This increase in SG&A was largely due to additional ongoing expenses related to SGI. SG&A was also affected by the Company's continued strategic plan for growth utilizing effective product marketing, research and development and international marketing efforts. TOTAL OTHER (INCOME) AND EXPENSE, NET AND INCOME TAXES Total other (income) and expense, net was income of $.4 million for the first three months of fiscal 1997 as compared to income of $.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company capitalized interest expense of $.3 million, compared to $.1 million in the same period last year. MSC's effective income tax rate was approximately 38.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, MSC utilized $1.8 million of cash from operating activities compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter last year. The decrease in cash utilization is due mainly to the timing of vendor payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses, offset, in part by higher receivables. For the three months ended May 31, 1996, MSC invested $12.4 million in capital improvement projects compared with $4.8 million in the same period last year. The increase in capital expenditures is due to the construction in process of a new coil coating facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. In addition, the Company purchased certain assets of a West Coast distributor 11 of solar control and safety window film for approximately $4.0 million payable in cash and convertible notes. MSC's long-term debt, less current portion, increased at May 31, 1996, to $34.8 million from $16.8 million at fiscal year end due mainly to increased capital expenditures and the acquisition of the West Coast distributor of solar control and safety window film. The Company maintains two unsecured lines of credit totaling $50.0 million. There was $22.0 million outstanding under these lines of credit as of May 31, 1996, versus $4.8 million as of February 29, 1996. The Company has executed letters of credit totaling $4.9 million against these lines leaving available lines of credit of $23.1 million at May 31, 1996. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with available financing (including an increase in a line of credit if required), and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its working capital needs, capital expenditure program and debt amortization. The Company has a capital lease obligation, which was $6.5 million as of May 31, 1996, relating to a facility which the Company subleases to the Partnership. In addition, throughout the term of the Partnership, the Company is contingently responsible for 50% of the Partnership's financing requirements, including the Company's share (approximately $3.4 million) of $6.8 million in Partnership financing loans from third parties at May 31, 1996. MSC continues to participate in the implementation of settlements with the government for the clean-up of various Superfund sites. For additional information, refer to MSC's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996. 12 MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION FORM 10-Q For the Quarter Ended May 31, 1996 PART II.

EX-3.I.A 2 CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK of MATERIAL SCIENCES CORPORATION Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware Material Sciences Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY: That pursuant to the authority conferred upon the Board of Directors by the Certificate of Incorporation of the said Corporation, as amended, the said Board of Directors on June 20, 1996, adopted a resolution creating a series of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock"; RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, a series of Preferred Stock of this Corporation is hereby created and that the designation and amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are as follows: Section 1. Designation and Amount. The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 1,000,000. Such number of shares may be increased by resolution of the Board of Directors. Section 2. Dividends and Distributions. (A)(i) Subject to the prior rights of any other series of Preferred Stock ranking prior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the last day of May, August, November, and February in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $10.00 or (b) the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind), of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Preferred Stock. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be 100. In the event the Corporation shall at any time on or after July 2, 1996 (i) declare or pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect to which holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number in effect by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. (ii) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in this paragraph (A) immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $10.00 per share on the Series B Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. (B) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. Section 3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights: (A) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. (B) Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or by-laws, as amended, or by law, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. (C)(i) If at any time dividends on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") which shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, the holders of Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series B Preferred Stock) upon which these or like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (the "Voting Preferred Stock") with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series, shall have the right to elect two Directors. (ii) During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock as hereinafter provided to increase in certain cases the authorized number of Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of one-third in number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall initially exercise such voting right during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two Directors or, if such voting right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two Directors. If the number of Directors which may be otherwise elected at any annual meeting or a special meeting does not permit the holders of the Voting Preferred Stock to elect two Directors as provided herein, the holders of Voting Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in any default period and during the continuance of such default period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or decreased except with the approval of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock voting separately as a class. (iii) Unless the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than 10% of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, any Vice President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of any such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to specially elect Directors pursuant to this paragraph (C) shall be given to each holder of record of Voting Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such request, or in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than 10% of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders. (iv) During any default period after the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have exercised their rights to elect Directors voting as a class, (x) the Directors so elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class or classes of stock which elected the Director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class or classes of stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence. (v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class to elect two Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors so elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class shall terminate and (z) the number of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the Corporation's by-laws, as amended, or the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, without regard to any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, how ever, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation or the by-laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors. (D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. Section 4. Certain Restrictions. (A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not: (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration, any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock; (ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; (iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of any stock ranking on junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock, except the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (both as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock; or (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. (B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. Section 5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and canceled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of preferred stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Section 6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (A) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received the greater of (i) $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, and (ii) an aggregate amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2(A) hereof) times the aggregate amount to be distributed per share to holders of Common Stock, or (B) to the holders of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series B Preferred Stock and all other such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Section 7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock, securities, cash or other property, then in any such case the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2(A) hereof) times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash or other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged. Section 8. No Redemption. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. Section 9. Ranking. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank junior to, or pari passu with, all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock subsequently issued, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Common Stock as to such matters. Section 10. Amendment. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as heretofore amended, shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Material Sciences Corporation has caused this Certificate to be duly executed in its corporate name on this 20th day of June, 1996.
