Other Events On February 20, 1996, the United States Supreme Court denied the petition of Tyson Foods, Inc. for a writ of certiorari in its litigation with WLR Foods, Inc. and WLR's directors. In its petition, Tyson had asked the Court to grant an appeal from the September 22, 1995 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in favor of WLR Foods and its directors. The Supreme Court proceedings represent Tyson's last opportunity for a reversal of the rulings of the lower courts, and absent a Tyson request for reconsideration, the Supreme Court's denial of Tyson's petition concludes the companies' current litigation, which began in February, 1994. 2 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 thereunto duly authorized.
