Item 5.  Other Events

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF RIGHTS AGREEMENT

                  On April 1, 2004, the Board of Directors of Ryerson Tull,
Inc. (the "Company"), approved an amendment and restatement (the "Restatement")
of the Rights Agreement, as amended and restated as of December 10, 1998 and
further amended and restated as of September 22, 1999, between the Company and
The Bank of New York (the "Rights Agent"), as successor Rights Agent to Harris
Trust and Savings Bank (the "Rights Agreement"). The Restatement removes
provisions in the Rights Agreement that provided that, during the six month
period following a change of control of the Board of Directors of the Company
(resulting in a majority of the Board of Directors being comprised of persons
who were not nominated by the Board of Directors in office immediately prior to
such election) that occurs within nine months after an unsolicited third party
acquisition or business combination proposal, the Rights would only be
redeemable by the Board of Directors either (1) if they have followed certain
prescribed procedures or (2) in any other case, provided that, if in any such
other case their decision regarding redemption and any acquisition or business
combination is challenged as a breach of fiduciary duty of care or loyalty, the
directors can establish the entire fairness of such decision without the
benefit of any business judgment rule or other presumption.

                  The foregoing description of the Restatement does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and
restated Rights Agreement which is attached hereto as an exhibit and
incorporated herein by reference.
