Other Events. As previously announced, AIPC has acquired the Mueller's brand pasta business from Bestfoods. On January 12, 2001, AIPC filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the 686,666 shares issued to Bestfoods as part of the purchase price. The contract calls for a target price of $30 per share to be realized by Bestfoods from sale of the shares. The Company agreed to register the shares so that Bestfoods can sell the shares in open market or negotiated transactions. Bestfoods is contractually obligated once the S-3 registration is effective to use reasonable best efforts to sell the shares for the target price of $30 per share. For shares sold by Bestfoods after two years, but less than three years after the closing date, the Company has agreed to a make-whole cash payment to Bestfoods related to any shares sold for less than the target price of $30. Any payments made by AIPC under this provision will lead to adjustments to the equity accounts of AIPC and will not affect purchase price, goodwill, or the Company's earnings. The Company may call the shares at any time for $30 per share. 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 hereunto duly authorized.
