Item 5. Other Events
On November 24, 2001, Borden, Inc., the Registrant, merged with its wholly owned
subsidiary, Borden Chemical, Inc. In conjunction with the merger, Borden, Inc.,
the surviving corporation, changed its name to Borden Chemical, Inc.
Consequently, all future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission by
the Registrant will be under the name of Borden Chemical, Inc.
The name change reflects the fact that the only operating segment of the Company
and Combined Companies, after the sale of the Company's Consumer Adhesive
business and the Combined Companies' Foods business in the third quarter of
2001, is the Chemical business.
