ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On January 21, 2003, the Board of Directors of AptarGroup, Inc, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), adopted a stockholder rights plan and
declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the
Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share, to stockholders of record as
of the close of business on April 7, 2003 (the "record date"). This plan
replaces the existing rights plan upon its expiration in April 2003. The terms
of this new plan are substantially similar to the expiring plan. Until the
rights become exercisable, all issuances of common stock after the record date,
including common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, will
include issuances of rights.
