specialty waterproofing markets out of our specialty reportable segment and into our industrial reportable segment which better aligns our management structure. For each of the three fiscal years in the period ended May&nbsp;31, 2016, this group of
businesses approximated 1% or less of our consolidated net sales. Furthermore, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 &#147;Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs&#148; on June 1, 2016, which resulted in a retrospective
elimination of deferred debt costs and a corresponding decrease of debt that does not impact Net Income as previously reported and has less than a 1% impact on Total Assets and Long-Term Debt, less current maturities, as presented in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May&nbsp;31, 2016. Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended August 31, 2016, November 30, 2016 and February 28, 2017 reflect these changes. We have not

connection with shares of common stock issued subsequently until the distribution date, and, in certain circumstances, for shares of common stock issued after the distribution date referred to below. Each right, when it becomes exercisable as
described below, will entitle the registered holder to purchase from us one-tenth of a share of common stock at a price of $7.00 or $70.00 per whole share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. A more detailed description and the terms of
the rights are set forth in the rights agreement. The rights will not be exercisable until the distribution date and will expire on the tenth annual anniversary of the rights agreement, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by us. Until a right is
exercised, the holder, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder, including the right to vote or to receive dividends. </P>

names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Debt Securities in definitive form and will not be considered owners or holders of Debt Securities under the Indenture. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest
in a global security must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if that person is not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the participant through which that person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of Debt Securities. The laws
of some jurisdictions may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in certificated form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial owners may

may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers, and other institutions are open for business in the United States. In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the securities through these
systems and wish to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, on a particular day may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day

any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director,

settlement incurred in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation, indemnity

the corporation unless and to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought determines that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Moreover, Section&nbsp;145 provides for mandatory indemnification of a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the extent that such person has been
successful in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and provides that a corporation may pay the expenses of an officer or director in defending an action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is
ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. Section&nbsp;145 establishes provisions for determining that a given person is entitled to indemnification, and also provides that the indemnification provided by or granted
under Section&nbsp;145 is not exclusive of any rights to indemnity or advancement of expenses to which such person may be entitled under any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law,</FONT> agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors
