ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On November 19, 2001, Dal-Tile International Inc. ("Dal-Tile") and
Mohawk Industries, Inc. ("Mohawk") announced that they had entered into a
definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Mohawk will acquire Dal-Tile
(the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
stockholders of Dal-Tile will receive for each share of Dal-Tile common stock
$11.00 in cash plus a fraction of a share of Mohawk common stock based upon
an exchange ratio that is subject to limited adjustment and is initially
established at .2414 of a share of Mohawk common stock. The exchange ratio
remains constant at .2414 to the extent the "average closing price" of Mohawk
common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the third trading day before
the closing of the merger is greater than or equal to $41.00 per share or
less than or equal to $50.12. The exchange ratio adjusts if the average
closing price of Mohawk common stock is greater than or equal to $36.45 and
less than $41.00 or if the average closing price is greater than $50.12 and
less than or equal to $54.67 as follows: (i) if the average closing price of
Mohawk common stock is greater than or equal to $36.45 and less than $41.00,
Dal-Tile common stock will be exchanged for Mohawk common stock at a ratio
equal to $9.90 divided by the average closing price; (ii) if the average
closing price of Mohawk common stock is greater than $50.12 and less than or
equal to $54.67, Dal-Tile common stock will be exchanged at a ratio equal to
$12.10 divided by the average closing price. The exchange ratio is fixed at
 .2716 if the average closing price of Mohawk common stock is less than $36.45
and at .2213 if the average closing price is greater than $54.67.

         The proposed merger is subject to approval by the stockholders of
both companies. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Jacques R. Sardas,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dal-Tile, three other officers and
the remaining four directors of Dal-Tile have entered into agreements to vote
shares of Dal-Tile held by them in favor of the proposed merger transaction.
These parties collectively hold approximately 1.49% of Dal-Tile's outstanding
common stock and options to purchase an additional 8,562,000 shares of
Dal-Tile common stock. Additionally, Aladdin Partners, L.P., holder of
9,900,000 shares, or approximately 18.8% of Mohawk common stock, has entered
into a voting agreement to vote shares held by it in favor of the proposed
merger transaction.

The proposed merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization
pursuant to Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Closing of the
proposed merger is subject to clearance or expiration of the applicable
waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
and the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Law, and the satisfaction of
other customary closing conditions.

         The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement, the press release announcing the proposed merger and the
voting agreements, which are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated
herein by reference in their entirety.
