EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-
105179) filed on May 12, 2003 is filed in order to deregister
securities remaining under such Registration Statement.
On May 12, 2003, the Registrant filed Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (File No. 333-105179) to register 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock
issuable under the Rubbermaid Retirement Plan for Collectively
Bargained Associates (the "Rubbermaid Plan") and an indeterminate
number of participation interests in the Rubbermaid Plan. The
Rubbermaid Plan was subsequently merged into the Newell Rubbermaid
Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Newell Plan"). As of the merger date,
3,357,823 shares of Common Stock remained available for issuance under
the Rubbermaid Plan. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being
filed to deregister the shares and associated participation interests
from issuance under the Rubbermaid Plan and to transfer such shares
and interests to the Newell Plan for issuance thereunder. The
Registrant is concurrently filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8
to reflect the transfer of these shares and interests and the carry
over of the related filing fee.
