PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT CCS-65 AFFIDAVIT OF RICHARD L* KRZYZANOWSKI > COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA ) ) ss.: COUNTY OF PHILADELPHIA ) I, RICHARD L. KRZYZANOWSKI, upon personal knowledge, depose and say: > 1. I am the former Secretary and General Counsel for defendant Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. ("Crown"), a position from which I retired in January of2000 after > over 30 years of service at Crown, and am authorized by Crown to make this affidavit in support of Crown's Motion for Summary Judgment on the basis ofthe Act dated December 17,2001, 15 P.S.CA. Section 1929.1 (Senate Bill 219 of2001) entitled, I "Limitations on Asbestos-Related Liabilities Relating to Certain Mergers or Consolidations." I make this affidavit based upon personal knowledge and upon the information contained in the true and correct copies ofthe documents attached to this > affidavit as Exhibits 1-3. 2. Crown is a manufacturer and distributor ofa variety offood and beverage > packaging products. Crown has never manufactured, distributed, advertised, sold or installed any asbestos-containing (or other) insulation products, since its incorporation. 3. In 1963, Crown was the nation's largest producer and seller ofmetal bottle caps lined with cork, also known as crowns. In 1963, Mundet Cork Corporation ("Mundet Cork"), also a manufacturer ofbottle metal caps and, thus, a competitor of > Crown in that business, was the sixth largest producer and seller of metal bottle caps. On November 7,1963, Crown entered into an agreement to purchase the majority ofthe stock of Mundet Cork. The majority shareholder ofMundet Cork, Joseph J. Mundet, had died and his estate had offered his shares for sale. Crown was primarily interested in purchasing the assets ofMundet Cork associated with its competing bottle cap I operations, and, in particular, Mundet Cork's North Bergen, NJ. plant locatioa Crown was interested in this location because it was conveniently close to New York and therefore useful in reducing Crown's costs for transporting cans to Crown's New York customers. 4. Consequently, on November 13, 1963, Crown purchased the majority of the outstanding stock in Mundet Cork from the Mundet estate. No Crown stock was exchanged for Mundet Cork's stock. Crown paid the total sum of approximately Seven Million ($7,000,000.) Dollars for the Mundet Cork Stock. 5. Subsequent to Crown's purchase ofsome ofMundet Cork stock on November 13, 1963, Mundet Cork remained a separate New York corporation until 1966. 6. On February 10,1966, Mundet Cork was merged with Crown in the State ofNew York. A copy ofthe merger documents is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 7. On March 30, 1989, Crown was reincorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and consolidated through merger on May 1,1989. A copy ofthe Articles ofIncorporation is attached as Exhibit 2. 8.. At the time ofthe stock acquisition, Mundet Cork's business included the following relevant divisions: (1) the closure (Le.. bottle cap) division, which held the assets in which Crown was interested; and (2) the insulation division, which, among other things, manufactured, sold, and contracted to install insulation products. 9. In the summer of 1963, prior to Crown's acquisition ofMundet Cork's stock, Mundet Cork ceased manufacturing insulation products. Immediately after the acquisition ofthe Mundet Cork stock, Mundet Cork, at the request of Crown their majority shareholder, began looking for a buyer for the insulation division. H"), a manufacturer and seller ofasbestos-containing insulation products. Pursuant to a Bill ofSale and Assignment, B-E-H purchased all ofMundet Code's insulation product inventory; all ofMundet Cork's insulation contracts; all ofMundet Cork's insulation raw materials; Mundet Cork's accounts receivables relating to its insulation business, including receivables from both product manufacturing and product installation; Mundet Cork's insulation manufacturing machinery, tools, and equipment; the insulation division's branch offices; Mundet Code's rights, titles, and interest in all insulation contracts; the right to Mundet Code's trade names and trademarks for use in the manufacture ofinsulation products; and a negative covenant from Mundet Cork not to compete with B-E-H in the production ofmagnesia or calcium silicate products. B-E-H also expressly assumed all liabilities and obligations ofMundet Code arising from and after February 8, 1964, under the relevant Mundet Cork leases, contracts, and performance bonds. A copy ofthe Bill of Sale and Assignment, dated February 8,1964, is attached as Exhibit 3. 11. No former employees ofMundet Code's insulation division came to work for Crown, and Crown retained no former officers ofMundet Cork. All documents and records related to the transferred assets were acquired by B-E-H. See id. 12. During 1964, Mundet Cork's crown manufacturing equipment was replaced with more modem and updated equipment. Aluminum can manufacturing equipment was also added to the North Bergen plant. 13. It was Crown's intention and understanding that in entering into the Bill of Sale and Assignment with B-E-H on February 8,1964, Mundet Cork had sold the entire business and product line ofthe Insulation Division to B-E-H. See id. * 14. Although referred to as a division ofCrown for accounting purposes, Mundet Cork remained a separate corporation until February 10,1966 when merged with Crown. 15. Crown's intention in "merging" the remaining Mundet Cork assets into Crown in 1966 was to transfer and consolidate Mundet Cork's residual bottle cap operation assets into Crown. By the time ofthat "merger", Mundet Cork had long since divested itself ofany vestiges of its previous insulation operations. 16. Notwithstanding Crown's complete tack ofinvolvement in the asbestos insulation business, by the late 1970's, Crown found itself embroiled in asbestos litigation. By December 31,2001, Crown had paid or committed to be paid over $336,000,000. for asbestos claims as more folly described in the Affidavit ofAlfred J. Dermody, Manager of Budget and Finance and Planning ofCrown, also attached to this > Motion for Summary Judgment. Sworn to before me this 2-6^ dayof3ttA I ,2002. L<juuJ> J- * RICHARD L.
