INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 4 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being jointly filed by: (1) Rotonics Manufacturing Inc., a Delaware corporation (“RMI”) and the issuer of the equity securities that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction; and (2) Sherman McKinniss, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of RMI. RMI and Sherman McKinniss are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Filing Persons.” Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 29, 2006 , as amended and restated on December 8, 2006, (the “Merger Agreement”), among Rotonics Holding Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Holding”), RMI Minnesota Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MergerCo”) and RMI, MergerCo will merge with and into RMI, and RMI will remain as the surviving corporation. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Sherman McKinniss will contribute 25% of the outstanding shares of RMI to Holding in exchange for 25% of the outstanding capital stock of Holding.
Upon completion of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of RMI’s common stock (other than shares of RMI’s common stock held by Holding or any of its subsidiaries immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, shares of RMI’s common stock held by RMI or any of its subsidiaries and shares held by RMI’s stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $3.00 in cash without interest.
Following completion of the merger, RMI will continue its operations as a privately held company. Upon completion of the merger, Holding will own 100% of RMI’s common stock.
Concurrently with the filing of this Schedule 13E-3, RMI is filing a definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) pursuant to which the stockholders of RMI will be given notice of the merger and RMI’s board of directors will be soliciting proxies from the stockholders of RMI in connection with the merger.
RMI has supplied all information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement and this Schedule 13E-3 relating to RMI, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and affiliates. Sherman McKinniss has supplied all information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement and this Schedule 13E-3 relating to Mr. McKinniss (other than solely in his capacity as a director and officer of RMI).

In addition to the factors discussed in this Schedule 13E-3 and in the Definitive Proxy Statement, including risks that stockholder approval and regulatory and third party clearances may not be obtained in a timely manner or at all, that an order or injunction may be imposed prohibiting or delaying the merger and that any other conditions to the merger may not be satisfied or waived, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed elsewhere in this Schedule 13E-3 and in the Definitive Proxy Statement, including the appendixes thereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws, the Filing Persons do not intend to update or revise the forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances arising after the date of the preparation of the forward-looking statements.
