(1) In addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities
Act of 1933, this Registration Statement also covers an
indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold
pursuant to the employee benefit plan described herein.
(2) Pursuant to Rule 457(h), estimated solely for the purpose of
computing the registration fee, based upon the average of
the high and low sales prices of the Registrant's Common
Stock on the Nasdaq National Market on October 23, 2002.
(3) This Registration Statement registers additional securities
that may be issued under the Modine 401(k) Retirement Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Plan"). Effective as of
December 31, 2001, the Modine 401(k) Retirement Plan for
Hourly Union Employees (the "Hourly Union Plan") and the
savings or 401(k) plans of certain subsidiaries of the
Registrant, insofar as such plans provide for employees
classified as hourly-paid, were merged into the Modine
401(k) Retirement Plan for Hourly Non-Union Employees (the
"Hourly Non-Union Plan"), with the Hourly Non-Union Plan
being the surviving and continuing plan, and renamed the
Modine 401(k) Retirement Plan for Hourly Employees, the Plan
to which this Registration Statement relates. The
Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8 filed and
effective on October 20, 2000 registered 250,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Hourly Non-Union Plan
(Registration No. 333-48290) and registered 250,000 shares
of Common Stock issuable under the Hourly Union Plan
(Registration No. 333-48298) (collectively, the "Prior S-
8s"). As of the date hereof, a total of 323,260 shares of
Common Stock registered under the Prior S-8s (159,793)
shares of Common Stock registered under the Hourly Union
Plan S-8 and 163,467 shares of Common Stock registered under
the Hourly Non-Union Plan S-8) (the "Remaining Shares") have
not been issued and are, therefore, carried forward and
considered registered under this Registration Statement.
The pro rata filing fee paid with respect to the Remaining
Shares was $2,176.19 ($1,075.73 under the Hourly Union Plan
and $1,100.46 under the Hourly Non-Union Plan). Because the
Remaining Shares are carried forward to this Registration
Statement, no filing fee is paid hereunder with respect to
such shares. The Prior S-8s are being amended for the purpose
of describing the carry forward of the Remaining Shares to this
Registration Statement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
Information specified in Part I of Form S-8 (Parts 1 and 2)
will be sent or given to employees eligible to participate in the
Plan as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
------ ---------------------------------------
This Registration Statement registers additional securities
of the same class as other securities for which registration
statements filed on Form S-8 relating to the same employee
benefit plan and its predecessors are effective. The contents of
the following documents filed by Modine Manufacturing Company
(the "Registrant" or "Modine") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (File No. 1-1373) are incorporated herein by
reference:
(a) The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8
filed on October 20, 2000 (Registration No. 333-48290),
as amended, relating to the Modine 401(k) Retirement
Plan for Hourly Non-Union Employees.
(b) The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8
filed on October 20, 2000 (Registration No. 333-48298),
as amended, relating to the Modine 401(k) Retirement
Plan for Hourly Union Employees.
However, as indicated in Note 3 to the fee table, the Remaining
Shares available under such earlier registration statements are
being carried forward to this Registration Statement. Also, the
Registrant has elected not to rely upon General Instruction E to
Form S-8, which permits the filing of an abbreviated registration
statement for the registration of additional securities for an
employee benefit plan for which an earlier S-8 registration is
effective. Instead, this Registration Statement responds to all
applicable items of Form S-8.
The following documents filed by the Registrant and the Plan
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are
incorporated herein by reference:
(i) Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2002.
(ii) Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 26, 2002.
(iii) Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on
April 1, 2002, April 2, 2002, July 19, 2002, July 22,
2002 and October 17, 2002 (two reports).
(iv) The description of the Registrant's Common Stock
contained in its Form 10, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 1, 1935, as amended and
supplemented by the description contained under the
caption "Description of Modine Common Stock" in the
proxy statement/prospectus which forms a part of the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No.
333-56648) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 7, 2001, as amended by Amendment
No. 1 thereto on Form S-4/A filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2001, and any
future amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
(v) Registrant's Form 15-12G with respect to termination of
registration of preferred share purchase rights filed
September 9, 2002.
(vi) Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001 filed on June 27, 2002 by the Modine
401(k) Retirement Plan for Hourly Non-Union Employees.
(vii) Annual Report on Form 11-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001 filed on June 27, 2002 by the Modine
401(k) Retirement Plan for Hourly Union Employees.
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant or the
Plan pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold
or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part
hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes hereof to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed
document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except
as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part hereof.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
------ -------------------------
Not applicable. See point (iv) in Item 3 above.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
------ --------------------------------------
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
------ -----------------------------------------
Modine is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business
Corporation Law (the "WBCL").
Under Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, Modine is required to
indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a
proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the
proceeding if such person was a party because he or she was a
director or officer of Modine. In all other cases, Modine is
required by Section 180.0851(2) to indemnify a director or
officer against liability incurred in a proceeding to which such
person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of
Modine, unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed
to perform a duty owed to Modine and the breach or failure to
perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with
Modine or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which
the director or officer has a material conflict of interest; (ii)
a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
(iii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an
improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. Section
180.0858(1) provides that, subject to certain limitations, the
mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any
additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that
a director or officer may have under Modine's articles of
incorporation, bylaws, a written agreement or a resolution of the
board of directors or shareholders.
Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public
policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit
indemnification, allowance of expenses and insurance to the
extent required or permitted under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858
of the WBCL, for any liability incurred in connection with a
proceeding involving a federal or state statute, rule or
regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of securities.
Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain
exceptions, a director is not liable to a corporation, its
shareholders, or any person asserting rights on behalf of the
corporation or its shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees,
fines, penalties or other monetary liabilities arising from a
breach of, or failure to perform, any duty resulting solely from
his or her status as a director, unless the person asserting
liability proves that the breach or failure to perform
constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory
indemnification under Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.
Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of Modine
against whom claims are asserted with respect to the declaration
of improper dividends or distributions to shareholders or certain
other improper acts which they approved are entitled to
contribution from other directors who approved such actions and
from shareholders who knowingly accepted an improper dividend or
distribution, as provided therein.
Article IV of Modine's Bylaws provides for the
indemnification of directors and officers. Directors and
officers of Modine are also covered by directors' and officers'
liability insurance under which they are insured (subject to
certain exceptions and limitations specified in the policy)
against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to
which they are parties by reason of being or having been
directors or officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
------ -----------------------------------
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
------ --------
See Exhibit Index following the Signatures page(s) in this
Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
------ ------------
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (in accordance
with the corresponding lettered undertakings in Item 512 of
Regulation S-K):
(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of
the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs
is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b) That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
. . .
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the provisions referred to in Item 6 of this registration
statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of Racine, State of Wisconsin, on the 25th day of October, 2002.
