Explanatory Note: The sole purpose of this Form 8-K/A is to file the correct version of the press release issued by Olin Corporation on July 10, 2006 which reflects minor changes to the press release filed with the original Form 8-K filed on July 10, 2006.

On June 26, 2006, Olin Corporation (the "Company") commenced an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") a new series of notes due 2016 for up to $125 million of its outstanding 9.125% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "2011 Notes").

On July 10, 2006, the Company issued a press release pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), announcing that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 10, 2006, the amount of its outstanding 2011 Notes tendered in exchange for a new series of notes due 2016 exceeded the $75,000,000 minimum condition of the Exchange Offer.

The total exchange price of the outstanding notes will be calculated as of 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on July 12, 2006, as described in the Offering Memorandum dated June 26, 2006 and the related letter of transmittal, unless the early participation date of July 11, 2006 is extended.

The Exchange Offer is limited to holders of outstanding notes who have certified certain matters to the Company, including their status as "qualified institutional buyers" within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Exchange Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on July 25, 2006, unless extended.

The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
