ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS


Net sales and net income of Maverick Tube Corporation (the "Registrant") for the
period which  commenced  October 1, 2000 and ended October 31, 2000,  were $55.6
million and $3.2 million,  respectively.  On September 22, 2000,  the Registrant
completed its business  combination  with Prudential  Steel Ltd.  ("Prudential")
pursuant  to a plan of  arrangement  implemented  by means of a share  for share
exchange. Such transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
net sales and net income  amounts set forth above  include  more than 30 days of
combined  operations of the  Registrant  and  Prudential.  This  information  is
reported for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Accounting Series Release 135. This information includes operations from part of
the fourth quarter of the Registrant's  fiscal year ending December 31, 2000 and
is not necessarily  indicative of the results of operation of the Registrant for
the 3-month or 12-month periods ending December 31, 2000.

On December 4, 2000,  the Company  announced the  resignation of Barry R. Pearl,
Vice President and Chief  Financial  Officer.  The Company has not yet announced
the appointment of Mr. Pearl's successor.

As  previously  reported on Form 8-K filed on September  25,  2000,  on June 11,
2000,  the  Reistrant  and  Prudential  entered  into a  definitive  Combination
Agreement  providing for the combination of Prudential with the Registrant.  The
transaction  was  completed on  September  22, 2000.  The  Registrant  is filing
herewith certain financial information,  including restated audited consolidated
financial  statements of the Registrant for the years ended  September 30, 1999,
1998 and 1997, together with the related Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Registrant, which are being
filed as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K and are  incorporated  herein by reference.
Also  incorporated  herein by reference is the independent  accountant's  report
filed as part of Exhibit 99.

The supplemental  consolidated  financial  statements give retroactive effect to
the merger of the  Registrant  and  Prudential on September 22, 2000,  which has
been  accounted  for using the pooling of interest  method as described in these
supplemental  consolidated  financial statements.  Accordingly,  the Company has
restated the consolidated  financial statements and all financial information to
reflect  the  combined  operations,  financial  position  and cash flows of both
companies.

Pursuant to Rule  11-02(c) of  Regulation  S-X,  the filing of restated  audited
financial  information as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K eliminates the requirement
to include pro forma  financial  information  in Item 7 in an  amendment  to the
Company's Form 8-K filed on September 25, 2000.
