Item 5.  Other Events and Required FD Disclosure.

         On May 30, 2003, Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. (the "Company")
issued a press release, a copy of which is hereby incorporated by reference
and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing that its Board of Directors
has declared a cash dividend of $14.30 per share on the outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock, payable on June 19, 2003 to common stockholders of
record on June 9, 2003.

         The Company's First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the

the Company's contingent distribution rights (the "CDRs") be entitled to share
in proceeds realized from the Company's assets once certain minimum recovery
thresholds are achieved. On May 30, 2003, the Company said that the recovery
to its general unsecured creditors, after giving effect to the dividend
announced on the date hereof and to the distribution from the Company's
disputed claims reserve made on May 15, 2003, will be approximately 89%. As a
result, the Company announced a cash payment of $.01621 per right on its CDRs,
payable on June 19, 2003 to CDR holders of record on June 9, 2003.
