It planned to use part of the proceeds to redeem $30 million in 12 percent senior subordinated notes issued in 1995, and spend another $1.75 million to redeem 1,733 of more than 6,000 preferred shares outstanding.

Another development of note in 1999 was the appointment of former congressman and football player Jack Kemp to the board of directors.

2003

In the early months of 2003 Hawk posted better than expected results, mostly due to sales realized through product innovation.
