(1)   This   Amendment   No.  3  is  being  filed   because  of  the   Company's
      reclassification  of each issued share of its Common Stock,  $5 par value,
      into one share of Class A Common Stock, $5 par value,  which was effective
      on April 24, 2000 (the "Conversion"), and which resulted in an increase in
      the outstanding  shares of Class A Common Stock from 9.8 million shares to
      22.1 million  shares.  This  increase in the  outstanding  shares caused a
      decrease in Mr. Anton's percentage ownership.

(2)   Represents  (i) 221,321 shares of the Company's  Class A Common Stock,  $5
      par value per share, including 10,000 shares held in a charitable trust of
      which Mr.  Anton is the trustee and has sole voting and  investment  power
      and 50,000  shares held in a grantor  retained  annuity trust of which Mr.
      Anton is a co-trustee  and shares  investment  power,  and (ii) options to
      purchase  275,011  shares  of Class A  Common  Stock  that  are  currently
      exercisable or will become exercisable within the next 60 days.

(3)   As of May 31, 2000, PMA Foundation (the  "Foundation")  beneficially owned
      5,473,450  shares of Class A Common  Stock,  or 24.7% of such  class.  The
      Board of Trustees of the  Foundation  has sole voting power and investment
      power with  respect to the shares of Class A Common  Stock of the  Company
      held by the Foundation.  Mr. Anton is a member of the Board of Trustees of
      the  Foundation  and disclaims  beneficial  ownership of the  Foundation's
      shares,  which are excluded from the shares  reported above. As of May 31,
      2000,  Pennsylvania  Manufacturers'  Association,  Northeast  Branch  ("NE
      Branch")  beneficially  owned  84,600  shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock,
      representing less than 1% of that class of stock. The Board of Trustees of
      NE Branch has sole voting power and  investment  power with respect to the
      shares  held by the NE  Branch.  Mr.  Anton  is a member  of the  Board of
      Trustees of NE Branch and  disclaims  beneficial  ownership of NE Branch's
