On September 28, 2000 WHX Corporation issued a press release,
which is set forth as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report, announcing that it is
extending the expiration date for its consent solicitation relating to its 10
1/2% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Notes") until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
October 4, 2000, unless further extended by WHX prior to such time.
WHX further announced that it is increasing the amount of the
payment that WHX will make to each holder of Notes whose consent is received and
accepted prior to the expiration date to $20 in cash for each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes for which a consent has been accepted, as described in the
solicitation statement.
In addition, the consent solicitation was further amended to
provide for additional limitations on certain actions to be taken by WHX,
including without limitation, amending certain covenants and other provisions to
further restrict WHX's ability to exclude certain items from the restricted
payments limitations and to further restrict WHX's use of asset sale proceeds.
These amendments were made pursuant to Supplement No. 1 to
Solicitation Statement, which is set forth as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current
