Item 4 of the Schedule 13D previously filed by the undersigned with respect to
the common stock of USAir Group, Inc. ("USAir") is hereby amended to add the
following:
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
On May 6, 1996, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire") notified USAir, pursuant
to Section 1(b)(v)(C) of the stock purchase agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") dated August 7, 1989 between USAir and Berkshire (previously filed
as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D), of Berkshire's offer to sell to USAir all
358,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of USAir
currently owned by Berkshire (through its subsidiaries). If USAir does not
purchase such shares at the price offered, Berkshire may sell any of such
shares at or above the price offered to USAir in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement during a 90-day period. Any sale other than to USAir will depend
upon the proposed price, terms, and conditions of such sale, market
conditions, and other factors. As previously reported in this Schedule 13D,
Berkshire agreed in the Purchase Agreement, with certain exceptions, that it
will not knowingly sell the shares to any person who would own 3% or more of
the voting securities of USAir as a result of the purchase.
