ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
In connection with the lawsuit filed by AlliedSignal, Inc.
("AlliedSignal") on February 26, 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Indiana against The B.F.Goodrich Company
("BFGoodrich"), Coltec Industries Inc ("Coltec") and Menasco Aerospace Ltd.
("Menasco"), BFGoodrich, Coltec and Menasco served motions to dismiss the
lawsuit on March 16, 1999. In addition, at a hearing in connection with
this lawsuit on March 12, 1999, counsel for AlliedSignal indicated that
AlliedSignal would seek a temporary restraining order prior to the special
shareholders meetings scheduled for April 9, 1999 to prevent closing of the
proposed merger transaction between BFGoodrich and Coltec. At this hearing,
the judge presiding over this lawsuit, the Honorable Robert L. Miller, Jr.,
reserved April 29, 1999 and April 30, 1999 for hearing on any preliminary
injunction motion relating to the merger. AlliedSignal has also served on
March 24, 1999 a demand for arbitration with respect to AlliedSignal's
breach of contract claim against Coltec and Menasco. As previously
disclosed, Coltec and BFGoodrich intend to vigorously defend these matters;
however, the outcome of these matters could delay or prevent the merger.
