           Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper"), Coopind Inc. ("Coopind") and CS
Holdings International Inc. ("CS International") hereby amend their Schedule
13D, dated June 1, 1994, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated February
3, 1995 (as amended, the "Schedule 13D"), which relates to the common stock,
par value $1.00 per share (the "Company Common Stock"), of Wyman-Gordon
Company, a Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), as set forth below.

           ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

           Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

           On April 5, 1995, CS Holdings Inc. changed its name to Coopind Inc.
All references in this Schedule 13D to CS Holdings mean Coopind.

                 Effective June 30, 1995, Cooper split off Cooper Cameron
      Corporation, the new company created to hold Cooper's petroleum and
      industrial equipment business, pursuant to an offer to Cooper's
      shareholders to exchange shares of Cooper common stock for up to 85.5% of
      the outstanding shares of common stock of Cooper Cameron Corporation. As
      a result of the transaction, Cooper is no longer engaged in the petroleum
      and industrial equipment business.

                 Schedule A is hereby amended to reflect certain management
      changes at Cooper, Coopind and CS International.

           ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

           Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

                On October 17, 1995, Cooper filed a Registration Statement on 
      Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Cooper S-3")
      for the offering (the "Offering") of three-year notes exchangeable into
      15,000,000 Shares in the form of 15,000,000 DECS(sm) (Debt Exchangeable
      for Common Stock(sm)) ("DECS"). An additional 1,500,000 DECS will be 
      offered if the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters by Cooper
      is exercised in full. Upon maturity, holders of DECS will receive, in
      exchange for the principal amount of the notes, Shares or, at Cooper's
      option, cash in lieu of such Shares. The number of Shares or the amount of
      cash will be based on the market price of the Company





                                       5
<PAGE>   6
      Common Stock shortly before the maturity of the DECS.

                 If the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option,
      Cooper may sell such Shares which they then own from time to time in open
      market or privately negotiated transactions, depending upon, among other
      things, market conditions.

                 The foregoing is a summary of the information set forth in the
      Cooper S-3 and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Cooper
      S-3 which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated herein
      by reference.

                 On October 17, 1995, Cooper issued a press release relating to
      the Offering, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6 and is
      incorporated herein by reference.

           ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
                   WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

           Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

                 In connection with Offering, Cooper and the Company
      contemplate entering into an Underwriting Agreement with the underwriters
      for the Offering (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Underwriting
      Agreement will contain terms and conditions customary for an offering of
      DECS, including, without limitation, with respect to the purchase by the
      underwriters of the DECS from Cooper, the purchase price therefor, an
      over-allotment option for the underwriters to purchase up to an additional
      1,500,000 DECS from Cooper, an agreement by Cooper and the Company not to
      sell any Shares or other shares of Company Common Stock, as the case may
      be, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or warrants
      to acquire, shares of Company Common Stock for a period of 90 days after
      the date of the Cooper prospectus in respect of the DECS and
      indemnification by and among the parties.

                 The information set forth in the Cooper S-3 which is attached
      hereto as Exhibit 99.5 is incorporated herein by reference, including in
      particular the information with respect to the Indenture pursuant to
      which the DECS will be issued.

COOPER PLANS TO OFFER NEW DEBT EXCHANGEABLE FOR WYMAN-GORDON STOCK

HOUSTON, Oct. 17 -- Cooper Industries, Inc. (NYSE-CBE) today filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
offering of three-year notes exchangeable into common stock of Wyman-Gordon
Company (NASDAQ-WYMN) in the form of 15 million DECS(sm) (Debt Exchangeable
for Common Stock(sm)). An additional 1.5 million DECS will be offered if the
underwriters' over-allotment is exercised in full.

         At maturity, holders of DECS will receive, in exchange for the
principal amount of the notes, shares of Wyman-Gordon or, at Cooper's option,
cash in lieu of the shares. The number of shares or the amount of cash will be
based on the price of Wyman-Gordon common stock shortly before the maturity of
the DECS. Based on Wyman-Gordon's October 16, 1995 closing stock price of
$12.75 per share, the principal amount of the DECS offered would be $191.3
million, or $210.4 million if the over-allotment is exercised.

         If the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option, Cooper
may sell the Wyman-Gordon shares that were subject to the option from time to
time in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. Wyman-Gordon also
filed a registration statement for Cooper's shares of Wyman-Gordon common
stock.

         The DECS are being offered through a syndicate led by Salomon
Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Schroder Wertheim.

         Cooper plans to use the proceeds from the DECS offering for general
corporate purposes. "The DECS offering is one of several actions we are taking
to increase our financial flexibility and allow Cooper to continue to grow,"
said H. John Riley, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Cooper.

         Cooper currently owns 16.5 million shares of Wyman-Gordon's common
stock, or approximately 47 percent of the outstanding shares. Cooper received
these shares in May 1994 in connection with the sale of its Cameron Forged
Products Company to Wyman-Gordon. If Cooper elects to exchange DECS for shares
of Wyman-Gordon at maturity, its equity interest in Wyman-Gordon will be
substantially reduced or eliminated, depending on the price of Wyman-Gordon
common stock at that time.

         Wyman-Gordon Company is a leading manufacturer of high quality,
technologically advanced forgings, investment castings and composite structures
for the commercial transportation, commercial power and defense industries.

         Cooper Industries is a diversified, worldwide manufacturer of
electrical products, tools and hardware, and automotive products.
