INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement (the "Statement") relates to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 20, 1997 (the "Merger
Agreement") between Dynatech Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation
("Dynatech" or the "Company") and CDRD Merger Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("MergerCo"). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Appendix
A to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed by the Company (the "Proxy Statement")
and is attached hereto as Exhibit (c)(1).
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the merger of
MergerCo into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company continuing as the
surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation"). In the Merger, (i) each
outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Company will be converted into the right to receive $47.75 in
cash and 0.5 shares of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation
(the "Recapitalized Common Stock") (except that any shares held by MergerCo or
held in the Company's treasury will be canceled and any Stockholder who
properly dissents from the Merger will be entitled to appraisal rights under
Massachusetts law); and (ii) each outstanding share of common stock, $.01 par
value per share, of MergerCo ("MergerCo Common Stock") will be converted into
one share of Recapitalized Common Stock.
Immediately prior to the Merger, (a) John F. Reno, Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer, together with two family trusts established by Mr.
Reno, will contribute 40,804 shares of Common Stock to MergerCo in exchange for
799,758 shares of MergerCo Common Stock and (b ) Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund V
Limited Partnership ("CDR Fund V") will purchase 110,790,770 shares of MergerCo
Common Stock for approximately $277 million. In the Merger, all such shares of
MergerCo Common Stock will be converted into Recapitalized Common Stock as
described above. As a result of the Merger and these related transactions,
immediately following the Merger, (x) CDR Fund V will own approximately 92.3% of
the outstanding Recapitalized Common Stock, (y) the stockholders of the Company
prior to the Merger other than Mr. Reno and his family trusts, will own
approximately 7% of the outstanding Recapitalized Common Stock and (z) Mr. Reno
(together with his family trusts) will own approximately 0.7% of the outstanding
Recapitalized Common Stock.
The following cross reference sheet shows the location of certain
information in the Proxy Statement/Registration Statement (the "Proxy
Statement") relating to the Merger filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The information in the Proxy Statement, including all
appendices thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference and the

amendment of the Proxy Statement.
