                           [LETTERHEAD OF NORTHROP]

                                                           FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
                                                           ---------------------

NORTHROP RECEIVED 93.4 PERCENT OF
- ---------------------------------
GRUMMAN STOCK IN TENDER OFFER
- -----------------------------

      LOS ANGELES -- April 17, 1994 -- Northrop Corporation announced today that
the tender offer by its wholly owned Northrop Acquisition, Inc. subsidiary to 
purchase for cash all outstanding shares of Grumman Corporation's common stock 
(including the associated preferred stock purchase rights) at $62 per share 
expired at midnight E.D.T. on Friday, April 15, 1994.

      Northrop has been advised by the depository, Chemical Bank, that as of 
that time there had been tendered and not withdrawn 32,766,109 shares of Grumman
common stock, representing approximately 93.4 percent of their outstanding 
shares on a fully diluted basis.

      Having successfully received at least two thirds of the total number of 
outstanding shares, under New York law Northrop said it will move promptly to 
complete its acquisition of Grumman pursuant to the previously reported merger 
agreement of April 3, 1994.  Following the acquisition, those shares of Grumman 
not tendered under the tender offer and still outstanding will be converted into
the right to receive $62 per share in cash.
