Siemens Nixdorf Mid-Range Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
("Purchaser") and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Nixdorf
Informationssysteme AG, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal
Republic of Germany ("SNI AG") and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens
Aktiengesellschaft, a corporation organized under the laws of the Federal
Republic of Germany ("Siemens AG"), to purchase all outstanding shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Pyramid Technology
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") at a price of $16.00 per
Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase dated January 27, 1995 (the "Offer
to Purchase"), the Revised Supplement to the Offer to Purchase dated February
15, 1995 (the "Revised Supplement") and the related Letter of Transmittal
(which together constitute the "Offer"), copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibits (a)(1), (d)(2) and (a)(2), respectively. Capitalized terms not defined
in this Amendment No. 5 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 and

ITEM 6. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.
Item 6 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
Wednesday, March 1, 1995. Based on a preliminary count, 12,970,000 Shares,
representing approximately 79.6% of the outstanding Shares, were tendered

After the Merger, SNI AG will indirectly own 100% of the Company. Shares which
