Current Developments

        On April 2, 1999,  Tyco  International  Ltd.  ("Tyco")  consummated  its
acquisition of AMP  Incorporated.  Shareholders of AMP received 0.7507 shares of
Tyco for each share of AMP.  As a result a total of  approximately  164  million
shares were issued by Tyco to AMP shareholders.

        On May 19, 1999, Tyco entered into a definitive merger agreement for the
acquisition  of Raychem  Corporation in a cash and stock  transaction  valued at
approximated $2.87 billion.  Raychem, with annual revenues of approximately $1.8
billion,  designs,  manufactures and distributes electronic  components.  In the
aggregate,  based upon the number of shares of Raychem  common  stock  currently
outstanding,  Tyco  will  pay  approximately  $1.4  billion  in cash  and  issue
approximately  16.1  million  Tyco common  shares to the  Raychem  stockholders.
Individual Raychem  stockholders will have the right to elect to receive cash or
Tyco  stock,  subject  to  certain  limitations.  According  to  publicly  filed
documents,  as of April 27, 1999,  Raychem had 77,284,866 shares of common stock
outstanding.  The  consummation  of the transaction is contingent upon customary
regulatory  review,  approval by the  Raychem  stockholders  and  certain  other
conditions.  Raychem  is  subject  to  the  informational  requirements  of  the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 and in  accordance  therewith,  files  reports,
proxy  statements  and  other  information  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.
