CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K
GREENWICH AIR SERVICES, INC.
February 13, 1997
Item 5. Other Events.
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with UNC Incorporated.
On February 13, 1997, Greenwich Air Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), UNC Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("UNC"),
and Condor Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Condor"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization of the same date (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the parties
have agreed that UNC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company by
merger of UNC with and into Condor (the "UNC Merger"). The Agreement provides,
among other things, that as a result of the UNC Merger, each UNC Common Stock
Equivalent (as defined in the Agreement) shall be valued at not less than
$14.00, and each holder of UNC Common Stock Equivalents shall be entitled to
receive on the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement) that number of
shares of Class B nonvoting common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the
Company (the "Greenwich Class B Stock") as shall be determined by multiplying
(i) the number of UNC Common Stock Equivalents held by such holder by (ii) the
Exchange Ratio.
As defined in the Agreement, the Exchange Ratio shall mean the fraction
(expressed as a decimal to the nearest ten thousandth) determined as follows:
(a) if the "Closing Date Market Value" (defined in the Agreement as the
mean average of the closing prices of a share of Greenwich Class B Stock, as
reported on The Nasdaq National Market for the twenty trading days ending on the
trading date immediately prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the
Agreement)) is less than or equal to $24.86, the Exchange Ratio shall be the (x)
the Base UNC Equity Value Per Share, divided by (y) the Closing Date Market
Value (with the "Base UNC Equity Value Per Share" defined in the Agreement as
(A) the product obtained by multiplying $14.00 by the number of outstanding UNC
Common Stock Equivalents, divided by (2) the aggregate number of UNC Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding on the Closing Date); or
(b) if the Closing Date Market Value exceeds $24.86, but is less than
or equal to $28.59, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.5632; or
(c) if the Closing Date Market Value exceeds $28.59, then the Exchange
Ratio shall be (x) 115% of the Base UNC Equity Value Per Share divided by (y)
the Closing Date Market Value.

<PAGE>
The Exchange Ratio is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain
events set forth in the Agreement.
The Company has agreed to pay the Merger Consideration (as defined in
the Agreement) to the holders of UNC Common Stock Equivalents solely in shares
of Greenwich Class B Stock. However, subject to the limitations and conditions
set forth in the Agreement, such holders may, pursuant to the procedures set
forth in the Agreement, elect prior to the Closing Date to receive all or any
portion of their Merger Consideration in cash; provided, that in no event shall
the Company be obligated to pay in cash an aggregate amount which shall be in
excess of fifty (50%) percent of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to
all holders of UNC Common Stock Equivalents (computed at $14.00 per share).
The Merger Consideration, as well as the other terms and conditions of
the Agreement, were determined as a result of arm's-length negotiations among
representatives of the parties to the Agreement. Consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement are subject to a number of
conditions, including the approval of the stockholders of each of the Company
and UNC entitled to vote thereon, and certain contemplated debt and equity
financings for the Company.
The information set forth above is qualified in its entirety by
reference to (i) the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1
and (ii) the joint press release issued by the Company and UNC on February 14,
1997, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

THE MERGER
Section 2.1. The Merger.
(a) Greenwich has formed Merger Subsidiary as a
wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Delaware. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, Greenwich will cause Merger Subsidiary
to execute and deliver the Certificate of Merger, and Greenwich, as the sole
stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, will approve the execution, delivery and
performance of the Certificate of Merger by Merger Subsidiary.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the Certificate of Merger, at the Effective Time, UNC shall be
merged into Merger Subsidiary and the separate existence of UNC shall thereupon
cease, with Merger Subsidiary being the surviving corporation in the Merger (the
"Surviving Corporation"). Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, Merger
Subsidiary shall possess all of the rights, privileges, powers and franchises of
each of the Constituent Corporations, and all property, real, personal and
mixed, and all debts due to any of the Constituent Corporations on whatever
account, as well for stock subscriptions as all other things in action or
belonging to each of the Constituent Corporations shall be vested in the
Surviving Corporation; and all property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises, and all and every other interest shall be thereafter as effectually
the property of the Surviving Corporation as they were of the Constituent
Corporations, and the title to any Real Estate vested by deed or otherwise in
any of the Constituent Corporations shall not revert or be in any way impaired
by reason of the Merger; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any
property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved unimpaired,
and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Constituent Corporations shall
thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation, and may be enforced against it
to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or
contracted by it.
(c) The Certificate of Merger shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the parties hereto and their respective legal counsel.
(d) The Certificate of Incorporation of Merger
Subsidiary, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, except that Article
First thereof shall be amended to read as follows:
13
<PAGE>
"FIRST: The name of the Corporation is UNC Incorporated"
and thereafter may be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by
law.
(e) The Bylaws of the Merger Subsidiary as in effect
at the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) The entire board of directors of the Surviving
Corporation shall consist of (i) the existing directors of Merger Subsidiary at
the Effective Time (the "Merger Subsidiary Board"), and (ii) those additional
persons who are listed in Schedule 2.1(f) or who are otherwise acceptable to a
majority of the members of the Merger Subsidiary Board (collectively, with the
Merger Subsidiary Board, the "Surviving Corporation Board"). The members of the
Surviving Corporation Board shall serve until their respective successors are
duly elected and qualified in the manner provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, or as otherwise provided
by law. All of the members of the Board of Directors of UNC shall tender their
written resignations effective as of the Effective Time.
(g) The officers of the Surviving Corporation shall
initially consist of the persons listed in Schedule 2.1(g) or such other persons
acceptable to the Surviving Corporation Board; which officers shall serve until
their successors are duly elected and qualified in the manner provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, or as
otherwise provided by law.
Section 2.2 Merger Consideration.
(a) Base UNC Equity Value. It is the intention of the
parties hereto that, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of any holder: (i) all holders of the UNC Common
Stock Equivalents as at the Effective Time shall be entitled to receive, in the
manner and subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.3, aggregate
consideration (the "Merger Consideration") which shall be calculated based on
the Base UNC Equity Value; and (ii) each such holder of UNC Common Stock
Equivalents shall be entitled to receive, in the manner and subject to the
adjustments set forth in Section 2.3, aggregate Merger Consideration equal to
not less than the number of UNC Common Stock Equivalents owned of record by such
holder on the Closing Date, multiplied by the Base UNC Equity Value Per Share.
As used herein, the term "Base UNC Equity Value Per Share" shall mean (x) the
Base UNC Equity Value divided by (y) the aggregate number of UNC Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding on the Closing Date.
Based upon the 18,276,681 shares of UNC Common Stock
issued and outstanding (other than Treasury Shares, as hereinafter defined) and
the 3,571,429 Preferred Stock Conversion Shares issuable as at December 31,
1996, such Base UNC Equity Value would have been $305,873,540 on such date,
before giving effect to adjustments in such Base UNC Equity Value resulting from
(i) adjustments to the aggregate number of issuable Preferred Stock Conversion
Shares as provided in the Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and (ii)
Exercised Stock Option Shares.
In addition to such Base UNC Equity Value, all
holders of UNC Common Stock Equivalents shall be entitled, to the limited extent
set forth in Section 2.3(b) below, to
14
<PAGE>
participate in certain appreciation, if any, in the market value of shares of
Greenwich Class B Stock between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date.
(b) Payment of Merger Consideration. Greenwich shall
pay the Merger Consideration to the holders of UNC Common Stock Equivalents
solely in shares of Greenwich Class B Stock; provided, that, subject to the
limitations and conditions hereinafter set forth, the holders of UNC Common
Stock Equivalents may, pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.7
hereof, elect prior to the Closing Date to receive all or any portion of their
Merger Consideration in cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, express
or implied, contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Greenwich be
obligated to pay an aggregate amount in cash for all of such UNC Common Stock
Equivalents (the "Cash Merger Consideration") which shall be greater than fifty
(50%) percent of the Base UNC Equity Value (the "Maximum Required Cash Merger
Consideration"); provided, that Greenwich may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, pay Cash Merger Consideration in an aggregate amount up to sixty
(60%) percent of the Base UNC Equity Value; provided, further, that, as a
condition to Greenwich's making aggregate payments of the Cash Merger
Consideration in amounts exceeding the Maximum Required Cash Merger
Consideration, (i) holders of a sufficient number of shares of UNC Common Stock
Equivalents shall have elected to receive Cash Merger Consideration, and (ii)
UNC shall have received a legal opinion from counsel acceptable to it to the
effect that payment of Cash Merger Consideration in an aggregate amount equal to
more than fifty (50%) percent of the Base UNC Equity Value will not adversely
affect the Merger qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(2)(D) of the Code.
Section 2.3 Exchange Ratio.
(a) Each holder of UNC Common Stock Equivalents shall
be entitled to receive on the Effective Date, without any further action on such
holder's part, that number of shares of Greenwich Class B Stock as shall be
determined by multiplying (i) the number of UNC Common Stock Equivalents held by
such holder by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (as hereinafter defined).
(b) For purposes hereof, "Exchange Ratio" shall mean
the fraction (expressed as a decimal to the nearest ten thousandth) determined
as follows:
(i) If the Closing Date Market Value is less
than or equal to $24.86, the Exchange Ratio shall be (A) the Base UNC Equity
Value Per Share divided by (B) the Closing Date Market Value; or
(ii) If the Closing Date Market Value
exceeds $24.86 but is less than or equal to $28.59, the Exchange Ratio shall be
0.5632; or
(iii) If the Closing Date Market Value
exceeds $28.59, then the Exchange Ratio shall be (A) 115% of the Base UNC Equity
Value per Share divided by (B) the Closing Date Market Value.
Section 2.4 Conversion of Securities. The Merger Consideration
shall be issuable on the Effective Time and allocated in the manner hereinafter
set forth.
15
<PAGE>
(a) Merger Subsidiary Shares. All issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Subsidiary shall be converted into
1,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share,
of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Treasury Shares. All issued and outstanding
shares of UNC Common Stock which are held by UNC, any Subsidiary of UNC,
Greenwich, Merger Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of Greenwich (collectively,
the "Treasury Shares") shall be canceled.
(c) Outstanding UNC Common Stock Equivalents. All
remaining issued and outstanding shares of UNC Common Stock Equivalents (other
than Dissenting Shares, as hereinafter defined) shall be canceled and converted
into the right to receive, in full consideration of such shares of UNC Common
Stock Equivalents (i) shares of Greenwich Class B Stock as determined in Section
2.3 or (ii) to the extent elected by a holder of such shares (and available for
payment on a pro-rata basis as hereinafter provided), cash at the rate of the
Base UNC Equity Value Per Share (regardless of the Exchange Ratio then in
effect).
(d) Allocation of Cash Merger Consideration. The Cash
Merger Consideration shall be allocated by the Exchange Agent among each holder
of UNC Common Stock Equivalents, on an equitable pro-rata basis, based upon the
aggregate amount by which the Maximum Required Cash Merger Consideration shall
be less than the aggregate amount in Cash Merger Consideration which all holders
of UNC Common Stock Equivalents shall request to receive hereunder as Merger
Consideration. To the extent that the requested amount of Cash Merger
Consideration shall be greater than the Maximum Required Cash Merger
Consideration (subject to increase of such amount to up to sixty (60%) percent
of the Base UNC Equity Value, as hereinabove provided), the actual Cash Merger
Consideration to be received following the Effective Date by each holder of UNC
Common Stock Equivalents shall be proportionately reduced by allocating the
Maximum Required Cash Merger Consideration among all holders of UNC Common Stock
Equivalents, based upon a percentage equal to (i) the amount by which the Cash
Merger Consideration requested by each holder of UNC Stock Equivalents bears to
(ii) the amount of Cash Merger Consideration requested by all holders of UNC
Stock Equivalents.
(e) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event, and only in the event, that the Merger is approved by less than 90% of
the outstanding UNC Common Stock Equivalents entitled to vote at the UNC
Stockholders' Meeting, UNC Common Stock Equivalents held by any holder who shall
have taken the necessary steps under the DGCL to dissent and demand payment and
is otherwise entitled to such payment under the DGCL, if the DGCL provides for
such payment in connection with the Merger ("Dissenting Shares") shall not be
converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration at or after the
Effective Time unless and until the holder of such Dissenting Shares withdraws
his or her demand for such appraisal with the consent of UNC, if required by the
DGCL, or becomes ineligible for such appraisal. If a holder of Dissenting Shares
shall withdraw his or her demand for such appraisal with the consent of UNC, if
required by the DGCL, or shall become ineligible for such appraisal (through
failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the Effective Time or the
occurrence of such event, whichever last occurs, such holder's Dissenting Shares
shall automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive Merger
Consideration as provided above. UNC shall give Greenwich (i) prompt notice of
any
16
<PAGE>
written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of demands for appraisal and any
other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL received by UNC,
and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect
to demands for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. UNC will not voluntarily
make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal and will not, except
with the prior written consent of Greenwich, settle or offer to settle any such
demands. Each holder of Dissenting Shares shall have only such rights and
remedies as are granted to such a holder under Section 262 of the DGCL.
(f) Stock Options. All unexercised UNC Stock Options
which shall be outstanding as at the Closing Date shall be canceled and
converted into the right to receive, in full consideration of such securities,
either (i) a cash payment equal to the product of multiplying: (A) the aggregate
number of shares of UNC Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such unexercised
UNC Stock Options (the "Unexercised Option Shares"), by (B) the difference
between $14.00 and the applicable exercise price per share attributable to such
Unexercised Option Shares (the "Spread"), or (ii) at Greenwich's election, that
number of shares of Greenwich Class B Stock which shall be equal to the number
of Unexercised Option Shares, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the Spread and the denominator of which is
14 (the "Cashless Exercise").
Section 2.5 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Combination,
Dividends and Distributions. In the event and to the extent that:
(i) Greenwich at any time between the Agreement Date and the
Effective Time of the Merger shall effect a subdivision of its
outstanding shares of Greenwich Common Stock by any manner, the
Exchange Ratio then in effect immediately before the subdivision shall
be proportionately increased and the share totals resulting therefrom
(the "Greenwich Stock Amounts") then in effect immediately before the
subdivision shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, if
Greenwich at any time between the date of this Agreement and the
Effective Time shall combine outstanding shares of Greenwich Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares, all of the Greenwich Exchange
Ratios then in effect immediately before the combination shall be
proportionately decreased and the Greenwich Stock Amounts then in
effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately
decreased. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective
at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination
becomes effective, as the case may be.
(ii) Greenwich at any time between the Agreement Date and the
Effective Time of the Merger make or issue, or fix a record date for
the determination of holders of Greenwich Common Stock entitled to
receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares
of Greenwich Common Stock, then and in each such event:
(A) the Greenwich Exchange Ratios in effect
immediately prior to the issuance of such share
dividend or distribution or, in the event a record
dated is fixed, as of the close of business on such
record date, as the case may be, shall be decreased,
by multiplying the Greenwich Exchange Ratios then in
effect immediately before the issuance or fixing of
the record date,
17
<PAGE>
as the case may be, by a fraction (x) the numerator
of which is the total number of shares of Greenwich
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the fixing of such
record date, and (y) the denominator of which shall
be the total number of shares of Greenwich Class B
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
time of such issuance or the fixing of such record
date plus the number of shares of Greenwich Common
Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution; and
(B) The Greenwich Stock Amounts then in effect shall
be increased as of the time of such issuance or, in
the event such record date is fixed, as of the close
of business on such record date, by multiplying the
Greenwich Stock Amounts then in effect by a fraction
(x) the numerator of which is the total number of
shares of Greenwich Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record date
plus the number of shares of Greenwich Common Stock
issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution,
and (y) the denominator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Greenwich Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the time of such
issuance or the close of business on such record
date;
provided, however, that if such record date if fixed, the adjustments pursuant
to this Section 2.5 are made and such dividend is not fully paid or such
distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exchange Ratio
and the Greenwich Stock Amounts shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close
of business on date fixed for the dividend or distribution, as the case may be,
and thereafter the Exchange Ratio and Greenwich Stock Amounts shall be adjusted
pursuant to this subjection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends
or distributions.
Section 2.6 Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of
Greenwich Class B Stock shall be issued in connection with the conversion of UNC
Common Stock in the Merger and the distribution of Greenwich Class B Stock in
respect thereof, but in lieu of such fraction, the Exchange Agent shall make a
cash payment (without interest) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Date
Market Value of a full share of Greenwich Class B Stock.
Section 2.7. Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Before the Effective Time, Greenwich shall
appoint the Exchange Agent to act as the exchange agent in connection with the
Merger. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, UNC and
Greenwich shall jointly prepare written instructions (which shall be included as
an exhibit to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus) to each holder of UNC Common
Stock Equivalents setting forth the terms of this Agreement and the method by
which each such holder may elect to receive Merger Consideration in the form of
shares of Greenwich Class B Stock and Cash Merger Consideration. From and after
the Effective Time, each holder of a certificate which immediately before the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of UNC Common Stock (a "UNC
Certificate") shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon surrender
thereof to the Exchange Agent (i) payment of the applicable amount of Cash
Merger
18
<PAGE>
Consideration attributable to such shares of Common Stock Equivalents,
and (ii) a certificate or certificates representing the number of whole shares
of Greenwich Class B Stock into which such holder's Common Stock Equivalents
were converted in the Merger (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares).
Immediately before the Effective Time, Greenwich will deliver to the Exchange
Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of UNC Common Stock Equivalents,
shares of Greenwich Class B Stock (together with cash in immediately available
funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Merger Consideration and
cash in lieu of fractional shares, as provided in Section 2.6) necessary to make
the exchanges contemplated hereby on a timely basis.
(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange
Agent shall mail to each record holder of UNC Common Stock Equivalents as of the
Effective Time, a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall
be effected, and risk of loss and title to each UNC Certificate shall pass, only
upon proper delivery of such UNC Certificate to the Exchange Agent) and
instructions for use in effecting the surrender of UNC Certificates in exchange
for payment of the shares of Greenwich Class B Stock (together with cash in lieu
of fractional shares) and the applicable amount of Cash Merger Consideration.
Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a UNC Certificate, together with such
letter of transmittal duly executed, and any other required documents, the
holder of such UNC Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor
the applicable number of shares of Greenwich Class B Stock (together with cash
in lieu of fractional shares) and such holder's applicable Cash Merger
Consideration, and such UNC Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. No holder
of a UNC Certificate shall be entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution from Greenwich with respect to the shares of Greenwich Class B
Stock receivable upon surrender of such UNC Certificate until such holder's UNC
Certificate has been surrendered for a certificate or certificates representing
shares of Greenwich Class B Stock. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to
the holder the amount of any dividends or other distributions (without interest)
which theretofore became payable, but which were not paid by reason of the
foregoing, with respect to the number of whole shares of Greenwich Class B Stock
represented by the certificates issued upon surrender. If payment of the cash
portion of the Merger Consideration per share of UNC Common Stock and/or per
share of UNC Series B Preferred Stock or delivery of Greenwich Class B Stock is
to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the UNC Certificate
surrendered is registered or if any certificate for shares of Greenwich Class B
Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the UNC Certificate
surrendered therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such delivery or
issuance that the UNC Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such
delivery or issuance shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of
such delivery or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the
UNC Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of Greenwich that
such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 2.7, each UNC Certificate shall represent
for all purposes only the right to receive payment of the shares of Greenwich
Class B Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) and cash portion of the
Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.2, without any interest thereon.
(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no
transfers on the stock transfer books of UNC of the shares of UNC Common Stock
or shares of UNC Series B Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately
before the Effective Time. If, after the
19
<PAGE>
Effective Time, UNC Certificates are presented to Greenwich or UNC
for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for payment of the shares of
Greenwich Class B Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) and applicable
amount of per share cash Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.3, in
accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7.
(d) Any shares of Greenwich Class B Stock (and any
accrued dividends and distributions thereon), and any cash delivered to the
Exchange Agent for payment of the applicable per share cash Merger Consideration
or payment in lieu of fractional shares, that remain unclaimed by the former
stockholders of UNC on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be
delivered by the Exchange Agent to Greenwich. Any former stockholders of UNC who
have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only
to Greenwich for satisfaction of their claim for the consideration set forth in
the Certificate of Merger, without any interest thereon.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Greenwich
nor UNC shall be liable to any holder of shares of UNC Common Stock or UNC
Series B Preferred Stock for any payment of the per share cash portion of the
Merger Consideration or for any shares of Greenwich Class B Stock (or dividends
or distributions with respect thereto) delivered to a public official pursuant
to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Section 2.8 Transfer Taxes. If any cash to be paid in the
Merger is to be paid to a person other than the holder in whose name the
certificate representing shares of UNC Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock
surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such
exchange that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or that
the certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper
form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the
Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of
such cash to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate
surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that
such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

liens, encumbrances, charges, claims, restrictions, pledges, security interests
or impositions, except as disclosed in UNC Financial Statements or in Schedule

Greenwich copies of any such written proposal or offer and the contents of any

applicable Law.

result of which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus as then amended or
supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it

each other before issuing any additional press release or otherwise making any
additional public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Certificate of
Merger, the Merger or the transactions contemplated herein and shall not issue

such person will not offer to sell, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Greenwich Class B Stock issued in the Merger, except, in each case, pursuant to
an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 145, as amended
from time to time, or in a transaction which, in the opinion of legal counsel
satisfactory to Greenwich, is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.
Section 6.9. Cashless Exercise of Stock Options. UNC shall use
its best efforts between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date to obtain the
agreement of holders of UNC Stock Options to waive their right to receive
Unexercised Option Shares and, in lieu thereof, agree to accept at the Effective
Time Greenwich Class B Stock in the form of a Cashless Exercise as contemplated
by Section 2.4(C).
Section 6.10. Letter of UNC's Auditors. UNC shall use its best
efforts to obtain a letter of Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. (the "UNC Auditors"),
dated a date within two business days before the date on which the Registration
Statements in connection with both the Proxy/Statement Prospectus and the
Greenwich Securities Offering shall become effective and addressed to UNC, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Greenwich and UNC and customary in
scope and substance for agreed-upon procedures letters delivered by independent
public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to such
Registration Statements.
Section 6.11. Letter of Greenwich's Auditors. Greenwich shall
use its best efforts to obtain a letter of Deloitte & Touche LLP (the "Greenwich

<PAGE>
two business days before the date on which the Registration Statement shall
become effective and addressed to Greenwich, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to UNC and Greenwich and customary in scope and substance for
agreed-upon procedures letters delivered by independent public accountants in
connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement.
Section 6.12. Opinions of Financial Advisors. Each of UNC and
Greenwich shall use its best efforts to cause J.P. Morgan and Salomon,
respectively, to provide its opinion, as of a date no earlier than three
business days before the date that the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is
mailed to stockholders of UNC and Greenwich, to the effect that the Exchange
Ratio and the forms of Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement and
in the Certificate of Merger is fair to the stockholders of UNC and Greenwich,
respectively, from a financial point of view, and shall include such updated
opinions in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Section 6.13. Registration Rights. Greenwich hereby agrees to
the following registration rights, in the event and to the extent that the
Selling Stockholders (as herein defined) shall during the periods described
below shall be unable to avail themselves of the right to effect distributions
of Greenwich Class B Stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or
another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act:
(a) Upon the receipt of a written notice within a
period of two (2) years after the Closing Date from any of those Persons
identified on Schedule 6.13 or any trustee holding shares for the benefit of
such Person (the "UNC Group") requesting Greenwich in writing to register under
the Securities Act shares of Greenwich Class B Stock held by such persons that
represent at least 25% of the shares of Greenwich Class B Stock received by
members of the UNC Group in the Merger, Greenwich shall promptly notify all
other members of the UNC Group in writing of the receipt of such request and any
member of the UNC Group may elect (by written notice sent to Greenwich within
ten business days from the date of such member's receipt of the aforementioned
notice from Greenwich) to have any or all of his shares of Greenwich Class B
Stock included in such registration pursuant to this Section 6.13 (such members
of the UNC Group, together with any other stockholders exercising registration
rights pursuant to Section 6.13(c) hereof, being hereinafter referred to as
"Selling Stockholders"); provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares
included in such registration shall not exceed the aggregate number of shares
received by the members of the UNC Group in the Merger, less the aggregate
number of shares as to which members of the UNC Group have previously exercised
registration rights pursuant to this Section.
(b) As expeditiously as possible, Greenwich will use
its reasonable best efforts to cause the offering of all shares designated in
such request(s) (the "Shares") to be registered under the Securities Act so as
to permit the proposed sale; provided that (i) the Shares with respect to which
such public offering has been requested are reasonably anticipated to have an
aggregate price to the public in excess of $5 million, (ii) Greenwich and the
Selling Stockholders are entitled to register the Shares on Form S-3 (or a
successor form) or would be eligible to use such form but for the failure by
Greenwich to timely file all reports required to be
44
<PAGE>
filed by it under the Exchange Act, and (iii) Greenwich has not commenced or
completed within the previous six months an underwritten public offering.
(c) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing
Date, if Greenwich shall at any time propose to file on its own behalf and/or
the behalf of any other stockholders a registration statement under the
Securities Act for an offering of Greenwich Class B Stock solely for cash on a
form that would also permit registration of shares of Greenwich Class B Stock
held by members of the UNC Group, Greenwich shall give notice of such proposed
registration to each member of the UNC Group as promptly as possible, but in any
event at least thirty (30) days before the initial filing with the SEC of such
registration statement, which notice shall set forth the intended method of
disposition of the shares proposed to be registered by Greenwich. The notice
shall offer to include in such filing the aggregate number of shares of
Greenwich Class B Stock as the Selling Stockholders may request (not to exceed
the aggregate number of shares received by members of the UNC Group in the
Merger, less the number of shares as to which members of the UNC Group have
previously exercised registration rights pursuant to this Section), subject to
this Section 6.13(c). Each member of the UNC Group desiring to have Greenwich
Class B Stock registered under this Section 6.13(c) shall advise Greenwich in
writing within ten (10) business days after the date of notice of such offer
from Greenwich, setting forth the amount of such Greenwich Class B Stock for
which registration is requested. Greenwich shall (except to the extent otherwise
provided in this Section 6.13(c)) thereupon include in such filing the number of
shares of Greenwich Class B Stock for which registration is so requested and
shall use its best efforts to effect registration under the Securities Act of
such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Greenwich shall not be required
to give notice or to include shares in any such registration if the proposed
registration is primarily (A) a registration of a dividend reinvestment, stock
option, employee benefit or compensation plan or of securities issued or
issuable pursuant to any such plan, or (B) a registration of securities proposed
to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of, or in connection with a
merger or consolidation with, another entity; (ii) if Greenwich is advised in
writing by its underwriters that the inclusion of all or any portion of such
shares would in their reasonable opinion jeopardize the success of the proposed
offering, Greenwich may exclude all or such portion of such shares from
registration; (iii) the offering of such shares by the Selling Stockholders
shall be on the same terms as the offering by Greenwich; (iv) in the event other
parties have similar registration rights at the time of the offering, the number
of shares to be registered may be limited by Greenwich pursuant to clause (ii)
of this Section 6.13(c) on a pro rata basis according to the total amount of
shares owned by such parties or on such other basis as may be agreed upon by
such parties (provided that no limitation shall apply to shares offered by
Greenwich for its own account); (v) Greenwich may, without the consent of the
Selling Stockholders, withdraw such registration statement and abandon the
proposed offering in which such persons had requested to participate; and (vi)
Greenwich shall be under no obligation to any Selling Stockholder pursuant to
this Section 6.13(c) unless such persons accept the terms of underwriting agreed
upon by Greenwich and its underwriters.
(d) If Greenwich is required by the provisions of
this Section 6.13 to use its best efforts to effect the registration of any of
its securities under the Securities Act, Greenwich shall, as expeditiously as
possible:
45
<PAGE>
(i) prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement with respect to the Shares and use its best efforts to
cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of
time (not to exceed 180 days) required for the disposition of the Shares by the
Selling Stockholders;
(ii) prepare and file with the SEC such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with
respect to the sale or other disposition of all Shares covered by such
registration statement until the earlier of such time as all of such Shares have
been disposed of in a public offering or the expiration of 180 days;
(iii) furnish to the Selling Stockholders
such number of copies of a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, and such other documents, as such Selling Stockholders may reasonably
request;
(iv) use its best efforts to register or
qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and
Puerto Rico as each Selling Stockholder shall request (provided, however, that
Greenwich shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do
business under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it is not then qualified or
to file any general consent to service of process), and do such other reasonable
acts and things as may be required of it to enable such Selling Stockholder to
consummate the disposition in such jurisdiction of the Shares covered by such
registration statement;
(v) furnish, at the request of any Selling
Stockholder: (1) an opinion, dated the date of the closing, of counsel
representing Greenwich for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the
underwriters and the Selling Stockholders, or if the Shares are not being sold
through underwriters, then to the Selling Stockholders making such request, in
each case customary for the type of offering and concluding, without limitation,
that the registration statement, the related prospectus, and each amendment or
supplement thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of
the SEC thereunder; and (2) a letter, dated the date of the closing, from the
independent certified public accountants of Greenwich, addressed to the
underwriters, or if such Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to
Greenwich and, if feasible, to the Selling Stockholders making such request,
substantially to the effect that they are independent certified public
accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and that, in the opinion of
such accountants, the financial statements and other financial data of Greenwich
included in the registration statement or the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, comply as to form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act. Such opinion of
counsel shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the
registration as the underwriters and the Selling Stockholders may reasonably
request. Such letter from the independent certified public accountants shall
additionally cover such other financial
46
<PAGE>
matters (including information as to the period ending not more than five (5)
business days before the date of such letter) with respect to the registration
in respect of which such letter is being given as the underwriters and the
Selling Stockholders may reasonably request; and
(vi) otherwise use its best efforts to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available
to its stockholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 18
months after the effective date of the registration statement, an earning
statement covering the period of at least 12 months beginning with the first
full month after the effective date of such registration statement, which
earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act.
(e) The obligations of Greenwich under this Section
6.13 are subject to the following terms and limitations:
(i) Greenwich shall be entitled to postpone
for up to three months in any 12-month period the filing of any registration
statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to Section
6.13(a) if, at the time it receives a request for such registration, its Board
of Directors determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such
registration and sale would materially interfere with any financing,
acquisition, corporate reorganization or other material transaction involving
Greenwich then under consideration or would otherwise be detrimental to
Greenwich and its stockholders; provided, however, that the two-year period
contemplated by Section 6.13(a) shall be tolled at any time when Greenwich has
postponed a registration pursuant to this paragraph or is excused from
registering Shares pursuant to Section 6.13(b)(iii) hereof (unless, in the case
of such Section 6.13(b)(iii), Greenwich has notified the members of the UNC
Group in writing that Greenwich will waive the application of such Section with
respect to the subject underwritten public offering);
(ii) in the event of a request for
registration under Section 6.13(a), Greenwich shall use its best efforts
(without being legally bound thereby) to cause sales of shares on behalf of
Selling Stockholders to be made through a nationally recognized investment
banking firm selected by Greenwich which shall act as managing underwriter;
(iii) The Selling Stockholders shall
reimburse Greenwich for all reasonable fees and expenses associated with any
registration and offering of shares for the benefit of members of the UNC Group
pursuant to Section 6.13(a), including, without limitation, all SEC and state
"Blue Sky" filing fees, all fees and expenses of Greenwich's counsel and
accountants, all printing and mailing fees, and the fees and expenses of counsel
for the underwriters, if applicable; and shall pay all underwriting fees or
brokerage commissions, and fees and expenses of any counsel or accountants
retained by any member of the UNC Group in connection with such registration and
offering shall be the sole and exclusive liability and obligation of the UNC
Group (all of the foregoing, whether paid by Greenwich or the UNC Group, are
collectively referred to as, "Registration Expenses"). In the event of a
registration under Section 6.13(a), Greenwich shall not be obligated to pay the
costs related to the preparation of any audited financial statements included in
any registration statement required to be prepared and filed by it
47
<PAGE>
pursuant to Section 6.13(a) as of any date other than the end of its fiscal year
or for any audited financial statements for any period of less than 12 months.
For all other registrations and offerings of shares pursuant to this Section
6.13, the selling UNC Group stockholders shall pay, on a pro rata basis, all
Registration Expenses and other costs and expenses associated with such
registrations and offerings;
(iv) Greenwich shall not be obligated to
provide more than a total of two registrations pursuant to Section 6.13(a) and
Section 6.13(c); provided that in the event any shares are excluded from
registration pursuant to Section 6.13(c) or in the event such registration is
withdrawn or abandoned by Greenwich, the UNC Group stockholders shall have
additional registration rights pursuant to such subsection until such time as
the shares originally proposed to be registered thereunder have been registered
pursuant to this Section;
(v) Greenwich, the Selling Stockholders and
any underwriter of an offering pursuant to any registration statement provided
for in this Section shall have entered into an underwriting agreement or other
agreement containing provisions with respect to the indemnification of the
aforementioned parties in connection with the preparation and use of such
registration statement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Greenwich and any such underwriter (except that no Selling Stockholder shall be
required to undertake any indemnification obligation with respect to information
contained in any registration statement not furnished by such Selling
Stockholder); and
(vi) it shall be a condition precedent to
the obligations of Greenwich under this Section 6.13 that the Selling
Stockholders shall furnish to Greenwich such information regarding the Selling
Stockholders, the shares proposed to be sold and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as Greenwich shall reasonably request.
(f) The registration rights provided herein may not
be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, to any other person; provided,
however, that such registration rights may be assigned to the transferee of any
shares of Greenwich Class B Stock received by a member of the UNC Group in the
Merger (i) if such transfer occurs by will or pursuant to the laws of descent
and distribution, or (ii) if the transferee is a member of the immediate family
of any member of the UNC Group or is a trust for the benefit of any such
persons.
Section 6.14. Indemnification; Insurance.
(a) Except as may be limited by applicable Law, from

Agreement with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time.
(b) Greenwich shall cause to be maintained in effect
for three (3) years from the Effective Time the current policies for directors'
and officers' liability insurance maintained by UNC (provided that Greenwich may
substitute therefor policies of at least the same

advantageous) with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time, to
the extent such insurance is available to Greenwich in the market.

Directors, respectively, will recommend that its stockholders adopt this
Agreement and approve the Merger unless advised in writing by the respective

consultation with Salomon, proceed with the Greenwich Securities Offering either
as a public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement or as a private
offering, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act;

filing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or as
soon thereafter as is practicable, a Registration
Statement in respect of the Greenwich Securities
Offering, and shall, in good faith, use its best
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be
declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable.
Alternatively, if the Greenwich Class B Stock or
other securities are to be offered in a transaction
exempt from the registration requirements of the

directors (and shall use its best efforts to cause
its legal and financial representatives) to assist

of the Registration Statement or information
memorandum, and all amendments thereto, relating to
the UNC Businesses, financial condition, management

require in the Underwriting Agreement or securities

numerical disclosures contained in the Registration
Statement and all exhibits and schedules thereto; and
(C) furnish all documents and other agreements which
counsel for Greenwich and counsel for UNC may
reasonably require or request.

TERMINATION; AMENDMENT; WAIVER
Section 11.1. Termination. Notwithstanding adoption of this
Agreement by stockholders of UNC and Greenwich, this Agreement may be
terminated, and the Merger abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time of
the Merger:
(a) by the mutual consent of the Boards of Directors
of Greenwich, Merger Subsidiary and UNC; or
(b) by either Greenwich or UNC if the Merger shall
not have been consummated on or before the earlier of (i) three Business Days
after the date Greenwich's Registration Statement in respect of the proposed
Greenwich Securities Offering shall have been declared effective by the SEC, or
(ii) June 30, 1997 (the "Outside Effective Time"); provided, that the right to
terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) shall not be available to
any party whose act or omission (which act or omission was solely within such
party's control), shall have resulted in the Outside Effective Time's having
passed without the Merger having been consummated; or
(c) by either Greenwich or UNC, if any court of
competent jurisdiction in the United States or other United States governmental
body shall have issued an order, judgment or decree (other than a temporary
restraining order) restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger
and such order, judgment or decree shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(d) by Greenwich, if any of the following events have
occurred:
(i) the Merger contemplated by this
Agreement is voted upon by holders of UNC Common Stock at the UNC Stockholders'
Meeting, and the votes are not sufficient to satisfy the condition set forth in
Section 7.2; or
(ii) the UNC Board does not recommend in the
Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that UNC's stockholders adopt and approve the
Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby for
any reason other than the occurrence and continuation of a Greenwich Material
Adverse Effect; or
(iii) after recommending in the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus that UNC's stockholders adopt and approve the Merger, this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the UNC Board shall have
withdrawn, modified or amended such recommendation in any respect materially
adverse to Greenwich for any reason other than the occurrence and continuation
of a Greenwich Material Adverse Effect; or
(iv) if there shall occur a breach by UNC of
any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, which breach has a
UNC Material Adverse Effect and is within the actual knowledge of any Person
listed in Schedule 1.46, or UNC shall breach any
57
<PAGE>
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement which makes consummation of
the transaction contemplated hereby either impossible or impracticable for
Greenwich.
(e) by UNC if, before the Effective Time, a Person or
group makes a bona fide proposal with respect to the acquisition of all or
substantially all of UNC's outstanding capital stock or assets, that the Board
of Directors of UNC believes in good faith after consultation with its financial
advisors, is more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders
of UNC than the proposal set forth in this Agreement (a "Superior Proposal");
provided that Greenwich does not (in its sole option) elect to make, within ten
Business Days after receiving notice of such Superior Proposal, an offer that
the Board of Directors of UNC believes, in good faith after consultation with
its financial advisors, is at least as favorable, from a financial point of
view, to the UNC stockholders as such Superior Proposal; or

securities markets generally,

(iii) a UNC Material Adverse Effect,
(iv) the closing price of a share of
Greenwich Class B Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the trading day
immediately preceding a proposed effective date of the Registration
Statement for the contemplated Greenwich Securities Offering or on the
trading day immediately preceding any contemplated Closing Date shall
be $18.46 or less, or
(v) Greenwich shall receive advice from
Greenwich's managing underwriters or bankers that any of the Greenwich
Financings contemplated by Section 6.21 may not (for any of the reasons
specified above, or otherwise) be accomplished on substantially the
terms and conditions described in the Senior Debt Financing Commitment,
Debt Proposal and Equity Proposal which shall have been received by
Greenwich pursuant Section 6.21, or such other terms as shall be
acceptable to Greenwich and that would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on the consolidated Greenwich Businesses and UNC Businesses,
after giving pro forma effect to the Merger contemplated hereby; or
(g) by UNC, if there shall have occurred and shall be
continuing a Greenwich Material Adverse Effect, or by Greenwich, if there shall
have occurred and shall be continuing a UNC Material Adverse Effect,
respectively; or
58
<PAGE>
(h) by UNC, if:
(i) it shall either be acknowledged in
writing by Eugene P. Conese, Sr., Eugene P. Conese, Jr. or Robert J.
Vanaria, or be proven in a court of competent jurisdiction from which
no appeal can or has been taken, that (x) as at the Agreement Date, any
of such persons had actual knowledge of a Greenwich Material Adverse
Effect existing as at the Agreement Date, which causes a material
breach to exist on the Agreement Date of a material Greenwich
representation or warranty set forth in Article IV hereof, and (y)
Eugene P. Conese, Sr., Eugene P. Conese, Jr. or Robert J. Vanaria
willfully and deliberately failed or refused to disclose such Greenwich
Material Adverse Effect to UNC, and (z) as a result of such
nondisclosed Greenwich Material Adverse Effect, Greenwich is unable to
consummate the Greenwich Financings contemplated by Section 6.21
hereof; or
(ii) after all conditions precedent to
Greenwich's obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in this
Agreement, including Article VII and VIII, including all Greenwich
Financings, have been fully performed or are capable of being fully
performed, Eugene P. Conese, Sr. or Eugene P. Conese, Jr. shall have

such payment, legal action is commenced which results in a judgment therefor,
the liable party will pay the plaintiff's reasonable costs (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) in

Section 11.3 constitute full and complete liquidated damages and represent the
sole and exclusive remedies at law of a party electing to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 11.3; provided, that nothing herein contained
shall prevent a party entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement
from applying to and obtaining from a court of competent jurisdiction such
equitable relief as such court may deem proper in the circumstances.

GREENWICH AIR SERVICES TO MERGE WITH UNC
Deal Creates Global Leader in Aviation Services
Miami, Florida - February 14, 1997 - Greenwich Air Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: GASIA
and GASIB) and UNC Incorporated (NYSE: UNC) today announced that they have
reached a definitive agreement to merge UNC into Greenwich Air Services. The
merger effectively establishes Greenwich Air Services as the world's leader in
commercial aviation engine services and business aviation services, with nearly
$1.8 billion in annual revenues.
Under terms of the Merger Agreement - which is subject to shareholder and
regulatory approvals as well as financing requirements - shareholders of UNC
will receive at least $14.00 worth of Greenwich Class B Non-Voting Common Stock
for each share of UNC stock held. The agreement also provides that if the market
price of Greenwich Class B stock rises above $24.86 per share, UNC shareholders
will receive additional value above $14 per share, up to $16.10 of value for
each UNC share held. In addition, Greenwich has offered UNC shareholders the
option of receiving cash in lieu of Greenwich Class B stock up to a maximum of
50% of the total merger consideration, which UNC estimates at not less than $320
million. The trnsatction is expected to be completed in the spring of 1997.
According to Eugene P. Conese, Chairman and Chief Executive OFficer of Greenwich
Air Services, "the merger of UNC into Greenwich achieves Greenwich's primary
goal of building shareholder value by growing the business both internally,
through the addition of new engine lines and customers, and externally through
strategic acquistions. Our combined engine overhaul operations will be able to
service more than 100 different engine models and types. We believe there are
synergies between many of the UNC operations and Greenwich's commercial aviation
engine services, government programs, and aeroderivative engine services,
which should provide significant growth opportunities and cost-savings."
Mr. Conese further stated, "the merger also strengthens Greenwich's three
existing core marketing and technical groups. Commercial aviation engine
services supports a majority of the aircraft engine types used by the world's
leading passenger airlines, overnight package carriers, and freight carriers.
Government services markets engine, aircraft, and accessories overhaul and
repair services to the U.S. military, other government agencies, and 15 foreign
Air Force, Navy, and Army customers. Aeroderivative engine services provides
repair and overhaul for industrial and marine engines as well as worldwide
<PAGE>
management services for the design, sale, refurbishment, and installation of
complete gas turbine power plants."
"The merger expands Greenwich's core businesses to include UNC's Garrett
Aviation Services, a major business aviation services company with full-service
engine, airframe, and avionics capability for business jets and turboprop
aircraft and affords the opportunities for Greenwich to further penetrate the
rapidly growing regional airline market," Mr Conese continued. "Further, it
greatly expands Greenwich's market position in government programs through UNC's
Aviation Services Division. The merger also brings to Greenwich the highly
regarded facilities of UNC's manufacturing businesses: Johnson Technology
(Michigan); Tri Manufacturing and Tri Remanufacturing (Indiana); Aerostructures
and UNC Stearns (Washington); and Artex (Texas)."
"This merger represents a unique opportunity to bring together the two largest
aviation aftermarket companies in the world," Mr. Conese added. "Greenwich has
a solid reputation as a highly effective industry consolidator and skilled
integrator. We are an acknowledged leader in providing commercial aviation
engine services, while UNC is at the forefront of business aviation services and
military/government programs. We believe this merger will also significantly
enhance our ability to capitalize on the outstanding parts repair capabilities
of each of our two companies, as well as build upon UNC's highly regarded parts
manufacturing and repair facilites. We believe the new combined company will
enjoy significant cost-savings in each of our businesses as well as significant
opportunities for revenue growth through new business partnerships. These
savings and benefits, we believe, will allow this transacation to be accretive
to our shareholders after fiscal 1997."
"We are extremely enthusiastic about the prospects for the combined enterprise,"
commented Dan A. Colussy, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of
UNC. "We are effectively combining the two market leaders into the global
industry leader. In addition, we believe this merger will provide positive value
to our shareholders and great long-term benefits to our employees as the
combined entity finds new opportunities to grow."
Mr. Conese will serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the combined
company. Eugene P. Conese, Jr., who currently serves as President and Chief
Operating Officer of Greenwich Air Services, will continue in that position with
the merged entity.
On January 29, Greenwich reported its thirteenth consecutive quarter of record
results. Net sales for the quarter rose 220.1% to $187.5 million; income from
operations for the quarter was $16.0 million, up 188.9% from first quarter 1996;
and net income rose 161.4% to $5.5 million or $0.32 per share fully diluted.
On February 12, UNC reported record earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996. Net income in 1996 was $6.4 million, or $0.35 per
share, up from $1.9 million, or $0.11 per share in 1995. Revenues for the year
were $832.1 million,

<PAGE>
up from $536.2 million the previous year. UNC's Common Stock closed at 10 7/8 on
Thursday, February 13th.
The proposed transaction follows major acquisitions by both UNC and Greenwich
Air Services during the past year. In June 1996, Greenwich completed the $230
million cash acquisition of the Commercial Engine Services Division of Aviall,
Inc., which has been in the business for more than 50 years. The Aviall
transaction established Greenwich as the world's leader in turbine engine
overhaul, with more than $750 million in annualized revenues and the capability
to service a wide range of engine types for commercial and regional airlines
at its nine locations worldwide.
In May 1996, UNC completed its $150 million acquisition of Garrett Aviation
Services, a leading business aviation services company with full-service engine,
airframe, and avionics capability for business jets and turboprop aircraft.
Garrett, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1996, was combined with UNC
Airwork, the company's existing business aircraft operations, to create Garrett
Aviation Services Division. The division had full-year revenues of nearly $600
million in 1996.
Greenwich Air Services, headquartered in Miami, Florida, is the world's largest,
most diversified independent gas turbine engine repair and overhaul company. The
Company provides repair and overhaul services on 14 engine lines and 50 engine
models for 500 customers worldwide. While commercial aviation presently
represents the Company's largest market, Greenwich has seen significant growth
in its government programs unit which supports a variety of military engine
types and provides program management services for various agencies of domestic
and foreign governments. In addition, Greenwich's industrial and marine unit
supports a broad range of aeroderivative engines used in a variety of
applications, including electric utilities, oil and gas pipelines, and
cogeneration. The Company's subsidiary, GTi provides management services, sale
and worldwide installation and operation of complete gas turbine power plants
with electrical power output ranging from 1 to 120 megawatts.
Greenwich, with 3,300 employees worldwide, has operations at Miami International
Airport; Bradley International Airport in Connecticut; JFK International Airport
in New York; Westover Airport in Massachusetts; Melbourne, Florida; Dallas, Ft.
Worth, and McAllen, Texas; and in Prestwick, Scotland.
UNC, based in Annapolis, Maryland, had 7,000 employees in 78 locations
throughout the world. UNC is the world's largest independent aviation services
company, and the global leader in business aviation. UNC occupies a unique
position in the aviation industry by providing a complete array of aviation
services, including airframe maintenance, modification and retrofit services;
avionics and aircraft interior installations; the overhaul and repair of
aircraft accessories, aircraft engines and industrial gas turbine engines; the
provision of aircraft maintenance and pilot training contract services, and the
manufacturing and remanufacturing of jet engine and aircraft components.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except for the historical information contained in this release, the matters
discussed are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal
securities laws. For a variety of reasons, actual results could differ
materially from those described in these statements. Among the factors that
could cause actual results to differ from predicted or expected results are the
following: the company's dependence on a relatively small number of suppliers
and vendors, which could hamper the company's ability to maintain appropriate
inventory levels and meet customer demand; the possibility that unforeseen
events could impact the company's ability to provide prompt and efficient
service to its customers; existing competition from national and regional
competitors, which could result in pricing and other pressures on profitability
and market share. Consequently, the reader is cautioned to consider all forward-
looking statements in the light of the risks to which they are subject.
