Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On September 24, 1999, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated
August 6, 1999 (the "Agreement") between Tektronix, Inc., an Oregon corporation
("Tektronix"), and Grass Valley Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("GVG"),
Tektronix sold substantially all of the assets related to its video content
production business ("VCP") to GVG. The VCP business involves video content
production products for the broadcast, production and post-television markets.
VCP products include switchers, video servers and routers as well as modular
products to enable interoperation of non-compatible equipment within the video
content production facility.

         The purchase price for the assets sold consisted of: (a) a cash payment
to Tektronix of $23,650,000, (b) the issuance by GVG of 2,000,000 shares of its
Class A Common Stock to Tektronix (representing 10% of the equity of GVG on a
fully diluted basis), and (c) a promissory note from GVG to Tektronix in the
amount of $24,500,000. In addition, GVG agreed to assume certain liabilities of
Tektronix related to VCP. The purchase price is subject to adjustment in the
event of specified decreases in the net asset value of VCP as reflected on the
closing balance sheet to be delivered after the closing. The purchase price
received by Tektronix in the transaction was negotiated by Tektronix and the
principals of GVG.

          Note to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The company's unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
give effect to the disposal of substantially all of the assets related to
Tektronix' video content production business ("VCP") as if such transaction had
occurred, for statements of consolidated operations for the year ended May 29,
1999, and for the consolidated balance sheet as of May 29, 1999. Significant
assets and liabilities not included in the sale were accounts receivable, land
and buildings, and accounts payable.

In the company's fiscal year 1999 annual report, VCP was included in the Video
and Networking division, a reported segment in the business segments footnote.
Other businesses included within this segment were Networks Displays,
Lightworks, and VideoTele.com. Network Displays was sold in December 1998,
Lightworks was discontinued during the second quarter of 1999, and the
VideoTele.com business merged into another reported segment, the Measurement
division, as of the beginning of fiscal year 2000.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the company's 1999 audited consolidated financial
statements. The pro forma information shown is not necessarily indicative of
the results that would have been reported had such events actually occurred on
the dates specified, nor is it indicative of the company's future results.

The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations
consists of the historical statements of operations of the company for the year
ended May 29, 1999, and for the three months ended August 28, 1999, less the
historical statements of operations of VCP.
