1995 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF
TELEDYNE, INC.
-----------------------------
PROXY STATEMENT
OF
WHX CORPORATION
-----------------------------
This Proxy Statement (this "Proxy Statement"), the
accompanying letter to stockholders and the enclosed WHITE proxy card
are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by WHX
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("WHX"), for use at the 1995
Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Teledyne, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company" or "Teledyne"), to be held on Wednesday,
April 26, 1995 at 11:00 a.m. at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium,
1855 Main Street, Santa Monica, California 90401 and at any
adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting").
At the Annual Meeting, seven directors of Teledyne will each
be elected for a one-year term or until the election and qualification
of each of their successors. WHX is soliciting proxies pursuant to
this Proxy Statement to elect the seven nominees of WHX named herein
(the "WHX Nominees") to the Board of Directors of Teledyne (the
"Board").
ALL WHX NOMINEES ARE COMMITTED TO A SALE OF TELEDYNE TO WHX
OR ANOTHER PURCHASER FOR A PRICE OF AT LEAST $22 PER SHARE OF TELEDYNE
COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $1.00 PER SHARE (THE "SHARES").
The record date for determining stockholders of Teledyne
(collectively, "Stockholders") entitled to notice of and to vote at
the Annual Meeting is March 1, 1995 (the "Record Date"). Stockholders
of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled
to one vote for each Share held on the Record Date on all matters
submitted to a vote of Stockholders at the Annual Meeting, except that
each Stockholder is entitled to cumulate his or her votes in electing
directors. In voting for directors, a Stockholder may cast the number
of votes equal to the number of Shares held of record on the Record
Date by such Stockholder multiplied by the number of directors (7) to
be elected. All of these votes may be cast for any combination of one
or more directors. Stockholders voting by means of the accompanying
WHITE proxy card will be granting the proxy holders discretionary
authority to vote their Shares cumulatively at the discretion of the
persons named in the WHITE proxy card, but such Stockholders may not
mark the WHITE proxy card to cumulate their own votes. As set forth
in the preliminary proxy statement of Teledyne filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 1995 (the "Teledyne
Proxy Statement"), as of the close of business on the Record Date,
there were _________ Shares issued and outstanding.

IMPORTANT
At the Annual Meeting, WHX seeks to elect the WHX
Nominees as the directors of Teledyne.
WHX URGES YOU TO MARK, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE
ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE WHX
NOMINEES.
A VOTE FOR THE WHX NOMINEES WILL PROVIDE YOU-AS THE
OWNERS OF TELEDYNE-WITH REPRESENTATIVES ON THE TELEDYNE BOARD
WHO ARE COMMITTED TO A NEGOTIATED SALE OF TELEDYNE FOR A PRICE
OF AT LEAST $22 PER SHARE.
WHX URGES YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY PROXY CARD SENT TO YOU
BY TELEDYNE. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR
PROXY BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER
DATED PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING TO WHX, C/O GEORGESON &
COMPANY INC. ("GEORGESON") AT WALL STREET PLAZA, 88 PINE
STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10005, OR TO THE SECRETARY OF
TELEDYNE, OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. SEE
"VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURES" BELOW.
THE WHX NOMINEES SUPPORT THE SALE OF TELEDYNE
All WHX Nominees are committed to a sale or merger of the
Company for a price of at least $22 per Share. If elected, the WHX
Nominees will, subject in all respects to their fiduciary duties, seek
to cause the Company to (i) solicit and review all bona fide
acquisition offers and negotiate the sale of the Company and (ii)
remove any other barriers to facilitate a negotiated sale of the
Company. WHX currently plans that the solicitation would be conducted
by the Company together with a nationally recognized investment
banking firm which the WHX Nominees would cause the Company to retain,
or the Company's current investment banking firm, as described in
"Background and Reasons for the Solicitation." The investment banking
firm selected,
if different than the Company's current investment banking firm, would
not be a firm which is advising or is otherwise providing investment
banking services to WHX and will assist the Board in reviewing all
bona fide offers.
As indicated under "Background and Reasons for the
Solicitation" below, the incumbent Teledyne directors have
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
rejected WHX's acquisition proposal but have not committed to sell the
Company by a certain date to the highest bidder.
If, like us, you believe that you should have the
opportunity to decide the future of your company and that you should
have the chance to receive not less than $22 per Share for all of your
Shares, WHX urges you to vote your WHITE proxy card FOR the election
of the WHX Nominees. All of the WHX Nominees will, subject to their
fiduciary duties, seek to give all Stockholders the opportunity to
dispose of their Shares in a transaction with WHX or another purchaser
at a price of not less than $22 per Share. The WHX Nominees are
committed to the sale of Teledyne for a price of at least $22 per
Share.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
According to publicly available information, the Company
currently has eight directors. The terms of the eight incumbent
directors, Frank V. Cahouet, Diane C. Creel, George Kozmetsky, Donald
B. Rice, George A. Roberts, William P. Rutledge, Fayez Sarofim and
Henry E. Singleton, will expire at the Annual Meeting. As set forth
in the Teledyne Proxy Statement, Mr. Kozmetsky intends to resign from
the Board prior to the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.
The Teledyne Proxy Statement further states that seven directors are
to be elected at the Annual Meeting each to serve for a one-year term
or until election and qualification of their successors.
WHX proposes that the Stockholders elect the WHX Nominees as
the seven directors of Teledyne at the Annual Meeting. The seven WHX
Nominees are listed below and have furnished the following information
concerning their principal occupations or employment and certain other
matters. Each WHX Nominee, if elected, would hold office for a one-
year term or until a successor has been elected and qualified.
Although WHX has no reason to believe that any of the WHX Nominees
will be unable to serve as directors, if any one or more of the WHX
Nominees shall not be available for election, the persons named on the
WHITE proxy card have agreed to vote for the election of such
substitute nominees as may be proposed by WHX.

Cumulative voting for directors will be in effect at the
Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting means that each Stockholder will be
entitled to cast, distributed among any one or more nominees, total
votes equal to the number of Shares held of record on the Record Date
by such Stockholder multiplied by the number of directors (7) to be
elected. Stockholders voting by means of the accompanying WHITE proxy
card will be granting the proxy holders discretionary authority to
vote their Shares cumulatively as described below, but such
Stockholders may not mark the WHITE proxy card to cumulate their own
votes. Unless votes are withheld for any of the WHX Nominees, the
persons named as proxies on the WHITE proxy card intend to cumulate
such votes in a manner so as to maximize representation on the Board
of the WHX Nominees.
WHX is soliciting the discretionary authority to cumulate
votes and the persons named in the accompanying proxy will have the
authority to cumulate votes at their discretion. WHX has not
determined the order of priority in which it will

cast its cumulative votes disproportionately among its nominees, if it
elects to cumulate disproportionately. WHX reserves the right to
change the priority of its nominees once determined, depending upon
the manner in which WHX believes other votes will be cast and such
other factors as WHX may deem appropriate in its discretion consistent
with the goal of maximizing the number of WHX nominees elected to the
Board.
If four WHX Nominees are elected, the WHX Nominees will
constitute a majority of the Board. The persons named as proxies on
the WHITE proxy card do not intend to vote any Shares for the election
of the nominees proposed by Teledyne. Instead, such persons will
cumulate votes in respect of such Shares to elect the maximum number
of the WHX Nominees. In the event the number of persons constituting
the Board is increased prior to the election of directors at the
Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies on the WHITE proxy card
reserve the right to vote for any additional nominees for directors
nominated by WHX in order that the WHX Nominees constitute a majority
of the Board.
The accompanying WHITE proxy card will be voted at the
Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on such card. You
may vote FOR the election of the WHX Nominees as the directors of
Teledyne or withhold authority to vote for the election of the WHX
Nominees by marking the proper box on the WHITE proxy card. You may
also withhold your vote from any of the WHX Nominees by writing the
name of such nominee in the space provided on the WHITE proxy card.
IF NO MARKING IS MADE AND YOU HAVE SIGNED AND DATED THE PROXY CARD,
YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN A DIRECTION TO CUMULATE AND VOTE THE

NOMINEES, WHICH VOTES WILL BE CUMULATIVELY ALLOCATED AMONG THE WHX
NOMINEES AT THE DISCRETION OF THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE WHITE PROXY
CARD.
WHX believes that it is in YOUR best interest to elect the

CONSIDERATION VALUED AT NOT LESS THAN $22 PER SHARE FOR ALL OF THEIR
SHARES.

NOMINEES.

BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION
BACKGROUND.
On November 28, 1994, Mr. LaBow sent the following letter on
behalf of WHX to the Board:
"Gentlemen:
This letter is for the purpose of proposing a business
combination between WHX Corporation ("WHX") and Teledyne, Inc.
("Teledyne") and for expressing our desire that the two companies
work together to accomplish such combination on a negotiated
basis.
The Board of Directors of WHX has authorized me to present
to you our offer to acquire in a merger transaction all of the
outstanding shares of common stock of Teledyne at a price of $22
per Teledyne share. Our proposal represents a premium of
approximately 23% over the closing market price of your common
stock on November 25, 1994.
In the merger, Teledyne stockholders would receive a
combination of cash and WHX convertible preferred stock. The
aggregate amount of cash we are prepared to pay would be an
amount sufficient to render the treatment of WHX stock received
by Teledyne stockholders in the transaction as tax-free and would
be mutually determined by our respective tax advisors. In no
event, however, would the aggregate cash consideration be less
than 50% of the aggregate acquisition consideration. In addition
to the market price premium and tax-free attributes of our
proposal, those stockholders receiving WHX stock would
participate in the future results of a stronger and more
profitable combined company.
The WHX convertible preferred stock would have terms
substantially similar to the terms of the WHX Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock which is currently traded on the New
York Stock Exchange. As with the WHX Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, the WHX convertible preferred shares to be
received by Teledyne shareholders would pay a cash dividend and
would be convertible into WHX common stock at any time at $15.78
per share, subject to adjustment. On November 25, 1994, shares
of WHX common stock closed at $14.125 per share.
This proposal is, and consummation of the acquisition would
be, subject to negotiation, preparation and execution
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of appropriate definitive agreements containing mutually
acceptable representations, warranties, terms and conditions, and
requisite shareholder approval.
In pursuing this acquisition, we would expect
representatives from Teledyne's Board of Directors to join the
Board of Directors of the combined enterprise and Teledyne's
senior management to stay with Teledyne under mutually
satisfactory arrangements.
We are confident of our ability to complete this transaction
on these terms. In this respect, please note that we currently
have approximately $450 million in cash and cash equivalents.
We would welcome your interest in receiving additional
information regarding WHX and it is possible that we would be
prepared to increase our offer if additional information provided
by Teledyne demonstrates to us that additional consideration is
warranted.
We are certain that, upon reflection, the Teledyne Board of
Directors will recognize the extraordinary opportunity that a
combination with WHX represents for Teledyne stockholders. Our
objective is to work with you in a professional and constructive
manner to complete our proposal so that the best interest of all
of your stockholders can be served.
In this connection, we are willing to discuss with you or a
committee of your directors all aspects of our proposal. I and
other representatives of WHX are available to meet with you for
this purpose at any time.
Yours sincerely,
/s/ Ronald LaBow
Chairman of the Board"
In a telephone call on December 1, 1994, Mr. Rutledge told Mr. LaBow
that WHX's proposal would be considered at the next meeting of the
Board. On December 5, 1994, Mr. LaBow sent the following letter to
Mr. Rutledge:
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
"Dear Mr. Rutledge:
It was a pleasure speaking with you on Thursday, December 1,
and I was encouraged to hear that our proposal will be considered
by your Board of Directors at their next meeting.
When you indicated to me that your Board would be unable to
meet for approximately three to four weeks, I presumed that,
among other things, this delay was designed to afford your
investment bankers the opportunity to review and analyze our
proposal and to be in a position to make a presentation to your
Board. Upon reflection, it seemed to me that in order to
facilitate the work of your investment bankers it would be
prudent to use the next few weeks to permit your investment
bankers to meet with our investment bankers so that you can learn
more about our company and its resources. To that end, I would
like to formally propose a meeting to be attended by investment
bankers and company personnel, so that we can answer any
questions you might have concerning such issues as our ability to
consummate this transaction and the value of the securities we
are prepared to offer to your shareholders.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly and hope that a
meeting can be arranged so that your Board can be fully informed
when it considers our proposal at its next meeting.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Ronald LaBow"
On December 6, 1994, Mr. Rutledge sent the following letter to Mr.
LaBow:
"Dear Mr. LaBow:
This is in response to your letter of December 5, 1994. Teledyne
has scheduled a Board Meeting for Saturday, December 17. We do
not think it appropriate for our representatives to meet prior to
that Board Meeting.
Very truly yours,
/s/ William P. Rutledge"
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
On December 19, 1994, Mr. Rutledge sent the following letter to Mr.
LaBow:
"Dear Mr. LaBow:
Our Board of Directors has met to consider the proposal contained
in your letter dated November 28, 1994. The Board believes that
Teledyne's long-term strategic business plans suggest substantial
increases in future values for our shareholders.
The Board has conducted a careful evaluation of all factors and
circumstances which it considered relevant, including its view
that there is no significant value to Teledyne shareholders
associated with combining our companies. The resultant unanimous
conclusion by the directors was that they have no interest in
pursuing your proposal.
Very truly yours,
/s/ William P. Rutledge"
On December 21, 1994, WHX issued the following press release:
"WHX Corporation (NYSE:WHX) announced today that it is
filing a notification form under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act of 1976 to allow it to acquire up to 15% of the
outstanding shares of Teledyne, Inc. (NYSE:TDY).
WHX also stated that it had been advised that Teledyne's
Board of Directors has no interest in pursuing a WHX merger
proposal dated November 28, 1994 in which Teledyne's stockholders
would receive $22 per share in a combination of cash (at least
$11 per share) and the balance, on a tax-free basis, in a WHX
convertible preferred stock.
WHX Corporation is a holding company which indirectly owns
Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, the nation's eighth
largest integrated steel manufacturer. WHX had 1993 sales of
$1.05 billion, with income before extraordinary items of $30.7
million."
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
On January 5, 1995, the Board announced the adoption of a
plan (the "Rights Plan") commonly known as a "poison pill" (the
"Poison Pill"), pursuant to which preferred stock purchase rights (the
"Rights") have been issued as a distribution on outstanding Shares.
The Rights Plan entitles all Stockholders, except a non-approved
acquiror, to purchase a specified number of additional Shares at a 50
percent discount from the prevailing market price for Shares if,
without the prior approval of the Board, a person or group acquires 15
percent or more of the Shares or engages in certain enumerated
transactions with Teledyne after making a non-approved stock
acquisition. The Rights Plan has the practical effect of thwarting
any acquisition of Teledyne that does not have the approval of its
Board.
On March 22, 1995, WHX and Teledyne entered into a
confidentiality agreement (the "Confidentiality Agreement") pursuant
to which WHX agreed to keep confidential non-public information
concerning Teledyne that Teledyne may, in its discretion, disclose to
WHX. Among other provisions customary in confidentiality agreements,
WHX agreed in the Confidentiality Agreement, for a period ending
December 22, 1995, without the prior consent of Teledyne, to not
acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Shares other
than pursuant to a possible negotiated transaction with Teledyne, or a
possible offer made on the same terms to all stockholders to acquire
at least a majority of the outstanding Shares.
On March 17, 23, 24, 1995, representatives of Teledyne
disclosed certain non-public information to representatives of WHX.
On March 27, 1995, Messrs. Rutledge and Rice sent a letter
to Mr. LaBow stating that the Board had instructed its investment
bankers to formally solicit offers for the possible sale of the
Company and requesting that WHX terminate its pending proxy fight.
On March 28, 1995, the Company announced, among other
things, that it (i) commenced a process to solicit offers for the
possible sale of the Company, (ii) retained an investment banking firm
to assist in such process and (iii) received and is responding to
expressions of interest from third parties other than WHX. The
Company further announced that it had requested WHX to terminate its
announced proxy contest.
On March 28, 1995, Mr. LaBow sent to the Board, on behalf of
the WHX Board, the following letter altering the terms
NYFS05...:\41\80941\0003\2150\STA1165U.25N
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of its initial proposed acquisition made by letter, dated November 28,
1994:
"Gentlemen:
This letter is for the purpose of amending our letter of
November 28, 1994 to you in which we proposed a business
combination between WHX Corporation ( WHX ) and Teledyne, Inc.
( Teledyne ).
Based on information furnished to us under the
confidentiality letter between us dated March 22, 1995, the Board
of Directors of WHX has authorized me to present to you our offer
to acquire in a merger transaction all of the outstanding shares
of common stock of Teledyne at a price of $22 per Teledyne share
but payable in a combination of $18 per share in cash and $4 per
share in WHX common stock.
Our respective investment bankers have shared information
which we trust demonstrates to you that the transaction can be
completed and that the WHX stock to be received by Teledyne
stockholders would enable your stockholders to participate in the
future results of the Teledyne and WHX businesses and to realize
the value of all of the assets of Teledyne and WHX on the most
---
tax-efficient basis.
We note your offer to provide WHX the opportunity to
participate in the process on the same basis as any other bidder
and our representatives will be contacting you to gather the
information already requested as well as that which has been or
will be provided to other parties. We stand ready to negotiate
appropriate definitive agreements containing mutually acceptable
representations, terms and conditions.
We note that your Board has instructed Goldman, Sachs & Co.
to formally solicit offers for the possible sale of Teledyne,
--------
Inc. We believe that an informal solicitation has been ongoing
--------
for some weeks. We are unaware of any higher offer.
We are considering your request that WHX terminate the
pending proxy contest. We regret that you have chosen not to
postpone the Annual Meeting to a date after which the
solicitation of offers has been completed. Such a postponement
would have enabled stockholders to vote on a more informed basis.
What concerns us and probably concerns
NYFS05...:\41\80941\0003\2150\STA1165U.25N
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
other Teledyne stockholders is that your Board has not committed
to sell Teledyne by a certain date to the highest bidder. A
commitment by your Board to sell to the highest bidder would
eliminate the need for a proxy contest.
I and other representatives of WHX are available to meet
with you at any time and look forward to completing this
extraordinary opportunity to combine our companies.
Yours sincerely,
/s/ Ronald LaBow
Chairman of the Board"
WHX remains willing to negotiate with Teledyne with respect
to its proposal to acquire Teledyne. If any such negotiations are
held and result in a definitive merger or other agreement between
Teledyne and WHX, the consideration to be received by holders of
Shares could include or consist of common or preferred stock of WHX,
other securities, cash or any combination thereof. Such negotiations
could result in, among other things, termination of this proxy
solicitation. As indicated elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, the WHX
Nominees, if elected, will, subject in all respects to their fiduciary
duties, seek to cause the full Board to consummate a negotiated
acquisition of Teledyne for aggregate consideration of at least $22
per Share. WHX reserves the right to alter the terms of its revised
proposed acquisition made by letter, dated March 28, 1995 (the
"Revised Acquisition Proposal"), including to provide for a change in
the consideration offered in exchange for Shares but has made no
determination to revise the Acquisition Proposal.
REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION; PLANS FOR SALE OF TELEDYNE.
In light of Teledyne's rejection of the initial proposed
acquisition made by letter on November 28, 1994, its failure to accept
the Revised Acquisition Proposal and its failure to commit to the sale
of the Company for at least $22 per Share, WHX has determined to seek
your votes in support of the WHX Nominees for election to the Board at
the Annual Meeting. WHX believes that you, the true owners of
Teledyne, should have the right to decide whether the Teledyne Board
should be compelled to sell your company by a certain date in an
orderly process. Each WHX Nominee is committed, subject in all
respects to his fiduciary duties, to maximizing Stockholder value by
NYFS05...:\41\80941\0003\2150\STA1165U.25N
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
seeking to effect promptly a negotiated sale of Teledyne pursuant to
which Stockholders would receive aggregate consideration valued at not
less than $22 per Share.
If the WHX Nominees are elected and constitute a majority of
the members of the Board, it is anticipated that the WHX Nominees,
subject in all respects to their fiduciary duties, would cause
Teledyne to (i) solicit and review all bona fide acquisition offers
and negotiate the sale of Teledyne and (ii) redeem the Poison Pill and
remove any other barriers to facilitate a negotiated sale of Teledyne.
The WHX Nominees intend, if elected, to cause Teledyne to
retain as advisors a nationally recognized investment banking firm,
other than any firm which is advising or otherwise providing
investment banking services to WHX, or the Company's current
investment banking firm,
to solicit persons interested in acquiring
Teledyne and to assist in reviewing all bona fide offers for the
acquisition of Teledyne that may be received. It is presently
anticipated that any investment banking firm soliciting offers would
be instructed by Teledyne to conduct the solicitation of bona fide
offers to acquire the Company in accordance with Delaware law and
without giving any bidder or potential bidder, including WHX,
information not otherwise given to all bidders or potential bidders
during the period prior to any presentation of, or recommendation with
respect to, any such offers to the Board. It is presently anticipated
that, if the WHX Nominees are elected, they will, subject in all
respects to their fiduciary duties, in consultation with such
advisors, determine and cause the Board to implement appropriate
procedures to conduct the review of bona fide acquisition proposals
and establish a date by which all bona fide offers to be considered by
the Board must be received by the Board. It is expected that the WHX
Nominees will cause the Board (including the WHX Nominees) to consider
any bona fide offer to acquire Teledyne that has satisfactory
arrangements for financing, is at least equal in value to $22 per
share and does not involve unacceptable risks to, or delays in the
consummation of, a negotiated acquisition of Teledyne. In evaluating
any such offer, it is expected that the Board (including the WHX
Nominees) would consider all relevant criteria and respond, as
appropriate, in accordance with their fiduciary duties to the
Stockholders. It is also expected that the WHX Nominees will take
such steps to cause the Board to facilitate a negotiated acquisition
of Teledyne as promptly as may be appropriate under the circumstances,
including seeking to cause Teledyne to redeem the Rights and grant
requisite approval under Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. In the event the Board recommends acceptance of an
offer from a person other than WHX, the WHX Nominees, if elected, will
seek to cause Teledyne to reimburse WHX for all of its expenses
incurred in connection with
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
this proxy solicitation and the proposed business combinations between
WHX and Teledyne (including, without limitation, legal, investment
banking and printing costs).
WHX
presently intends to propose acquiring the entire equity interest in
Teledyne by entering into a merger agreement with Teledyne (the "WHX
Merger Agreement") pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of WHX
would be merged with Teledyne (the "Merger") and each outstanding
Share (other than Shares held by WHX or any of their respective
wholly-owned subsidiaries, treasury shares and shares held by
Stockholders who properly exercise any appraisal rights available to
them under the Delaware General Corporation Law) would be converted
into the right to receive aggregate consideration of at least $22 per
Share consisting of cash of at least $18 per Share and the balance in
shares of WHX common stock (valued on the date of the WHX Merger
Agreement) which is currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange
(the "NYSE").
There can be no assurance that if all of the WHX Nominees
are elected, they will be able to cause Teledyne to be sold for more
than $22 per Share or to effectuate the Merger. Furthermore
there is no assurance that they will be able to
influence the Board to effectuate a sale of Teledyne or take other
actions to increase stockholder value.
In the event WHX acquires the entire equity interest in
Teledyne, WHX has no present intention to make any significant changes
in the business strategies of Teledyne, and WHX has not identified any
specific assets, corporate structure or other business strategy which
warrants change. However, WHX has made a preliminary review of, and
will continue to review, on the basis of available information,
various possible business strategies that it might consider if it
acquires control of Teledyne. If WHX acquires control of Teledyne,
WHX intends to conduct a detailed review of Teledyne and its assets,
pension plans, corporate structure, dividend policy, capitalization,
operations, properties, policies, management and personnel and
consider what, if any, changes or sale of assets would be desirable in
light of the circumstances which then exist. Specifically, WHX
currently intends to study (i) the feasibility of employing the
Teledyne pension fund assets to maximize the value of such assets for
the benefit of the stockholders of WHX which, under the proposal made,
would include stockholders of Teledyne, and (ii) the feasibility of
disposing of certain of Teledyne's businesses.

THE RECORD DATE, OR GRANT A PROXY TO VOTE SUCH SHARES ON THE WHITE

solicitation of proxies from Stockholders and related matters. DLJ
has received an initial advisory fee of $1,000,000 from WHX. WHX has

that WHX first sends Stockholders proxy cards in connection with its
