LARRY BOSSIDY
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
 
August   , 1998
 
Dear AMP Shareowners:
 
     As you know, at the end of July I proposed to AMP management a combination
with AlliedSignal that, in the view of AlliedSignal's Board of Directors, would
be in the best interests of the shareowners of both companies. When AMP
management did not respond to our proposal, AlliedSignal announced on
August 4th its intention to commence a tender offer for all the outstanding
shares of AMP, to give you the opportunity to sell your stock to AlliedSignal
for $44.50 per share in cash. At the time, AMP stock was selling
at approximately $29 per share, and the offer represented a premium
of approximately 55%. The offer was formally commenced on August 10.
 
     AMP currently has in place a number of anti-takeover measures, including a
'poison pill,' that prevent AlliedSignal from going forward with the purchase of
AMP shares.
 
     Our effort is dedicated to removing the obstacles that prevent you, the
shareowners, from accepting our $44.50 tender offer. In our judgment, adoption
of our by-law proposals and election of our nominees to the AMP board will
create the greatest likelihood that you, the shareowners, will be the ultimate
decision makers.
 
     This is an opportunity for you to express your view on what you want to
happen. I urge you to read the enclosed materials, which describe in greater
detail our precise proposals. Then, please fill out and sign the enclosed blue
card as soon as possible and mail it in the envelope provided. This is your
chance to stop the existing AMP directors and management from standing in the
way of your realizing $44.50 in cash, now, from your AMP shares.
 
                                         Sincerely,
 
                                         LARRY BOSSIDY
                                         Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

                                   IMPORTANT
 
     1. If your shares of Company Common Stock are held in your own name, please
mark, sign and date the enclosed BLUE consent card and mail it to Morrow & Co.,
Inc. in the postage-paid envelope provided.
 
     2. If your shares of Company Common Stock are held in the name of a
brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution, only such entity can execute
a consent with respect to your shares and only upon receipt of your specific
instructions. Accordingly, you should contact the person responsible for your
account and give instructions for a BLUE consent card to be signed representing
your shares. Parent and Purchaser urge you to confirm in writing your
instructions to the person responsible for your account and provide a copy of
those instructions to Parent and Purchaser in care of Morrow & Co., Inc. so that
Parent and Purchaser will be aware of all instructions given and can attempt to

                               ALLIEDSIGNAL INC.
                          PMA ACQUISITION CORPORATION
 
     This Consent Statement is furnished by AlliedSignal Inc., a Delaware
corporation ('Parent'), and PMA Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation
('Purchaser'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, in connection with the
solicitation by Parent and Purchaser of written consents from holders of shares
of Common Stock without par value ('Company Common Stock') of AMP Incorporated,
a Pennsylvania corporation (the 'Company'), to take the following actions
without a shareholders' meeting, as permitted by the Company's articles of
incorporation and Pennsylvania law:
 
          (1) Amend Section 2.2 of Article II of the Company's by-laws (the
     'Company By-laws') to fix the number of directors of the Company at
     twenty-eight;
 
          (2) Amend Section 2.4 of Article II of the Company By-laws to provide
     that vacancies on the Company's Board of Directors (the 'Company Board')
     created as a result of a shareholder amendment to the Company By-laws may
     be filled only by a vote of the Company's shareholders;
 
          (3) Amend Section 1.7.2 of Article I of the Company By-laws to clarify
     that a shareholder seeking to nominate candidates for election to the
     Company Board pursuant to shareholder action by written consent need not
     comply with the advance notification provisions of the Company By-laws
     applicable to the nomination of candidates in connection with meetings of
     the shareholders (the 'Advance Notification Provisions');
 
          (4) Elect seventeen nominees of Parent and Purchaser (the 'Nominees')
     to serve as directors of the Company (or, if any such Nominee is unable to
     serve as a director of the Company due to death, disability or otherwise,
     any other person designated as a Nominee by the remaining Nominee or
     Nominees); and
 
          (5) Repeal each provision of the Company By-laws or amendments thereto
     adopted subsequent to July 22, 1998 and prior to the effectiveness of the
     Proposals (as defined below) and the seating of a sufficient number of
     Nominees so that Nominees constitute a majority of the Company Board.
 
     All of the foregoing actions (collectively, the 'Proposals') are designed
to facilitate the election of the Nominees to the Company Board.
 
                PARENT AND PURCHASER RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT

                                    SUMMARY
 
     The information contained in this summary is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Consent
Statement.
 
THE OFFER AND PROPOSED MERGER
 
     On August 10, 1998, Purchaser commenced an offer to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, together with the associated common
stock purchase rights (the 'Rights') issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement of
the Company, dated October 25, 1989, between the Company and the Rights Agent
thereof, as amended (the 'Rights Agreement') (the Company Common Stock, together
with the associated Rights, being referred to as the 'Shares'), at $44.50 net
per Share (the 'Offer Price') upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated August 10, 1998 (the 'Offer to
Purchase'), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any
amendments or supplements, collectively constitute the 'Offer').
 
     The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the acquisition of
Shares pursuant to the Offer having been approved by the Company Board for
purposes of Chapter 29, Subchapter F of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation
Law (the 'PBCL') (the 'Business Combination Statute') or Purchaser being
satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the Business Combination Statute is
invalid or otherwise inapplicable to the Offer and the Proposed Merger described
below, and (ii) the Rights having been redeemed by the Company Board or the
Purchaser being satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the Rights have been
invalidated or are otherwise inapplicable to the Offer and the Proposed Merger.
 
     Subject to the fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors of the
Company, the Nominees intend, if elected as directors of the Company, to cause
the Company to enter into an agreement (a 'Proposed Merger Agreement') with
Parent providing for a merger or similar business combination (a 'Proposed
Merger') in which holders of shares of Company Common Stock would receive cash
consideration per share of Company Common Stock equal to the Offer Price. The
Nominees also intend to take whatever other actions are appropriate, subject to
fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors of the Company, to facilitate
the Offer and Proposed Merger, including approving the Offer and Proposed Merger
for purposes of the Business Combination Statute.
 
     According to a letter dated November 8, 1989, from the Company to its
shareholders relating to adoption of the Rights Agreement (filed as an exhibit
to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 1989), the Rights Agreement provides (the 'Dead Hand Provision') that
'[u]nder certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Agreement, the decision
to redeem [the Rights] shall require the concurrence of a majority of the
Continuing Directors.' According to the letter, ' `Continuing Directors' means
any member of the Board of Directors of the Company who was a member of the
Board prior to [October 25, 1989], and any person who is subsequently elected to
the Board if such person is recommended or approved by a majority of the
Continuing Directors . . . .' Parent and Purchaser believe the Dead Hand
Provision is unenforceable. If the Dead Hand Provision is enforceable, the
Nominees, subject to fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors of the
Company, intend to seek the required approval of a majority of Continuing
Directors to redeem the Rights (or to amend the Rights Agreement to make the
Rights inapplicable to the Offer and the Proposed Merger), but there can be no
assurance that they will succeed in obtaining such approval.
 
     Complete information about the Offer is contained in the Offer to Purchase,
which is available upon request from the Information Agent for the Offer, Morrow
& Co., Inc. ('Morrow'), and in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 (the
'Schedule 14D-1'), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the 'Commission') on August 10, 1998. The Schedule 14D-1 and any amendments,
including exhibits, should be available for inspection and copies should be
obtainable in the manner set forth under 'CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING PARENT
AND PURCHASER.'
 
                                       3

CONSENT PROCEDURES
 
     Section 1763 of the PBCL provides that, unless otherwise set forth in a
corporation's by-laws, the board of directors of a corporation may, for any
purpose, fix a record date for the determination of shareholders of record.
Section 1.7.2 of Article II of the Company By-laws (the 'Record Date By-law')
provides that any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders
authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice
to the Secretary of the Company, request that the Company Board fix a record
date. The Company Board is required to promptly, but in all events within 10
days of the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing
the record date. Under the PBCL and the Record Date By-law, if no record date
has been fixed by the Company Board within 10 business days of the receipt of
the request, the record date will be the first date on which a signed, written
consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to
the Company. On August 11, 1998, Parent and Purchaser requested that the Company
Board fix August 31, 1998 as the record date for the consent solicitation made
hereby. [On            , 1998, the Company Board fixed            , 1998, as the
record date for the solicitation (the 'Record Date').] [The Company Board did
not fix a record date for the consent solicitation made hereby prior to
           , 1998. On            , 1998, Parent delivered a signed consent to
the Company. Accordingly, the record date for the consent solicitation made
hereby (the 'Record Date') will be            , 1998.]
 
     Parent will pay all costs in connection with its solicitation of consents.
The consents are being solicited pursuant to the procedure established by
Sections 1766 and 2524 of the PBCL and Sections 1.7.2 and 1.7.3 of the Company
By-laws. Shareholders of the Company of record as of the close of business on
the Record Date are entitled to consent to the Proposals. As more fully
described in 'CONSENT PROCEDURE' below, the Proposals will become effective when
properly completed, unrevoked consents consenting to the Proposals are signed by
the holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date of a
majority of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, if these
consents are delivered to the Company within 90 days of the Record Date. The
effectiveness of each Proposal is subject to, and conditioned upon, the adoption
of all other Proposals by the holders of record, as of the close of business on
the Record Date, of a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock then
outstanding. See 'CONSENT PROCEDURE.'
 
     This Consent Statement and the related BLUE consent card are first being
sent or given on or about        , 1998, to all holders of record of shares of
Company Common Stock on the Record Date. The Company Common Stock constitutes
the only outstanding class of voting securities of the Company. Accordingly,
only holders of shares of Company Common Stock are entitled to execute and
deliver consents. For information regarding the person believed to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company Common Stock, see 'VOTING
SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS.' Parent is the beneficial owner of 100
shares of Company Common Stock.
 
     ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSALS, INCLUDING THE INCREASE OF THE SIZE OF THE
COMPANY BOARD AND ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES, IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD PROMPT
CONSUMMATION OF THE OFFER AND THE PROPOSED MERGER. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE URGED TO
PROMPTLY MARK, SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED BLUE CONSENT CARD.
 
     THIS CONSENT STATEMENT IS ONLY A REQUEST FOR CONSENTS TO THE PROPOSALS. IT
IS NOT A REQUEST FOR THE TENDER OF SHARES NOR AN OFFER WITH RESPECT THERETO.
THE OFFER IS BEING MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
 
     Because the Proposals will become effective only if properly completed,
unrevoked consents consenting to such Proposals are signed and returned by
holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date of a majority
of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, any
failure to execute and return a consent, and all abstentions and broker
non-votes, will have the same effect as voting against the Proposals.
 
     Parent has retained Morrow to assist in the solicitation of consents to the
Proposals.
 
     If your shares of Company Common Stock are registered in your own name,
please mark, sign and date the enclosed BLUE consent card and mail it to Morrow
in the postage-paid envelope provided. If
 
                                       4

your shares of Company Common Stock are held in the name of a brokerage firm,
bank nominee or other institution, only such entity can sign a consent with
respect to your shares and only upon receipt of your specific instructions.
Accordingly, you should contact the person responsible for your account and give
instructions for a BLUE consent card to be signed representing your shares.
Parent and Purchaser urge you to confirm in writing your instructions to the
person responsible for your account and to provide a copy of those instructions
to Parent and Purchaser in care of Morrow & Co., Inc. so that Parent and
Purchaser will be aware of all instructions given and can attempt to ensure that
such instructions are followed.
 
     If you have any questions or require any assistance in executing or
delivering your consent, please call:

                          REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION
 
     Because the Company has not been receptive to the Offer and the Proposed
Merger and has to date declined Parent's invitation to meet with representatives
of Parent to discuss a transaction, Parent and Purchaser are soliciting the
written consent of shareholders to the Proposals in an effort to facilitate the
consummation of the Offer and Proposed Merger.
 
     The purpose of the Offer is to enable Parent to acquire control of, and the
entire equity interest in, the Company. Parent currently intends, as soon as
practicable following the consummation of the Offer, to propose and seek to have
the Company consummate a Proposed Merger. The purpose of the Proposed Merger
under these circumstances would be to acquire all of the Shares not tendered and
purchased pursuant to the Offer or otherwise. Pursuant to the Proposed Merger,
each outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser, or any of
their subsidiaries, Shares held in the treasury of the Company and Shares owned
by shareholders who perfect available appraisal rights under the PBCL) would be
converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the price per
Share paid pursuant to the Offer.
 
     Although Purchaser commenced the Offer to acquire all of the outstanding
Shares for cash, Parent is seeking to negotiate with the Company, in conjunction
with or in substitution for the Offer, a Proposed Merger. Purchaser has reserved
the right to amend the Offer if it is successful in negotiating the Proposed
Merger (including the number of Shares to be purchased and the proposed Offer
Price) and, if the negotiated Proposed Merger does not contemplate a tender
offer, to terminate the Offer without purchasing any Shares thereunder.
 
     Parent and Purchaser believe that the Offer and Proposed Merger are in the
best interests of the shareholders of the Company and the Offer Price is a fair
price for the Shares because the Offer Price reflects a premium of approximately
55% over the $28 7/8 closing price for the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange
(the 'NYSE') on August 3, 1998, the last full trading day preceding the public
announcement of the Offer.
 
     Subject to fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors, the Nominees
intend, if elected to the Company Board, to cause the Company to enter into a
Proposed Merger Agreement with Parent that would provide for a transaction in
which shareholders of the Company would receive for each share of Company Common
Stock cash consideration per share equal to the Offer Price. The Nominees also
intend, subject to fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors of the
Company, to take whatever other actions are appropriate to facilitate the Offer
and Proposed Merger.
 
                                 THE PROPOSALS
 
     Parent and Purchaser are seeking written consents from holders of shares of
Company Common Stock to take the following actions without a shareholders'
meeting, as permitted by the Company's articles of incorporation and the PBCL:
 
          1. Amend Section 2.2 of Article II of the Company By-laws to fix the
     number of directors of the Company at twenty-eight and to provide that
     Section 2.2 may be amended or repealed only with the approval of
     shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the Company's outstanding
     voting shares;
 
          2. Amend Section 2.4 of Article II of the Company By-laws to provide
     that vacancies on the Company Board created as a result of a shareholder
     amendment to the Company By-laws may be filled only with the approval of
     shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the Company's outstanding
     voting shares and that this amendment to Section 2.4 may be further amended
     or repealed only with the approval of shareholders of the Company holding a
     majority of the Company's outstanding voting shares;
 
          3. Amend Section 1.7.2 of Article I of the Company By-laws to clarify
     that a shareholder seeking to nominate persons for election to the Company
     Board by shareholder action by written consent need not comply with the
     Advance Notification Provisions and to provide that this amendment to
     Section 1.7.2 may be further amended or repealed only with the approval of
     shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the Company's outstanding
     voting shares;
 
                                       6

          4. Elect Hans W. Becherer, Lawrence A. Bossidy, Ann M. Fudge, Paul X.
     Kelley, Peter M. Kreindler, Robert P. Luciano, Robert B. Palmer, Russell E.
     Palmer, Frederic M. Poses, Donald J. Redlinger, Ivan G. Seidenberg, Andrew
     C. Sigler, John R. Stafford, Thomas P. Stafford, Richard F. Wallman, Robert
     C. Winters and Henry T. Yang, the Nominees, to serve as directors of the
     Company (or, if any Nominee is unable to serve as a director of the Company
     due to death, disability or otherwise, any other person designated as a
     Nominee by the remaining Nominee or Nominees); and
 
          5. Repeal each provision of and amendment to the Company By-laws
     adopted subsequent to July 22, 1998 and prior to the effectiveness of the
     Proposals and the seating of a sufficient number of Nominees so that the
     Nominees constitute a majority of the Company Board.

upon, the adoption of each of the other Proposals by the holders of record, as
of the close of business on the Record Date, of a majority of the shares of

               PARENT AND PURCHASER RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO
                             EACH OF THE PROPOSALS
 
     By-law Amendment Fixing Number of Directors at Twenty-Eight.  Shareholders
are being asked to adopt a Proposal to amend Section 2.2 of Article II of the
Company By-laws to fix the number of directors of the Company at twenty-eight.
The text of this proposed amendment to the Company By-laws is set forth in its
entirety in Annex IV to this Consent Statement. The Company By-laws currently
provide that the Company Board is to consist of at least three directors, with
the actual number of directors to be determined from time to time by the Company
Board. The proposed By-law amendment would increase the size of the Company
Board from eleven to twenty-eight so that, if the Proposal to elect the
seventeen Nominees is approved, the Nominees will constitute a majority of the
members of the Company Board. To ensure that this proposed amendment, if
adopted, cannot be unilaterally repealed by the Company Board, the proposed
amendment provides that it may be amended or repealed only by a vote of
shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the outstanding voting shares
of the Company.
 
     By-law Amendment Permitting Shareholders to Fill Vacancies on the Company
Board.  Shareholders are being asked to adopt a Proposal to amend Section 2.4 of
Article II of the Company By-laws to provide that vacancies on the Company Board
created as a result of a shareholder amendment to the Company By-laws may be
filled only with the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting
shares of the Company. The text of this proposed amendment to the Company
By-laws is set forth in its entirety in Annex IV. The Company By-laws currently
provide that vacancies on the Company Board, however caused, including vacancies
resulting from an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the
Company Board. No provision is currently made for the filling of vacancies by
shareholders. The proposed By-law amendment would grant to shareholders the
exclusive right to elect the Nominees to fill the vacancies on the Company Board
resulting from the increase in the size of the Company Board from eleven to
twenty-eight members. To ensure that this proposed amendment, if adopted, cannot
be repealed unilaterally by the Company Board, the proposed amendment provides
that it may be amended or repealed only by a vote of shareholders of the Company
holding a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.
 
     Election of Nominees.  Shareholders are being asked to adopt a Proposal to
elect as directors of the Company each of the seventeen Nominees named in the
table below, each of whom has consented to serve as a director, if elected,
until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her successor has
been elected and qualified. The Purchaser's primary purpose in seeking to elect
the Nominees to the Company Board is to facilitate the consummation of the Offer
and Proposed Merger. However, if elected, the Nominees, along with the other
directors of the Company, would be responsible for managing the business and
affairs of the Company. Each director of the Company has an obligation under
Pennsylvania law to discharge his or her duties as a director in good faith, in
a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the
Company and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence,
as a person of ordinary prudence would use under similar circumstances.
Circumstances may arise in which the interests of Parent, Purchaser and their
affiliates, on the one
 
                                       7

hand, and the interests of other shareholders of the Company, on the other hand,
may differ. In any such case, the Nominees intend to discharge fully the
obligations owing to the Company and its shareholders and other stakeholders
under Pennsylvania law. Although Parent and Purchaser have no reason to believe
that any of the Nominees may be unable or unwilling to serve as directors, if
any of the Nominees is unable to serve as a director of the Company due to
death, disability or otherwise, the remaining Nominee or Nominees may designate
another person or persons to replace the Nominee or Nominees unable to serve.
 
     Set forth below are the name, age, business address, present principal
occupation and employment history of each of the Nominees for at least the past
five years. This information has been furnished to Parent by the respective
Nominees. Each of the Nominees has consented to serve as a director. Each of the
Nominees is at least 18 years of age. None of the entities referenced below is a
parent or subsidiary of the Company.

shareholders. Such procedures require, in general, that nominations of
candidates for consideration by shareholders be submitted to the Secretary of
the Company, (i) with respect to an annual meeting, at
 
                                       10

least 45 days in advance of the date in the then-current year that corresponds
to the date on which the Company first mailed its notice of annual meeting,
proxy statement and proxy card for the prior year's annual meeting and (ii) with
respect to a special meeting, by the close of business on the 10th day following
the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed to shareholders or
public disclosure was made. The proposed amendment to Section 1.7.2 of Article I
of the Company By-laws would clarify that the requirements of Section 1.5.3 of
Article I of the Company By-laws are inapplicable to the election of directors
pursuant to action by written consent of shareholders. To ensure that this
proposed amendment, if adopted, cannot be repealed unilaterally by the Company
Board, the proposed amendment provides that it may be amended or repealed only
by a vote of shareholders of the Company holding a majority of the outstanding
shares of the Company. The text of the proposed amendment to Section 1.7.2 of
the Company Bylaws is set forth in Annex IV.
 
     Repeal of By-laws Adopted Subsequent to July 22, 1998 and Prior to the
Effectiveness of the Proposals and the Seating of the Nominees.  This Proposal,
if adopted, would repeal each and every provision of any amendment to the
Company By-laws adopted subsequent to July 22, 1998 and prior to the
effectiveness of the Proposals and the seating of a sufficient number of
Nominees so that Nominees constitute a majority of the Company Board. This
Proposal is designed to prevent the Company Board from taking actions to amend
the Company By-laws to attempt to nullify or delay the actions taken by the
shareholders pursuant to the Proposals or to create new obstacles to the
consummation of the Offer and Proposed Merger. According to publicly available
information, the most recent version of the Company By-laws were adopted on July
22, 1998, and no amendments subsequent to that date have been publicly
disclosed. If the Company Board has adopted since July 22, 1998, or adopts prior
to the adoption of the Proposals and the seating of a sufficient number of
Nominees so that Nominees constitute a majority of the Company Board, any
amendments to the Company By-laws, this Proposal would repeal those amendments.
 
                                PROPOSED MERGER
 
     Subject to the fulfillment of their fiduciary duties as directors of the
Company, the Nominees intend, if elected as directors of the Company, to cause
the Company to enter into a Proposed Merger Agreement. The Proposed Merger
Agreement would provide for a transaction in which shareholders of the Company
would receive cash consideration per Share equal to the Offer Price.
 
     THIS CONSENT STATEMENT IS ONLY A REQUEST FOR CONSENTS TO THE PROPOSALS. IT
IS NOT A REQUEST FOR THE TENDER OF SHARES NOR AN OFFER WITH RESPECT THERETO.
THE OFFER IS BEING MADE ONLY BY MEANS OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
 
                VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS
 
     According to the Company's articles of incorporation, the shares of Company
Common Stock constitute the only class of outstanding voting securities of the
Company. Accordingly, only holders of Company Common Stock are entitled to
execute consents. The Company stated in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended June 30, 1998, that, as of July 27, 1998, there were
218,601,033 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Company
Common Stock entitles its record holder to one vote. Shareholders of the Company
do not have cumulative voting rights.
 
     As reported by the Company in its Proxy Statement, dated March 16, 1998
(the 'Company Proxy Statement'), as of March 3, 1998, the only persons known to
management to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Company
Common Stock are named below.

                         BACKGROUND OF THE SOLICITATION
 
     Approximately one year ago, Lawrence A. Bossidy, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Parent, contacted Ralph D. DeNunzio, a director of the
Company, to discuss the possible combination
 
                                       12

of Parent and the Company. Mr. Bossidy was subsequently informed that the
Company Board had no interest in entertaining discussions concerning the
possible combination of Parent and the Company.
 
     On July 29, 1998 Mr. Bossidy telephoned William J. Hudson, Chief Executive
Officer and President of the Company, to discuss with him the possible
combination of Parent and the Company. Mr. Bossidy was informed by an assistant
to Mr. Hudson that Mr. Hudson was unavailable.
 
     On July 30, 1998, Mr. Bossidy delivered the following letter to Mr. Hudson:
 
        'July 30, 1998
        Mr. William J. Hudson
        Chief Executive Officer and President
        AMP Incorporated
        470 Friendship Road
        Harrisburg, PA 17111
 
        Dear Bill:
 
             I tried to reach you by telephone yesterday for purposes of setting
        up a meeting to discuss a combination of our two companies. In my view,
        a combination makes compelling business sense and would produce a unique
        opportunity for your shareowners to realize maximum value for their
        shares and would be in the long-term interest of your employees. I would
        like to meet with you as soon as possible, but I thought it would be
        useful to make a proposal for you to consider in advance of our meeting.
 
             AlliedSignal is prepared to offer $43.50 per share in cash for all
        of AMP's outstanding shares, a premium of about 50% over the current
        market value. We would consider a higher price if all or a significant
        portion of the consideration were AlliedSignal shares rather than cash.
        Cash, of course, would provide your shareowners the opportunity to
        realize today the future value of AMP, while equity on a tax free basis
        would give your shareowners the option to participate in the future
        growth of a new AlliedSignal/AMP enterprise. Our Board of Directors has
        approved the transaction, and adequate financing is available.
 
             AlliedSignal has annual revenues of $15 billion, with operations in
        the aerospace, automotive and engineered materials industries and with
        the demonstrated ability to achieve sales and earnings growth on a
        consistent basis. Our vision is to 'become a premier company,
        distinctive and successful in everything we do.' Since we began our
        Total Quality journey more than six years ago, our earnings per share
        have grown at a compound average annual rate of 21% and our market value
        has grown more than six-fold, from less than $4 billion to more than $25
        billion.
 
             Recently, we have focused our resources on developing a diversified
        portfolio of high-growth, high-margin businesses as a means of being
        both competitive and successful in the new century. A particular area of
        interest is electronic materials, where we already have several
        offerings. Our strategic interest in this area would assure that AMP has
        the continued management and financial support necessary to maintain its
        leadership position in its own businesses.
 
             AlliedSignal offers the following:
 
                  Size and scale. We are a global company operating in some 40
           countries, with the size and scale to realize economies in areas such
           as purchasing, marketing and shared business services.
 
                  Technology. Both our electronic materials businesses and our
           aerospace businesses can be both technology partners and customers. I
           am confident that there would be synergistic benefits to both our
           companies.
 
                  Management Team. Over the last six years we have developed an
           outstanding management team that has demonstrated the ability to lead
           in the 1990's and to cope with the issues that all of us will face as
           we move into the next century. Our management team
 
                                       13

           is respected around the world -- by suppliers, by customers and by
           the investment community.
 
                  Operational Strength; Processes. We have a proven track record
           of operational success, increasing productivity by 5% or more for the
           past five years. Most recently, we have launched new initiatives
           across the company (which we refer to as 'six sigma') to ensure that
           we achieve world-class design and production capabilities.
 
                  Financial Strength; Credibility. We also have an excellent
           track record and a strong balance sheet.
 
             In addition, our size and diversity offer other benefits to AMP in
        a combination:
 
                  Consistent Performance. Our different businesses and
           geographical markets provide a buffer for a cyclical downturn in any
           one area. AMP cannot achieve that kind of consistent performance on
           its own.
 
                  Business Processes. AMP can take advantage of the business
           processes and best practices we have developed across a wide array of
           businesses in different industries.
 
                  Employees. Our businesses also would offer many more career
           opportunities for your employees. In addition, we have a
           state-of-the-art education program. For example, we have been able to
           drive our 'six sigma' initiatives throughout the company largely by
           using internal resources.
 
             If we are to be successful, both confidentiality and speed are of
        the essence. Hence, this proposal is conditioned on your keeping the
        existence of this letter and the proposal confidential, and I ask that
        you respond to me promptly. I am available to meet with you at your
        convenience next week and to begin discussions immediately. We are
        willing to discuss any and all concerns you may have.
 
             Bill, as you may know, I have thought about this possible
        combination for a long time, and I am convinced that together we will
        become a powerful force in the ever more competitive marketplace of
        tomorrow. If permitted, I will do all within my power to convince you of
        the merits of this combination.
 
             You can reach me at [telephone number omitted].
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          /s/ Larry'
 
     On the morning of August 4, 1998, Mr. Bossidy attempted to contact Mr.
Hudson and was informed that Mr. Hudson was unavailable. Mr. Hudson's assistant
called later that day to inform Mr. Bossidy that Mr. Hudson would contact him no
later than August 5, 1998. Also on the morning of August 4, 1998, Peter M.
Kreindler, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Parent,
attempted unsuccessfully to contact Charles W. Goonrey, Vice President and
General Legal Counsel of the Company. Subsequent to these telephone calls, Mr.
Bossidy sent the following letter to the Company Board:
 
        'August 4, 1998
 
        Board of Directors
        AMP Incorporated
        470 Friendship Road
        Harrisburg, PA 17111
 
             I am writing to you after my unsuccessful attempts to make contact
        with Bill Hudson to discuss a proposal for the strategic combination of
        our two companies in a manner that truly serves the vital best interests
        of the employees, customers, shareowners and communities of which we are
        a part. Specifically, in our letter of July 30 I proposed that
        AlliedSignal acquire all the outstanding shares of AMP for $43.50 per
        share in cash, or for a higher price if all or a significant portion of
        the consideration were AlliedSignal shares rather than cash.
 
                                       14

             It is our desire to enter into direct discussions about this
        transaction with you. However, because Mr. Hudson has not responded to
        my calls and letter, we have decided to commence a tender offer for all
        outstanding shares of AMP for an enhanced price of $44.50 per share in
        cash. A combination is clearly in the best interests of both companies
        and all of their constituencies, and we are committed to completing it.
        The AlliedSignal Board of Directors has unanimously authorized this
        offer, and adequate financing is available. Accordingly, if AMP is
        unwilling to enter negotiations, AlliedSignal is prepared to initiate a
        consent solicitation to increase the size of the AMP Board of Directors
        and to add a majority of directors who will be responsive to our
        proposal.
 
             As I said in my letter to Mr. Hudson last week, and as I will tell
        you in person if you permit me to present our proposal in person, a
        combination of our companies makes compelling business sense and is
        consistent with both the letter and spirit of the laws governing
        businesses in Pennsylvania. I hope that we can work together in a
        professional and constructive manner so that your constituencies can
        enjoy the benefits of our combination as soon as possible. In
        particular:
 
                  For AMP shareowners, an acquisition of AMP shares for $44.50
           in cash provides the opportunity to realize an immediate premium of
           about 55% over the market price of AMP's shares. If we exchange
           AlliedSignal shares for AMP shares on a tax-free basis, your
           shareowners would be able to participate in the future growth of a
           new AlliedSignal/AMP enterprise. We are confident that our business
           approach, which over the past six years has enabled us to grow
           earnings per share at a compound average annual rate of 21% and
           increase our market value six-fold, would create significant value if
           applied to AMP's business. AlliedSignal can also bring to bear on
           AMP's business the important advantages we have in size and scale,
           technology, management depth, operational excellence and financial
           strength. Finally, AMP shareowners would benefit from owning a stock
           with a demonstrated record of consistent performance.
 
                  For AMP employees, the size of AlliedSignal and scope of our
           businesses would offer many more career opportunities than they have
           currently. AlliedSignal has been named by Fortune as one of the best
           100 companies in America for which to work.
 
                  For AMP customers, our business approach and Six Sigma
           operational initiatives ensure that we achieve world-class design and
           production capabilities in all our businesses, everywhere we operate.
 
             I look forward to speaking with you soon.
 
                                          Sincerely,
 
                                          Larry Bossidy

     On August 4, 1998, Parent publicly announced its intention to commence the
Offer.
 
     On August 10, 1998, Purchaser commenced the Offer and Mr. Bossidy sent the
following letter to Mr. Hudson:

        Dear Bill:
 
             As you know, we commenced our tender offer today. I also wanted to
        advise you that we will be filing materials with the Securities and
        Exchange Commission shortly to prepare to begin a consent solicitation.
 
             We continue to believe in the merits of the proposed combination
        for both our companies, and I want to reiterate that we strongly prefer
        to negotiate an agreement that best serves the vital interests of all of
        your shareowners, employees and other stakeholders. Therefore, I am
        again requesting a meeting with you to discuss our proposal in a
        professional and constructive manner. I am prepared to meet at a time
        and place convenient to you. I will call you tomorrow to ask when we can
        meet.

        Dear Larry:
 
             I received your letter yesterday afternoon and am writing to let
        you know that I will pass on to the AMP Board of Directors your request
        for a meeting to discuss AlliedSignal's proposal. The AMP Board will be
        meeting in the near future to review the offer recently commenced by
        AlliedSignal. However, until the Board has an opportunity to consider
        the offer, as well as your request for a meeting, I believe that a
        meeting between us would be premature. If after considering the offer,
        the Board believes that a meeting would be appropriate, I will be in
        touch with you promptly following such a decision.
 
             I would appreciate your understanding on this matter.
 
                                          Sincerely,

                            SOLICITATION OF CONSENTS
 
     Solicitation of consents may be made by the directors, officers, investor
relations personnel and other employees of Parent, Purchaser and their
affiliates and by the Nominees. Consents will be solicited by mail,
advertisement, telephone or telecopier and in person. No such persons will
receive additional compensation for such solicitation.
 
     In addition, Parent and Purchaser have retained Morrow to assist in the
solicitation, for which services Morrow will be paid a fee of $250,000 and will
be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Parent has also agreed
to indemnify Morrow against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain
liabilities and expenses under the Federal securities laws. It is anticipated
that between 50 to 75 persons will be employed by Morrow to solicit
shareholders. Morrow is also acting as Information Agent in connection with the
Offer, for which Morrow will be paid reasonable and customary compensation in
addition to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
 
     Banks, brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to
forward solicitation material to beneficial owners of the shares of Company
Common Stock. Parent will reimburse banks, brokers, custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for sending solicitation material to
the beneficial owners.
 
     Lazard Freres & Co. LLC ('Lazard') and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ('Goldman
Sachs') are acting as Dealer Managers in connection with the Offer and as
investment bankers for Parent and Purchaser in connection with the Offer and
related transactions. Parent and Purchaser have agreed to pay each of Lazard and
Goldman Sachs $12,000,000 in connection therewith. Parent and Purchaser have
also agreed to reimburse Lazard and Goldman Sachs for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of their
counsel and to indemnify Lazard and Goldman Sachs and certain related persons
against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities and
expenses under the Federal securities laws.
 
     In connection with the engagement of Lazard and Goldman Sachs as investment
bankers, Parent and Purchaser anticipate that three representatives of Lazard
and four representatives of Goldman Sachs may communicate in person, by
telephone or otherwise, with a limited number of institutions, brokers or other
persons who are shareholders of the Company for the purpose of assisting in the
solicitation of consents. Neither Lazard nor Goldman Sachs will receive any
additional fee for or in connection with such solicitation activities by its
representatives apart from the fees it is otherwise entitled to receive as
described above.
 
     Certain information about the employees of Parent who are not Nominees and
certain representatives of Purchaser and Parent who will assist Morrow in
soliciting consents is set forth in Annex II. Annex III sets forth certain
information relating to the ownership of shares of the Company Common Stock by
Parent and Purchaser, their directors, executive officers, employees and
representatives, and the Nominees, and with respect to transactions between
any of them and the Company.
 
     The cost of the solicitation of consents to the Proposals will be borne by
Parent. Parent will not seek reimbursement of the costs of this solicitation
from the Company. Costs related to the solicitation of consents to the Proposals
include expenditures for attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, consent
solicitors, public relations advisors, printing, advertising, postage,
litigation and related expenses and filing fees and are expected to aggregate
approximately $   million, of which $  million has been spent to date. The
portion of such costs allocable solely to the solicitation of consents to the
Proposals is not readily determinable.
 
                               CONSENT PROCEDURE
 
     Section 2524 of the PBCL states that actions may be authorized by
shareholders by less than unanimous written consent if permitted by a
corporation's articles of incorporation. Article IX of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation provides that 'any action that may be taken at a meeting of the
shareholders . . . may be taken without a meeting if proper consent is made to
the action.' It further states that 'any such action may be taken without a
meeting upon the written consent of shareholders that would be necessary to
authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote
were present and voting.'
 
                                       17

     Section 1763 of the PBCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in a
corporation's bylaws, if no record date has been fixed by the board of
directors, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be the first date on which a
signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is
delivered to the corporation. Section 1.7.2 of the Company By-laws provides that
any shareholder seeking to have the shareholders of the Company authorize or
take action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the
Company, request that the Company Board fix a record date. The Company Board is
required to promptly, but in all events within 10 days of the date on which the
request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If the Company
Board does not fix a record date within 10 days after the receipt of the
request, the record date for the solicitation will be the date on which the
first signed consent is delivered to the Company. On August 11, Parent and
Purchaser requested that the Company Board fix August 31, 1998 as the record
date for the consent solicitation made hereby. [On            , 1998, the
Company Board fixed            , 1998 as the Record Date.] [The Company Board
did not fix a record date for the solicitation made hereby prior to            ,
1998. On            , 1998, Parent delivered a signed consent to
the Company in favor of the Proposals. Accordingly, the Record Date is
           , 1998.]
 
EFFECTIVENESS AND REVOCATION OF CONSENTS
 
     The corporate actions proposed herein will be adopted when properly
completed, unrevoked consents consenting to the Proposals are signed by the
holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date of a majority
of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding, and such consents are
delivered to the Company, provided that the requisite consents are so delivered
within 90 days of the Record Date. The effectiveness of each Proposal is subject
to, and conditioned upon, the adoption of all other Proposals by the holders of
record, as of the close of business on the Record Date, of a majority of the
shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding.
 
     Under Section 1.7.3 of the Company By-laws, the Secretary of the Company is
required to designate an independent qualified inspector in connection with this
consent solicitation. The inspector is required, as soon as practicable after
receipt of written consents for adoption of the Proposals, to conduct such
reasonable investigations as the inspector deems necessary or appropriate for
the purpose of ascertaining the validity of the consents, including determining
whether the holders of shares of Company Common Stock having the requisite
voting power to authorize the Proposals have given consent. If after this
investigation, the inspector determines that actions proposed by this consent
solicitation have been validly taken, that fact is to be certified on the
Company's records. Purchaser plans to present the results of a successful
solicitation with respect to the corporate actions proposed herein to the
Company as soon as possible.
 
     An executed consent card may be revoked by signing, dating and delivering a
written revocation at any time prior to the date that the Company has received
the required number of properly completed, unrevoked consents to authorize the
proposed actions. The delivery of a subsequently dated consent card that is
properly completed and signed will constitute a revocation of any earlier
consent card delivered by such holder. The revocation may be delivered either to
Parent and Purchaser in care of Morrow & Co., Inc., 909 Third Avenue, 20th
Floor, New York, NY 10022, or to the Company at 470 Friendship Road, Harrisburg,
PA 17111 or any other address provided by the Company. Although a revocation is
effective if delivered to the Company, Purchaser requests that either the
original or photostatic copies of all revocations of consents be mailed or
delivered to Parent and Purchaser in care of Morrow at the address set forth
above, so that Parent and Purchaser will be aware of all revocations and can
more accurately determine if and when unrevoked consents to the actions
described in this Consent Statement have been received from the holders of
record on the Record Date of a majority of outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock.
 
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
 
     If you were a record holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of the
close of business on the Record Date, you may elect to consent to, withhold
consent to or abstain with respect to each Proposal by marking the 'CONSENT',
'DOES NOT CONSENT' or 'ABSTAIN' box, as applicable,
 
                                       18

underneath each such Proposal on the accompanying BLUE consent card and signing,
dating and returning it promptly in the enclosed post-paid envelope.
 
     If the shareholder signing, dating and returning the BLUE consent card has
failed to check a box marked 'CONSENT', 'DOES NOT CONSENT' or 'ABSTAIN' for
all of the Proposals, such shareholder will be deemed to have consented to all
of the Proposals, except that such shareholder will not be deemed to have
consented to the election of any Nominee whose name is written in on the consent
card.
 
     PARENT AND PURCHASER RECOMMEND THAT YOU CONSENT TO EACH OF THE PROPOSALS.
 
     YOUR CONSENT IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE MARK, SIGN AND DATE THE ENCLOSED BLUE
CONSENT CARD AND RETURN IT IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROMPTLY.
FAILURE TO RETURN YOUR CONSENT CARD WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS VOTING AGAINST
THE PROPOSALS.
 
     If your shares of Company Common Stock are held in the name of a brokerage
firm, bank nominee or other institution, only such entity can execute a consent
with respect to your shares of Company Common Stock and only upon receipt of
specific instructions from you. Accordingly, you should contact the person
responsible for your account and give instructions for the BLUE consent card to
be signed representing your shares of Company Common Stock. Parent and Purchaser
urge you to confirm in writing your instructions to the person responsible for
your account and provide a copy of those instructions to the Parent and
Purchaser in care of Morrow at the address set forth above so that Parent and
Purchaser will be aware of all instructions given and can attempt to ensure that
such instructions are followed.
 
                               DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
 
     Shareholders of the Company are not entitled to dissenters' rights in
connection with the Proposals.
 
     If a Proposed Merger is consummated involving all or part cash
consideration, dissenters' rights would be provided in accordance with Section
1930(a) of the PBCL. In that event, any issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock held by persons who object to the Proposed Merger and comply with all the
provisions of the PBCL concerning the right of holders of Shares to dissent from
the Proposed Merger and require valuation of their shares of Company Common
Stock will not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to be
paid pursuant to the Proposed Merger but will become the right to receive
payment of the 'fair value' of their shares of Common Stock (exclusive of any
element of appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the Proposed Merger).
 
     Dissenters' rights cannot be exercised at this time. Shareholders who will
be entitled to dissenters' rights in connection with the Proposed Merger (or
similar business combination) will receive additional information concerning any
available dissenters' rights and the procedures to be followed in connection
therewith before the shareholders have to take any action relating thereto.
 
     EXECUTING A WRITTEN CONSENT IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSALS WILL NOT PREVENT A
SHAREHOLDER FROM DEMANDING APPRAISAL OF HIS OR HER SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PROPOSED MERGER.
 
                                   LITIGATION
 
     On August 4, 1998, Parent filed a complaint against the Company in the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the
'Complaint'). The Complaint seeks: (i) declaratory relief declaring the Dead
Hand Provision of the Rights Agreement invalid; (ii) injunctive relief requiring
the Company Board to redeem the Rights and exempt the Offer from the provisions
of the Pennsylvania Business Combination Statute; (iii) declaratory and
injunctive relief prohibiting any effort by the Company to manipulate or
otherwise subvert the process of corporate democracy by (a) amending the Company
By-laws, (b) increasing the size of the Company Board, (c) fixing a record date
for determining shareholders entitled to execute consents in response to this
consent solicitation more than ten (10) days after the date that Parent gives
notice demanding that such a record date be
 
                                       19

fixed, or (d) taking any other action to frustrate the Offer or 
this consent solicitation that Parent is conducting to facilitate the
Offer and Proposed Merger; and (iv) declaratory relief declaring that,
to the extent that the Dead Hand Provision and other anti-takeover devices
that preclude tender offers and consent solicitations are permitted under
Pennsylvania law, such law is unconstitutional under the Supremacy and Commerce
Clauses of the United States Constitution.

    may defer receipt of up to 50% of their annual base salary and all officers
    of the Company may defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual cash
    bonus. Deferred compensation may be allocated to a phantom AMP Common Stock
    account, as described in footnote 1 to the Summary Compensation Table on
    page 11 of the Company Proxy Statement. Dividends earned on Performance
    Restricted Shares are credited to the executive officer's account and are
    deemed to be invested in phantom shares of Common Stock. These phantom
    shares vest only when, and to the extend the associated Performance
    Restricted Shares vest, as described in footnote 3 to the Summary
    Compensation Table on page 12 of the Company Proxy Statement.
 
(4) In addition, a total of 8,782 shares are held by immediate family members of
    four executive officers, either directly or in a custodial account over

    officers disclaim beneficial ownership. Additionally, a director has a 2%
    residual beneficial interest, but no voting or dispositive powers in a trust
    that holds 7,392 shares of Common Stock of the Company. Of the beneficial
    ownership reported in this number, 15,791 and 122,192 shares are held by a
    director in two limited partnerships over which he shares voting and
    dispositive powers, and another director holds 1,400 shares in a family
    trust of which he is co-trustee with his wife and shares voting and
    dispositive powers. Also, nine directors hold a total of 64,000 options,
    some of which are exercisable within 60 days after March 3, 1998 and are
    reported in this number, and eighteen executive officers hold a total of
    1,606,145 options, some of which are exercisable within 60 days after March
    3, 1998 and are reported in this number, and 44,304 Stock Bonus Units, some
    of which will convert within 60 days after March 3, 1998 and are reported in
    this number. Of the total number of options held by executive officers and
    described above, 419,500 are held by Mr. Hudson, of which 61,800 have been
    transferred to a family limited partnership.

                                   ANNEX III
                    SHARES HELD BY PURCHASER, PARENT, THEIR
            DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AND
         OTHER REPRESENTATIVES OF PURCHASER AND PARENT AND THE NOMINEES
          AND CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN ANY OF THEM AND THE COMPANY
 
     On July 31, 1998, a subsidiary of Parent purchased 100 shares of Company
Common Stock for $29.6875 per share. Such shares were subsequently transferred
to Parent. No part of the purchase price or market value of any of such shares
was represented by funds borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of
acquiring or holding such shares. Purchaser and Parent disclaim beneficial
ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock owned by any pension plan of
Parent or any affiliate of Parent.
 
     Both Lazard and Goldman Sachs engage in a full range of investment banking,
securities trading, market-making and brokerage services for institutional and
individual clients. In the normal course of business, each of Lazard and Goldman
Sachs may trade securities of the Company for its own account and the accounts
of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position
in such securities. Lazard has informed Parent that, as of August 6, 1998,
Lazard held a net long position of approximately 20,861 shares of Company Common
Stock, and Goldman Sachs has informed Parent that, as of August 7, 1998, Goldman
Sachs held a net long position of 800,000 shares of Company Common Stock.
 
     Except as disclosed in this Consent Statement, none of Parent, Purchaser,
their directors or executive officers, the Nominees or the employees or other
representatives of Purchaser or Parent named in Annex II owns any securities of
the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, beneficially or of
record; has purchased or sold any such securities within the past two years; or
is or was within the past year a party to any contract, arrangement or
understanding with any person with respect to such securities. Except as
disclosed in this Consent Statement, to the best knowledge of Purchaser, Parent,
their directors or executive officers, the Nominees and the employees and other
representatives of Purchaser or Parent named in Annex II, none of their
associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, any securities of the
Company.
 
     Except as disclosed in this Consent Statement, none of Purchaser, Parent,
their directors or executive officers, the Nominees, the employees or other
representatives of Purchaser or Parent named in Annex II, or, to their best
knowledge, their associates has any arrangement or understanding with any person
(1) with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates or
(2) with respect to future transactions to which the Company or any of its
affiliates will or may be a party, nor any material interest, direct or
indirect, in any transaction that has occurred since January 1, 1997, or any
currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, which the
Company or any of its affiliates was or is to be a party and in which the amount
involved exceeds $60,000. Certain Nominees, directors and executive officers of
Parent or Purchaser and/or their respective associates may also be directors or
officers of other companies and organizations that have engaged in transactions
with the Company or its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business since
January 1, 1997, but Parent and Purchaser believes that the interest of such
persons in such transactions is not material.
