ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

Honeywell today announced that its Board of Directors has elected David M. Cote,
49, president, CEO and member of the Board effective immediately. Prior to his
appointment, Cote served as chairman, president, and CEO of TRW, the $16 billion
Cleveland-based products and services provider for the space, defense and
automotive markets. Before joining TRW, Cote spent 25 years in various
management and leadership positions at GE. Lawrence A. Bossidy, 66, will remain
chairman and a member of the Board of Honeywell until June 30, 2002, when he
will retire as expected from the company and relinquish both positions. At that
time, Cote will assume the chairmanship.
