Pursuant to the Plan, before each annual or special meeting of the shareholders of TRW Inc., each Plan participant with an account balance in the TRW Stock Fund (an investment fund within the Plan consisting solely of TRW Common) is sent a copy of the proxy solicitation material. In addition, each participant is sent forms for advising the three individual co-trustees for the TRW Stock Fund (the "Co-Trustees") how to vote the shares of TRW Common held for the participant's account. Upon receipt of instructions from each Plan participant, the Co-Trustees vote the shares as instructed. The Co-Trustees have the right to vote, at their discretion, the shares of TRW Common for which no voting instructions are received from participants. The Co-Trustees have the right to vote, at their discretion, or to grant discretionary voting authority to proxy holders with respect to matters that are brought to a vote at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders of TRW Inc. which are not set forth on the voting instruction form sent to participants in advance of the meeting.

(2)

Pursuant to the Plan, participants may make contributions to one or more of nine investment funds, including the TRW Stock Fund. Company contributions to the Plan are made exclusively to the TRW Stock Fund. Subject to certain restrictions, a participant may elect to withdraw the value of his or her account in the Plan, including that portion of his or her account in the TRW Stock Fund. Withdrawals from the TRW Stock Fund are currently paid in cash, unless the Plan participant elects to receive shares, in which case the withdrawal is paid in whole shares. A participant may elect at any time to transfer funds from one investment fund under the Plan to another fund. Such elections might have the effect of requiring the Plan to dispose of shares and to use the proceeds therefrom to fund such transfer. In the case of a tender offer for TRW Common, the Co-Trustees will tender or not tender the shares held for participants' accounts in accordance with directions received from participants; provided, however that (i) the Co-Trustees will determine whether or not to tender shares for which no valid directions are received from Plan participants in their discretion; and (ii) directors and certain officers of TRW do not have the right to direct the Co-Trustees as to whether shares of TRW Common attributable to their accounts should be tendered.

Item 5.	Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:
	If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ].
Item 6.	Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:
	The Plan is a combined profit-sharing and employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. That part of the Plan comprised of a fund in which Company contributions are invested in TRW Common is an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), while the remaining funds form a profit-sharing plan. All shares of TRW Common held by the Plan are held for the benefit of participants. Dividends paid in respect of shares held by the Plan are credited to the account of the participants except that dividends paid to the Plan on shares of TRW Common held by the ESOP are either paid in cash to Plan participants or, at the Company's discretion, used to repay any ESOP Loan (in which case participants' accounts will be credited with an equivalent amount of TRW Common).
