Cavanagh (201) 660-5706 American Home Products Extends Delayed Take-Down Agreement with FTC Madison, NJ, October 14, 1994--American Home Products Corporation (NYSE: AHP) today announced that it has, at the request of the staff of the Federal Trade Commission, agreed to amend the previously announced Delayed Take-Down Agreement in order to lengthen the period during which AHP is not permitted, without FTC consent, to purchase shares of American Cyanamid Company (NYSE: ACY) common stock in AHP's pending tender offer. Such period will now continue until midnight on November 9, 1994. AHP believes that meaningful progress has been made in its discussions with the FTC staff toward a resolution of the FTC clearance process and continues to look forward to such a resolution, although no assurance can be given that a negotiated final resolution will be obtained. In light of the amendment to the Delayed Take-Down Agreement, the expiration date of AHP's tender offer will, in all likelihood, be extended beyond the currently scheduled date of October 21, 1994. The period of such extension will be determined based on information available to AHP at the time of such extension. AHP is hopeful that the FTC clearance process will be completed on or prior to November 9, 1994, although no assurance can be given that such process will be completed by such time or that the tender offer period will not be extended beyond such time. # # # -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
