The consent solicitation would adopt proposals intended to elect AlliedSignal nominees as a majority of the Board of Directors.

AlliedSignal has also formally requested the AMP Board to set August 31 as the record date for the consent solicitation. AlliedSignal said, "This consent solicitation will enable AMP shareowners to adopt proposals that would: --fix the number of directors of AMP at 28; --require that the additional 17 director seats be filled by a majority vote of AMP's shareholders; and --elect 17 directors and senior officers of AlliedSignal as directors of AMP. Larry Bossidy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AlliedSignal said, "We continue to hope that the AMP management and Board will meet with us promptly, and proceed in a constructive and professional manner. To ensure that AMP shareowners will not be denied the right to accept our $44.50 cash offer, and to preserve our options, we have filed preliminary consent solicitation materials. We have also asked the AMP Board of Directors to set a record date of August 31, 1998 so that we can move forward expeditiously. We believe this is a sufficient and reasonable amount of time for the Board to state its position and facilitate the process of letting AMP shareowners speak for themselves on our offer."
