Bossidy Via Facsimile Chairman and Chief Executive Officer [fax number omitted] AlliedSignal, Inc. P.O. Box 3000 Morristown, NJ 07962 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, /s/ Bill William J. Hudson, Chief Executive Officer and President EX-2 3 EXHIBIT 2 [AlliedSignal Inc. Letterhead] August 11, 1998 AMP Incorporated 470 Friendship Road Harrisburg, PA 17111 Attention: David F. Henschel, Corporate Secretary and Associate General Legal Counsel Dear Mr. Henschel: As you know, PMA Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of AlliedSignal Inc., commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of AMP Incorporated at $44.50 per share. We have also indicated that, if AMP does not respond favorably to our proposal, we intend to commence a solicitation for the following purposes: (i) 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; (ii) to amend Section 2.4 of Article II of the Company By-laws to permit the Company's shareholders to fill vacancies on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Company Board"); (iii) to amend Section 1.54.3 of Article II of the Company By-laws to clarify that nominations of directors for election by written consent of shareholders are not subject to the advance notification provisions of the Company By-laws; (iv) to 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; and (v) to repeal each provision of the Company By-laws or amendment(s) thereto adopted subsequent to July 22, 1998 and prior to the effectiveness of the foregoing amendments and the seating of a sufficient number of Nominees to constitute a majority of the Company Board. AlliedSignal is the beneficial holder of 100 shares of AMP. Enclosed is the request of Cede & Co., the record holder of those shares, requesting the Board of Directors of AMP to fix a record date as provided in Article I, Section 1.7.2 of the By-laws of AMP. It is our request that the record date be set for August 31, 1998 which will provide time for AMP to comply with NYSE rules respecting the record date and at the same time give the market sufficient notice of this event. As required by the By-laws of AMP, we would expect that the record date would be set within 10 calendar days from this date. If you have any questions, please call the undersigned at [telephone number omitted]. Very truly yours, By: /s/ Peter M. Kreindler ------------------------------ Peter M. Kreindler, Esq. Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary EX-3 4 EXHIBIT 3 [Cede & Co. Letterhead] August 11, 1998 VIA FACSIMILE AND HAND DELIVERY AMP Incorporated 470 Friendship Road Harrisburg, PA 17111 Attention: David F. Henschel, Corporate Secretary and Associate General Legal Counsel Dear Mr. Henschel: Cede & Co. ("Cede"), the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), is a holder of record of shares of common stock, without par value, of AMP Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Company"). DTC is informed by its participant, The Chase Manhattan Bank (the "Participant"), that on the date hereof 100 of such shares (the "Shares") credited to Participant's DTC account are beneficially owned by AlliedSignal Inc., a Delaware corporation ("AlliedSignal"), a customer of Participant. At the request of Participant, on behalf of AlliedSignal and pursuant to Article 1, Section 1.7.2 of the Company's By-laws, Cede, as holder of record of the Shares, hereby requests that the Board of Directors of the Company fix, within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice, Monday, August 31, 1998, as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting. While Cede is furnishing this request as the shareholder of record of the Shares, it does so only at the request of the Participant, and only as a nominal party for the true party in interest, AlliedSignal. Cede and Participant have no interest in this matter other than to take those steps which are necessary to ensure that AlliedSignal is not denied its rights as the beneficial owner of the Shares, and Cede and Participant assume no further responsibility in this matter. Further correspondence on this matter should be directed to Peter Kreindler, Esq., Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, AlliedSignal Inc., 101 Columbia Road, Morristown, NJ 07962, with a copy directed to the attention of Robert DeGregorie, Esq., The Chase Manhattan Bank, 270 Park Avenue, 41st Floor, New York, NY 10017.
