("Thermo TerraTech"), Retec Acquisition Corporation (the "Merger Sub"), and Thermo Electron Corporation ("Thermo Electron") on November 9, 1999, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on January 18, 2000, by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on April 17, 2000, and by Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on May 5, 2000 (as amended and restated, the "Statement"), in connection with a proposal to adopt an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 19, 1999 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Thermo Electron, the Merger Sub and ThermoRetec, pursuant to which the Merger Sub, a subsidiary of Thermo Electron, will be merged with and into ThermoRetec. This Final Amendment is being filed, pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3), to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Statement.

Except as expressly set forth in this Final Amendment, all information in this Statement remains unchanged. ITEM 3. PAST CONTACTS, TRANSACTIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS. The information set forth in Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: At a Special Meeting of the stockholders held on June 5, 2000, the stockholders of ThermoRetec voted to adopt the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement was approved by holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, as required by Delaware law. The transactions with respect to the Merger described in this Statement were consummated on June 5, 2000. The Company filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 5, 2000 and, as a result, the Merger became effective as of 11:15 a.m. (the "Effective Time") on that date. The separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased as of the Effective Time. Each share of common stock of the Company that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Thermo TerraTech and Thermo Electron and stockholders exercising dissenters' rights) was converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive $7.00 per share in cash without interest, in accordance with the Merger Agreement. ITEM 5. PLANS OR PROPOSALS OF THE ISSUER OR AFFILIATE. The information set forth in Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: The Merger was consummated on June 5, 2000. Because the Company, as a result of the Merger, has only one stockholder, the Company filed on June 6, 2000 a certification on Form 15 pursuant to Rule 12g-4 to provide notice of termination of the registration of the common stock of the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to suspend all reporting requirements thereunder. ITEM 10. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. The information set forth in Item 10 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: As a result of the Merger and the transactions consummated in connection therewith, Thermo Electron owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (as the Surviving Corporation). SIGNATURES After due inquiry and to the best of his knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.
