(ii) The current Reports on Form 8-K dated January 14, 1994,
and March 16, 1994.
In addition, any and all documents filed by Pittston
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act after the date hereof, and prior to the filing of a post-
effective amendment to this registration statement which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from
the date of filing of such documents.
A description of the securities to be offered is
incorporated by reference herein from Item 1 of Pittston's
registration statement on Form 8-A dated June 16, 1993
(Commission File No. 1-9148).
Also incorporated by reference herein is Pittston's
registration statement on Form S-8, as filed with the Commission
on July 27, 1988 (No. 33-23333), as amended, relating to the 1988
Stock Option Plan.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The securities to be offered pursuant to this registration
statement have been registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act. See Item 3. - Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Information relating to indemnification of directors and
officers is incorporated by reference herein from Item 20 of
Pittston's Registration Statement on Form S-4
(No. 33-63852).
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
As no restricted securities are to be reoffered or resold
pursuant to this registration statement, this item is inappli-
cable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K and this
item are included following the Exhibit Index at Page 6 hereof.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this regis-
tration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the regis-
tration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect
to the plan of distribution not previously dis-
closed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the
registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indem-
nification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
