ITEM 2.
On March 12, 2000, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with Autoliv Inc. which contemplates a tender offer by Autoliv for all
outstanding shares of common stock of OEA for a purchase price of $10.00 per
share in cash.
The tender offer contains a minimum condition of acceptance by a majority
of the common stock outstanding, along with other customary conditions, and
the agreement contemplates a second step merger in which untendered shares
would be converted into the right to receive $10.00 per share in cash. It is
expected that Autoliv will commence the tender offer shortly.
