ABOUT HONEYWELL
Honeywell, a Delaware corporation, is a diversified technology and
manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and
services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive
products; power generation systems; specialty chemicals; fibers; plastics; and
electronic and advanced materials. We employ approximately 120,000 people in 95
countries.
OUR BUSINESS
We aggregate our strategic business units into four reportable segments:
AEROSPACE SOLUTIONS. Our Aerospace Solutions segment is a customer-driven
global provider of integrated avionics, engines, systems and service solutions
for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business and general aviation, military
and airport operations. Our aerospace products can be found on virtually every
type of aircraft in use, in nearly every region of the world.
Major product categories for Aerospace Solutions include:
Avionics systems and equipment for communication, navigation and safety
Aircraft systems and components including auxiliary power units,
environmental controls, aircraft lighting and integrated landing systems
Propulsion systems including turboprop and turbofan engines for business
and regional aircraft and helicopters
Launch and satellite vehicle systems including inertial and global
positioning systems, guidance systems, satellite positioning and
stabilization systems, and launch vehicle controls
Airport systems including satellite landing systems, airport lighting,
ground vehicle management and maintenance systems
In addition to our aerospace products, we offer a wide range of value-added
services, including:
Comprehensive maintenance and support for all our products
A large portfolio of spare parts and consumable hardware
Inventory management
Logistics and process support
Technical publications
Ground support equipment
Training
Our Aerospace Solutions sales in 1999 were $9,908 million or basically flat
compared with 1998. Sales of avionics products were higher due principally to
continued strong demand for flight safety products such as collision avoidance
and enhanced ground proximity warning systems. Sales to the aftermarket,
particularly repair and overhaul and the military, were also higher. The
acquisition of a controlling interest in the Normalair-Garrett Ltd.
environmental controls joint venture in the prior year also increased sales in
1999. This increase was offset by lower sales to commercial air transport and
military original equipment manufacturers, and the effects of divestitures and a
restructuring of a government technical services contract.
Our Aerospace Solutions segment profit for 1999 was $1,918 million, an
increase of $331 million, or 21 percent compared with 1998. The increase
principally resulted from improved sales of higher-margin aftermarket and
avionics products and cost structure improvements primarily from census and
benefit cost reductions.
AUTOMATION & ASSET MANAGEMENT. Our Automation & Asset Management segment is
comprised of two strategic business units: Home and Building Control and
Industrial Control.
S-4
Home and Building Control provides products and services to create
efficient, safe, comfortable environments. This unit offers:
Controls for heating, ventilating, humidification and air-conditioning
equipment
Security and fire alarm systems
Home comfort products and integration systems
Energy-efficient lighting controls
Building management systems and services
In February 2000, our Home and Building Control business acquired Pittway
Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of
security and fire systems and low-voltage products for homes and buildings.
Pittway had 1999 sales of $1.6 billion. See 'Recent Developments'.
Industrial Control is the world's leading supplier of industrial control
systems and related advanced software solutions and products. The mission of the
Industrial Control unit is to improve our customers' competitiveness through the
application of sensing and control technologies.
Our Automation & Asset Management sales in 1999 were $6,115 million, an
increase of $158 million, or 3 percent compared with 1998. Sales were higher for
the Home and Building Control business driven by growth in control and consumer
products and building services and security. Acquisitions also contributed to
the sales increase. Lower sales from the energy retrofit and installed systems
businesses were a partial offset. Sales for the Industrial Control business were
basically flat compared with the prior year. Higher sales due to acquisitions
and growth in the sensing and control business were offset by the effects of
continued weakness in the pulp and paper and refining markets. Sales for the
segment were also negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations due to
the strong dollar.
Our Automation & Asset Management segment profit in 1999 was $767 million,
an increase of $62 million, or 9 percent compared with 1998. Segment profit for
the Home and Building Control business was up significantly due to improvement
in the control products business and the exiting of the lower-margin energy
retrofit and installed systems businesses. Cost savings from census reductions
also contributed to the improvement. This increase was offset somewhat by lower
segment profit for the Industrial Control business as growth in the
higher-margin sensing and control business and cost structure improvements were
more than offset by the effects of continued weakness in the pulp and paper and
refining markets.
PERFORMANCE MATERIALS. Our Performance Materials segment is comprised of
three strategic business units: Electronic Materials, Specialty Chemicals and
Performance Polymers.
Electronic Materials is a leading provider of:
Materials and solutions used in wafer fabrication
Specialty electronic materials such as amorphous alloy products, copper
foils, and advanced polymers
Advanced packaging substrates for silicon chips
Printed circuit boards
Electronic manufacturing services
Specialty Chemicals is a leading global manufacturer of specialty and fine
chemicals for a broad range of markets. We provide tailored customer solutions
worldwide through the Chemical Specialties, Fluorine Products, Pharmaceutical
Fine Chemicals, Specialty Wax and Additives businesses that make up our
Specialty Chemicals strategic business unit.
Performance Polymers is a world leader in the production of nylon,
polyester, polyethylene, fluoropolymer and other chemicals used in engineered
plastics, specialty films, performance fibers and carpet fibers.
S-5
Our Performance Materials sales in 1999 were $4,007 million, a decrease of
$162 million, or 4 percent compared with 1998 due principally to divestitures
including the environmental catalyst, Laminate Systems and phenol businesses.
Lower sales for carpet fibers also contributed to the decrease. Higher sales for
specialty films, engineering plastics and waxes were a partial offset. Higher
sales from the acquisitions of Johnson Matthey Electronics, a supplier of wafer
fabrication materials and interconnect products to the electronics and
telecommunications industries, and Pharmaceutical Fine Chemicals, a supplier of
active and intermediate pharmaceutical chemicals, were also a partial offset.
Our Performance Materials segment profit in 1999 was $439 million, a
decrease of $195 million, or 31 percent compared with 1998. The decrease
principally reflects the effects of the continuing pricing pressures in the
Performance Polymers and Electronic Materials businesses and higher raw material
costs in certain Performance Polymers businesses. The impact of prior year
divestitures also contributed to the decrease. The effect of improved sales
volume for specialty films, engineering plastics and waxes was a partial offset.
POWER & TRANSPORTATION PRODUCTS. Our Power & Transportation Products segment
is comprised of three strategic business units: Transportation and Power
Systems, Consumer Products Group and Friction Materials. This segment's key
areas of business include automotive and truck products, engine boosting systems
and on-site power generation. Its products include:
Garrett'r' turbochargers and charge air coolers
Bendix'r' air brakes, compressors, air dryers, disk brake pads and drum
brake linings
JURID'TM' & RoadTuff'r' friction material
FRAM'r' filters
Autolite'r' spark plugs
Prestone'r' and Holts'r' car care products
Parallon'TM' 75 TurboGenerator
Simoniz'r' appearance products (outside North America)
Our Power & Transportation Products sales in 1999 were $3,581 million, an
increase of $194 million, or 6 percent compared with 1998. Sales for the
Transportation and Power Systems business were significantly higher driven by
strong growth for the turbocharging systems business due primarily to continued
strong sales in Europe reflecting the turbodiesel's increased penetration of the
passenger car market. Sales for our Commercial Vehicle Systems business, which
is part of Transportation and Power Systems, increased due principally to
increased North American truck builds. Sales for the Consumer Products Group
business also increased, led by higher sales of Prestone'r' products and FRAM'r'
filters. Lower sales for the Friction Materials business due to pricing
pressures and weakness in the European market were a partial offset. Sales were
also negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations due to the strong
dollar.
Our Power & Transportation Products segment profit in 1999 was
$322 million, an increase of $88 million, or 38 percent compared with 1998. The
increase reflects higher sales for the Transportation and Power Systems and
Consumer Products Group businesses. Cost structure improvements in these
businesses resulting from Six Sigma initiatives, materials procurement savings
and census reductions also contributed to the increase.
MERGER OF ALLIEDSIGNAL INC. AND HONEYWELL INC.
On December 1, 1999, AlliedSignal Inc. and Honeywell Inc. combined to create
Honeywell International Inc. On that date, AlliedSignal Inc. changed its name to
Honeywell International Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell
International Inc. merged into Honeywell Inc., which as a result became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc. The merger has been
accounted for as a pooling of interest.
Based on our review of the operations and infrastructure of the combined
companies, we expect that we will realize annual cost savings of at least
$250 million in 2000, $575 million in
S-6
2001 and $750 million in 2002. We expect to realize at least $750 million in
cost savings in 2002 as follows:
by achieving procurement and purchasing efficiencies by utilizing
AlliedSignal's and Honeywell Inc.'s combined purchasing capabilities,
centralizing the two companies' purchasing processes and benefiting from
the added buying efficiencies that we expect as a result of higher volume
purchases;
by accelerating implementation of our 'Six Sigma' initiative to achieve
defect-free performance in manufacturing and other business processes, and
applying this initiative to Honeywell Inc.'s businesses, to further enhance
the quality of our products and services and increase productivity;
by rationalizing corporate overhead costs through the elimination of
redundant corporate functions and facilities;
by reducing overhead in our aerospace businesses by eliminating
redundancies in the sales and administrative functions and field service
operations of these businesses;
by integrating our research and development programs and achieving research
and development efficiencies;
by reducing our infrastructure costs by integrating AlliedSignal's and
Honeywell Inc.'s international operations and eliminating infrastructure
redundancies; and
by providing to Honeywell Inc.'s business units administrative services in
the areas of accounting, human resources, travel, information technology
and training, through AlliedSignal's centralized shared services
organization, and eliminating similar services formerly provided by
Honeywell Inc. to its business units.
While we expect that we will be able to realize these cost savings, we can
give no assurance that we will actually be able to do so. Our success in
realizing these cost savings, and the timing of this realization, depends on the
quality and speed of the integration of our two companies. We may not realize
the cost savings that we anticipate from integrating our operations following
completion of the merger as fully or as quickly as we expect for a number of
reasons, including our large size and worldwide presence and the resulting
complexity of our organization or unexpected events such as major changes in the
markets in which we operate. See 'Cautionary Statement Concerning
Forward-Looking Statements'.
We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our
portfolio as to strategic fit, market position and profit contribution in order
to upgrade its combined portfolio and identify operating units that will most
benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will
further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also
identify operating units that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based
on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These
operating units are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other
repositioning action subject to regulatory constraints.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In February 2000, Honeywell completed its acquisition of Pittway
Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of
security and fire systems and other low-voltage products for homes and
buildings. Its systems and products are marketed globally under the Ademco,
Notifier, System Sensor, ADI, Northern Computers and other popular brand names.
Pittway had 1999 sales of $1.6 billion. Our acquisition of Pittway gives us
access to the higher growth security and fire systems business. We expect that
this will permit us to offer integrated solutions combining climate controls
with security and fire systems. The value of the acquisition is approximately
$2.2 billion, including the assumption of the net debt of Pittway of
approximately $167 million.

(1) We define 'gross interest expense' for this purpose as total interest and
other financial charges.
(2) In 1999, includes merger, repositioning and other charges, and gains on the
sales of our Laminate Systems business and our investment in AMP
Incorporated common stock, resulting in a net after-tax charge of $624
million. In 1998, includes repositioning charges, a gain on settlement of
litigation claims and a tax benefit resulting from the favorable resolution
of certain prior-year research and development tax claims resulting in a net
after-tax charge of $4 million. In 1997, includes repositioning and other
charges, gains on the sales of our automotive Safety Restraints and certain
Industrial Control businesses and a charge related to the 1996 sale of our
automotive Braking Systems business resulting in a net after-tax charge of
$5 million.
(3) We define 'total debt' for this purpose as long-term debt, including current
maturities, plus short-term borrowings and commercial paper.
(4) We define 'net debt' for this purpose as total debt less cash and cash
equivalents.
(5) We define 'EBITDA' for this purpose as earnings before interest and other
financial charges, taxes on income, depreciation, amortization and equity in
income of affiliated companies without reduction for related other charges.
EBITDA is a measure commonly used to analyze companies on the basis of
operating performance. EBITDA is not a measure of financial
S-9
performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of performance, nor
as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure
of liquidity. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA in the same
fashion, EBITDA as calculated by us may differ from EBITDA as calculated by
other companies.
(6) For the periods presented, we recorded certain charges and gains that have
been excluded for the purpose of calculating 'adjusted EBITDA'. In 1999,
excludes merger, repositioning and other charges, and gains on the sales of
our Laminate Systems business and our investment in AMP Incorporated common
stock, resulting in a net pre-tax charge of $913 million. In 1998, excludes
repositioning charges, a gain on settlement of litigation claims and a tax
benefit resulting, from the favorable resolution of certain prior-year
research and development tax claims resulting in a net pre-tax charge of $30
million. In 1997, excludes repositioning and other charges, gains on the
sales of our automotive Safety Restraints and certain Industrial Control
businesses and a charge related to the 1996 sale of our automotive Braking
Systems business, resulting in a net pre-tax charge of $38 million.
(7) We define 'book capital' for this purpose as the sum of total debt,
shareowners' equity, and net long-term deferred tax liabilities, which are
long-term deferred income tax liabilities net of long-term deferred income
tax assets.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the offering of the notes, which are expected to be
approximately $ after underwriting discounts and payment of expenses
related to the offering, will be used for repayment and refinancing of debt,
including commercial paper issued to finance our acquisition of Pittway, as well
as for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions, working
capital, capital expenditures and repurchases of securities. Pending any
specific application, we may initially invest funds in short-term marketable
securities or apply them to reduce short-term indebtedness.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The following table sets forth the historical ratio of earnings to fixed
charges and preferred stock dividends of Honeywell for the periods indicated:
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1997 1996 1995
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
6.74 8.05 7.20 6.65 5.70
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is generally computed by dividing the
sum of net income, income taxes and fixed charges (net of capitalized interest)
less undistributed equity income by fixed charges. Fixed charges represent gross
interest and amortization of debt discount and expense and the interest factor
of all rentals, consisting of an appropriate interest factor on operating
leases.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the notes offered
hereby supplements the description of the general terms and provisions of debt
securities under the heading 'Description of Debt Securities' in the
accompanying prospectus. Terms used in this prospectus supplement that are
otherwise not defined will have the meanings given to them in the accompanying
prospectus.
GENERAL
We will issue the notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000.
The notes will mature at par on , 2010. The notes will constitute
part of the senior debt of Honeywell and will rank pari passu with all other
unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Honeywell. We will issue the notes
only in book-entry form, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000. Principal of and interest on the notes will be payable, and the transfer
of notes will be registerable, through the Depositary as described below.
The notes will bear interest at the annual rate shown on the cover of this
prospectus supplement and will accrue interest from , 2000 or from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest
will be payable twice a year, on and , beginning , 2000,
to the person in whose name a note is registered at the close of business on the
or that precedes the date on which interest will be paid.
Interest payments for the notes will include accrued interest from and including
the date of issue or from and including the last date in respect of which
interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the interest
payment date or the date of maturity, as the case may be. Interest payable at
the maturity of the notes will be payable to the registered holder of the note
to whom principal is payable. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a business day, the
interest payment will be postponed to the next day that is a business day, and
no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such
interest payment date. If the maturity date of the notes falls on a day that is
not a business day, the payment of interest and principal may be made on the
next succeeding business day, and no interest on such payment will accrue for
the period from and after the maturity date. As used in this prospectus
supplement, 'business day' means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that
is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are
authorized or required by law or regulation to close in The City of New York.
In some circumstances, we may elect to discharge our obligations on the
notes through defeasance or covenant defeasance. See 'Description of Debt
Securities -- Defeasance Provisions' in the accompanying prospectus for more
information about how we may do this.
We may, without the consent of the holders of notes, issue additional notes
having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as
the applicable notes. Any additional notes having such similar terms, together
with the applicable notes, will constitute a single series of notes under the
indenture. No additional notes may be issued if an event of default has occurred
with respect to the applicable series of notes.
We have appointed Chase Manhattan Bank Luxembourg S.A., as paying agent and
transfer agent in Luxembourg with respect to the notes in definitive form. As
long as the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, we will maintain
a paying and transfer agent in Luxembourg, and any change in the Luxembourg
paying agent and transfer agent will be published in Luxembourg. See
' -- Notices' below.
BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM
The notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global
notes (the 'Global Notes') which will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The
Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (the 'Depositary' or 'DTC') and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., the Depositary's
S-13
nominee. Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be represented through
book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial
owners as direct and indirect participants in the Depositary. Investors may
elect to hold interests in the Global Notes through the Depositary, Clearstream
Banking, Societe anonyme ('Clearstream, Luxembourg') or Morgan Guaranty Trust
Company of New York, Brussels Office, as operator of the Euroclear System
('Euroclear') if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through
organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream, Luxembourg
and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through
customers' securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg's and Euroclear's
names on the books of their respective depositaries, which in turn will hold
such interests in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on
the books of the Depositary. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for
Clearstream, Luxembourg and The Chase Manhattan Bank will act as depositary for
Euroclear (in such capacities, the 'U.S. Depositaries'). Except as set forth
below, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to
another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its
nominee.
The Depositary has advised the Company as follows: the Depositary is a
limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a
'banking organization' within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member
of the Federal Reserve System, a 'clearing corporation' within the meaning of
the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a 'clearing agency' registered
pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. The Depositary
holds securities deposited with it by its participants and facilitates the
settlement of transactions among its participants in such securities through
electronic computerized book-entry changes in accounts of the participants,
thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
The Depositary's participants include securities brokers and dealers (including
the underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain
other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own the
Depositary. Access to the Depositary book-entry system is also available to
others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through
or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or
indirectly.
Clearstream, Luxembourg advises that it is incorporated under the laws of
Luxembourg as a bank. Clearstream, Luxembourg holds securities for its customers
('Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers') and facilitates the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers
through electronic book-entry transfers between their accounts. Clearstream,
Luxembourg provides to Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers, among other things,
services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of
internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing.
Clearstream, Luxembourg interfaces with domestic securities markets in over 30
countries through established depository and custodial relationships. As a bank,
Clearstream, Luxembourg is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission
for the Supervision of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du
Secteur Financier). Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers are recognized financial
institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and
dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other
organizations. Clearstream, Luxembourg's U.S. customers are limited to
securities brokers and dealers and banks. Indirect access to Clearstream,
Luxembourg is also available to other institutions such as banks, brokers,
dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Clearstream, Luxembourg Customer.
Distributions with respect to the notes held through Clearstream, Luxembourg
will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers in
accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S.
Depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg.
Euroclear advises that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for its
participants ('Euroclear Participants') and to clear and settle transactions
between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry
delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of
certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and
cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including securities lending
and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries.
Euroclear is operated by the Brussels,
S-14
Belgium office of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York (the 'Euroclear
Operator'), under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems, S.C., a Belgian
cooperative corporation (the 'Cooperative'). All operations are conducted by the
Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and
Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the
Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of
Euroclear Participants. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central
banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial
intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Euroclear is
also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.
The Euroclear Operator is the Belgian branch of a New York banking
corporation which is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. As such, it is
regulated and examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and the New York State Banking Department, as well as the Belgian Banking
Commission.
Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator
are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the
related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law
(collectively, the 'Terms and Conditions'). The Terms and Conditions govern
transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and
cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in
Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without
attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts.
The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of
Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding
through Euroclear Participants.
Distributions with respect to the notes held beneficially through Euroclear
will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance
with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. Depositary for
Euroclear.
Euroclear further advises that investors that acquire, hold and transfer
interests in the notes by book-entry through accounts with the Euroclear
Operator or any other securities intermediary are subject to the laws and
contractual provisions governing their relationship with their intermediary, as
well as the laws and contractual provisions governing the relationship between
such an intermediary and each other intermediary, if any, standing between
themselves and the Global Notes.
The Euroclear Operator advises that under Belgian law, investors that are
credited with securities on the records of the Euroclear Operator have a
co-property right in the fungible pool of interests in securities on deposit
with the Euroclear Operator in an amount equal to the amount of interests in
securities credited to their accounts. In the event of the insolvency of the
Euroclear Operator, Euroclear Participants would have a right under Belgian law
to the return of the amount and type of interests in securities credited to
their accounts with the Euroclear Operator. If the Euroclear Operator did not
have a sufficient amount of interests in securities on deposit of a particular
type to cover the claims of all Participants credited with such interests in
securities on the Euroclear Operator's records, all Participants having an
amount of interests in securities of such type credited to their accounts with
the Euroclear Operator would have the right under Belgian law to the return of
their pro rata share of the amount of interests in securities actually on
deposit.
Under Belgian law, the Euroclear Operator is required to pass on the
benefits of ownership in any interests in securities on deposit with it (such as
dividends, voting rights and other entitlements) to any person credited with
such interests in securities on its records.
Individual certificates in respect of the notes will not be issued in
exchange for the Global Notes, except in very limited circumstances. If DTC
notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a clearing system in
connection with the Global Notes or ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and a successor clearing system is not appointed by us
within 90 days after receiving such notice from DTC or upon becoming aware that
DTC is no longer so registered, we will issue or cause to be issued individual
certificates in registered form
S-15
on registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, book-entry interests in the
notes represented by such Global Notes upon delivery of such Global Notes for
cancellation. In the event that individual certificates are issued, holders of
the notes will be able to receive payments (including principal and interest) on
the notes and effect transfer of the notes at the offices of our paying and
transfer agent in Luxembourg, Chase Manhattan Bank Luxembourg S.A.
Title to book-entry interests in the notes will pass by book-entry
registration of the transfer within the records of Clearstream, Luxembourg,
Euroclear or DTC, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective
procedures. Book-entry interests in the notes may be transferred within
Clearstream, Luxembourg and within Euroclear and between Clearstream, Luxembourg
and Euroclear in accordance with procedures established for these purposes by
Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear. Book-entry interests in the notes may be
transferred within DTC in accordance with procedures established for this
purpose by DTC. Transfers of book-entry interests in the notes among
Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and DTC may be effected in accordance with
procedures established for this purpose by Clearstream, Luxembourg, Euroclear
and DTC.
A further description of the Depositary's procedures with respect to the
Global Notes is set forth in the prospectus under 'Book-Entry Issuance'. The
Depositary has confirmed to us, the underwriters and the trustee that it intends
to follow such procedures.
GLOBAL CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES
Initial settlement for the notes will be made in immediately available
funds. Secondary market trading between DTC participants will occur in the
ordinary way in accordance with the Depositary's rules and will be settled in
immediately available funds using the Depositary's Same-Day Funds Settlement
System. Secondary market trading between Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers
and/or Euroclear Participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with
the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream, Luxembourg and
Euroclear and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional
Eurobonds in immediately available funds.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly
through the Depositary on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through
Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will
be effected in the Depositary in accordance with the Depositary's rules on
behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S.
Depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of
instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the
counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and
within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European
international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement
requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. Depositary to take action to
effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering interests in the notes to or
receiving interests in the notes from the Depositary, and making or receiving
payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement
applicable to the Depositary. Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers and Euroclear
Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S.
Depositaries.
Because of time-zone differences, credits of interests in the notes received
in Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC
participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and
dated the business day following the Depositary settlement date. Such credits or
any transactions involving interests in such notes settled during such
processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg Customers or
Euroclear Participants on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream,
Luxembourg or Euroclear as a result of sales of interests in the notes by or
through a Clearstream, Luxembourg Customer or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC
participant will be received with value on the Depositary settlement date but
will be available in the relevant Clearstream, Luxembourg or Euroclear cash
account only as of the business day following settlement in the Depositary.
Although the Depositary, Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear have agreed
to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the
notes among participants of the Depositary, Clearstream, Luxembourg and
Euroclear, they are under no obligation to perform
S-16
or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be changed or
discontinued at any time.
TAX REDEMPTION
The notes may be redeemed as a whole, at our option at any time prior to
maturity, upon the giving of a notice of redemption as described below, if we
determine that, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws (or any
regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or of any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or any change in
official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws,
regulations or rulings, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after
the date of this prospectus supplement, we have or will become obligated to pay
additional amounts as described under ' -- Payment of Additional Amounts' below
with respect to such notes for reasons outside our control and after taking
reasonable measures to avoid such obligation. The notes will be redeemed at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Prior to the giving of any
notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, we will deliver to the trustee:
a certificate stating that we are entitled to effect such redemption and
setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to
our right to so redeem have occurred, and
an opinion of independent counsel satisfactory to the trustee to the effect
that we have or will become obligated to pay such additional amounts for
the reasons described above;
provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 60 days
prior to the earliest date on which we would be obligated to pay such additional
amounts if a payment in respect of the note were then due.
Notice of redemption will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption, which date and the applicable redemption
price will be specified in the notice. This notice will be given in accordance
with ' -- Notices' below.
PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS
We will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth below, pay
such additional amounts to the beneficial owner of any note who is a United
States alien as may be necessary in order that every net payment of principal of
and interest on such note and any other amounts payable on such note, after
withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or
governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United
States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein),
will not be less than the amount provided for in such note to be then due and
payable. We will not, however, be required to make any such payment of
additional amounts to any beneficial owner for or on account of:
any such tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have
been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection
between such beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor,
beneficiary, member or shareholder of such beneficial owner, if such
beneficial owner is an estate, a trust, a partnership or a corporation) and
the United States and its possessions, including, without limitation, such
beneficial owner (or such fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or
shareholder) being or having been a citizen or resident thereof or being or
having been engaged in a trade or business or present therein or having, or
having had, a permanent establishment therein;
any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property tax or
any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such
beneficial owner's past or present status as a personal holding company or
foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation or
passive foreign investment company with respect to the United States or as
a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid United States federal
income tax;
S-17
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is payable otherwise
than by withholding from payments on or in respect of any note;
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that would not have been
imposed but for the failure to comply with certification, information or
other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence or
identity of the beneficial owner of such note, if such compliance is
required by statute or by regulation of the United States or of any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a
precondition to relief or exemption from such tax, assessment or other
governmental charge;
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by reason of such
beneficial owner's past or present status as the actual or constructive
owner of 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
our stock entitled to vote or as a controlled foreign corporation that is
related directly or indirectly to us through stock ownership; or
any combination of these factors.
Such additional amounts shall also not be paid with respect to any payment on a
note to a United States alien who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than
the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would be
required by the laws of the United States (or any political subdivision thereof)
to be included in the income, for tax purposes, of a beneficiary or settlor with
respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner
who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had such
beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner, as the case may be, held its
interest in the note directly. The term 'United States alien' means any person
that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a
nonresident alien individual, a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate
or trust, or a foreign partnership to the extent that one or more of its members
is a foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual or a nonresident alien
fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust.
NOTICES
Notices to holders of the Notes will be sent by mail to the registered
holders and will be published, whether the Notes are in global or definitive
form, and so long as the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in a
daily newspaper of general circulation in Luxembourg. It is expected that
publication will be made in Luxembourg in the Luxemburger Wort. Any such notice
shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if
published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. So long as
the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, any appointment of or
change in the Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent will be published in
Luxembourg in the manner set forth above.
REPLACEMENT NOTES
In case of mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any definitive note,
application for replacement is to be made at the office of the trustee. Any such
definitive note will be replaced by the trustee in compliance with such
procedures, and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity, as we and the
trustee may require and subject to applicable laws and regulations of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange. All costs incurred in connection with the replacement
of any definitive note will be borne by the holder of the note. Mutilated or
defaced definitive notes must be surrendered before new ones will be issued.
UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAXATION
The following summary describes the material United States federal income
and certain estate tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the notes.
This summary provides general information only and is directed solely to
original beneficial owners purchasing notes at the 'issue price,' that is, the
first price at which a substantial amount of notes is sold to the public
(excluding sales to bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations
acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers). This
summary is based on the
S-18
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to the date hereof (the 'Code'),
existing administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, existing and
proposed Treasury Regulations currently in effect, and interpretations of the
foregoing, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this prospectus
supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein, possibly with
retroactive effect. This summary deals only with notes held as capital assets
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This summary does not discuss
all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a beneficial owner in light
of his particular circumstances or to beneficial owners subject to special
rules, such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in
securities, persons holding notes in connection with a hedging transaction,
'straddle,' conversion transaction or other integrated transaction or persons
who have ceased to be United States citizens or to be taxed as resident aliens.
Persons considering the purchase of notes should consult their own tax advisors
with regard to the application of the United States federal income and estate
tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences arising
under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO UNITED STATES PERSONS
For purposes of the following discussion, a 'United States person' means a
beneficial owner of a note that is, for United States federal income tax
purposes:
a citizen or resident of the United States, or
a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for United States
federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under the laws of
the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, or
an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal
income taxation regardless of its source.
Partnerships are subject to special tax rules and should contact their own tax
advisors.
PAYMENTS OF INTEREST
Interest on a note will generally be taxable to a United States person as
ordinary interest income at the time it is accrued or is received in accordance
with the United States person's method of accounting for tax purposes.
SALE, EXCHANGE OR RETIREMENT OF THE NOTES
Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a note, a United States person will
recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the United States person's
adjusted tax basis in the note. For these purposes, the amount realized does not
include any amount attributable to accrued interest on the note. Amounts
attributable to accrued interest are treated as interest as described under
' -- Payments of Interest' above. A United States person's adjusted tax basis in
a note generally will equal the cost of the note to the United States person.
Gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of a note will be
capital gain or loss. Prospective investors should consult their own tax
advisors regarding the treatment of capital gains (which may be taxed at lower
rates than ordinary income for taxpayers who are individuals, trusts or estates)
and losses (the deductibility of which is subject to limitations).
BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
Backup withholding and information reporting requirements may apply to
certain payments of principal, premium and interest on a note, and to payments
of proceeds of the sale or redemption of a note, to certain non-corporate United
States persons. Honeywell, its agent, a broker, or any paying agent, as the case
may be, will be required to withhold from any payment a tax equal to 31 percent
of such payment if
the United States person fails to furnish or certify its correct taxpayer
identification number to the payor in the manner required,
fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such United States person
is not subject to backup withholding, or
S-19
otherwise fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the backup
withholding rules.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
United States person may be credited against such United States person's United
States federal income tax and may entitle such United States person to a refund,
provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue
Service.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-UNITED STATES PERSONS
As used herein, the term 'non-United States person' means a beneficial owner
of a note that is, for United States federal income tax purposes:
a nonresident alien individual, or
a foreign corporation, or
an estate or trust that is not taxable in the United States on its
world-wide income.
INCOME AND WITHHOLDING TAX FOR NON-UNITED STATES PERSONS
The discussion under this heading is subject to the discussion of backup
withholding below.
Payments of principal and interest on a note that is beneficially owned by a
non-United States person will not be subject to United States federal
withholding tax; provided, that in the case of interest:
(a) each of the following conditions is met:
the beneficial owner does not actually or constructively own 10% or more
of the total combined voting power of all classes of Honeywell stock
entitled to vote, and
the beneficial owner is not a controlled foreign corporation that is
related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership, and
either
-- the beneficial owner of the note provides an IRS Form W-8 or W-8
BEN certifying to the person otherwise required to withhold United
States federal income tax from such interest that it is not a
United States person and provides its name and address, or
-- a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial
institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary
course of its trade or business (a 'financial institution') and
holds an interest in the note certifies to the person otherwise
required to withhold United States federal income tax from such
interest that such statement has been received from the beneficial
owner by it or by a financial institution between it and the
beneficial owner and furnishes the payor with a copy thereof; or
(b) the beneficial owner is entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty
under which the interest is exempt from United States federal
withholding tax and the beneficial owner of the note or such owner's
agent provides an IRS Form 1001 or W-8 BEN claiming the exemption; or
(c) the beneficial owner conducts a trade or business in the United States
to which the interest is effectively connected and the beneficial owner
of the note or such owner's agent provides an IRS Form 4224 or W-8 ECI;
provided that in each such case, the relevant certification or IRS Form is
delivered pursuant to applicable procedures and is properly transmitted to the
person otherwise required to withhold United States federal income tax, and none
of the persons receiving the relevant certification or IRS Form has actual
knowledge that the certification or any statement on the IRS Form is false. Some
of these procedures will change after December 31, 2000.
A non-United States person will not be subject to United States federal
withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition
of a note unless the gain is effectively connected with the beneficial owner's
trade or business in the United States or, in the case of an individual, the
beneficial owner is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year in which the sale, exchange or other disposition occurs and certain
other conditions are met.
S-20
A note owned by an individual who at the time of death is not, for United
States estate tax purposes, a citizen or resident of the United States generally
will not be subject to United States federal estate tax as a result of such
individual's death if the individual does not actually or constructively own 10%
or more of the total combined voting power or all classes of Honeywell stock
entitled to vote and, at the time of such individual's death the income on the
note would not have been effectively connected with a United States trade or
business of the individual.
If a non-United States person owning a note is engaged in a trade or
business in the United States, and if interest on the note (or gain realized on
its sale, exchange or other disposition) is effectively connected with the
conduct of such trade or business, such owner, although exempt from the
withholding tax discussed in the preceding paragraphs, will generally be subject
to regular United States income tax on such effectively connected income in the
same manner as if it were a United States person. In addition, if such owner is
a foreign corporation, it may be subject to a 30% branch profits tax (unless
reduced or eliminated by an applicable treaty) of its effectively connected
earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments. For
purposes of the branch profits tax, interest on, and any gain recognized on the
sale, exchange or other disposition of, a note will be included in the
effectively connected earnings and profits of such owner if such interest or
gain, as the case may be, is effectively connected with the conduct by such
owner of a trade or business in the United States.
Each owner of a note should be aware that if it does not properly provide
the required IRS form, or if the IRS form (or, if permissible, a copy of such
form) is not properly transmitted to and received by the United States person
otherwise required to withhold United States federal income tax, interest on the
note may be subject to United States withholding tax at a 30% rate, and the
owner will not be entitled to any additional amounts from us described under the
heading 'Description of Notes -- Payment of Additional Amounts' with respect to
such tax. Such tax, however, may in certain circumstances be allowed as a refund
or as a credit against such owner's United States federal income tax. The
foregoing does not deal with all aspects of federal income tax withholding that
may be relevant to a non-United States person that owns a note. Investors are
advised to consult their own tax advisors for specific advice concerning the
ownership and disposition of notes.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
Under current Treasury Regulations, backup withholding (imposed at the rate
of 31 percent) will not apply to payments made by us or a paying agent to an
owner in respect of a note if the certifications described above are received,
provided in each case that we or the paying agent, as the case may be, do not
have actual knowledge that the payee is a United States person.
Under current Treasury Regulations, payments of the proceeds from the sale,
exchange or other disposition of a note made to or through a foreign office of a
broker (including a custodian, nominee or other agent acting on behalf of the
beneficial owner of a note) generally will not be subject to information
reporting or backup withholding. However, if such broker is a United States
person, a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes or a foreign person with certain connections with the United States,
then information reporting will be required unless the broker has in its records
documentary evidence that the beneficial owner is not a United States person and
certain other conditions are met or the beneficial owner otherwise establishes
an exemption. Backup withholding may apply to any payment that such broker is
required to report if such broker has actual knowledge that the payee is a
United States person. Payments to or through the United States office of a
broker are subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the
beneficial owner certifies, under penalties of perjury, that it is a non-United
States person and that it satisfies certain other conditions or otherwise
establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.
New Treasury Regulations, which generally apply to payments made after
December 31, 2000, modify the foregoing rules in certain respects. Non-United
States persons owning notes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
application of information reporting and backup withholding in their particular
situations, the availability of an exemption therefrom, and the procedure for
obtaining such an exemption, both under current Treasury Regulations and the new
S-21
Treasury Regulations. Backup withholding is not a separate tax, but is allowed
as a refund or credit against the owner's United States federal income tax,
provided the necessary information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Interest on a note that is beneficially owned by a non-United States person
will be reported annually on IRS Form 1042-S, which must be filed with the
Internal Revenue Service and furnished to such beneficial owner.
The United States federal income tax discussion set forth above is included
for general information only and may not be applicable depending upon an owner's
particular situation. Owners should consult their own tax advisors with respect
to the tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of the notes,
including the tax consequences under state, local, foreign and other tax laws
and the possible effects of changes in federal or other tax laws.

UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions stated in the underwriting agreement,
each underwriter named below has severally agreed to purchase, and we have
agreed to sell to each underwriter, the principal amount of notes stated
opposite the name of each underwriter.

Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. are joint
book-running managers for our offering of notes.
The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to purchase the notes included in this offering are subject to
approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to certain other conditions.
The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the notes if they purchase any of
the notes.
The underwriters propose to offer some of the notes directly to the public
at the public offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus
supplement and some of the notes to certain dealers at the public offering price
less a concession not in excess of % of the aggregate principal amount of the
notes. The underwriters may allow, and these dealers may reallow, a concession
not in excess of % of the aggregate principal amount of the notes on sales to
certain other dealers. After the initial offering of the notes to the public,
the public offering price and these concessions may be changed by the
underwriters.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
notes in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment,
syndicate covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Over-allotment
involves syndicate sales of notes in excess of the principal amount of notes to
be purchased by the underwriters in the offering, which creates a syndicate
short position. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes
in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover
syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or
purchases of notes made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in
the market price of the notes while the offering is in progress.
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. Penalty bids permit the
underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when they,
in covering syndicate short positions or making stabilizing purchases,
repurchase notes originally sold by that syndicate member.
Any of these activities may cause the price of the notes to be higher than
the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of such
transactions. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market
or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
We estimate that the total expenses of this offering will be $ .
The underwriters and their affiliates have performed certain investment
banking and advisory and general financing and banking services for us from time
to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The
underwriters and their affiliates may, from time to time, be customers of,
engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course
of their business.
Lawrence A. Bossidy, Chairman of the Board and a director of Honeywell, is
also a director of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
is a subsidiary of J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated.
S-23
Hans W. Becherer, Andrew C. Sigler and John R. Stafford, directors of
Honeywell, are also directors of The Chase Manhattan Corporation and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, which are affiliates of Chase Securities Inc. The Chase
Manhattan Bank is the trustee under the indenture. Chase Manhattan Bank
Luxembourg S.A. is the Luxembourg paying agent and transfer agent for the notes.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to
payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any of those
liabilities.
The notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions in the United States,
Europe, Asia and elsewhere where it is lawful to make such offers.
Each of the underwriters has represented and agreed that it has not and will
not offer, sell or deliver any of the notes directly or indirectly, or
distribute this prospectus supplement or the prospectus or any other offering
material relating to the notes, in or from any jurisdiction except under
circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable laws and
regulations thereof and that will not impose any obligations on us except as set
forth in the underwriting agreement.
In particular, each underwriter has represented and agreed that:
It has not offered or sold and will not offer or sell any notes to persons
in the United Kingdom prior to the expiry of the period of six months from
the issue date of the notes except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments
(as principal or agent) for the purpose of their businesses or otherwise in
circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to
the public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of
Securities Regulations 1995.
It has only issued or passed on and will only issue or pass on in the
United Kingdom any document received by it in connection with the issue of
the notes to a person who is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the
Financial Services Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order
1996 (as amended) or is a person to whom such document may otherwise
lawfully be issued or passed on.
It has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the
Financial Services Act 1986 with respect to anything done by it in relation
to any notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
It will not offer or sell any notes directly or indirectly in Japan or to,
or for the benefit of any Japanese person or to others, for re-offering or
re-sale directly or indirectly in Japan or to any Japanese person except
under circumstances which will result in compliance with all applicable
laws, regulations and guidelines promulgated by the relevant governmental
and regulatory authorities in effect at the relevant time. For purposes of
this paragraph, 'Japanese person' shall mean any person resident in Japan,
including any corporation or other entity organized under the laws of
Japan.
Although application has been made to list the notes on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, the notes are a new issue of securities with no established trading
market. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading markets
for, the notes. Purchasers of the notes may be required to pay stamp taxes and
other charges in accordance with the laws and practices of the country of
purchase in addition to the issue prices set forth on the cover page hereof. We
have been advised by the underwriters for the notes that they intend to make a
market in the notes, but they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue
such market-making at any time without notice.
It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment
therefor on or about , 2000, which is the fifth business day following
the date of this prospectus supplement (such settlement cycle being referred to
in this prospectus supplement as 'T+5'). The ability to settle secondary market
trades of the notes effected on the date of pricing and the succeeding business
day may be affected by T+5.

fluids and waxes, washes and specialty cleaners (for example, Prestone'r'
and Simoniz'r');
brake friction materials, including disc brake pads and drum brake linings,
and aftermarket brake hard parts, used for a broad range of car, truck,
railway and aerospace applications worldwide; and

tractors, trailers, buses and other commercial vehicles sold through a
joint venture owned 65% by AlliedSignal and 35% by Knorr-Bremse AG of
Germany.
This segment accounted for approximately 16% of AlliedSignal's 1998 total sales.
COMBINATION WITH HONEYWELL INC.
On June 7, 1999, AlliedSignal and Honeywell announced that they had entered
into a merger agreement providing for the combination of the two companies.
Under this agreement, AlliedSignal will be renamed Honeywell International Inc.
at the effective time of the combination. When the combination is completed,
Honeywell shareowners will be entitled to receive 1.875 shares of Honeywell
International common stock for each share of Honeywell common stock plus cash in
lieu of any fractional shares. Blossom Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned
subsidiary of AlliedSignal, will merge with and into Honeywell at the effective
time of the combination, and Honeywell will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Honeywell International. The headquarters of Honeywell International will remain
in Morris Township, New Jersey at the current location of AlliedSignal's
headquarters.
The combination with Honeywell is subject to approval by both AlliedSignal
and Honeywell shareowners and by European Commission and U.S. antitrust
regulators, as well as to other customary conditions. We expect that the
combination will be completed during the fall of 1999.
Founded in 1885, Honeywell is one of the leading technology and controls
companies in the world, serving customers in homes, commercial buildings, the
industrial arena and space and aviation. Honeywell's home and building control
business is a global provider of comfortable, healthy, safe and energy-efficient
indoor environments, offering more than 3,500 products to both the consumer
market and the building industry. The industrial control business of Honeywell
is a worldwide leader in automation solutions from sensors to integrated
systems, serving industries such as hydrocarbon processing, chemicals and pulp
and paper. Honeywell's space and aviation control business is a leading supplier
of avionics systems and products for the commercial,
4
military and space markets with customers ranging from aircraft manufacturers
and business aircraft operators to prime space contractors and the U.S.
government.
For more information about the proposed combination with Honeywell, we refer
you to our joint proxy statement/prospectus dated July 23, 1999 that we filed
with the SEC (Registration No. 333-82049), a copy of which is available to you
upon request. See 'Where You Can Find More Information About AlliedSignal'. We
will provide updated information about the combination with Honeywell in the
prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The following table sets forth the historical ratios of earnings to fixed
charges and preferred stock dividends of AlliedSignal for the periods indicated:
SIX MONTHS
ENDED
JUNE 30, YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
- -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------
1999 1998 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994
- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
11.25 10.75 9.41 8.20 7.28 6.25 6.21
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is generally computed by dividing the
sum of net income, income taxes and fixed charges (net of capitalized interest)
less undistributed equity income by fixed charges. Fixed charges represent gross
interest and amortization of debt discount and expense and the interest factor
of all rentals, consisting of an appropriate interest factor on operating
leases.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net
proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus
and the accompanying prospectus supplement will be used for general corporate
purposes. General corporate purposes may include the repayment of debt,
investments in or extensions of credit to our subsidiaries, or the financing of
possible acquisitions or business expansion. The net proceeds may be invested
temporarily or applied to repay short-term debt until they are used for their
stated purpose.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth
certain general terms that may apply to the debt securities. The particular
terms of any debt securities will be described in the related prospectus
supplement.
GENERAL
Debt securities will be our unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities. They
will be issued under an indenture dated as of October 1, 1985, as amended by a
first supplemental indenture dated as of February 1, 1991 and a second
supplemental indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, between us and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as trustee.
The following summary of certain provisions of the indenture is not
complete. You should refer to the indenture (including the amendments to it)
which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part (Registration No. 333-86157). The indenture has been qualified under the
Trust Indenture Act. Section references below are to the section in the
indenture. The referenced sections of the indenture and the definitions of
capitalized terms in the indenture are incorporated by reference in this
prospectus.
The indenture does not limit the amount of debt that we may issue. The
indenture provides that debt securities may be issued thereunder up to the
principal amount authorized by us from time to time. We have issued
$1,609,760,000 principal amount of debt securities under our existing indenture
with The Chase Manhattan Bank as of the date of this prospectus.
5
The debt securities may be issued in one or more separate series. The
prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being
offered will specify the particular amounts, prices and terms of those debt
securities. These terms may include:
the title and type of the debt securities;
any limit on the aggregate principal amount or aggregate initial offering
price of the debt securities and the amount payable upon acceleration;
the purchase price of the debt securities;
the dates on which the principal of the debt securities will be payable;
the interest rates (including the interest rates, if any, applicable to
overdue payments) of the debt securities, or the method for determining
those rates, and the interest payment dates for the debt securities;
the places where payments may be made on the debt securities;
any mandatory or optional redemption provisions applicable to the debt
securities;
any sinking fund or analogous provisions applicable to the debt securities;
the authorized denominations of the debt securities, if other than $1,000
and integral multiples of $1,000;
if other than U.S. dollars, the currency, currencies or composite
currencies, in which purchase price and/or payments on the debt securities
will be payable (which currencies may be different for principal, premium
and interest payments);
any conversion or exchange provisions applicable to the debt securities;
any additional events of default applicable to the debt securities not set
forth in the indenture; and
any other specific terms of the debt securities.
Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt
securities. Original issue discount debt securities bear no interest or bear
interest at below-market rates and will be sold at a discount below their stated
principal amount. The prospectus supplement will also contain any special tax,
accounting or other information relating to original issue discount debt
securities or relating to certain other kinds of debt securities that may be
offered, including debt securities linked to an index or payable in currencies
other than U.S. dollars.
The debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without
coupons. The indenture also provides that debt securities of a series may be
issued as permanent global debt securities. See ' -- Permanent Global Debt
Securities' and 'Book-Entry Issuance' below. No service charge will be made for
any transfer or exchange of debt securities, but we may require payment of any
taxes or other governmental charges.
Principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities will be
payable at the corporate trust office of the trustee in New York City. Transfers
or exchanges of debt securities may be made at the same location. Payment of
interest on any debt securities may be made at our option by check mailed to the
registered holders of the debt securities at their registered addresses. In
connection with any payment on a debt security, we may require the holder to
certify information to us. In the absence of such certification, we may rely on
any legal presumption to determine whether we must deduct or withhold taxes,
assessments or governmental charges from a payment.
We may at any time repurchase debt securities at any price on the open
market or otherwise. We may in our discretion hold, resell or surrender to the
trustee for cancellation any debt securities that we acquire.

COVENANTS
The indenture does not limit our ability to enter into highly leveraged
transactions, nor does it provide special protection to holders of debt
securities in the event of such transactions. The indenture does not provide
special protection in the event of a sudden and dramatic decline in our credit
quality resulting from a takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring. In
addition, the indenture does not limit the amount of indebtedness incurred by
our subsidiaries. The covenants contained in the indenture are set forth below.
Limitation on Liens. In the indenture, we covenant not to issue, assume or
guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by liens on
any property located in the United States which is
-- in the opinion of our board of directors, a principal manufacturing
property, or
-- an oil, gas or mineral producing property, or
any shares of capital stock or indebtedness of any subsidiary owning such
property,
without equally and ratably securing the debt securities, subject to certain
exceptions specified in the indenture. These exceptions include:
existing liens on our property or liens on property of corporations at the
time such corporations become subsidiaries of or are merged with us;
liens existing on property when acquired, or incurred to finance the
purchase price thereof;
certain liens on property to secure the cost of exploration, drilling or
development of, or improvements on, such property;
certain liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental
entities; and
indebtedness secured by liens otherwise prohibited by such covenant not
exceeding 10% of the consolidated net tangible assets of AlliedSignal and
our consolidated subsidiaries (Sections 101 and 1005).
Transfers of oil, gas or other minerals in place for a period of time until the
transferee receives a specified amount of money or of such minerals or any other
transfers commonly referred to as 'production payments,' are outside the scope
of this covenant and are permitted without restriction.
Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. We also covenant not to
enter into any sale and lease-back transaction covering any property located in
the United States which is
in the opinion of our board of directors, a principal manufacturing
property, or
an oil, gas or mineral producing property,
unless:
we would be entitled under the provisions described under ' -- Limitation
on Liens' to incur debt equal to the value of such sale and lease-back
transaction, secured by liens on the property to be leased, without equally
securing the outstanding debt securities; or
we, during the four months following the effective date of such sale and
lease-back transaction, apply an amount equal to the value of such sale and
lease-back transaction to the voluntary retirement of long-term
indebtedness of AlliedSignal or our subsidiaries (Sections 101 and 1006).
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS
We may, without the consent of the holders of any debt securities,
consolidate or merge with any other person or transfer or lease all or
substantially all of our assets to another person or permit another corporation
to merge into AlliedSignal, provided that:
the successor is a person organized under U.S. law;
7
the successor person, if not AlliedSignal, assumes our obligations on the
debt securities and under the indenture;
after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, and no event
which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of
default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and
certain other conditions are met (Section 801A).
DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS
The indenture contains a provision that, if made applicable to any series of
debt securities, permits us to elect:
(1) to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations (except for
certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt
securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities, to
maintain paying agencies and to hold moneys for payment in trust) with
respect to any series of debt securities denominated and payable in U.S.
dollars then outstanding ('defeasance'); and/or
(2) to be released from our obligations under the covenants set forth in
Sections 1005 (limitation on liens) and 1006 (limitation on sale and
lease-back transactions) and from the consequences of an event of
default resulting from a breach of those covenants or a cross-default
('covenant defeasance') (Sections 403 and 1008).
To elect defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deposit in trust with
the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations (which are direct
obligations of the United States backed by its full faith and credit) which
through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms
will provide sufficient money, without reinvestment, to repay in full those debt
securities, including any sinking fund obligations (Section 101). As a condition
to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion
of counsel that the holders of the debt securities will not recognize income,
gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or
covenant defeasance. In the case of defeasance under clause (1) above, that
opinion must refer to and be based upon a ruling received by us from the
Internal Revenue Service or published as a revenue ruling or upon a change in
applicable Federal income tax law, and such defeasance may not result in any
series of debt securities, if it is listed for trading on the New York Stock
Exchange, being delisted.
Under Federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, defeasance
would likely be treated as a taxable exchange of debt securities for interests
in the defeasance trust. As a result, a holder would recognize gain or loss
equal to the difference between the holder's cost or other tax basis for the
debt securities and the value of the holder's proportionate interest in the
defeasance trust. That holder would thereafter be required to include in income
a proportionate share of the income, gain or loss, as the case may be, of the
defeasance trust. Under Federal income tax law as of the date of this
prospectus, covenant defeasance would ordinarily not be treated as a taxable
exchange of debt securities. Purchasers of debt securities should consult their
own advisors as to the tax consequences to them of defeasance and covenant
defeasance, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than the
Federal income tax law.
If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a particular
series of debt securities, then even if there were a default under the related
covenant, payment of those debt securities could not be accelerated. We may
exercise our defeasance option with respect to a particular series of debt
securities even if we previously had exercised our covenant defeasance option.
If we exercise our defeasance option, payment of those debt securities may not
be accelerated because of any event of default. If we exercise our defeasance
option or covenant defeasance option and an acceleration were to occur, the
realizable value at the acceleration date of the money and U.S. government
obligations in the defeasance trust could be less than the principal and
interest then due on those debt securities. This is because the required deposit
of money and/or U.S. government obligations in the defeasance trust is based
upon scheduled cash flows rather than market value, which will vary depending
upon interest rates and other factors.
8
MODIFICATION
We and the trustee may make modifications and amendments to the indenture
with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of each series of outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or
amendment. Without the consent of each affected holder, no modification may:
change the stated maturity of any debt securities;
reduce the principal amount of any debt securities;
reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or any premium of
any debt securities;
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or
after its due date; or
reduce the percentage of the principal amount of debt securities required
to approve any supplemental indenture or any waiver under the indenture
(Section 902).
We and the trustee may amend the indenture without the consent of the
holders of debt securities:
to reflect our merger with another person;
to replace the trustee;
to issue a new series of debt securities;
to effect modifications that do not adversely affect any outstanding series
of debt securities; and
for certain other purposes (Section 901).
Any modification of the indenture subordinating any series of debt
securities issued under it to any other indebtedness of AlliedSignal will not be
effective without each holder's consent.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; WAIVER
An event of default with respect to any series of debt securities will occur
under the indenture if:
we fail to pay principal of or any premium on the series, except for
principal due upon sinking fund redemptions;
we fail to pay any installment of interest on the series for a period of 30
days;
we fail to pay any sinking fund redemption on the series for a period of 30
days;
we fail to perform any other covenant in the indenture for 90 days after
notice;
we or a court take certain actions relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization of AlliedSignal for the benefit of our creditors; or
any other event of default specified with respect to debt securities of
that series as described in the applicable prospectus supplement occurs
(Section 501).
No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities
issued under the indenture necessarily constitutes an event of default with
respect to any other series of debt securities (Section 501).
On the occurrence of an event of default with respect to a series of debt
securities, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount at
maturity of such series of debt securities then outstanding may declare the
principal, or in the case of debt securities sold at an original issue discount,
the amount specified in the terms thereof, to be due and payable immediately
(Section 501).
Subject to certain conditions, the declaration described in the preceding
paragraph may be annulled and past defaults, except uncured payment defaults and
certain other specified defaults, may be waived by the holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount at
9
maturity of outstanding debt securities of the series affected by any event of
default (Sections 501, 502 and 507).
Upon payment of the principal amount in respect of an event of default on
any series of debt securities, together with any premium or interest due
thereon, all of our obligations in respect to payment of indebtedness on such
debt securities will terminate (Section 401).
The indenture requires the trustee to, within 90 days after the occurrence
of a default with respect to any outstanding series of debt securities, give the
holders of that series notice of the default if uncured. The trustee may
withhold this notice of default, except for default in the payment of principal
of or any premium or interest on, or of any sinking fund payment with respect
to, such series of debt securities, if it considers such withholding to be in
the interest of holders of debt securities (Section 508).
We are required annually to file with the trustee a certificate stating that
no default exists under the indenture, or specifying the nature and status of
any default (Section 1004).
Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of default, the trustee
is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities
unless such holders of debt securities shall have offered to the trustee
reasonable security or indemnity (Section 603). Subject to that provision for
security or indemnification, the holders of a majority in principal amount of
the debt securities of any series then outstanding will have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to, or exercising any trust or power conferred on, the trustee with respect to
the debt securities of that series (Section 504).
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE INDENTURE
We and some of our subsidiaries and affiliates maintain deposits with, and
conduct other banking transactions with, The Chase Manhattan Bank in the
ordinary course of business. These include:
The Chase Manhattan Bank is the trustee under the indenture under which our
Serial Zero Coupon Bonds Due through 2009 are outstanding.
The Chase Manhattan Bank is fiscal agent for our 8% Bonds Due May 15, 2006.
The Chase Manhattan Bank is a lender under one of our revolving credit
agreements with a group of banks. The Chase Manhattan Bank has a commitment
of $50 million under this revolving credit agreement.
PERMANENT GLOBAL DEBT SECURITIES
The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the
form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary
or its nominee identified in the related prospectus supplement (Section 203).
Unless otherwise indicated in the related prospectus supplement, any such
depositary will be DTC. Unless otherwise provided in the related prospectus
supplement, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole to the
depositary, a nominee of the depositary or their successors unless it is
exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in individually certificated
form. For a description of the depositary arrangements, see 'Book-Entry
Issuance'. Any additional terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to
any series of debt securities and the rights of and limitations on owners of
beneficial interests in a global security representing a series of debt
securities may be described in the related prospectus supplement.
BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE
Most series of debt securities will be book-entry securities. Upon issuance,
all book-entry securities of the same issue will be represented by one or more
fully registered global securities, without interest coupons. Each global
security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company
or 'DTC', a securities depository, and will be registered in the name of
10
DTC or a nominee of DTC. DTC will thus be the only registered holder of these
debt securities and will be considered the sole owner of the securities for
purposes of the indenture.
Purchasers may only hold interests in the global securities through DTC if
they are a participant in the DTC system. Purchasers may also hold interests
through a securities intermediary -- banks, brokerage houses and other
institutions that maintain securities accounts for customers -- that has an
account with DTC or its nominee. DTC will maintain accounts showing the
securities holdings of its participants, and these participants will in turn
maintain accounts showing the securities holdings of their customers. Some of
these customers may themselves be securities intermediaries holding debt
securities for their customers. Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry
security will hold that security indirectly through a hierarchy of
intermediaries, with DTC at the 'top' and the beneficial owner's own securities
intermediary at the 'bottom.'
The securities of each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will be
evidenced solely by entries on the books of the beneficial owner's securities
intermediary. The actual purchaser of the securities will generally not be
entitled to have the securities represented by the global securities registered
in its name and will not be considered the owner under the indenture. In most
cases, a beneficial owner will also not be able to obtain a paper certificate
evidencing the holder's ownership of securities. The book-entry system for
holding securities eliminates the need for physical movement of certificates.
The laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take
physical delivery of their securities in definitive form. These laws may impair
the ability to transfer book-entry securities.
Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement with respect to a
series of debt securities, a beneficial owner of book-entry securities
represented by a global security may exchange the securities for definitive or
paper securities only if:
DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such global
security and AlliedSignal is unable to find a qualified replacement for DTC
within 90 days;
at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
AlliedSignal in its sole discretion decides to allow some or all book-entry
securities to be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form.
Any global security that is exchangeable will be exchangeable in whole for
definitive securities in registered form, with the same terms and of an equal
aggregate principal amount, in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of
$1,000. Definitive notes will be registered in the name or names of the person
or persons specified by DTC in a written instruction to the registrar of the
securities. DTC may base its written instruction upon directions it receives
from its participants.
In this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement, for
book-entry securities, references to actions taken by security holders will mean
actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and references to
payments and notices of redemption to security holders will mean payments and
notices of redemption to DTC as the registered holder of the securities for
distribution to participants in accordance with DTC's procedures.
DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State
of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a 'clearing corporation'
within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a 'clearing
agency' registered under section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.
DTC's management is aware that some computer applications, systems, and the
like for processing data that are dependent upon calendar dates, including dates
before, on, and after January 1, 2000, may encounter 'Year 2000 problems.' DTC
has informed its participants and other members of the financial community that
it has developed and is implementing a program so that its systems, as they
relate to the timely payment of distributions to securityholders, book-entry
deliveries, and settlement of trades within DTC, continue to function
appropriately. This
11
program includes a technical assessment and a remediation plan, each of which is
complete. Additionally, DTC's plan includes a testing phase, which is expected
to be completed within appropriate time frames.
AlliedSignal will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of
the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership
interests in the book-entry securities or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the debt securities:
through underwriters,
through agents, or
directly to a limited number of institutional purchasers or to a single
purchaser.
The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the
debt securities, including the following:
the name or names of any underwriters;
the purchase price and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters'
compensation;
any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed
or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
any securities exchanges on which the debt securities of the series may be
listed.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the debt securities will be acquired
by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in
one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The debt
securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates
represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The
obligations of the underwriters to purchase debt securities will be subject to
conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the
debt securities of a series if any are purchased. Any initial public offering
price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers
may be changed from time to time.
Debt securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by
us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the debt
securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and
any commissions payable by us to that agent will be set forth, in the prospectus
supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent
will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types
of institutions to purchase debt securities from us at the public offering price
set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts.
These contracts will provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the
future. The conditions to these contracts and the commissions payable for
solicitation of such contracts will be set forth in the applicable prospectus
supplement.
Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against
civil liabilities arising out of this prospectus, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution with respect to payments which
the agents or underwriters may be required to make relating to those
liabilities.
Each series of debt securities will be a new issue of securities with no
established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in the debt
securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market
making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity
of the trading market for any debt securities.
12
Agents and underwriters may be engaged in transactions with, or perform
commercial or investment banking or other services for, us or our subsidiaries
or affiliates, in the ordinary course of business.
We estimate that our expenses associated with this offering will be
approximately $0.8 million, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.
EXPERTS
The audited financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by
reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998
have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of that firm as experts in
auditing and accounting.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of
AlliedSignal for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 incorporated by
reference in this prospectus, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have
applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a
review of such information. However, their separate reports dated May 13, 1999
and August 11, 1999 incorporated by reference in this prospectus, state that
they did not audit and did not express an opinion on that unaudited consolidated
financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on
such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the
review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the
liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the
unaudited consolidated financial information because that report is not a
'report' or a 'part' of the registration statement prepared or certified by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the
Securities Act.
LEGAL OPINIONS
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for AlliedSignal by J. Edward
Smith, Assistant General Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of AlliedSignal, and
for any underwriters by Cravath, Swaine & Moore, New York, New York. Mr. Smith
beneficially owns shares of AlliedSignal common stock and has options to acquire
additional shares of AlliedSignal common stock granted under option plans of
AlliedSignal.
In the opinions described above, certain assumptions will be made regarding
future action required to be taken by AlliedSignal and others in connection with
the issuance and sale of any particular offered debt securities, the specific
terms of those offered debt securities and other matters which may affect the
validity of those offered debt securities but which cannot be ascertained on the
date of the relevant opinion.
