        Certain Information from the Company's Registration Statement on
                   Form S-4, as amended (Reg. No. 333-49527)

     In addition to the fees paid to Morgan Stanley, EVI also has agreed to pay
certain fees to Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("First Boston"),
Jefferies & Company, Inc. ("Jefferies") and Lehman Brothers for the assistance
rendered by such firms in connection with the Merger. Pursuant to agreements
with such firms, upon consummation of the Merger, EVI has agreed to pay $3
million, $3 million and $1 million to Lehman Brothers, Jefferies and First
Boston, respectively. Lehman Holdings, an affiliate of Lehman Brothers, owns
3,598,832 shares of Common Stock (approximately 7.5% of the shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of
 
                                       32

April 22, 1998). Additionally, Energy International, N.V., an investment fund
that is co-managed by an affiliate of Lehman Brothers, is the beneficial owner
of 104,352 shares of Weatherford Common Stock and, upon consummation of Merger,
will be entitled to receive 99,135 shares of EVI Common Stock. David J. Butters
and Robert B. Millard, who are employees of Lehman Brothers, constitute two of
the seven members of EVI's current Board of Directors, and Mr. Butters is the
current Chairman of the EVI Board. Sheldon B. Lubar, a member of EVI's current
Board of Directors and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Christiana, is a
member of the board of directors of Jefferies. Additionally, each of Messrs.
Butters, Lubar and Millard has been selected to be members of the EVI Board
following the Merger. See "Management -- Directors of EVI Following the Merger".

VOTING AGREEMENTS
 
     As a condition to EVI's agreement to enter into the Merger Agreement, the
First Reserve Entities and Messrs. Hill and Macaulay executed a voting agreement
(the "First Reserve Voting Agreement") with respect to the approval of the
Merger and the Merger Agreement. No consideration was received by the First
Reserve Entities or Messrs. Hill or Macaulay for their execution of the First
Reserve Voting Agreement other than as an inducement to EVI to enter into the
Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the First Reserve Voting Agreement, the First
Reserve Entities and Messrs. Hill and Macaulay have agreed to vote an aggregate
of 6,585,968 shares (approximately 12.8%) of Weatherford Common Stock held by
them in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement at the Weatherford Special
Meeting, unless the Weatherford Board is recommending, at the time of such
meeting, that the stockholders of Weatherford vote against such adoption in view
of the pendency of a superior proposal as provided in the Merger Agreement. Mr.
Hill is the Chairman of First Reserve Corporation and is a current director of
Weatherford and Mr. Macaulay is the President and Chief Executive Officer of
First Reserve Corporation and is a current director of Weatherford, and a
proposed director of EVI following the Merger. See "-- Interests of Certain
Persons in the Merger -- Directors of EVI Following the Merger" and
"Management -- Directors of EVI Following the Merger".
 
     Pursuant to the First Reserve Voting Agreement, the First Reserve Entities
and Messrs. Hill and Macaulay additionally each agreed that they will not: (i)
directly or indirectly (a) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any
takeover proposal with respect to Weatherford, (b) enter into any agreement with
respect to a takeover proposal with respect to Weatherford or (c) participate in
any discussion or negotiation regarding, or furnish to any person any
information with respect to, the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may
reasonably be expected to lead to, any takeover proposal with respect to
Weatherford; provided that the foregoing clause (c) will not prohibit any of
their affiliates who serve as a director of Weatherford from acting, subject to
the Merger Agreement, solely in his capacity as a director of Weatherford; or
(ii) sell, contract to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any voting
securities of Weatherford over which they have dispositive power; provided,
however, First Reserve Secured Energy Assets Fund, Limited Partnership, was
permitted to dispose of its 650,000 shares of Weatherford Common Stock pursuant
to a preexisting obligation to liquidate that partnership prior to June 30,
1998, subject to approval by EVI. As of April 23, 1998, First Reserve Secured
Energy Assets Fund, Limited Partnership had disposed of 484,000 of such shares.
Additionally, each of the parties agreed that, upon consummation of the Merger,
all stockholder agreements with Weatherford, including the Agreement dated as of
June 23, 1995, as amended (the "First Reserve Agreement"), among Weatherford
International Incorporated and American Gas & Oil Investors, L.P., AMGO II,
L.P., AMGO III, L.P., First Reserve Secured Energy Assets Fund, Limited
Partnership, First Reserve Fund V, L.P., First Reserve Fund V-2, L.P., First
Reserve Fund VI, L.P., First Reserve Corporation, William E. Macaulay and John
A. Hill, would be terminated and that the First Reserve Entities and Messrs.
Hill and Macaulay would have no further rights thereunder.
 
     As a result of the First Reserve Voting Agreement, approval of the Merger
will only require the approval of the holders of approximately an additional
37.2% of the outstanding shares of Weatherford Common Stock as of the Record
Date.

     As a condition to Weatherford's agreement to enter into the Merger
Agreement, Weatherford required each of Christiana and Lehman Holdings to
execute a voting agreement with respect to the approval of the Merger and the
Merger Agreement. No consideration was received by either of Christiana or
Lehman Holdings for their execution of the voting agreements other than as an
inducement to Weatherford to enter into the Merger Agreement. As a result,
Christiana and Lehman Holdings have agreed to vote 3,897,462 and 3,598,832
shares, respectively, or an aggregate of 7,496,294 shares (approximately 15.7%),
of EVI Common Stock in favor of the Merger at the EVI Special Meeting, unless
the EVI Board is recommending, at the time of such meeting, that the
stockholders of EVI vote against such adoption in view of the pendency of a
superior proposal as provided in the Merger Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to
such voting agreements, each of Christiana and Lehman agreed not to directly or
indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any Preclusive
Transaction, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to a Preclusive
Transaction or (iii) participate in any discussion or negotiation regarding, or
furnish to any person any information with respect to, the making of any
proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Preclusive Transaction; provided that the foregoing clause (iii) shall not
prohibit any affiliate of Christiana or Lehman Holdings who serves as a director
of EVI from acting, subject to the Merger Agreement, solely in his capacity as a
director of EVI. The Voting Agreement with Christiana does not prohibit
Christiana from being acquired by EVI pursuant to a merger in which a number of
shares of EVI Common Stock approximating the number of shares of EVI Common
Stock currently held by Christiana would be issued to the Christiana
stockholders as partial consideration for EVI's acquisition of Christiana.
 
     As a result of such voting agreements, approval of the Merger will only
require the approval of the holders of approximately an additional 34.3% of the
outstanding shares of EVI Common Stock as of the Record Date.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER
 
     In considering the recommendation of the Weatherford Board with respect to
the Merger, Weatherford's stockholders should be aware that certain members of
the Weatherford Board and certain officers of Weatherford have certain interests
respecting the Merger separate from their interests as holders of Weatherford
Common Stock, including those referred to below. In addition, Merrill Lynch and
Simmons, Weatherford's financial advisors, will receive additional compensation
if the Merger is effected. See "Opinions of Financial Advisors".
 
     Weatherford Stock Options and Awards. There are currently outstanding
options to purchase an aggregate of 1,437,259 shares of Weatherford Common Stock
(equivalent to 1,365,396 shares of EVI Common Stock). The Merger will constitute
a "change of control" under Weatherford's stock option plans and all Weatherford
Options, except for those stock options granted on or after March 4, 1998 and an
option granted to a former employee, will become fully vested and immediately
exercisable as of the Effective Time. As of April 15, 1998, Messrs. Bates,
Burke, Nicholson, Nolen and Stilley and Ms. Thomas held unvested options to
purchase 150,000, 10,667, 5,167, 7,334, 20,000 and 7,334 shares of Weatherford
Common Stock, respectively, that will become fully vested and exercisable as a
result of the Merger. The value of these unvested options, based on the
difference between the exercise price and the closing sale price per share of
Weatherford Common Stock on April 15, 1998, is $1,743,750, $122,836, $59,618,
$84,299, $11,240 and $84,299 for Messrs. Bates, Burke, Nicholson, Nolen and
Stilley and Ms. Thomas, respectively. Also, unvested options to purchase 55,000,
12,000, 6,000, 8,000, 12,000 and 8,000 shares of Weatherford Common Stock
granted on March 16, 1998 to Messrs. Bates, Burke, Nicholson, Nolen and Stilley
and Ms. Thomas,
 
                                       52
   7
 
respectively, will become vested if the employment of any of such persons is
terminated by EVI without cause or by any of such persons for good reason within
three years following the Merger. The value of these unvested options, based on
the difference between the exercise price and the closing sale price of the
Weatherford Common Stock on April 15, 1998, is $201,080, $43,872, $21,936,
$29,248, $43,872 and $29,248, respectively.
 
     The Merger also will constitute a "change of control" under Weatherford's
Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the "Weatherford Restricted Stock Plan") and
ownership restrictions on all shares of Weatherford Common Stock granted
pursuant to such plan, except for those shares granted on or after March 4,
1998, will terminate as of the Effective Time. As of April 15, 1998, Messrs.
Bates, Burke, Nicholson and Nolen and Ms. Thomas held 65,041, 3,125, 1,125,
2,625 and 2,625 shares of Weatherford Common Stock subject to ownership
restrictions that will terminate as of the Effective Time. The value of these
shares, based on the closing sale price per share of Weatherford Common Stock on
April 15, 1998 is $2,756,113, $132,422, $47,672, $111,235 and $111,235,
respectively. Additionally, ownership restrictions on 20,000, 5,000, 3,000,
5,000 and 4,000 shares of Weatherford Common Stock granted to Messrs. Bates,
Burke, Nicholson and Stilley and Ms. Thomas, respectively, pursuant to such plan
on March 16, 1998 will terminate if the employment of such person is terminated
by EVI without cause or by any of such persons for good reason within three
years following the Merger. The value of these shares, based on the closing sale
price per share of Weatherford Common Stock on April 15, 1998, is $847,500,
$211,875, $127,125, $211,875 and $169,500, respectively. As of April 15, 1998,
each of Messrs. Edelman, Greehey, Hill, Johnson, Macaulay, Moses and Widmann
held 909 shares, and Mr. Amonett held 1,290 shares, of Weatherford Common Stock
subject to ownership restrictions that will terminate as of the Effective Time.
The value of these shares, based on the closing sales price per share of
Weatherford Common Stock on April 15, 1998 is $38,519 and $54,664, respectively.
 
     It is currently expected that Messrs. Bates, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas
will not continue to be employed in their current capacities with EVI following
the Merger and will therefore be entitled to the vesting of the options and
restricted stock described above following the Merger.
 
     EVI Employee Stock Options and Awards. There are currently outstanding
unvested options to purchase an aggregate of 536,900 shares of EVI Common Stock.
The Merger will constitute a "change of control" under EVI's employee stock
option plans and all EVI employee stock options will become fully vested and
immediately exercisable as of the Effective Time. As of April 15, 1998, Messrs.
Duroc-Danner, Kiley, Coble and Stiles and Ms. Powell held unvested options to
purchase 280,000, 117,500, 70,400, 45,000 and 24,000 shares of EVI Common Stock,
respectively, that will become fully vested and exercisable as a result of the
Merger. The value of these unvested options, based on the difference between the
exercise price and the EVI Common Stock on April 15, 1998, is $8,608,125,
$3,450,313, $2,067,525, $815,625 and $435,000 for Messrs. Duroc-Danner, Kiley,
Coble and Stiles and Ms. Powell, respectively.
 
     Indemnification. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, EVI agreed that all
rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective
Time in favor of the current or former directors or officers of Weatherford and
its subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation
or by-laws and indemnity agreements will survive the Merger, and EVI, as the
surviving corporation, shall continue such indemnification rights in full force
and effect in accordance with their terms as an obligation of EVI. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, EVI also agreed to use its reasonable best
efforts to purchase directors and officers insurance for the benefit of
Weatherford directors and officers for period of six years at a cost not to
exceed $1 million in aggregate. See "Terms of the Merger -- Indemnification".
 
     Change of Control Agreements. Weatherford has entered into change of
control agreements with 10 of its executives ("Executive Change of Control
Agreements") and 36 of its key employees ("Key Employee Change of Control
Agreements"). These agreements give the executives and key employees certain
benefits in the event of a change of control (as defined therein) of Weatherford
(a "Weatherford Change of Control") and certain additional benefits if that
person is subsequently terminated other than for "cause" (as defined therein),
or elects to terminate his or her employment for "good reason" (as defined
therein), within a certain amount of time after a Weatherford Change of Control.
The Merger will constitute a Weatherford Change of Control.

     Executive Change of Control Agreements. The Executive Change of Control
Agreements provide that, in the event of a Weatherford Change of Control, the
following provisions will apply: (i) the executive's base salary will not
decrease unless there is a company-wide salary reduction; (ii) the executive's
annual bonus may not be less than the highest bonus paid to him or her in the
three years immediately preceding the Weatherford Change of Control; (iii) the
executive will be entitled to the most favorable incentive, savings, retirement
and welfare plans, expense reimbursement, fringe benefits and vacation policies
in effect 120 days prior to the Weatherford Change of Control and at anytime
thereafter; (iv) if Weatherford is not the surviving corporation in a
Weatherford Change of Control, the surviving corporation must issue
substantially similar options and stock appreciation rights in replacement of
any Weatherford options or stock appreciation rights held by the executive; (v)
the executive's job title and responsibilities may not be materially reduced and
(vi) the executive cannot be forced to move more than 35 miles.
 
     If the executive is terminated other than for cause ("Executive Cause") or
if the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason ("Executive
Good Reason"), in either case within two or three years after the Weatherford
Change of Control, depending on the terms of each executive's contract, the
executive will be entitled to the following: (i) salary plus pro rata bonus owed
through date of termination; (ii) two or three times annual salary and bonus,
depending on the term of the contract; (iii) all amounts that would otherwise
have been owed to that executive under all retirement and savings plans during
the next two or three years, depending on the term of the contract; (iv) welfare
plan coverage for two or three years, depending on the contract term (if the
executive pays the required premium); (v) outplacement services; (vi) at the
executive's option, to be exercised within 60 days after termination, payment of
the unrecognized appreciation on all outstanding options and stock appreciation
rights within 30 days after the date of the executive's election (regardless of
whether vested at termination), unless to do so would cause a transaction
otherwise eligible for pooling of interests accounting treatment under
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 to be ineligible for such treatment,
in which case the executive would receive shares of EVI Common Stock equal in
value to the cash he or she would have received, or all outstanding options and
stock appreciation rights vest upon, and survive and will be exercisable for,
seven months after termination; (vii) ownership restrictions remaining on any
shares granted under the Weatherford Restricted Stock Plan will terminate;
(viii) all club memberships will be transferred to the executive; (ix) the
executive's company car will be transferred to him or her, if applicable, or the
executive will be paid two or three times his or her annual car allowance,
depending on the term of the contract; (x) all benefits under all retirement and
savings plans will vest; and (xi) in the event any such payments trigger excise
taxes, the amounts paid will be grossed up to pay this obligation of the
executive.
 
     "Executive Cause" is defined as willful and continued failure of the
executive to perform his or her job, after written demand is made by the Chief
Executive Officer or the Board of Directors, or the executive's willful
engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct.
 
     "Executive Good Reason" is defined as (i) a material reduction in title
and/or responsibilities of executive, (ii) a required move of more than 35 miles
or (iii) any material reductions in benefits.
 
     The following executives of Weatherford are parties to Executive Change of
Control Agreements: Thomas R. Bates, Jr., James R. Burke, Jon Nicholson, Norman
W. Nolen, Randall P. Stilley, H. Suzanne Thomas, James D. Green, Weldon D.
Walker, Philip D. Gardner and F. Thomas Tilton. If the employment arrangements
with Messrs. Bates, Burke, Nicholson, Nolen, Stilley, Green, Walker, Gardner and
Tilton and Ms. Thomas were to be terminated by EVI for reason other than for
Executive Cause or by the executive for Executive Good Reason, such persons
would be entitled to receive cash and other benefits in an amount of
approximately $3,800,056, $1,826,984, $1,018,818, $1,391,478, $1,064,063,
$568,638, $500,040, $527,503, $535,857 and $1,404,171, respectively. These
payments include the estimated fair value of various benefits to which the
executives would be entitled to receive and do not include any gross-up payments
for excise taxes that might be payable by the executive. It is currently
contemplated that Messrs. Bates, Burke and Nolen and Ms. Thomas will not
continue to be employed in their current capacities with EVI following the
Merger and will therefore receive the foregoing payments. Although EVI and
Weatherford do not believe that any of the payments under the Executive Change
of Control Agreements will be subject to excise taxes under the Code because the
Weatherford stockholders will own more than 50% of the outstanding shares of EVI
Common
 
                                       54
   9
 
Stock after the Merger, if any excise taxes were to be triggered as a result of
the Merger, EVI could be required to make gross-up payments to the above named
individuals aggregating approximately $5.1 million.
 
     Key Employee Change of Control Agreements. The Key Employee Change of
Control Agreements provide that, in the event of a Weatherford Change of
Control, the following provisions will apply: (i) the key employee's base salary
will not decrease unless there is a company-wide salary reduction; (ii) the key
employee will be eligible for an annual bonus under the incentive plan
applicable to other peer key employees; (iii) if the key employee is located in
the U.S., he or she will be eligible for incentive, savings, retirement and
welfare plans and expense reimbursement; (iv) a company car or car allowance
applicable to other peer key employees; (v) if Weatherford is not the surviving
entity in a Weatherford Change of Control, the surviving corporation must issue
substantially similar options in replacement of any Weatherford options held by
the key employee; and (vi) the key employee's responsibilities may not be
materially reduced.
 
     If the key employee is terminated for other than cause ("Key Employee
Cause") or if the key employee terminates his or her employment for good reason
("Key Employee Good Reason") within one or two years after the Weatherford
Change of Control, depending on the terms of the contract, the key employee will
be entitled to the following benefits: (i) salary plus pro rata bonus through
date of termination; (ii) one or two times annual salary and bonus, depending on
the term of the contract; (iii) if the key employee is located in the U.S., all
amounts that would otherwise have been owed under retirement and savings plans
during the next one or two years, depending on the term of the contract; (iv)
welfare plan coverage for the next one or two years, depending on the term of
the contract (if the key employee pays the required premium); (v) all
outstanding options vest upon, and survive and will be exercisable for, seven
months after termination; (vi) if the key employee is located in the U.S. and
has a company car or receives a car allowance, the car will be transferred to
the key employee or he or she will be paid one or two times the annual car
allowance, depending on the term of the contract; and (vii) if the key employee
is located in the U.S., all benefits under retirement and savings plans will
become vested; provided, however, that if the aggregate of all such payments
would result in the occurrence of excise taxes, then the payments shall be
reduced to an amount that will not give rise to such excise taxes.
 
     "Key Employee Cause" is defined as continued failure of the key employee to
perform his or her job after written notice from the employer, engaging in
illegal conduct or misconduct, conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude,
misappropriation of funds, disparagement of Weatherford and its management or
other cause determined by the Weatherford Board.
 
     "Key Employee Good Reason" is defined as a material reduction in
responsibilities or benefits.
 
     Weatherford Employment Agreements. Weatherford has entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Bates, which will expire on May 31, 2002, unless
earlier terminated in accordance therewith. If Mr. Bates is terminated during
the term of his employment agreement by Weatherford for any reason other than
cause or by Mr. Bates for good reason (including any material change in his
responsibilities), he is entitled under the terms of his employment agreement to
a lump sum severance payment of approximately $2,586,000, assuming termination
during 1998. If Mr. Bates' employment is terminated after a change of control
under his employment agreement, then Mr. Bates may elect to receive benefits
either under the employment agreement or under his Executive Change of Control
Agreement, but not both. Because Mr. Bates is not expected to continue
employment with EVI following the Merger, he will be entitled to such severance
payment. However, because the severance payments under his employment agreement
would be less than the payments under his Executive Change of Control Agreement,
it is expected that Mr. Bates will elect to receive the higher payment.
 
     Weatherford also has entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Burguieres, which will expire on October 16, 2001. If this employment agreement
is terminated by Weatherford or by Mr. Burguieres, at his option, following a
change of control under this agreement, Mr. Burguieres will receive a lump sum
of $1,012,500 (assuming termination on approximately May 27, 1998) and all
ownership restrictions on 5,250 shares previously granted to Mr. Burguieres
under the Weatherford Restricted Stock Plan will terminate. The value of the
shares, based on the closing sale price per share of Weatherford Common Stock on
April 15, 1998, is $222,469.
 
                                       55

     EVI Employment Agreements. EVI has entered into employment agreements (each
an "Employment Agreement") with each of Bernard J. Duroc-Danner, James G. Kiley,
John C. Coble, Robert Stiles, Curtis W. Huff and Frances R. Powell. Each of the
Employment Agreements provides for a term of three years and is renewable
annually. Under the terms of the Employment Agreements, if the executive's
employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than "cause" or
"disability" or by the executive for "good reason", in each case as such terms
are defined in the Employment Agreements, the executive will be entitled to
receive (i) an amount equal to three times the executive's current base
compensation plus the highest bonus paid to the executive during the three years
preceding the year of termination, (ii) any accrued salary or bonus (pro rated
to the date of termination), (iii) an amount equal to the amount that would be
payable if all retirement plans were vested, (iv) an amount equal to the amount
that would have been contributed as EVI's match under its 401(k) savings plan
and its Executive Deferred Compensation Stock Ownership Plan for three years and
(v) an amount equal to the amount the executive would have received as a car
allowance for three years. Under the EVI employment agreements, "cause" is
defined as the willful and continued failure to perform the executive's job,
after written demand is made by the Chief Executive Officer or the EVI Board, or
the willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct. Termination by
the executive for "good reason" is generally defined as (i) a material reduction
in title and/or responsibilities of the executive, (ii) certain relocations of
the executive or (iii) any material reduction in the executive's benefits. In
addition, under such circumstances, all stock options and restricted stock
granted to the executive will automatically vest. Further, with respect to
options, the executive would have the right to either exercise such options for
one year after his or her date of termination or to surrender for such cash all
such options unless to do so would cause a transaction otherwise eligible for
pooling of interests accounting treatment under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 16 to be ineligible for such treatment, in which case the executive
would receive shares of EVI Common Stock equal in value to the cash he or she
would have received. All health and medical benefits would also be maintained
after termination for a period of three years provided the executive makes his
or her required contribution. Under the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, certain
severance payments that exceed a certain amount could subject both EVI and the
executive to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. Each of the
Employment Agreements provides that EVI would be required to pay the executive a
"gross up payment" to insure that the executive receives the total benefit
intended by the Employment Agreement. In addition, in connection with the
retention of Mr. Huff as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of
EVI, EVI has agreed to grant to Mr. Huff a sign-on incentive bonus of 75,000
shares of restricted EVI Common Stock subject to four year vesting on the basis
of 25% per year and options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of EVI
Common Stock at the per share market price of the EVI Common Stock on the date
of his employment, which is expected to be in June 1998, subject to vesting over
a three year period on the basis of one-third per year. The base compensation
payable to Messrs. Duroc-Danner, Kiley, Coble, Stiles and Huff and Ms. Powell
under the Employment Agreements are $550,000, $275,000, $300,000, $270,000,

    within 60 days.
 
(2) Based upon information contained in Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D/A dated
    March 4, 1998, filed with the Commission by First Reserve Corporation

    the First Reserve Funds, has the power to cause each First Reserve Fund to
    dispose of or vote shares of Common Stock held by such First Reserve Fund.
    Also includes 33,935 shares owned directly by First Reserve. The principal
    beneficial owners of the common stock of First Reserve are its executive
    officers, including Mr. Hill, Chairman of the Board of First Reserve, and
    Mr. Macaulay, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Reserve, each
    of whom is also a director of Weatherford. First Reserve, the First Reserve
    Funds and Messrs. Macaulay and Hill are parties to the First Reserve
    Agreement under which First Reserve and the First Reserve Funds are entitled
    to collectively elect up to two directors depending on their percentage of
    ownership of the Weatherford Common Stock. Upon the consummation of the
    Merger, the First Reserve Agreement will terminate and the parties thereto
    will have no further rights under such agreement. Subsequent to the Record
    Date, pursuant to an existing obligation to liquidate First Reserve Secured
    Energy Asset Fund, Limited Partnership prior to June 30, 1998, such
    partnership disposed of 484,000 shares of Weatherford Common Stock and may
    dispose of up to an additional 166,000 shares subject to approval by EVI.
