ALLIEDSIGNAL INC.
AlliedSignal is an advanced technology and manufacturing
company serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and
services, automotive products, chemicals, fibers, plastics and
advanced materials. AlliedSignal is organized into eleven
strategic business units reporting results of operations in the
following five business segments: Aerospace Systems, Specialty
Chemicals & Electronic Solutions, Turbine Technologies,
Performance Polymers and Transportation Products.
AlliedSignal is a Delaware corporation with its principal
executive offices located at 101 Columbia Road, Morris Township,
NJ 07962. Our telephone number is (973) 455-2000.
RISK FACTORS
A LARGE DECLINE IN THE AEROSPACE MARKET COULD HAVE A
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR REVENUES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, GIVEN
THAT A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF OUR SALES ARE TO AEROSPACE
CUSTOMERS.
In 1998, approximately half of our sales were to aerospace
customers, including sales of aircraft engines and components
through our Turbine Technologies business unit. Approximately
17% of our 1998 sales were to original equipment aerospace
manufacturers. If there were a large decline in sales of aircraft
that use our components, our sales revenue and results of
operation could be negatively impacted. In addition,
approximately 25% of our 1998 sales were to aftermarket customers
of aerospace products and services. If there were a large decline
in number of flight hours for aircraft that use our components or
services, our sales revenue and results of operation could be
negatively impacted.
THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF
OUR PROPOSED MERGER WITH HONEYWELL INC. IS NOT COMPLETED.
On June 4, 1999, AlliedSignal and Honeywell signed a merger
agreement pursuant to which Honeywell is to merge with one of our
wholly-owned subsidiaries. At the effective time of the merger,
AlliedSignal will change its name to "Honeywell International
Inc."
We expect that the merger will provide us with significant
cost savings and sales enhancements. In addition, Michael R.
Bonsignore, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Honeywell, is to become Chief Executive Officer of the combined
company at the effective time of the merger, and Mr. Bonsignore
is to become Chairman of the Board of the combined company on
April 1, 2000, or upon the earlier retirement of Lawrence A.
Bossidy, our current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer.
The merger is subject to numerous conditions, including:
- approval of the proposed merger by AlliedSignal's and
Honeywell's shareowners;
- expiration or termination of the relevant waiting period
under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act;
- receipt of all material regulatory approvals that are
required to complete the merger, including the approval of the
European Commission;
- AlliedSignal's and Honeywell's independent public
accountants confirming that the merger will qualify for pooling
of interest method of accounting;
3
- AlliedSignal's and Honeywell's attorneys having issued
opinions that the proposed merger will qualify as a
reorganization;
- there being no legal proceeding existing in which a
governmental agency is seeking to require the combined company to
divest assets or to limit its ability to conduct business to an
extent that could be reasonably expected to have a material
adverse effect on the combined company; and
- there being no law or court order in effect that would be
reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the
combined company.
If we cannot complete the merger because of a failure to
meet any of these conditions, the price of our common stock may
decline.
The price of our common stock may be adversely affected if
the cost savings and sales enhancements expected as a result of
our integration with Honeywell are not realized.
We expect that our integration with Honeywell following the
proposed merger will provide us with significant cost savings and
enhanced sales. However, our success in realizing these cost
savings and sales enhancements, and the timing of this
realization, depends on the quality and speed of the integration
of the two companies. We and Honeywell have already established
an integration team that has identified specific areas for cost
savings and is continuing to plan the integration of our two
companies. However, we may not realize the cost savings and sales
enhancements that we anticipate from integrating our operations
following the 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 organizations;
- errors in our planning or integration;
- unexpected events such as major changes in the markets in
which we operate; and
- conditions regulatory authorities may impose on us in
connection with granting approval of the merger, such as
divestiture of product lines.
If we do not realize the cost savings and sales enhancements
that we anticipate from integrating our operations following the
completion of the merger as fully or as quickly as we expect, the
price of our common stock may decline.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to
issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30,
1999, we had issued 716,457,484 shares of common stock (including
166,236,824 shares held in treasury) and had reserved
approximately 59,175,153 shares of common stock for issuance
under various employee or director incentive, compensation and
option plans.
The Bank of New York is the transfer agent and registrar for
the common stock. Shares of common stock are listed on the New
York, Chicago and Pacific stock exchanges and trade under the
symbol "ALD".
The following summary is not complete. You should refer to
the applicable provisions of AlliedSignal's Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (its "charter") and by-laws and to the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") for a complete statement of
the terms and rights of the common stock.
Dividends. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out
of funds legally available for their payment (subject to the
rights of holders of any preferred stock).
Voting Rights. A holder of common stock is entitled to one
vote per share. Subject to the rights of the holders of any
preferred stock pursuant to applicable law or the provision of
the certificate of designations creating that series, all voting
rights are vested in the holders of common stock. Holders of
shares of common stock have noncumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for
the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors.
Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of our voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders
of common stock will be entitled to share equally in any of our
assets available for distribution after the payment in full of
all debts and distributions and after the holders of any
outstanding preferred stock have received their liquidation
preferences in full.
Other Rights. The issued and outstanding shares of common
stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of common stock
are not entitled to preemptive rights. Shares of common stock are
not convertible into shares of any other class of capital stock.
If we merge or consolidate with or into another company and as a
result our common stock is converted into or exchangeable for
other securities or property (including cash), all holders of
common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount
of such consideration for each share of common stock.
6
Possible Anti-Takeover Provisions. AlliedSignal's charter
and by-laws provide:
- for a board of directors that is divided into three
classes as nearly equal in number as is possible, with the
term of one class expiring at the annual meeting in each
year;
- that the board of directors may establish the number of
seats on the board, subject to the right of preferred
stock holders to elect directors in certain circumstances
and shareowners' rights to set the number of seats upon
the vote of holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of
common stock;
- that vacancies on the board of directors other than at
the annual meeting are filled by a vote of the remaining
directors;
- that special meetings of shareowners generally may be
called only by the Chief Executive Officer or by a
majority of the authorized number of directors;
- that action may be taken by shareowners only at annual or
special meetings and not by written consent;
- that advance notice must be given to AlliedSignal for a
shareowner to nominate directors for election at a
shareowner meeting;
- that the following actions require approval by holders of
80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote:
- The removal for cause of directors at other than the
expiration of their terms.
- The amendment or repeal of AlliedSignal's charter
and/or by-law provisions relating to the classified
board or directors, the number of seats on the board
of directors, the filling of board vacancies,
removal of directors for cause, calling of special
meetings of shareowners, prohibition of shareowner
action by written consent and amendment or repeal of
provisions requiring an 80% vote of shareowners.
Any of these provisions could delay, deter or prevent a
tender offer or takeover attempt of AlliedSignal.
Our charter permits us to issue up to 20 million shares of
preferred stock with terms set by our board of directors or a
committee of the board. Such preferred stock could have terms
that could delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover
attempt of AlliedSignal.
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, an acquirer of 15% or more of
our shares of stock must wait three years before a business
combination with us unless one of the following exceptions is
available:
- approval by our board of directors prior to the time the
acquirer became a 15% shareowner of AlliedSignal;
- acquisition of at least 85% of our voting stock in the
transaction in which the acquirer became a 15% shareowner of
AlliedSignal; or
- approval of the business combination by our board of
directors and at least two-thirds of our disinterested
shareowners.

MANNER OF OFFERING
The shares of offered common stock may be sold from time to
time by the selling stockholders, or by pledgees, donees,
transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may be
made on one or more stock exchanges or in the over-the-counter
market or otherwise. Such sales may be made at prices and at
terms then prevailing on such markets or at prices related to the
then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The
shares of offered common stock may be sold in one or more of the
following:
- a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will
attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and
resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by
such broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this
prospectus;
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of
such exchange; and
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which
the broker solicits purchasers.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling
stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate
in resales.
In connection with distribution of the shares of offered
common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter
into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with
such transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of
shares of common stock in the course of hedging the positions
they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling
stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and
deliver shares of offered common stock to close out such short
positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or
other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery
to the broker-dealer of shares of offered common stock, which the
broker-dealer may resell or otherwise transfer pursuant to this
prospectus. The selling stockholder may also lend or pledge the
shares of offered common stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-
dealer may sell the shares of common stock so lent or upon
default the broker-dealer may effect sales of the pledged shares
pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also
pledge shares of offered common stock to a lender other than a
broker-dealer, and upon default such lender may sell the shares
of common stock so pledged pursuant to this prospectus. The
selling stockholders may also contribute or sell shares of
offered common stock to trusts or other entities for the benefit
of the contributing selling stockholder and members of his or her
family.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling
stockholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with the
sale of offered common stock. Such broker-dealers and any other
participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection
with such sales. Any such commission, discount or concession may
be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by the
prospectus which qualify for sale under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 rather than
pursuant to this prospectus.
9
All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the offered common stock shall be borne by us.
Commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of
shares of offered common stock will be borne by the selling
stockholders. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any
broker-dealer or agent that participates in transaction involving
sales of offered common stock against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain
liabilities in connection with the offering of the offered common
stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of offered common stock have been
passed upon for us by J. Edward Smith, Assistant General Counsel,
Corporate and Finance, of AlliedSignal. Mr. Smith beneficially
owns shares of our common stock and has options to acquire
additional shares of common stock granted under our option plans.
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 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 report dated May 13, 1999 incorporated by reference in
this prospectus, states 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.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under Article ELEVENTH of AlliedSignal's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, each person who is or was a
director or officer of AlliedSignal, and each director or officer
of AlliedSignal who serves or served any other enterprise or
organization at the request of AlliedSignal, shall be indemnified
by AlliedSignal to the full extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law.
Under such law, to the extent that such a person is
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a suit or
proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of AlliedSignal, or
serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the
request of AlliedSignal, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with such action.
If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a
criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, such a person shall
be indemnified under such law against both (1) expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and (2) judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of AlliedSignal, and with respect to any
criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's
conduct was unlawful.
If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the
right of AlliedSignal, or if such suit is settled, such a person
shall be indemnified under such law only against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
the defense or settlement of such suit if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of AlliedSignal except
that if such a person is adjudged to be liable in such suit to
AlliedSignal, such person cannot be made whole even for expenses
unless the court determines that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
In addition, AlliedSignal maintains directors' and officers'
reimbursement and liability insurance pursuant to standard form
policies. The risks covered by such policies include certain
liabilities under the securities laws.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A
and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(b) under the Act shall
be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the
time it was declared effective.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
