SPX WITHDRAWS EXCHANGE OFFER FOR ECHLIN
---------------------------------------
MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN, MAY 6, 1998 -- SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today
announced that it is withdrawing its exchange offer to acquire Echlin Inc.
(NYSE:ECH) because it is not in the best interests of SPX shareholders to
compete with the terms of Dana Corporation's (NYSE: DCN) merger agreement
with Echlin.
"A value-creating acquisition requires pricing discipline. While we
are disappointed that Echlin has chosen an alternative transaction, Dana is
an excellent company and we wish Dana and Echlin well," said John B.
Blystone, Chairman, President and CEO of SPX. "SPX's businesses are
thriving and we are confident in our ability to continue the dramatic
turnaround at SPX. The appreciation of our Echlin shares will more than
cover the costs of our offer. Going forward, we will continue to improve
SPX's businesses and will pursue other growth opportunities to create
wealth for SPX shareholders."
SPX Corporation is a global provider of Vehicle Service Solutions to
franchised dealers and independent service locations, Service Support to
