Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal or both.

THESE DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST OF ITT AT ITS PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES, 1330 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS, NEW YORK, NY 10019-5490, ATTENTION: CORPORATE SECRETARY (TELEPHONE NUMBER: 212-258-1000).

Until December 31, 1983, the corporation was known as International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation. It is the successor (since 1968) to a Maryland corporation incorporated in 1920. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references herein to ITT Corporation ("ITT") include its subsidiaries. ITT is a diversified global enterprise engaged, either directly or through subsidiaries, in manufacturing and selling automotive, defense and electronics, and fluid technology products, in providing and selling insurance, financial and communications and information services, and in hotel operations. In addition, ITT owns approximately 6% of the outstanding capital shares of Alcatel Alsthom, a French company which owns, among other things, Alcatel N.V., the largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer in the world. ITT has approximately 98,000 employees. PURPOSES OF ISSUES ITT has offered and expects to offer and issue shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock from time to time in exchange for ownership interests in other companies or entities as represented by shares of capital stock, partnership units or other assets or in exchange for all or part of the assets and liabilities of other companies and entities. ITT has not received and does not expect to receive any cash proceeds (other than working capital of acquired companies and entities) in connection with any such issuances. ITT may enter into contracts that provide for future payments to and non-competition agreements with former owners and key executive personnel of companies and entities to be acquired. It is expected that the terms of any acquisition involving the issuance of any Common Stock or Preferred Stock will be determined by direct negotiations with the owners or controlling persons of the companies and entities to be acquired and that such shares will be valued at prices reasonably related to market prices current at the time the terms of the acquisition are agreed upon or at the time of closing of the acquisition or delivery of such shares, without payment of any underwriting discounts or commissions or any finder's fees. Factors taken into account by ITT in negotiating an acquisition include the quality and reputation of a business, its management, revenues, earnings and growth potential and location. OTHER INFORMATION Acquisitions involving the issuance of Common Stock and Preferred Stock are not expected to require approval by any federal or state regulatory bodies. The rights of dissenting shareholders of any acquired corporation and the federal income tax consequences for persons involved in any acquisition involving the issuance of such shares will be determined on a case by case basis for each acquisition. RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED DIVIDEND REQUIREMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 1993 1992* 1991* 1990* 1989* ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Based on earnings from continuing operations................ 2.08 ** 1.48 1.68 1.58
- --------------- Notes: * As restated to exclude Rayonier (a divested subsidiary) now treated as a "Discontinued Operation." ** Earnings were inadequate to cover total fixed charges and preferred dividend requirements by $510 million. For the purpose of these ratios, "earnings" is determined by adding "fixed charges" (excluding interest capitalized), income taxes, minority common stockholders equity in net income and amortization of interest capitalized to income from continuing operations after eliminating equity in undistributed earnings and adding back losses of companies in which at least 20% but less than 50% equity is owned. For this purpose, "fixed 3 6 charges" consists of (1) interest on all indebtedness and amortization of debt discount and expense, (2) interest capitalized, (3) an interest factor attributable to rentals and (4) preferred stock dividends of an insurance subsidiary. Preferred dividend requirements represent ITT preferred stock dividend requirements. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

EXPERTS The audited financial statements incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and elsewhere in the Registration Statement have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, as indicated in their report with respect thereto, and are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing in giving said report. Reference is made to said report, which includes an explanatory paragraph with respect to ITT's adoption of new accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, changing its methods of accounting, in 1993, for reinsurance of short-duration and long-duration contracts, and, effective January 1, 1992, for postretirement benefits other than pensions and postemployment benefits as discussed in the notes to financial statements. 4 7 PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the Registrant may indemnify officers and directors who are parties or threatened to be made parties in actual or threatened lawsuits against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred. Delaware law further provides that a corporation may purchase indemnification insurance providing for indemnification of officers and directors whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the provisions of the Delaware law. ITT has purchased such insurance. Reference is made to Article 4 of the By-Laws of ITT filed with ITT's Form SE dated March 22, 1993 relating to ITT's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1992 (File No. 1-5627, CIK No. 216228). Reference is made to the form of indemnification agreement between ITT and each of its directors filed with ITT's Form SE dated March 28, 1988 relating to ITT's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1987 (File No. 1-5627, CIK No. 216228). ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES. See List of Exhibits elsewhere herein. ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS. (1) 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 provisions described under Item 20 above, or otherwise (but that term shall not extend to the insurance policies referred to in said Item 20), the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange 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. (2) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes: (a) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, unless the information required to be included in such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference; and II-1 8 (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; (b) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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; (c) 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; (d) 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; (e) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request; (f) to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a material transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective; (g) that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form; and (h) that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (g) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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.
