ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On December  21, 1999,  GPU,  Inc.  ("GPU") and MYR Group Inc.  ("MYR")
entered   into  an   agreement   under  which  GPU  will  acquire  the  suburban
Chicago-headquartered  utility infrastructure construction firm for $215 million
cash or  $30.10  per  share.  The  transaction  will  make  MYR a  wholly  owned
subsidiary of GPU. The purchase is expected to be completed in the first quarter
of 2000.

         Under the terms of the merger agreement  between GPU and MYR, which was
approved  unanimously  by  MYR's  Board of  Directors,  a  subsidiary  of GPU is
expected  to start a tender  offer for all of the  outstanding  shares of MYR no
later than December 29, 1999.

         The offer is subject to the  conditions  that a majority  of the shares
are  tendered,  approval by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  under the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and other  customary  conditions.  If
the tender offer is successful, it will be followed as promptly as possible by a
merger in which any  remaining  shares of MYR stock will be  converted  into the
right to receive $30.10 per share in cash.

         A copy of GPU's related news release is annexed as an exhibit.
