01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 10-K/A filed June 29, 1995. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This filing is Amendment No. 1 (Form 10-K/A) to Dover Corporation's annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
It does not contain Dover's financial statements, operating results, or business description. Its stated purpose is to add information, financial statements, and exhibits required by Form 11-K for the Dover Corporation Employee Savings and Investment Plan, under Rule 15d-21. The cover page reports 56,680,404 common shares outstanding as of February 28, 1995, and an aggregate market value of $3,144,818,296a held by nonaffiliates as of that date.
The company's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. For investors, the practical significance is limited. The amendment covers the employee benefit plan, not the company's revenue, earnings, cash flow, or balance sheet.
Investors seeking Dover's 1994 financial performance should review the original 10-K and the 1994 Annual Report to Stockholders, which the filing incorporates by reference for Parts I, II, and IV. Part III information (executive compensation, ownership, and related matters) is incorporated from the 1995 Proxy Statement for the April 25, 1995 annual meeting.
The filing is routine in nature. Its main value to investors is confirming that the company's 401(k)-style savings plan has been reported in the required format, and providing the share count and nonaffiliate market value as of February 28, 1995.

What is Form 11-K and why was it filed with the 10-K?
Form 11-K reports the financial statements and related information of employee benefit plans, such as savings and investment plans. Under Rule 15d-21, companies can satisfy the requirement by filing this information as an amendment to their annual report on Form 10-K.

Should this amendment change my view of Dover as an investment?
Not on its own. The amendment addresses an employee benefit plan reporting requirement and does not disclose changes in business operations, financial condition, or outlook. Investors should base decisions on the original 10-K, the 1994 Annual Report, and subsequent filings.
