01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 10-K/A filed August 10, 1999. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This is Amendment No. 2 (Form 10-K/A) to Dover Corporation's annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, filed August 10, 1999.

It does not contain new operating results, financial statements, or management discussion. Its stated purpose is to add information, amended financial statements, and exhibits required by Form 11-K for the Dover Corporation Retirement Savings Plan, filed under Rule 15d-21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The cover page provides basic registrant data.

Dover is a Delaware corporation headquartered at 280 Park Avenue, New York, and its common stock (par value $1a) trades on the New York Stock Exchange. As of March 1, 1999, there were 215,894,434 common shares outstanding, and the market value of shares held by non-affiliates was approximately $6.86 billion, based on a closing price of $34.125 per share. The registrant also has registered notes and debentures: 6.45% Notes due 2005, 6.25% Notes due 2008, and 6.65% Debentures due 2028.

For investors, the key point is that this filing is administrative rather than informational about the company's business performance. The substantive financial disclosures for fiscal 1998 are incorporated by reference from the 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders and the 1999 Proxy Statement, and are not reproduced in this document. Investors seeking performance, balance sheet, or strategic information should consult those primary sources or the original Form 10-K.

03—Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What does this 10-K/A amendment change compared with the original annual report?

    It adds Form 11-K information for the Dover Corporation Retirement Savings Plan for 1998, including amended financial statements and exhibits. It does not restate Dover's consolidated financial results or business disclosures.

  2. Does this filing show Dover's 1998 revenue, earnings, or balance sheet?

    No. The filing's Parts I, II, and IV rely on the 1998 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated by reference and not included in this document. Those financial statements must be obtained from the original annual report.

  3. How large is Dover's equity value based on this filing?

    The cover page reports non-affiliate market value of about $6.86 billion as of March 1, 1999, at $34.125 per share across 215,894,434 outstanding shares. This is a point-in-time figure, not a current valuation.

  4. What debt obligations does Dover have registered with the SEC?

    The registration statement lists 6.45% Notes due November 15, 2005, 6.25% Notes due June 1, 2008, and 6.65% Debentures due June 1, 2028. Investors should review the full annual report for outstanding amounts and terms.

  5. Why would an investor care about a filing focused on a retirement savings plan?

    Plan-level 11-K disclosures show the assets and financial condition of the employee retirement savings plan, which can indicate employee benefit funding and participation. However, it provides limited insight into Dover's overall operating performance or investment merits.
