ITEM 4 - OWNERSHIP:
The following information is as of December 31, 2003:
(a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 2,224,685 shares*
(b) Percent of Class: 18.13*
(c) Number of shares to which such person has:
(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote 887,715
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote -0-
(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 12,750
(iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 1,363,435
*Of the total shares of Common Stock reported herein, 841,500 shares
are held in a pension plan trust account opened on June 13, 2000 under
the plan name of "Non-Contributory Pension Plan for Employees of Mine
Safety Appliances Company." The account was established under that
certain Trust Agreement dated April 1, 1992 by and between Mine Safety
Appliances Company and Pittsburgh National Bank (now, PNC Bank,
National Association) for which PNC Bank, National Association serves
as Directed Trustee.
*On June 4, 1996, the Mine Safety Appliances Company Stock Compensation
Trust (the "Trust"), of which PNC Bank, National Association, acts as
Trustee, purchased 600,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of
Mine Safety Appliances Company (the "Company"). The purchase price for
such common stock was paid for by a loan from the Company to the
Trustee as evidenced by a promissory note. The Trust was established
and the Company's common stock so purchased to provide assurance of the
availability of the shares of the Company's common stock necessary to
satisfy certain obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under
certain designated non-qualified employee plans, in accordance with a
Trust Agreement effective as of June 1, 1996. On May 25, 2000, the
Company declared a 3-for-1 stock split thereby increasing the number of
total shares in the Trust from 600,000 to 1,800,000. Pursuant to this
amendment to Schedule 13G, PNC Bank, National Association, as Trustee
of the Trust, reports that it has no voting power, but may have shared
dispositive power, with respect to the 1,336,720 shares held in the
Trust as of December 31, 2003. The filing of this amendment does not
constitute, and should not be construed as, an admission that either
PNC Bank, National Association, as Trustee of the Trust, or the Trust
beneficially owns such securities. In connection therewith, the Trustee
and the Trust disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
