Sponsored by Businesswire

L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) has commenced offers to eligible holders to exchange (each an “Exchange Offer” and collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) any and all outstanding notes issued by L3Harris as set forth in the table below (the “Original Notes”), which were previously issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for an equal principal amount of new notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”).

The Exchange Notes are being offered to satisfy L3Harris’ obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into as part of the issuance and sale of the Original Notes, which occurred in exchange for notes previously issued by L3 Technologies in connection with the merger of L3 and Harris Corporation.

The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offers are substantially identical to the terms of the corresponding series of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related additional interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. Each series of Exchange Notes will be part of the same corresponding series of the Original Notes and will be issued under the same base indenture.

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount outstanding and maturity date of each series of Original Notes. The Exchange Offers consist of an offer to exchange up to the entire aggregate principal amount outstanding of each series of Original Notes for an equal principal amount of the corresponding series of Exchange Notes.
