Item 5. Other Events
In a press release issued on February 22, 2002, TRW Inc. (“TRW”) acknowledged receipt from Northrop Grumman Corporation (“Northrop Grumman”) of an unsolicited proposal of $47 in Northrop Grumman common stock for each share of TRW common stock. In the press release, TRW stated that its Board of Directors will address the Northrop Grumman proposal in order to determine the appropriate course, which will serve the best interests of TRW’s shareholders and other constituencies. TRW stated that shareholders need take no action at this time.
TRW also stated in the press release that it found it regrettable that Northrop Grumman has chosen to make this proposal immediately following the unexpected departure of its former Chief Executive Officer, David Cote, and the aberationally low stock price that resulted. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
