INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 8.01. Other Events.

             On April 4, 2007, the Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Rockwell Automation, Inc. (the “Company”) approved adjustments to the financial performance goals used to assist in determining amounts of cash incentive compensation that may be payable under the Company’s Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”) and the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan for Senior Executive Officers (the “Senior ICP”) for fiscal year 2007 that were originally approved by the Committee on December 6, 2006. The Committee approved adjustments to the following financial performance goals to reflect the divestiture of the Company’s former Dodge mechanical and Reliance Electric motors and motor repair services businesses on January 31, 2007: (i) earnings per share, (ii) sales, (iii) return on invested capital (“ROIC”), and (iv) free cash flow.

             The Committee also approved measuring the ROIC performance goal at the Company-wide level instead of the operating segment level as a result of such divestiture and the centralization of operations, marketing, customer service, and staff functions.

             Except as described above, each participant’s actual incentive compensation payment under the ICP and under the Senior ICP for fiscal year 2007 will be determined as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 12, 2006.
