Item 8.01 Other Events
On May 21, 2007, TransDigm Group Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the pricing of a secondary offering of shares of its common stock by certain selling stockholders (the “Offering”). A copy of the press released is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On May 25, 2007, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in connection therewith. A copy of the press released is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Upon the closing of the Offering, the Company ceased to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules. As a result, in accordance with NYSE rules, the Company intends to phase in the independence requirements relating to its Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. In furtherance of the foregoing, upon the closing of the Offering, Kewsong Lee resigned from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. However, Mr. Lee continues to serve on the Board. In addition, upon the closing of the Offering, Dudley Sheffler was appointed to the Compensation Committee of the Board, and Douglas Peacock was appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board. Messrs. Sheffler and Peacock are “independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the NYSE.
