On May 29, 2015, Exelis Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Exelis”), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), upon the consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 5, 2015, among Harris, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris and Exelis. In connection with the closing of the Merger, participant account balances in the Exelis Stock Fund under the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) were converted into Harris common stock and cash under the following terms of the transaction: each share of Exelis common stock held in the Plan was exchanged for $16.625 in cash and 0.1025 of a share of Harris common stock. Following the Merger, Exelis common stock will no longer be an investment option under the Plan.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Plan has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
