On January 27, 2017, Harris Corporation (Harris or the Company)
issued a press release announcing that it signed a definitive
agreement to sell its government IT services business to an
affiliate of Veritas Capital for $690 million in cash. The
transaction is subject to regulatory review and other customary
closing conditions and is expected to close before the end of
Harris’ fiscal 2017. Harris intends to use the proceeds from the
transaction to support its capital allocation strategy, including
pension pre-funding and share repurchases. Harris expects the
benefit from the use of cash proceeds and restructuring actions
related to its pending divestiture of its government IT services
business and its recently completed divestiture of its Harris
CapRock Communications commercial business to result in net
dilution for its fiscal 2018 in a range of $0.10 to $0.15 per
diluted share. The full text of the press release is furnished
herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
