Long-Term Debt Repaid in the Quarter Ended July 3, 2020

During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, we repaid at maturity the entire outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020.

Long-Term Debt Issued in the Quarter Ended April 3, 2020

During the quarter ended April 3, 2020, we completed the issuance and sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due March 10, 2023 (the “Floating Rate Notes 2023”). The Floating Rate Notes 2023 bear interest at a floating rate, reset quarterly, equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.75% per year. Interest on the Floating Rate Notes 2023 is payable quarterly in arrears on March 10, June 10, September 10 and December 10 of each year, commencing on June 10, 2020. The Floating Rate Notes 2023 are unsecured and unsubordinated and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Floating Rate Notes 2023 are not redeemable at our option prior to maturity. Debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the Floating Rate Notes 2023 were not material. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the Floating Rate Notes 2023 to repay at maturity the aggregate principal amount of our Floating Rate Notes due April 30, 2020 as described above under “Long-Term Debt Repaid in the Quarter Ended July 3, 2020.”

Debt Exchange

In connection with the L3Harris Merger, on July 2, 2019, we settled our previously announced exchange offers in which eligible holders of L3 senior notes (“L3 Notes”) could exchange such outstanding notes for (1) up to $3.35 billion aggregate

principal amount of new notes issued by L3Harris (“New L3Harris Notes”) and (2) one dollar in cash for each $1,000 of principal amount. Each series of the New L3Harris Notes issued has an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to the L3 Notes.


(In millions)	Aggregate Principal Amount of L3 Notes (prior to debt exchange)		Aggregate Principal Amount of New L3Harris Notes Issued		Aggregate Principal Amount of Remaining L3 Notes

4.95% notes due February 15, 2021 (“4.95% 2021 Notes”)	$	650	$	501	$	149
3.85% notes due June 15, 2023 (“3.85% 2023 Notes”)	800		741		59

On March 31, 2020, we commenced offers to eligible holders (“Exchange Offers”) to exchange any and all outstanding New L3Harris Notes issued by L3Harris as set forth in the table above (the “Original Notes”), which were previously issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for an equal principal amount of new notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”).

The Exchange Notes were offered to satisfy L3Harris’ obligations under the registration rights agreement entered into as part of the issuance of the Original Notes, which occurred in exchange for the L3 Notes as described above.

The terms of the Exchange Notes issued in the Exchange Offers are substantially identical to the terms of the corresponding series of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and related special interest provisions applicable to the Original Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes. Each series of Exchange Notes is part of the same corresponding series of the Original Notes and were issued under the same base indenture.

The Exchange Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 1, 2020. On May 5, 2020, we settled the Exchange Offers and issued Exchange Notes for validly tendered Original Notes for over 99.9% of the 4.95% 2021 Notes, 3.85% 2023 Notes, 3.95% 2024 Notes and 3.85% 2026 Notes and approximately 98.9% of the 4.40% 2028 Notes.
