NOTE 28: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Share Repurchase Authorization

On January 28, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a new $6 billion share repurchase authorization under our repurchase program that was in addition to the remaining unused authorization of $210 million, for a total unused authorization of $6.2 billion. Although our repurchase program does not have a stated expiration date, we announced that we currently expect to repurchase up to $2.3 billion in shares in fiscal 2021, exclusive of any proceeds from divestitures that we may complete, but we can give no assurances regarding the level and timing of shares repurchases. Repurchases under our repurchase program may be made through open-market transactions, private transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions or any combination thereof. The level of our repurchases depends on a number of factors, including our financial

condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors our Board and management may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and are at our discretion and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Pending Divestitures

Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2020, we entered into definitive agreements to divest two businesses in connection with our process to reshape our business portfolio to focus on core technologies following the L3Harris Merger. Each divestiture is subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, and we expect to close the divestitures in the second half of fiscal 2021 and to use proceeds from the divestitures to repurchase shares of our common stock; however, there can be no assurances that the conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if applicable) or that closing will occur in the second half of fiscal 2021 or at all or regarding the use of proceeds. Because the two businesses did not meet the held for sale criteria as of January 1, 2021, the assets and liabilities of the businesses were not classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2021.

Military training business. On February 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our military training business to CAE USA Inc., a subsidiary of CAE Inc., for $1.05 billion in cash, subject to adjustments set forth in the definitive agreement. The military training business provides flight simulation solutions and training services to DoD and foreign military agencies. The military training business is part of our Aviation Systems segment and had approximately $500 million in fiscal 2020 revenue.

CPS business. On March 1, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Combat Propulsion Systems and related businesses (“CPS business”) to RENK AG for approximately $400 million in cash, subject to adjustments set forth in the definitive agreement. The CPS business engineers, designs, manufactures and remanufactures engines, transmissions, suspensions and turret drive systems for tracked and wheeled combat vehicle systems. The CPS business is part of our Aviation Systems segment and had approximately $230 million in fiscal 2020 revenue.
