Completion of Spin-Off from Honeywell
On June 29, 2026, the Spin-off was completed through a pro-rata distribution of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares to Honeywell’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, at which time each holder of Honeywell’s common shares received one Aerospace common share for every two Honeywell common shares held as of the Record Date, resulting in the Distribution of 316,939,750 shares of the Company’s common shares to Honeywell shareholders. Upon completion of the Distribution, the Company commenced “regular way” trading as an independent public company under the ticker symbol “HONA” on Nasdaq.
In connection with the Spin-off, the Company and Honeywell entered into definitive agreements which set forth the terms and conditions of the Spin-off and provide a framework for the Company’s relationship with Honeywell following the Spin-off as follows:
The Separation and Distribution Agreement sets forth, among other things, the Company’s agreements with Honeywell regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Spin-off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of the Company’s ongoing relationship with Honeywell following the Distribution.
The Transition Services Agreement governs certain transitional services to be provided by Honeywell to the Company on an interim, transitional basis. The services, including, but not limited to global real estate support, information technology support, finance administration support, and human resources support, will be provided for a limited time, generally for no longer than two years following the Distribution Date, and will be provided for specified fees, which are generally based on the cost of services provided.
The Tax Matters Agreement governs the Company’s and Honeywell’s respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the
preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings, and other matters regarding taxes. The Tax Matters Agreement provides special rules that allocate tax liabilities in the event the share distribution or certain related transactions fail to qualify for their intended tax consequences.
The Employee Matters Agreement addresses employment and employee compensation and benefits matters. The Employee Matters Agreement addresses the allocation and treatment of assets and liabilities relating to employees and compensation and benefit plans and programs in which the Company’s employees participated prior to the Spin-off.
The Intellectual Property License Agreement governs the terms by which each of the Company and Honeywell, and their respective affiliates, grant and receive perpetual non-exclusive licenses to and from each other in respect of certain patents and other intellectual property rights owned by the licensing party or its group, excluding rights in trademarks and certain other intellectual property rights that may be addressed in separate agreements between the parties or their respective affiliates.
The Trademark License Agreement provides the Company a license to use “Honeywell Aerospace” and certain other trademarks in its operation of the Aerospace business, including in the names of Honeywell Aerospace and certain of its subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions. The agreement includes exclusivity terms with respect to the use of “Honeywell Aerospace” and certain other uses, subject to certain exceptions, including exceptions permitting the Company to continue to market and sell products and services under the “Honeywell” mark. The Trademark License Agreement includes customary quality control provisions to protect and preserve the goodwill associated with “Honeywell” and the other licensed marks. In exchange, the Company will pay Honeywell an aggregate amount of $1,125 million over a period of less than five years, with an initial payment of $18.75 million due within five days of the Distribution date followed by 59 equal monthly payments of $18.75 million. Costs associated with the Honeywell trademark license are expensed as incurred.
Commercial Paper Program
On June 29, 2026, the Company entered into a commercial paper program to issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to $4.0 billion, with maturities up to 397 days. Commercial paper notes are sold at par less a discount representing an interest factor, or if interest bearing, at par.
Debt Exchange
On July 6, 2026, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (“Registration Statement”) which included an offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) each series of the Initial Notes for registered notes of like principal (“New Notes” and, together with the Initial Notes, “Notes”). The Initial Notes were originally issued on March 16, 2026, in a private offering in connection with the Spin-off. The terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Initial Notes of corresponding series, except that the New Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, will not contain restrictions on transfer or provisions relating to additional interest, and will not entitle their holders to registration rights. The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on July 13, 2026. The Company expects the Exchange Offer to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Share Repurchase Authorization
On July 23, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $3.5 billion of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The program has no fixed expiration date and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Board. As of the date of this filing, no repurchases have been made under the program.
