As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by L3Harris Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3Harris”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2019, on June 29, 2019, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended) by and among Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Harris”), L3 Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“L3”), and Leopard Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Harris (“Merger Sub”), and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Merger Sub merged with and into L3 (the “Merger”).  At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased, and L3 continued its existence under Delaware law as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris, which was renamed “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” upon the consummation of the Merger.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger on June 29, 2019, L3Harris’ restated certificate of incorporation, as previously amended, was further amended as approved at the special meeting of Harris stockholders held on April 4, 2019 and also to reflect the change of the name of the combined company to “L3Harris Technologies, Inc.” as of the Effective Time (as so amended, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation), and L3Harris’ bylaws were amended and restated in their entirety (the Amended and Restated Bylaws) and L3Harris prepared a specimen form stock certificate for the common stock of L3Harris (the “Specimen Stock Certificate”).

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, unless and until the Board of Directors shall otherwise determine, (i) up to and including June 28, 2019, the fiscal year of L3Harris shall end on the Friday nearest June 30 and (ii) commencing June 29, 2019, the fiscal year of L3Harris shall end on the Friday nearest December 31, and the period commencing on June 29, 2019 shall be a fiscal transition period ending on January 3, 2020.

Copies of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the Specimen Stock Certificate are filed as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03.
