FUTURE FOCUS Creating the Premier Aerospace & Defense Systems Provider A resource for communicating with your teams as we transform UTC June 2019 ISSUE 3 | 2019

 2 Purpose of this guide This material is being provided to all managers across our aerospace businesses to help support the portfolio transformation. This is the third UTC Manager Guide we’ve shared since the decision to separate the portfolio; you can view prior issues at: future.utc.com. As we navigate our path to establish Otis and Carrier as strong independent companies, and now expand our aerospace business with the merger with Raytheon, we’re building a continuous feedback loop to help us understand what employees are thinking about the changes ahead. This guide includes information that is intended to help answer employee questions about why we’re changing our portfolio and when we think these changes will begin to take place. Employees continuously tell us that the number-one, preferred source of company information is their manager/leader. That’s why your role in communicating change is so critical. This guide has been prepared to help you engage with your employees to help them understand the changes ahead. If you or your employees have a question, concern or feedback, please visit the future.utc.com site or email us at questions.future@utc.com.

 3 An aerospace merger of historic proportions What On June 9, 2019, United Technologies and Raytheon announced an agreement to combine through a merger of equals to create a premier systems provider in aerospace and defense, balanced across global commercial and defense markets, with advanced technology capabilities for air, sea, land and space. Why This merger is about growth and investment for the future and, at the same time, offers the best solutions for our customers. The company we will create together will be unique within the aerospace and defense industry and will deliver unimagined technology solutions. • Our new Fortune 50 technology company will employ ~180,000 employees – including ~60,000 engineers – and is projected to generate approximately $74 billion in revenue through our commercial and military customers around the world. • Combined, we spend about $8 billion on R&D and hold an intellectual property portfolio that includes ~38,000 patents. When We expect to merge the two companies in the first half of 2020, after the separation of Otis and Carrier from United Technologies is complete. In fact, the separation is required to move this merger forward. Managers make the difference – Four actions you can take with your team today We’re counting on you to keep your team engaged and productive throughout this process. Your ability to be transparent and lead with empathy will be critical as we transform the company. 1. Take the time to understand the talking points and messages in this Manager Guide.

 4 A shared history and a bold new vision for the future Since the beginning of our industry, the future of aerospace has been shaped by visionaries and pioneers who dared to realize their dreams, and by the heroes who strive to make the world a safer place. UTC, Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace have legacies of delivering technologies and innovations that helped create the milestones and moments that have redefined how we view the world. Our products flew with Lindberg and Earhart, defended freedom in Europe and the Pacific, ushered in the jet age, and went to the moon. Today, as separate companies we’re delivering products to allow our commercial customers to meet the demands of an urbanizing world and to allow our armed forces to defend the United States and its allies. Together, we’ll make our country and its allies safer, ensure commercial aviation is more secure and efficient and create unimagined solutions for our customers everywhere. Key messages to share with employees Creating a company like Raytheon Technologies is an exciting and bold move.

 6 Who is Raytheon? With 2018 sales of $27 billion and 67,000 employees, Raytheon Company – based in Waltham, Massachusetts – is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, civil government and cybersecurity solutions. With a history of innovation spanning 97 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration, C5I® products and services, sensing, effects and mission support for customers in more than 80 countries. Raytheon Technologies – Creating unimagined solutions together United Technologies and Raytheon each bring a complementary set of technologies to this merger. When considered together, we envision new solutions for tomorrow’s challenges – solutions that address our customers’ needs in brand new ways. A few of the many examples follow: Connected aircraft Commercial aircraft are increasingly connected. Operators are seeking to reduce operating costs and increase reliability through connectivity that enables improved prognostics, health monitoring and fleet management. The challenge is that with greater connectivity and intelligence comes the increased risk of cyber threats. As the cyber protection landscape continues to evolve, increasingly robust protections will be required. The combination of our companies brings together Raytheon’s cyber defense and response capabilities with United Technologies’ aircraft systems expertise, as well as aircraft data networks, communications and information management systems. This is expected to create highly advanced cyber solutions and capabilities to help airlines and original equipment manufacturers deal with emerging risks, representing a significant opportunity across all commercial aerospace applications. Hypersonics As we reach the limits of stealth technologies, extreme speed becomes a key differentiator in the future of missile systems, and makes interception, even if detected, extremely difficult. Hypersonic systems far exceed the speed of sound. Merging the two companies brings Raytheon’s deep experience in vehicle integration, advanced guidance and control, and payloads and combines it with United Technologies’ world-class propulsion technology, including high-temperature materials and thermal management. The combined capabilities are expected to deliver high-speed missile systems uniquely suited to meet future Department of Defense requirements for supersonic and hypersonic capability across a wide range of mission profiles.
