Commission File No. 1-37975 IT - Working to Connect Us on Day 1 Since the merger was announced, employees have asked questions about a variety of topics including what to expect on Day 1. Because Harris and L3 continue to operate as separate companies until the transaction closes (expected in mid-2019), there are no changes anticipated in the near-term. Here is some information about planned Day 1 IT changes. What IT related changes will occur on Day 1? Beginning on Day 1, our focus will be on employee collaboration and communication to allow employees of the combined company to work together effectively. While it will take time to integrate and standardize IT platforms, plans are in place to ease the process. The Integration Management Office IT team is planning to provide employees the following capabilities on Day 1: • Common email addresses using a TBD domain name – old addresses will still work as well • Combined distribution lists for email • Synchronization of global address lists • A single IT help desk contact point and phone number • A common external website with links to existing sites • A common intranet landing page with links to existing intranets • Skype and Intercall collaboration to provide IM and meeting capabilities • Free/busy indication on calendars for scheduling meetings As more details become available, they will be communicated to employees on Edge and the Integration Site. If you have questions about IT or other integration topics, please send them to IntegrationComms@harris.com. For a complete list of FAQs, click here.
