Filed by L3 Technologies, Inc. pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Subject Company: L3 Technologies, Inc. Commission File No. 001-37975 February 5, 2019 Kathy Contino-Schlarb and Phil Blatchley discuss the crucial role of IT in merger integration IMO Leadership Profile What will it take to accomplish the Integration Management Office (IMO) vision of L3 Harris Technologies as highly connected, agile, and responsive defense contractor? In short, collaboration will be key. Developing networks, applications and procedures that will connect all 48,000 employees across L3 Harris Technologies will be no easy task. That’s the challenge – and opportunity – for the IMO IT team. The IMO IT team’s integration planning priorities include IT support for the business segments, delivering operating synergies, and combining the IT departments. Fortunately, IMO IT leads Kathy Contino-Schlarb of L3 and Phil Blatchley of Harris are no strangers to acquisitions and integrations – and are ready to ensure that the best technology is launched across L3 Harris Technologies, beginning on Day 1. “Participating in this merger of strengths is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” says Contino-Schlarb, who has more than 30 years of experience in integration and IT. Talk about a small world – prior to becoming VP of IT at L3’s Electronic Systems segment, she was the Director of IT at Harris for almost three years and worked with Blatchley during the Exelis integration. “My experience at both companies provides a unique perspective, allowing me to translate terminology, policies and approaches between L3 and Harris,” Contino-Schlarb says. Blatchley, a 39-year Harris veteran, is Senior Director of Information Systems, concentrating on applications development, operations and infrastructure. He has a strong foundation in mergers and acquisitions – working on integrations over the past 15 years, including leading IT for the Exelis integration. “Our goal is to ensure we consider and evaluate the best procedures and policies from both companies,” Blatchley says. “We are looking for the best and leaving the remainder behind.”



One of their near-term integration priorities is to ensure critical communications are available on Day 1. This includes establishing a new email address (though email domains from both legacy companies will still be operating post-close), a new external website and internal intranet site. The team is also exploring how to make Wi-Fi services available to people traveling across locations. “We have really talented IT employees across both companies who are eager to collaborate,” Contino-Schlarb says. “In my experience, the fact that we are even exploring Wi-Fi services between locations is a tremendous feat relative to other integrations.” “The new company will be more competitive, more innovative and more advanced than L3 and Harris are on their own,” Blatchley says. “These channels of communication across the company will be the backbone of innovation. They will allow creative minds to come together from all corners of L3 and Harris. IT will provide the tools necessary for that communication to happen.” IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
