Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 6, 2011, Gary L. McArthur, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Harris Corporation ("Harris"), established a written pre-arranged plan to sell shares of Harris stock. The plan was established as part of Mr. McArthur’s long-term strategy for asset diversification and financial, estate and tax planning activities. Mr. McArthur’s plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Harris’ insider trading policy. Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals to establish pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material non-public information, and allows such pre-arranged trades to be made pursuant to the plan regardless of any subsequent material non-public information that an individual may receive. Using these plans, individuals can gradually diversify their investment portfolios over time.


Mr. McArthur’s plan provides for the sale of 12,000 shares of Harris stock. Subject to minimum price thresholds, such shares will be sold on predetermined dates starting in June 2011, subject to early termination or suspension upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Any such sales will not reduce Mr. McArthur’s ownership of Harris stock below applicable Harris stock ownership guidelines for executive officers. The transactions under the plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 and Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Except as may be required by law, Harris does not undertake to report any Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any other officers or directors of Harris, nor to report modifications or termination of any such plans, including Mr. McArthur’s plan.
