Goodrich to Acquire TRW Aeronautical Systems

• Excellent strategic fit, creating new platforms and new growth opportunities

• Cash purchase price of $1.5 billion, expected to be financed through combination of debt and equity-linked securities

• Enhances Goodrich’s position as a top-tier aerospace systems company

• Accretive in first full year, including synergies

CHARLOTTE, NC, June 18, 2002 – Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TRW Inc.’s (NYSE: TRW) Aeronautical Systems businesses for $1.5 billion in cash. The transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Goodrich and TRW Inc., is expected to be permanently financed by a combination of debt and equity-linked securities. Expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2002, the transaction is subject to approval by U.S. and European regulatory agencies.

Under the terms of the agreement, Goodrich will acquire businesses with strong positions in commercial and military aerospace, including flight controls, cargo systems, engine control systems, power and utility systems, and missile actuation. All of the businesses have excellent proprietary positions, patents and technology, and a large installed product base, which supports a strong aftermarket sales mix. The businesses significantly enhance Goodrich’s global position with 54% of product sales in Europe and approximately 6,200 employees in 22 facilities in nine countries, including manufacturing and service operations in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, the United States and several Asia/Pacific countries.

“This is a strategically important acquisition for us as we continue to add value by building on our core aerospace base,” said David L. Burner, Goodrich’s chairman and chief executive officer. “The integration of Aeronautical Systems with Goodrich will significantly strengthen our position as a top-tier aerospace systems supplier and further deepen our longstanding relationships with shared customers worldwide. The 55/45 sales split between original equipment and aftermarket adds to our already balanced business mix, and Aeronautical Systems’ military business, which accounts for 25% of sales, complements our growing presence in that important sector. The combination of our businesses will enhance Goodrich’s product and systems offerings to the benefit of customers, suppliers, employees and investors.”

TRW Aeronautical Systems had 2001 revenue of $1.1 billion and EBITDA, before special items, of $180 million, as compiled under TRW management reporting guidelines. The company expects that annual cost savings of approximately $30-$40 million, net of anticipated incremental costs, will be realized within the first three years after completion of the acquisition. Goodrich expects that the transaction will be accretive to 2003 earnings per share, excluding special items and inventory step-up accounting (the difference between the original book value of the inventory and the fair market value of the inventory upon acquisition), and including cost savings from synergies resulting from the acquisition. Accretion estimates are also based on preliminary intangible asset valuations and amortization assumptions under SFAS No. 142, which are subject to change. The transaction will be structured to allow Goodrich to deduct goodwill for tax purposes.

Merrill Lynch is serving as financial advisor to Goodrich for this transaction.

With 2001 aerospace sales of $4.2 billion, Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) is a leading worldwide supplier of aerospace components, systems and services. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Goodrich is ranked by Fortune magazine as one of the “Most Admired” aerospace companies and is included on Forbes magazine’s “Platinum List” of America’s best big companies.
