Purpose of Amendment

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (the “Schedule 14D-9”) of Breeze-Eastern Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 3, 2015. The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the tender offer by Hook Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 18, 2015, by and among Parent, Purchaser and the Company (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Shares”) at a purchase price of $19.61 per Company Share, net to the seller thereof in cash, subject to withholding of taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated December 3, 2015 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Offer”). The Offer is described in the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) filed by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on December 3, 2015.

Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 14D-9. This Amendment is being filed to reflect certain updates as reflected below.

Item 8. Additional Information.

Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

“The required waiting period under the HSR Act expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2015. On December 7, 2015, the FCO cleared the Offer and the Merger under the ARC. Accordingly, the Offer Condition relating to the expiration or termination of the HSR Act waiting period and obtaining other required regulatory approvals has been satisfied. The Offer remains subject to other conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.”
