ITEM 8.01. — Other Events.
On December 6, 2016, L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it will change its name to L3 Technologies, Inc. effective December 31, 2016.
The name change will occur in connection with an internal reorganization to eliminate the Company's holding company structure.  The reorganization was approved by shareholders at the Company's 2016 annual meeting held on May 3, 2016, and is expected to be consummated on December 31, 2016.
Pursuant to the reorganization, the Company will be merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, L-3 Communications Corporation (the "Merger"), with the subsidiary being the surviving entity in the merger (the "Surviving Entity").  Immediately thereafter on December 31, 2016, the name of the Surviving Entity will be changed to L3 Technologies, Inc. as described above (the "Name Change").
As a result of the Merger and the Name Change, all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will automatically be converted into the same number of shares of common stock of L3 Technologies, Inc., as the Surviving Entity, with economic, voting and other rights that are substantially identical.
The common stock of L3 Technologies, Inc. will commence trading effective January 3, 2017 (the first trading day of 2017) on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "LLL", the same ticker symbol currently used by the Company.
A copy of the press release announcing the Name Change is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
