a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148; or &#147;<U>United Technologies</U>&#148;), Rockwell Collins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;<U>Rockwell Collins</U>&#148;), and Riveter Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (&#147;<U>Merger Sub</U>&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;<U>Merger Agreement</U>&#148;). The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of specified conditions, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Rockwell Collins (the &#147;<U>Merger</U>&#148;), with Rockwell Collins surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each share of Rockwell Collins&#146; common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the &#147;<U>Effective
Time</U>&#148;) (except for shares held by Rockwell Collins as treasury stock or held directly by the Company or Merger Sub, shares held by any wholly owned subsidiary of Rockwell Collins or the Company (other than Merger Sub), and shares held by a
holder who has properly exercised and perfected his or her demand for appraisal rights under Section&nbsp;262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder&#146;s rights to appraisal, which
in each case will be treated as described in the Merger Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive (1)&nbsp;$93.33 in cash, without interest, and (2)&nbsp;a portion of a share of the Company&#146;s common stock having a value equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing $46.67 by the average of the volume-weighted average prices per share of the Company common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the closing
date, subject to a two-way 7.5% collar (pursuant to which, if that measurement price is equal to or greater than $124.37, the stock consideration will be 0.37525 shares of Company common stock, and if that measurement price is equal to or less than
$107.01, the Stock Consideration will be 0.43613 shares of Company common stock) (together, the &#147;<U>Merger Consideration</U>&#148;), less any applicable withholding taxes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Rockwell Collins stock option will be canceled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration
in respect of each net option share subject to such option, less applicable tax withholding, with the number of net option shares calculated by subtracting from the total number of shares subject to such option a number of shares with a value equal
to the aggregate applicable exercise price. As of the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Rockwell Collins restricted stock award, and each Rockwell Collins restricted stock unit award, whether performance-based or time-based, granted prior to the
date of the Merger Agreement or to a non-employee director of Rockwell Collins, will become fully vested and be canceled as of the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Rockwell
Collins common stock subject to such award (with the number of shares subject to any performance-based restricted stock unit award deemed to be equal to the target number of shares), less applicable tax withholding. As of the Effective Time, each
then-outstanding Rockwell Collins restricted stock unit award, whether performance-based or time-based, granted on or after the date of the Merger Agreement will be assumed by the Company and converted into a time-based restricted stock unit award
of the Company with an equivalent value (as calculated in accordance with formula set forth in the Merger Agreement, and with any performance-based restricted stock unit award deemed to be achieved at target level). As of the Effective Time, each
then-outstanding Rockwell Collins deferred stock unit award that is payable by its terms upon the consummation of the Merger will be canceled in consideration for the right to receive (i)&nbsp;if payable in cash by its terms, a lump sum cash payment
equal to the product of the value of the Merger Consideration and the number of shares of Rockwell Collins common stock relating to such deferred stock unit award, less applicable tax withholding, or (ii)&nbsp;if payable in shares by its terms, the
Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Rockwell Collins common stock subject to such award, less applicable tax withholding. As of the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Rockwell Collins deferred stock unit award that is not payable by
its terms upon the consummation of the Merger will be assumed by the Company and converted into a deferred stock unit award of the Company with an equivalent value (as calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement).
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The cash portion of the Merger Consideration is expected to be financed with a combination of new debt and cash on the Company&#146;s balance sheet. The
Company entered into a commitment letter, dated as of September&nbsp;4, 2017, with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner&nbsp;&amp; Smith Incorporated, HSBC Bank USA, National Association and HSBC
Securities (USA) Inc., that provides a one-year commitment, subject to an extension to eighteen months under certain circumstances, for a $6.5 billion 364-day unsecured bridge loan facility. The Company is expected to assume approximately $7.3
billion of Rockwell Collins&#146; outstanding debt. </P>

regulatory approvals, (4)&nbsp;the absence of any order or law that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the completion of the Merger or resulting in the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Merger Agreement,
(5)&nbsp;the absence of a material adverse effect on Rockwell Collins and the Company and (6)&nbsp;the approval for listing of the shares of common stock of the Company forming part of the Merger Consideration on the New York Stock Exchange and the
effectiveness of a registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-4 with respect to such common stock. The completion of the Merger is not subject to the approval of the Company&#146;s shareowners or the receipt of financing by the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of Rockwell Collins, the Company and Merger Sub. Between the date of
execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, Rockwell Collins has agreed to conduct its and its subsidiaries&#146; business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and to comply with certain operating covenants,
and the Company has also agreed to comply with certain operating covenants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, Rockwell Collins has agreed not to, and not to authorize, and to
use reasonable best efforts not to permit, any of its representatives to initiate, seek, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any third-party acquisition proposals, and has agreed to certain restrictions on its and its
representatives&#146; ability to respond to any such proposals. Subject to certain exceptions, each of Rockwell Collins, the Company and Merger Sub has agreed to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be completed. The Merger Agreement
includes termination provisions for both the Company and Rockwell Collins and provides that, in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Rockwell Collins will be required to pay the Company a termination
fee of $695 million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement have been made only for the purposes of that agreement and solely for the
benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to
the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, as well as by information contained in each party&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (as well as those of B/E Aerospace, Inc., which was acquired
by Rockwell Collins on April&nbsp;13, 2017), and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. In addition, such representations and warranties (1)&nbsp;will not
survive completion of the Merger and cannot be the basis for any claims under the Merger Agreement by the other party after termination of the Merger Agreement, except as a result of fraud or an intentional breach, and (2)&nbsp;were made only as of
the dates specified in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual
information regarding the parties or their respective businesses. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Cautionary Statement </B></P>
