Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 17, 2007, in connection with the previously announced proposed acquisition of Aviation Technologies, Inc., TransDigm Group Incorporated issued a press release relating to a proposed offering of $250 million principal amount of senior subordinated notes by TransDigm Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and certain related financing transactions. As required by Rule 135c under the Securities Act, the press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The senior subordinated notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Neither the press release nor this Current Report on Form 8-K constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the senior subordinated notes, nor shall there be any sale of the senior subordinated notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
