New York, New York

Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it is investigating the acquisition of Exelis, Inc. (NYSE: “XLS”) (“Exelis” or the “Company”) on behalf of its shareholders. Harris Corporation and Exelis announced a definitive agreement under which Harris will acquire Exelis in a cash and stock transaction valued at $23.75 per share. Under the terms of the transaction, Exelis shareholders will receive $16.625 in cash and 0.1025 of a share of Harris common stock, based on Harris’ closing price as of February 5, 2015, for each share of Exelis common stock. Upon closing, Harris shareholders will own approximately 85 percent of the combined company, and Exelis shareholders will own approximately 15 percent.

Our investigation will determine whether the offer price of only $23.75 per share unfairly under-values the true going forward inherent value of the Company and whether shareholders are receiving the maximum value for their shares. Indeed, among other things, the transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to Harris in the first full year and a significant contributor thereafter. Harris has identified estimated net pre-tax cost synergies from the combination in a range of $100 million to $120 million, with savings expected to achieve annual run-rate in year three.
