Clayton M. Jones, Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rockwell Collins, Inc. (the “Company”), is retiring from the Company’s Board of Directors effective July 31, 2014. This is the date contemplated by the Transition and Consulting Agreement that Mr. Jones entered into with the Company when he retired as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on July 31, 2013. This retirement from the Board was not due to any disagreement on any matter relating to Rockwell Collins’ operations, policies, or practices. Effective August 1, 2014, Mr. Jones will commence serving as consultant for a two-year period pursuant to the Transition and Consulting Agreement. On June 27, 2014 the Board of Directors reduced the size of the Board to nine effective upon Mr. Jones’ retirement from the Board.
Effective August 1, 2014, Anthony J. Carbone will commence serving as the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman. In light of this appointment of an independent director as Non-Executive Chairman, the Company does not intend to appoint a successor to Mr. Carbone as Lead Independent Director. Mr. Carbone will no longer serve on the Compensation Committee. Ralph E. Eberhart, a current member of the Compensation Committee, will succeed Mr. Carbone as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.
The Company’s press release announcing this change is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
