On October 1, 2016, Trimble Navigation Limited (the “Company”) changed its name to Trimble Inc. and changed its state of incorporation from the State of California to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at its 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.

Certificates previously issued for shares in Trimble Navigation Limited, the California corporation, automatically represent shares in Trimble Inc., the Delaware corporation, and stockholders are not required to exchange stock certificates as a result of the Reincorporation.
