Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the special meeting of shareholders of Goodrich Corporation (the “Company”) held on March 13, 2012, shareholders approved (i) the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 21, 2011, by and among the Company, United Technologies Corporation and Charlotte Lucas Corporation, and (ii) the proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation to be paid to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger.

On February 6, 2012, the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting, 125,798,934 common shares of the Company were issued and outstanding. The holders of 95,151,100 common shares of the Company were present at the special meeting, either in person or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum. Set forth below are the final voting results for each of the proposals.

Proposal 1. Adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.

     1,005,702         93,036   

Proposal 2. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation to be paid to the Company’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the merger.

 

For

   Against      Abstain  

78,237,748

     13,368,960         3,544,392   

Since there were sufficient votes represented at the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement, the proposal to adjourn the special meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies to adopt the merger agreement was moot and therefore not presented or voted on.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 13, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing shareholder adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
