Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 13, 2013, with agreement by Intermec, Inc. (“Intermec”), Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) withdrew the notification to the European Commission (“EC”) of its proposed acquisition of Intermec. Honeywell intends to re-submit its notification to the EC in relation to this transaction shortly. The provisional date for a decision from the EC will be 25 working days following the submission of the revised notification.

Intermec intends to continue to work cooperatively with Honeywell and the EC in connection with the EC’s review. Completion of the transaction remains subject to Intermec stockholder approval, regulatory approvals (including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and EC approval), and other customary closing conditions.

Intermec continues to expect that the transaction will close by the end of the second quarter of 2013.

Important Additional Information about the Merger Transaction

Intermec filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a definitive proxy statement in connection with the proposed merger transaction with Honeywell on February 14, 2013. This current report is not a substitute for the definitive proxy statement (including any supplements or amendments thereto) and other documents related to the merger transaction. The definitive proxy statement and any other documents that may be filed with the SEC related to the merger transaction or incorporated by reference into the definitive proxy statement contain important information about Intermec, Honeywell, the merger transaction and related matters. Investors and security holders are urged to carefully read the definitive proxy statement and any other documents that may be filed with the SEC related to the merger transaction or incorporated by reference into the definitive proxy statement. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of those documents filed with the SEC by Intermec through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by contacting Intermec at (425) 348 - 2600.

Certain information regarding these persons and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is contained in the definitive proxy statement and may be contained in other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the merger transaction when they become available. Additional information regarding Intermec’s executive officers and directors is included in Intermec’s definitive proxy statement for 2012, which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2012, and other relevant documents filed with the SEC.
