The transaction merges Rockwell Collins’ capabilities in flight deck avionics, cabin electronics, mission communications, simulation and training, and information management systems with B/E Aerospace's range of cabin interior products, which include seating, food and beverage preparation and storage equipment, lighting and oxygen systems, and modular galley and lavatory systems for commercial airliners and business jets.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Collins will assume $1.9 billion in net debt and each B/E Aerospace shareowner will receive total consideration of $62.00 per share, comprised of $34.10 per share in cash and $27.90 in shares of Rockwell Collins common stock, subject to a 7.5% collar.  Upon completion of the transaction, which is expected in the spring of 2017, current B/E Aerospace shareowners will own approximately 20% of the combined company.
