 Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 1, 2003, Moog Inc. (the "Company") redeemed and retired all of its outstanding 10% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes"). The Notes, having a principal amount of $120 million, were repurchased pursuant to an early redemption right at par. Interest was paid on the Notes through the redemption date. The trustee for the Notes was the U.S. Bank Trust National Association.

The Notes were redeemed using proceeds drawn on the Company's Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility, which was amended on March 3, 2003, provides for a $315 million revolving credit facility and a $75 million term loan, which replaced the previous $265 million revolving credit facility and a term loan facility with a remaining balance of $41.25 million. The Credit Facility expires on March 31, 2008 and interest is based on LIBOR plus a spread that was 175 basis points as of March 3, 2003. After retirement of the Notes, there is approximately $100 million of unused borrowing capacity on the Credit Facility.
