Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing |
Mr. Dudley Sheffler, a director of TransDigm Group Incorporated (the Company), died unexpectedly on February 11, 2010. Mr. Sheffler had been a member of the audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, with Mr. Sean Hennessy and Mr. Douglas Peacock serving as the other members of the committee. As a result of Mr. Shefflers death, on February 19, 2010 the Company received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual which requires that audit committees be comprised of at least three independent directors. On February 22, 2010, the Companys Board of Directors approved the selection of Michael Graff, an existing eligible director, as a new member of the audit committee to replace Mr. Sheffler. The Company is, therefore, now in compliance with the requirement of Section 303A.07(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
