INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on September 14, 2011 (the “Schedule TO”) in connection with the Company’s offer to purchase for cash any and all of the Company’s outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase, dated September 14, 2011 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal.

 

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 1. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO, or in the Offer to Purchase or the Letter of Transmittal. You should read this Amendment No. 1 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal.
