SECTION 5 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

ITEM 5.02    DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On May 1, 2014, Glenn Coleman resigned as Vice President, Controller and Principal Accounting Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Mr. Coleman indicated that his decision to resign was to pursue another opportunity, and not due to any disagreement with the Company or concerns relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.


SECTION 8 - OTHER EVENTS

ITEM 8.01    OTHER EVENTS

As a result of certain organizational changes in 2014, the Corporation revised its reportable segments to align to the major markets it currently serves: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Energy.  We are issuing this 8-K to release supplemental financial information by reportable segment for each of the prior year quarterly reporting periods and for the year-ended 2013. The following financial information for 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  This information will be available on the investor relations section of the Corporation’s website. The change in reportable segments did not impact the Corporation's previously reported Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
