Item 7.01      Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is furnished under this Item 7.01, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that is furnished under this Item 7.01, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On January 27, 2017, Harris Corporation (“Harris” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it signed a definitive agreement to sell its government IT services business to an affiliate of Veritas Capital for $690 million in cash. The transaction is subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close before the end of Harris' fiscal 2017. Harris intends to use the proceeds from the transaction to support its capital allocation strategy, including pension pre-funding and share repurchases. Harris expects the benefit from the use of cash proceeds and restructuring actions related to its pending divestiture of its government IT services business and its recently completed divestiture of its Harris CapRock Communications commercial business to result in net dilution for its fiscal 2018 in a range of $0.10 to $0.15 per diluted share. The full text of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
