     This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) further amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed on October 16, 2007 (the “Schedule TO”), as amended on October 18, 2007, October 26, 2007 and November 13, 2007, by Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Textron”), and Marco Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Textron, relating to the offer by Purchaser, to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”), of United Industrial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, at a price of $81.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 16, 2007 and annexed to and filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO (the “Offer to Purchase”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal.

 

     This Amendment No. 4 is the final amendment to the Schedule TO and, in accordance with Instruction H of the General Instructions to Schedule TO, constitutes Textron’s and Purchaser’s disclosure under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the Shares Purchaser acquires in the Offer.

 

     The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase is incorporated by reference to all the items of this Amendment No. 4.  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 4 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

 

     The items of the Schedule TO (as previously amended) set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Item 11. Additional Information.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO (as previously amended) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

 

     “The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Tuesday, November 13, 2007.  All of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied.  Accordingly, on November 14, 2007, Purchaser accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to expiration of the Offer (including all Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), and payment for such Shares will be made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.  The Depositary for the Offer has advised Textron and Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of approximately 10,037,504 Shares were validly tendered to Purchaser and not withdrawn (including approximately 2,071,281 Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery), representing approximately 100% of the Shares outstanding.  Shares tendered through notices of guaranteed delivery are required to be delivered to Purchaser by Friday, November 16, 2007.

 

     Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Textron expects to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser with and into UIC in the next several days, without the need for a vote or meeting of UIC stockholders.  Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding Share not tendered and purchased in the Offer, if any (other than Shares held in the treasury of UIC, owned by Textron, Purchaser or any subsidiary of Textron or UIC, or held by stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) will by virtue of the Merger, and without action by the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the $81.00 per Share without interest and less any required withholding taxes.  As a result of the Merger, UIC will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Textron.

 

     Textron has entered into a loan agreement with UIC to fund UIC’s settlement of any of UIC’s 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 that are surrendered for conversion in cash.

 

     On November 14, 2007, Textron issued a press release announcing the successful completion of the Offer.  The full text of the press release issued by Textron is set forth as Exhibit (a)(1)(J) hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.”
