On July 11, 2011, ITT Corporation (“ITT”) issued a press release announcing in connection with its previously announced plan to pursue a separation into three distinct, publicly traded companies that Form 10 Registration Statements have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for ITT WCO, Inc. (“WCO”), ITT’s water-related businesses (the “WCO Form 10”) and ITT DCO, Inc. (“DCO”), ITT’s Defense & Information Solutions segment (the “DCO Form 10”).

The WCO Form 10 contains a preliminary information statement that includes detailed information about WCO as a standalone company, including, among other things, historical financial information for WCO and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation. The preliminary information statement also includes a description of WCO’s business and strategy, its management and their compensation, and other legal and financial disclosures, including risk factors. In addition, the preliminary information statement contains certain information relating to the mechanics of, and conditions to, a proposed spin-off of WCO. The preliminary information statement is incomplete and subject to change, and ITT reserves the right not to complete the separation of WCO.

The DCO Form 10 contains a preliminary information statement that includes detailed information about DCO as a standalone company, including, among other things, historical financial information for DCO and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation.

In addition, the preliminary information statement contains certain information relating to the mechanics of, and conditions to, a proposed spin-off of DCO. The preliminary information statement is incomplete and subject to change, and ITT reserves the right not to complete the separation of DCO.
