Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management

ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 5, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of each of L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. and L-3 Communications Corporation (together, the “Company”) elected General (Ret.) Ann E. Dunwoody to serve as a director of the Company. The Company expects General (Ret.) Dunwoody to stand for election at the annual meeting of shareholders in May 2014.

General (Ret.) Dunwoody’s compensation for her services as a director will be consistent with that of the Company’s other non-employee directors, except that her compensation will be prorated to reflect the portion of the year remaining until the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. Accordingly, she will receive the pro rata portion of the annual board member retainer for service on the Board (currently $106,000 per year), which she may elect to receive in cash, the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof. General (Ret.) Dunwoody will also receive the pro rata portion of the Company’s annual board member equity award of restricted stock units (currently based on a grant date fair value of $120,000 per year).

Other than the standard compensation arrangements described above, there are no arrangements or understandings between General (Ret.) Dunwoody and any other person pursuant to which she was elected as a director. General (Ret.) Dunwoody is not a party to any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. issued a press release on June 5, 2013, announcing the election of General (Ret.) Dunwoody. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
