In connection with its previously announced spin-off of KLX Inc. (“KLX”), B/E Aerospace, Inc. (“B/E Aerospace” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BEAV) today announced that it has been informed by NASDAQ about the certain key dates relating to trading in common stock of KLX and B/E Aerospace in connection with the spin-off. As previously announced, the record date for the distribution of KLX common stock to B/E Aerospace shareholders will be the close of business on Friday, December 5, 2014, and the distribution date will be December 16, 2014.

Starting on Wednesday, December 3, 2014, there will be a when-issued market in KLX common stock under the ticker symbol “KLXIV.” This when-issued market will continue until regular-way trading in KLX common stock begins under the ticker symbol “KLXI” on December 17, 2014, the first trading day after the distribution date.

Also starting on Wednesday, December 3, 2014, there will be two markets in B/E Aerospace common stock: a “regular-way” market and an “ex-distribution” market:

  • Regular way market. Shares of B/E Aerospace common stock that trade on the regular-way market under B/E Aerospace’s current ticker symbol “BEAV” will trade with an entitlement to shares of KLX common stock distributed in the distribution through December 16, 2014.
  • Ex-distribution market. Shares of B/E Aerospace common stock that trade on the ex-distribution market will trade under the ticker symbol “BEAVV” without an entitlement to shares of KLX common stock distributed in the distribution. The last day of trading in the ex-distribution market will be December 16, 2014.

B/E Aerospace received this information from NASDAQ and is providing it as a convenience, but investors are urged to consult with their own financial advisers regarding the specific implications of buying or selling B/E Aerospace common stock on or before the distribution date.
