Item 8.01. Other Events.

On October 9, 2009, the Limited Tender Offers (as defined below) made by Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Textron"), and Textron Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron ("TFC" and together with Textron, the "Issuers") expired. The separate cash tender offers, including the Any and All Offer described below (collectively, the "Offers"), for up to $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of five separate series of outstanding debt securities (the "Securities") of the Issuers resulted in an aggregate of $587,303,000 principal amount of Securities of the Issuers being validly tendered and accepted for purchase. The Offers were made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated September 14, 2009 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal, dated September 14, 2009, which together set forth a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Offers.

The Offers consisted of five separate offers (each an "Offer"), with one Offer made and consummated by Textron to purchase any and all of its 4 1/2% Notes due August 1, 2010 (CUSIP number 883203BJ9) (the "4.5% Textron Securities") (such Offer is referred to as the "Any and All Offer"), one Offer made by Textron to purchase up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.500% Notes due June 1, 2012 (CUSIP Number 883203BH3) (the "6.5% Textron Securities") (such Offer is referred to as the "Textron Partial Tender Offer" and together with the Any and All Offer, the "Textron Offers"), two Offers made by TFC to purchase up to the Maximum Principal Amount to be Accepted described below of its outstanding 5.125% Medium-Term Notes, Series E (CUSIP Number 88319QJ20) (the "MTO Level 1 Securities") and its outstanding 4.60% Medium-Term Notes, Series E (CUSIP Number 88319QH22) (the "MTO Level 2 Securities") (such Offers are referred to as the "Maximum Tender Offers") and one Offer made by TFC to purchase up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6% Notes due 2009 (CUSIP Number 883199AQ4) (such Offer is referred to as the "TFC Partial Tender Offer" and collectively with the Textron Partial Tender Offer and the Maximum Tender Offers, the "Limited Tender Offers").

As previously announced, the Any and All Offer expired as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 21, 2009 and $122,318,000 aggregate principal amount of the 4.5% Textron Securities were tendered and accepted therein. The tender offer consideration of $1,017.50 per $1,000 principal amount of 4.5% Textron Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date (August 1, 2009) to, but not including, the settlement date, has been paid by Textron.

The Limited Tender Offers expired as of 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 9, 2009 (the "Limited Tender Offers Expiration Date"). The following table sets forth the Securities that were validly tendered and accepted in the Limited Tender Offers.

(1) The principal amount of MTO Level 2 Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the applicable Limited Tender Offer at or before 11:59
p.m. New York City time on the Limited Tender Offers Expiration Date exceeded the Maximum Principal Amount to be Accepted (as described below). As a result, the MTO Level 2 Securities accepted for purchase are subject to proration (rounded downward such that holders are returned MTO Level 2 Securities in integral multiples of $1,000) at a factor of approximately 33.25% of the MTO Level 2 Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The Maximum Principal Amount to be Accepted, in the case of TFC's offer for its MTO Level 2 Securities, was equal to the difference between $500,000,000 and the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of 4.5% Textron Securities and 6.5% Textron Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase by Textron in the Textron Offers and (y) the aggregate principal amount of MTO Level 1 Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase by TFC.
