Appointment of Leader of Space & Mission Systems and Communications & Spectrum Dominance Segments
On March 12, 2026, L3Harris Technologies, Inc. (“L3Harris” or the “Company”) announced that Mr. Sam Mehta has been appointed President, Space & Mission Systems and Communications & Spectrum Dominance, effective March 16, 2026 (the “Effective Date”). The company expects to continue reporting financial results for each of its three segments separately, consistent with its previously announced structure.
Mr. Mehta, 53, has served as President of L3Harris’ Space & Mission Systems segment since January 3, 2026, and served as President of L3Harris’ Communication Systems segment beginning in 2023. Before joining L3Harris, Mr. Mehta served as President, Advanced Structures, with Collins Aerospace, an RTX subsidiary from 2018 to 2022. Prior to RTX, Mr. Mehta spent over 17 years with Sikorsky Aircraft, most recently serving as President, Defense Systems and Services.
On March 9, 2026, in connection with this appointment, L3Harris’ Compensation Committee approved the following changes in Mr. Mehta’s compensation in recognition of his significantly expanded scope of responsibilities: an annual base salary of $990,000, and an increase in annual equity compensation, in the form of a one-time grant of restricted stock units valued at $1,000,000, with terms and conditions consistent with his existing annual-cycle grants.
Other than the foregoing, there were no changes to Mr. Mehta’s compensation arrangements, and his appointment was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with respect to any other person. In addition, there are no family relationships between Mr. Mehta and any director or other executive officer of L3Harris and there are no related persons transactions between L3Harris and Mr. Mehta reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On March 6, 2026, Jonathan Rambeau, currently President of the Communications & Spectrum Dominance segment, notified the Company of his departure to pursue external opportunities, effective March 15, 2026.
