Chris Kubasik, CEO of L3Harris and a three-time Wash100 Award winner, noted the company has moved a step closer to wrapping up the acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE: AJRD) after receiving favorable advice from the Federal Trade Commission.
“We were advised today that the FTC will not block our acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne; therefore, we are moving forward to close the transaction on or about July 28,” he said in a letter to investors.
Shares in L3Harris went up 0.50 percent Wednesday to close at $202.56.
