    For Immediate Release U.S. DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR APPROVES SOLARRESERVE’S 110 MEGAWATT NEVADA SOLAR POWER PROJECT Project to use advanced US-developed technology with integrated energy storage, construction scheduled to begin mid-2011 SANTA MONICA, Calif., December 20, 2010 – Today, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar approved the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project located in Nye County near Tonopah, Nevada. With this authorization, SolarReserve, a U.S. developer of utility-scale solar power projects, is preparing to begin construction on the plant in mid-2011, with some long-lead equipment already in manufacturing. The project will generate approximately 450 direct jobs and more than 4,000 indirect and induced jobs during construction, as well as 50 permanent operations and maintenance jobs for the region. In addition, the project has an annual operating budget estimated at more than $5.0 million, much of it expected to be spent locally, with the project forecasted to generate $40 million in sales and property tax revenues over the project’s operating period. “Crescent Dunes joins a host of renewable energy projects on public lands in the West that are opening a new chapter on how our nation is powered,” said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar in signing the Record of Decision. “Using American ingenuity, we are creating jobs, stimulating local economies and spurring a sustainable, clean energy industrial base that will strengthen our nation’s energy security.” SolarReserve will utilize advanced solar energy technology developed in the United States by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOLARRESERVE REACHES MAJOR CONSTRUCTION MILESTONE IN COMPLETING TOWER FOR WORLD’S LARGEST MOLTEN SALT SOLAR TOWER PLANT Nevada project represents leading solar thermal technology worldwide – integrated energy storage provides predictable and zero-emissions electricity day or night to meet peak demands SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 9, 2012 – SolarReserve, a U.S. developer of large-scale solar power projects, today announced completion of the 540-foot solar power tower for its 110 megawatt (MW) Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Plant located near Tonopah, Nev. Utilizing the most advanced solar thermal technology worldwide, the Crescent Dunes Plant will be the nation’s first commercial-scale solar power facility with fully integrated energy storage and the largest power plant of its kind in the world. “Completion of the solar power tower is a significant milestone not only for SolarReserve and our plant, but also for the solar energy industry as a whole. This project is on track to bring American innovation to fruition and is already creating jobs,” said Kevin Smith, CEO of SolarReserve. “Our U.S.-developed technology has the ability to store energy for 10-15 hours and solves the issue of intermittent power generation to the grid, the number one limitation to other solar and wind renewable energy technologies. We can deliver electricity ‘on demand’ the same way a coal, natural gas or nuclear fueled plant does – but without emitting any harmful pollution or hazardous materials – providing a genuine alternative to conventional power generation.” The flagship project is jointly owned by SolarReserve, ACS Cobra, a worldwide leader in the engineering and construction of power plants and solar thermal facilities, and Santander, a global financial services and banking leader.

    CASE STUDY: Energy Efficiency FARMINGTON, CONNECTICUT Is Good For Business United Technologies Corporation Connecticut Facilities Pacing Ahead y 2018, United Technologies Corporation’s (UTC) 15 Connecticut facilities have the goal to reduce energy consumption 15 percent, Bsaving an estimated 54 million kilowatt-hours of power over a three-year period—equivalent to powering more than 6,000 homes with electricity for a year. UTC estimates the energy-savings measures will save the company $1.1-$2.3 million in annual operating expenses, improving its global competitiveness and Renovated open floor space design with bottom line. To achieve a 15 percent reduction over three years, UTC’s annual state-of-the-art building controls and target ratchets up by two percent a year. LED lighting Eversource invited UTC into the strategic alliance because “utilities get the biggest bang for the buck by working with industrial partners. Each year we earn enhanced incentives based on annual targets, and that results in an annual bonus dividend from the utility,” West said. “͞The incentives from this collaboration will enable UTC to further invest in industrial efficiency projects.” “At UTC, we know “This agreement supports UTC’s long-running efforts to understand how much that sustainability energy we use and where we use it, in order to identify significant energy savings opportunities,” said Sean West, Program Manager for Environment, works, and is a Health and Safety at UTC. “Our long-term goal is to apply what we’ve learned smart business and through our agreement with Eversource to our facilities around the world.” environmental decision.

UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION Deck Type: Antitrust and ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., Defendants. COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT Plaintiff United States of America (“United States”), pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act (“APPA” or “Tunney Act”), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING On September 4, 2017, Defendants United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”) and Rockwell Collins, Inc. (“Rockwell Collins”) entered into an agreement whereby UTC proposes to acquire Rockwell Collins for approximately $30 billion. The United States filed a civil antitrust Complaint against UTC and Rockwell Collins on October 1, 2018, seeking to enjoin the proposed acquisition. The Complaint alleges that the proposed acquisition likely would substantially lessen competition in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18, in the worldwide markets for the development, manufacture, and sale of pneumatic ice protection Case 1:18-cv-02279-RC Document 13 Filed 10/10/18 Page 2 of 24 systems for fixed-wing aircraft (“aircraft”) and trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (“THSAs”) for large aircraft. That loss of competition likely would result in increased prices, less favorable contractual terms, and decreased innovation in the markets for these products. Concurrent with the filing of the Complaint, the United States filed a Hold Separate Stipulation and Order (“Hold Separate”) and proposed Final Judgment, which are designed to eliminate the anticompetitive effects that would have resulted from UTC’s acquisition of Rockwell Collins.
