Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The Board of Directors of Raytheon Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Neil Mitchill as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective April 7, 2021.  Mr. Mitchill succeeds Anthony O’Brien, who stepped down as Chief Financial Officer and separated from employment with the Company.

Mr. Mitchill, age 46, joined United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”), predecessor of the Company, in 2014 as Vice President, Global Financial Services.  In 2015, he was appointed Corporate Vice President, Controller, and in 2016 was named Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Pratt & Whitney.  In 2019, Mr. Mitchill was named acting Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of UTC prior to its merger with Raytheon Company (the “merger”).  Upon the closing of the merger, Mr. Mitchill became the Company’s Corporate Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations.  Prior to joining UTC, Mr. Mitchill was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, where he was the Hartford Products & Services Assurance Leader, providing assurance and business advisory services for global, industrial products companies.  He has over 20 years of finance experience, which includes technical accounting skills and experience on complex business transactions, as well as acquisitions and divestitures.  Mr. Mitchill holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accountancy from Providence College.

Mr. O’Brien’s separation from employment makes him eligible to receive certain separation payments and accelerated vesting of equity awards granted prior to the closing of the merger, in each case, pursuant to the previously disclosed terms of his Raytheon Company change in control arrangements.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On April 9, 2021, the Company issued a press release, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the changes to the Company’s leadership as well as its current expectations, based on preliminary financial information, of its sales and adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2021 relative to its previously-communicated outlook.
