Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On April 3, 2020, United Technologies Corporation (UTC) completed the previously announced separation of its business into three independent, publicly traded companies – UTC, Carrier Global Corporation (Carrier) and Otis Worldwide Corporation (Otis) (such separations, the “Separation Transactions”). UTC distributed all of the outstanding shares of Carrier common stock and all of the outstanding shares of Otis common stock to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date for the distributions (the Distributions) effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 3, 2020. On April 3, 2020, following the completion of the Separation Transactions and the Distributions, UTC and Raytheon Company completed their previously announced all-stock merger of equals transaction (the “Raytheon Merger”). Upon closing of the Raytheon Merger, UTC changed its name to “Raytheon Technologies Corporation.”

Raytheon Technologies’ common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “RTX.” There were approximately 45,151 registered shareowners at January 29, 2021. The information required by Item 5 with respect to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is incorporated herein by reference to the section of our Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareowners titled “Approve Amendment to the Raytheon Technologies Corporation 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan.”
