On August 13, 2004, our client Eastman Kodak sold its Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) business to ITT Industries, Inc. for $725 million in cash. The acquisition significantly broadens ITT Industries' well-established space payload and service product offering for US military as well as other government, commercial and scientific customers. The RSS business is a leading supplier of high-resolution satellite imaging systems and information services. The combination of the two businesses will create a full-spectrum satellite payload provider with the latest visible and infrared satellite imaging technology to serve the $6 billion remote sensing market.

ITT Industries, Inc. is a $6 billion global multi-industry company that supplies advanced technology products and services in key markets including: fluid and water management including water treatment; defense communication, opto-electronics, information technology and services; electronic interconnects and switches; and other specialty products. RSS is the third significant strategic acquisition completed by ITT Industries in 2004, following the company's long-held strategy of acquiring companies within or adjacent to its existing strong core businesses.
