Item 8.01.     Other Events.

Stock Split - General. As previously announced, on February 25, 2005, the Board of Directors of Harris Corporation (“Harris”) declared a two-for-one stock split (the “Stock Split”) to be effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend consisting of authorized but unissued shares of Harris common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”). Harris completed the Stock Split on March 30, 2005, by the distribution of one additional share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held by shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 14, 2005. As a result of the Stock Split, Harris issued 66,714,382 additional shares of Common Stock, increasing its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to 133,428,764. Harris has also adjusted correspondingly the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under its various equity-based agreements and compensation plans. A copy of a letter, dated March 30, 2005, sent to shareholders of record is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Convertible Debentures. The Stock Split has also resulted in the adjustment of the conversion ratio of Harris’ 3.5% Convertible Debentures due 2022 (the “Convertible Debentures”). A copy of a Notice of Adjustment of Conversion Rate (the “Notice”), which was delivered to the holders of the Convertible Debentures, is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference. As described in the Notice, the conversion rate for the Convertible Debentures as adjusted for the Stock Split is now 44.2404 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Debentures. Giving effect to this adjustment, the $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures is now convertible into 6,636,060 shares of Common Stock.

Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement. In accordance with the Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of December 6, 1996 (the “Rights Agreement”), between Harris and Mellon Investor Services, LLC (formerly known as ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, L.L.C.), as Rights Agent, each outstanding share of Common Stock (including the shares issued in the Stock Split) will continue to be accompanied by one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”). To reflect the Stock Split, effective on March 30, 2005, the exercise price of a Right was reduced from $125 per Right to $62.50 per Right. The Rights Agreement was filed as Exhibit 1 to Harris’ Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6, 1996. Reference is made to the Rights Agreement for a more complete description of the terms of the Rights. A copy of the Certificate of Adjustment, dated as of March 22, 2005, delivered by Harris to the Rights Agent and setting forth the required adjustment to the exercise price of a Right is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this Item 8.01 by reference.

Restated Diluted Net Income Per Share. Attached as Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is unaudited diluted net income per share information for Harris restated to give retroactive effect to the Stock Split for the following previously completed fiscal periods: (i) fiscal years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004; (ii) each quarter of fiscal 2004; and (iii) each of the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 and for the two quarters ended December 31, 2004.
