Item 5.07

A special meeting of stockholders of Intermec, Inc. (“Intermec”) was held on March 19, 2013 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, Intermec’s stockholders approved the proposal to adopt the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 9, 2012, by and among Intermec, Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”), and Hawkeye Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Intermec, as a result of which Intermec would become 100% owned by Honeywell. The stockholders of Intermec also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the “golden parachute” compensation payments that will or may be paid by Intermec to its named executive officers in connection with the merger. Intermec stockholders also voted to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement; adjournment of the Special Meeting was not necessary because there were sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement.

At the Special Meeting, holders of 47,807,685 shares of Intermec’s common stock, which represents approximately 79% of the shares of Intermec’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of January 25, 2013, were represented in person or by proxy.

The final voting results for each proposal, each of which is described in greater detail in Intermec’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2013, follow below:
