Item 21.~~02 Results~~01 Entry into ofa ~~Operations~~Material ~~and~~Definitive ~~Financial Condition~~Agreement.

~~On March 8, 2009, the registrant~~Agreement ~~reported its results of operations for the three~~ and ~~twelve~~Plan ~~months ended December 31, 2008. A copy~~ of ~~the press release issued by the registrant is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1~~Merger

On April 3, 2009, Limco-Piedmont Inc., a Delaware corporation ( the “Company” or “Limco”), TAT Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company ( “TAT”), and LIMC Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of TAT (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Limco and Limco shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of TAT (the “Merger”). TAT presently owns 61.8% of Limco’s common stock.

The Merger Agreement and the Merger were unanimously approved by a Special Committee of Limco’s Board of Directors composed entirely of independent directors, and were subsequently unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of arms-length negotiations between representatives of TAT and the Special Committee.

At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Limco’s common stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive five tenths (.5) of an ordinary share of TAT. At the effective time of the Merger, all options to purchase Limco common stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will terminate.

Limco’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market until the completion of the Merger. Following the completion of the Merger, Limco’s common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the Merger, holders of Limco common stock will receive ordinary shares of TAT which are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “TATTF” and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. It is anticipated that immediately following the effective time of the Merger, ordinary shares of TAT will commence trading on the NASDAQ Global Market.

Based on the number of shares of Limco common stock and TAT ordinary shares outstanding on March 31, 2009, immediately after the effective time of the merger, former Limco public stockholders will own TAT ordinary shares representing approximately 27.8% of the then-outstanding TAT ordinary shares.

Completion of the Merger is conditioned upon the satisfaction (or waiver if legally permissible) of a number of conditions, including, among others the effectiveness of TAT’s registration statement on Form F-4 and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Limco. TAT holds 61.8% of the shares of Limco’s outstanding common stock and has advised Limco’s board that it intends to vote for approval and adoption of the merger. Accordingly, such approval and adoption is assured.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time, prior to the effective time of the merger (notwithstanding any approval by Limco’s stockholders), by mutual written consent of TAT and Limco, or as follows:

·	by either TAT or Limco if, among other things:

·	the merger has not been completed by September 30, 2009; or

·	the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Limco’s stockholders has not been obtained; or

·	any legal requirement or final and non-appealable injunction prohibits the consummation of the merger,

by TAT if Limco breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, such that the applicable closing conditions for TAT to effect the merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement would not be satisfied and such breach is not cured (if curable) within 30 days of delivery of written notice by TAT to Limco of Limco’s breach (so long as TAT is not itself in breach of the any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements so as to cause the applicable closing conditions for Limco to effect the merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied); or

by Limco if TAT breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements, such that the applicable closing conditions for Limco to effect the merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement would not be satisfied and such breach is not cured (if curable) within 30 days of delivery of written notice by Limco to TAT of TAT’s breach (so long as Limco is not itself in breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements so as to cause the applicable closing conditions for TAT to effect the merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement not to be satisfied).

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties made by Limco relating to, among other things: organization, good standing organizational documents; capital structure of Limco; SEC filings, financial statements, absence of liabilities; absence of certain changes; intellectual property rights; title to assets and property; material contracts; compliance with legal requirements; legal proceedings and orders; governmental authorizations; tax matters; employee benefit plans; labor matters; environmental matters; insurance; authority of Limco related to the Merger Agreement; required stockholder vote; conflicts, required filings and consents; and payment of fees to brokers.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by TAT and Merger Sub relating to, among other things: organization and good standing; organizational documents; capital structure of TAT; SEC filings, financial statements; absence of liabilities; absence of certain changes; intellectual property rights; title to assets and properties; material contracts; compliance with legal requirements; legal proceedings and orders; governmental authorizations; tax matters, employee benefit plans, labor matters, environmental matters, insurance; authority of TAT related to the Merger Agreement; conflicts, required filings and consents; payment of fees to brokers; and operation of merger sub.

Many of the representations of Limco, TAT and Merger Sub are qualified by materiality, knowledge or a material adverse effect standard.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the parties agreed, during the period from the execution of the Merger Agreement until the effective time of the merger (or, if earlier, until the termination date) (the “Pre-Closing Period”), it and its subsidiaries will conduct their business in all material respects only in the ordinary course and to use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with past practice to:

·	preserve its business organization intact and maintain its existing relations and goodwill with customers, suppliers, distributors, creditors, lessors, officers, employees, business associates and consultants;

·	maintain and keep its material properties and assets in good repair and condition;

·	maintain in effect all material governmental permits pursuant to which it currently operates; and

·	maintain and enforce all material intellectual property rights.

In addition, Limco agreed during the Pre-Closing Period, not to (and not to permit its subsidiaries), without TAT’s prior written consent:

·	amend its organizational documents except for such amendments that would not prevent or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

·	split, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of capital stock without adjusting the merger consideration;

·	declare, set aside or pay any dividend payable in cash, stock or property in respect of any capital stock; or

·	adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation or dissolution.

TAT agreed during the Pre-Closing Period, not to (and not to permit its subsidiaries), without Limco’s prior written consent:

·	amend its organizational documents except for such amendments that would not prevent or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

·	split, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of capital stock without adjusting the merger consideration;

·	declare, set aside or pay any dividend payable in cash, stock or property in respect of any capital stock; or

·	adopt a plan of complete or partial liquidation or dissolution.
