On September 16, 2007, James M. Smith, Frederic B. Bassett, Lisa M. Palumbo and Patricia D. Comiskey, who collectively beneficially own approximately 3.23% of the voting power of the Company, each entered into a Shareholder Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreements”) with ITT, pursuant to which such shareholders agreed, among other things, to vote their common shares of the Company in favor of the Merger and the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, and a form of the Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement described above contains representations and warranties that the parties have made to each other as of specific dates. Except for their status as contractual documents that establish and govern the legal relations among the parties to the transaction described therein, the Merger Agreement described above is not intended to be sources of factual, business or operational information about any of the parties thereto. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement described above were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed between those parties, including being qualified by disclosures between the parties. The representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement may have been made to allocate risks among the parties thereto. Furthermore, those representations and warranties may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as accurate or complete or characterizations of the actual state of facts as of any specified date since they are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules and are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On September 17, 2007, the Company and ITT issued a joint press release to announce the entry into the Merger Agreement. A copy of the joint press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Information

In connection with the Merger, the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a preliminary proxy statement and a definitive proxy statement. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to the shareholders of the Company. Shareholders of the Company are urged to read the proxy statement relating to the Merger and other relevant materials (when they become available) because such materials will contain important information about the Merger and the Company.

On April 30, 2007, the Company filed with the SEC and mailed to its shareholders a definitive proxy statement in connection with its 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, which was held on June 12, 2007. Shareholders of the Company are urged to read the definitive proxy statement relating to the 2007 annual meeting because it contains important information.

Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statements and any other relevant documents (when they become available) that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. The definitive proxy statements and any other relevant documents (when they become available) may be accessed at www.edocorp.com or obtained free from the Company by directing a request to EDO Corporation, ATTN: Investor Relations, 60 East 42nd Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10165.

Certain Information Regarding Participants

The Company, its directors and named executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger. Shareholders may obtain information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of such individuals in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”), which was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2007. To the extent holdings of the Company’s equity securities have changed since the amounts reflected in the 2006 Form 10-K, such changes have been reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC.
