HEICO Corporation Shares Begin Post-Split Trading

MIAMI and HOLLYWOOD, Fla., April 19, 2017 -- HEICO Corporation (NYSE:HEI.A) (NYSE:HEI) today reported that all shares of both its Class A Common Stock and its Common Stock will commence trading today on a “post-split” basis to reflect the Company’s previously announced 5-for-4 stock split.  Accordingly, the prices of both the Class A Common Stock and the Common Stock will automatically be adjusted downward by 25% from the New York Stock Exchange closing price on April 18, 2017 for the split at the opening of New York Stock Exchange trading this morning.

The split is effective April 19, 2017 to shareholders of record on April 7, 2017.  Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

After giving effect to the stock split, the Company will have approximately 50.5 million shares of Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) outstanding and 33.7 million shares of Common Stock (HEI) outstanding.  Both classes, the Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) and the Common Stock (HEI), are virtually identical in all economic respects.  The only difference between the share classes is the voting rights.  The Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) receives 1/10 vote per share and the Common Stock (HEI) receives one vote per share.  The stock symbols for HEICO's two classes of common stock on most web sites are HEI.A and HEI.  However, some web sites change HEICO's Class A Common Stock stock symbol (HEI.A) to HEI/A or HEIa.
