United Technologies Corporation (UTX)’s board of directors is planned to meet later this week to review options for its $8 billion Sikorsky aircraft business after receiving offers for it, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
UTC is considering two potential tax-efficient transactions for Sikorsky: either a spin-off or a combination with peer Textron Inc, which presented an offer for Sikorsky earlier this month, the people said.
The merger between Textron and Sikorsky could be structured as a Reverse Morris Trust (RMT), a transaction that allows a parent company to sell its partner while avoiding a hefty tax bill.
Alternatively, UTC may decide to sell Sikorsky outright to another company. Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co are among those that have expressed interest in a potential deal, according to the sources.
United Technologies Corporation provides technology products and services to building systems and aerospace industries worldwide. Its Otis segment designs, manufactures, sells, and installs passenger and freight elevators, escalators, and moving walkways; modernization products to upgrade elevators and escalators; and maintenance and repair services.

Amarin Corporation plc (ADR) (NASDAQ:AMRN), ended its Tuesday’s trading session with -4.82% loss, and closed at $2.37.
Amarin Corporation plc (ADR) (AMRN) declared the presentation of findings from a new in vitro study at a peer-reviewed poster session at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in Boston, Massachusetts.
The poster, titled “Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) Reduces Glucose-induced Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein Oxidation In Vitro in a Manner Distinct from Other Triglyceride-Lowering Agents and Vitamin E,” presents data that shows exposure to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 fatty acid, inhibited glucose-induced oxidation of small dense LDL. This study examined the effects of EPA and other triglyceride-lowering agents on human sdLDL oxidation following exposure in vitro to hyperglycemic conditions. Exposure to hyperglycemic conditions resulted in a 55% enhance in human sdLDL oxidation as contrast to non-glucose-treated controls as measured by a marker of oxidation (malondialdehyde (MDA)). EPA inhibited this glucose-induced sdLDL oxidation in a dose-dependent fashion and, at the highest concentration tested (10.0 µM), EPA inhibited sdLDL oxidation by 94% contrast to vehicle treated (ethanol) control.
Amarin Corporation plc, a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on developing and commercializing therapeutics for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in the United States.
