          This Amendment No. 8 (this “ Amendment ”) to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO amends and supplements the Schedule TO filed by Egret Acquisition Corp., a Georgia corporation (“ Purchaser ”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) on June 27, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed July 8, 2011, Amendment No. 2 filed July 13, 2011, Amendment No. 3 filed July 21, 2011, Amendment No. 4 filed July 26, 2011, Amendment No. 5 filed August 2, 2011, Amendment No. 6 filed August 5, 2011 and Amendment No. 7 filed August 15, 2011 (which, together with any amendments and supplements hereto, collectively constitute the “ Schedule TO ”) relating to the tender offer by Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Parent ”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“ EMS Common Stock ”), of EMS Technologies, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“ EMS ”), including the associated common stock purchase rights (collectively, the “ Shares ”), at a purchase price of $33.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 27, 2011 (which, together with the amendments and supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “ Offer to Purchase ”), and in the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “ Letter of Transmittal ,” which, together with the Offer to Purchase, constitute the “ Offer ”), copies of which were filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on June 27, 2011.

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in Schedule TO, except that such information is amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Schedule TO.

Items 1, 4, 8 and 11.

          Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

          “The Offer and withdrawal rights expired at 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2011. The Depositary has advised Parent that as of the Expiration Date, 14,255,726 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn (including 564,632 Shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery). The Shares tendered represent approximately 91.6% of the outstanding Shares (or approximately 85.5% calculated on a fully diluted basis), and therefore the Minimum Tender Condition was satisfied. All Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn have been accepted for purchase and paid for by Purchaser.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser intends to exercise the Top-Up Option to purchase at a per share price equal to the Offer Price a number of newly issued Shares directly from EMS which, when taken together with the Shares purchased in the Offer, constitutes more than 90% of the Shares outstanding (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares). After issuance of the Top-Up Shares, Honeywell and Purchaser intend to effect a short-form merger under Georgia law, as promptly as practicable, without the need for a meeting of EMS’ shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all outstanding Shares (other than the Shares held by Honeywell, Purchaser or EMS or their respective subsidiaries or Shares held by EMS’ shareholders who have properly exercised their dissenters’ rights under Georgia law) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash equal to the Offer Price.

          On August 22, 2011, Parent issued a press release announcing, among other things, the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release issued by Parent is set forth as Exhibit (a)(1)(L) hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.”
