(a) This Statement is filed by the Moog Inc. Stock Compensation Trust, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2015 (the “Trust”) and by Robert T.

The Trust was established on December 2, 2003 and will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date the Trust no longer holds any assets or (b) a date specified in a written notice given by the Issuer’s Board of Directors to the Trustee.

Purpose of Transaction.


The Trust holds its shares of Class B Stock for use in providing equity awards under the Issuer’s benefit plans.

Other than for such purposes, the Trust holds its shares of Class B Stock for long-term investment purposes, and neither the Trust nor the Trustee has made any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number of or term of Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (v) any material change in the Issuer's present capitalization or dividend policy; (vi) any material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws, or instruments corresponding thereto or actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated in this paragraph.
