Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 12, 2009, Textron Financial Corporation (“Textron Financial”) made a capital contribution to its affiliate, Textron Financial Floorplan Master Note Trust (the “Trust”), in the approximate amount of $531 million in order to enable the Trust to repay all of its outstanding notes (the “Repayment”) issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Indenture dated as of May 26, 2005 (the “Indenture”) by and between the Trust and The Bank of New York Mellon, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and certain supplements thereto. In connection with the Repayment, all remaining dealer floorplan receivables and other assets (the “Conveyed Assets”) held by the Trust were conveyed to Textron Financial, and the Trust was dissolved.

Consistent with Textron Financial’s previously announced exit from all of the commercial finance business of Textron Financial, other than that portion of the business directly supporting the financing of customer purchases of products manufactured by its parent, Textron Inc., the Repayment enables Textron Financial to sell the Conveyed Assets to third parties. As of the date of this filing, Textron Financial has sold to a third party approximately $135 million of the Conveyed Assets at par and has entered into an agreement to sell an additional approximately $175 million of the Conveyed Assets, also at par, to another third party.

In connection with the Repayment, Textron Financial and the Trust terminated the following agreements: (i) the Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of May 26, 2005 by and between Textron Financial and Textron Receivables Corporation III, a subsidiary of Textron Financial (“TRC III”); (ii) an Amended and Restated Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of May 26, 2005 by and among the Trust, as issuer, TRC III, as transferor, Textron Financial, as servicer, and the Indenture Trustee; (iii) the Indenture; (iv) the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of May 26, 2005 by and among Textron Financial, TRC III and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as owner trustee; and (v) the Amended and Restated Administration Agreement dated as of May 26, 2005 by and among Textron Financial, TRC III and the Indenture Trustee (collectively, the “Agreements”). The Agreements were filed as Exhibits to Textron Financial’s report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2005.
