Frequently Asked Questions

This 8-K filing primarily serves to announce Amphenol Corporation's fourth quarter and full-year 2006 financial results, and to formally disclose a planned 2-for-1 stock split.

A 2-for-1 stock split means that for every share of stock an investor owns, they will receive an additional share, effectively doubling their number of shares. While the total value of their holding remains the same immediately after the split, it can make the stock price per share lower and potentially more accessible to a wider range of investors, increasing liquidity.

The specific financial results are detailed in the press release dated January 17, 2007, which is attached to this 8-K filing as Exhibit 99.1.

The stock split will be for shareholders of record as of March 16, 2007. The additional shares are expected to be distributed on or about March 30, 2007.
