Summary
This 8-K/A filing from General Dynamics Corporation (GD) is an amendment to a previous report concerning the election of William A. Osborn as a director. The primary update clarifies that Mr. Osborn, initially elected on October 6, 2009, has now been appointed to two key Board committees: the Audit Committee and the Finance and Benefit Plans Committee. These appointments are effective December 1, 2009. For investors, this filing indicates a routine procedural update regarding board composition and committee assignments.
