EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 14, 2013.   We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating by reference the information required by Item 11 of Part III of Form 10-K, including the Company's "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" for the year ended September 30, 2013, which was inadvertently not incorporated by reference into the 2013 Form 10-K from our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held January 22, 2014.  This Amendment replaces in its entirety the information provided in Item 11 of Part III of the 2013 Form 10-K.

 

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), Item 11 of Part III of the 2013 Form 10-K is hereby replaced in its entirety.  In addition, Item 15 of Part IV has been amended to contain currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.  These updated certifications are attached to this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4.    Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend or otherwise modify or update the other disclosures presented in the 2013 Form 10-K and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K.  Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

 

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

Unless we have indicated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 10-K/A to “Woodward,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Woodward, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
