Laurans A. Mendelson, HEICO's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "We are honored and pleased that Forbes has bestowed this recognition on our company for the fourth consecutive year. Our outstanding Team Members continue to be the reason behind our success. Each of our HEICO Team Members has made this honor possible."
Mr. Mendelson added, "Of course, we agree with Forbes' assessment of HEICO, and note that HEICO has achieved significant compound annual growth rates since 1990 through the end of our most recent fiscal year of approximately 20% in sales, earnings and stock price."
The Company has two classes of common stock traded on the NYSE. Both classes, the Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) and the Common Stock (HEI), are virtually identical in all economic respects. The only difference between the share classes is the voting rights. The Class A Common Stock (HEI.A) receives 1/10 vote per share and the Common Stock (HEI) receives one vote per share. The stock symbols for HEICO's two classes of common stock on most web sites are HEI.A and HEI. However, some web sites change HEICO's Class A Common Stock stock symbol (HEI.A) to HEI/A or HEIa.
