Item 5. Other Events

     On October 31, 2001, Motorola, Inc. (the "Company") closed the sale of
$1,050 million of 7.00% Equity Security Units (the "Units"). The Units consist
of (i) purchase contracts under which (a) the holder will purchase shares of
Common Stock of the Company, $3 par value per share, on November 16, 2004, and
(b) the Company will pay contract adjustment payments at the annual rate of
$0.50, and (ii) 6.50% Senior Notes due November 16, 2007. The net proceeds from
the issuance of the Units, together with the net proceeds from the Company's
concurrent sale of $600 million of 8.00% notes due 2011 in a private placement,
will be used to reduce short-term indebtedness and for general corporate
purposes.

     The Units were sold pursuant to the Company's existing shelf registration
of up to $2 billion of Debt Securities and Debt Securities Warrants, Common
Stock and Common Stock Warrants, and Stock Purchase Contracts and Stock Purchase
