Parker-Hannifin Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 23, 2010 (the “Form 8-K”) to provide under Item 5.02(d)(3) of Form 8-K the committee assignments for Robert G.

On October 27, 2010, the Board of Directors determined that Mr. Bohn will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors and Mr. Svensson will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. Neither Mr. Bohn nor Mr. Svensson is a party to any transaction described in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Messrs.
