ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS.

On November 19, 2012, John C. Plant, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), and Joseph S. Cantie, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, adopted pre-arranged trading plans (each, a “Plan”) designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s policies regarding stock transactions and stock ownership guidelines.  Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock. Using these plans, individuals can prudently and gradually diversify their investment portfolios over an extended period of time and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public information.

The Plan adopted by John C. Plant provides for the sale of up to 100,000 shares acquired through the exercise of stock options, over a period that begins on December 19, 2012 and terminates on May 31, 2013. Shares will be sold under the Plan on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.

The Plan adopted by Joseph S. Cantie provides for the sale of up to 120,000 shares acquired through the exercise of stock options, over a period that begins on December 19, 2012 and terminates on August 11, 2013. This Plan was adopted following the expiration of a predecessor 10b5-1 plan that Mr. Cantie entered into in February 2012, for the same options that were included in the previous plan but were not exercised and sold thereunder.  Shares will be sold under the Plan on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.

All sales of common stock pursuant to the Plans described above will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors of the Company in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan or to report any plan adopted by an employee who is not an executive officer, except to the extent required by law.
