Federal-Mogul Defers Refinancing and Extends Rights Offering Expiration Date

Southfield, Michigan, June 20, 2013 … Federal-Mogul Corporation (NASDAQ:FDML) commenced a common stock rights offering on June 7, 2013. At that time, the Company had initiated discussions with potential financing sources in connection with the refinancing of its outstanding indebtedness, and the Company expected that the refinancing would be completed shortly after the completion of the rights offering. Due to volatile market conditions, the Company intends to defer the refinancing activities. The Company will continue to evaluate market conditions and other relevant factors in connection with the potential refinancing of all or a portion of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. There can be no assurances as to the ultimate timing or terms of any such refinancing.

The completion of the Company’s rights offering is not conditioned upon the completion of the refinancing. However, the Company has determined, in light of the deferral of the refinancing, to offer rights holders the ability to withdraw the exercise of any previously exercised subscription rights and to extend the expiration date of the rights offering from June 27, 2013 to 5:00 p.m. EDT on July 1, 2013.

The rights are transferrable and, with respect to trading, the Company understands that actions have been taken by a market-maker to list the rights on the OTC Bulletin Board. Any questions regarding the rights offering should be directed to D.F. King & Co. Inc., the Information Agent for the rights offering, by calling 1-800-901-0068 (toll-free) or 1-212-269-5550 (collect), or Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Subscription Agent for the rights offering, by calling 1-800-546-5141.

The rights offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on May 1, 2013. The rights offering is being made solely by means of the prospectus and prospectus supplement that was filed with the SEC on June 7, 2013. Additional information regarding the rights offering is set forth in the prospectus supplement that was filed with the SEC on June 7, 2013.
