Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 7, 2014, Platin 966. GmbH, a German limited liability company, and Saxid SAS, a société par actions simplifiée (collectively, the “Purchasers”), both indirectly controlled European subsidiaries of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Honeywell”), to acquire certain business assets of the Honeywell automotive and industrial brake friction business (the “Acquisition”). The Agreement provides that, upon the terms and conditions thereof, the Purchasers will acquire the business assets from Honeywell through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of approximately $155,000,000, subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments and a potential earn-out payment of up to $5,000,000, in each case as further enumerated in the Agreement.

The parties anticipate closing the Acquisition in the second half of 2014, subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including from certain competition authorities, and certain other customary closing conditions.

The Agreement may be terminated (i) by mutual consent of Purchasers and Honeywell, (ii) by Purchasers or Honeywell if the Acquisition does not close by January 7, 2015, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Agreement, (iii) by Purchasers or Honeywell if any governmental authority prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Agreement, or (iv) by Purchasers or Honeywell, if the other breaches any of their respective representations, warranties, and covenants such that the closing conditions cannot be satisfied.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

On January 7, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Agreement and intended Acquisition. The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
