Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 21, 2014, VCS Quest Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Federal-Mogul Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Affinia Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Affinia”), to acquire certain business assets of the Affinia aftermarket chassis component business (the “Acquisition”). The Agreement provides that, upon the terms and conditions thereof, the Buyer will acquire the business assets from Affinia for a base purchase price of $150,000,000, subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments as further enumerated in the Agreement.

The parties anticipate closing the Acquisition upon 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 Buyer and Affinia, (ii) by Buyer or Affinia if the Acquisition does not close by January 21, 2015 (which outside date may be extended by Buyer to July 21, 2015 if approval from the relevant competition authorities has not been obtained by January 21, 2015), subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Agreement, (iii) by Buyer or Affinia if any governmental authority prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Agreement, (iv) by Buyer or Affinia, if the other breaches any of their respective representations, warranties, and covenants such that the closing conditions cannot be satisfied, or (v) by Buyer if a material adverse effect occurs, subject to certain exceptions enumerated in the Agreement.

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 22, 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.
