Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 22, 2014, General Cable Company, Ltd. (“Seller”), a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of General Cable Corporation, sold all of the stock of Phelps Dodge International Philippines, Inc. (“PDP”) and Phelps Dodge Philippines Energy Products Corporation (“PDEP”) owned by Seller to A. Soriano Corporation (“Buyer”) for $67.1 million in cash, resulting in (i) Buyer owning 100% of the stock of PDP, and (ii) Buyer and PDP owning 100% of the stock of PDEP. Prior to the consummation of the sale, (i) Buyer owned the remaining stock of PDP that Seller did not own, and (ii) PDP owned the remaining stock of PDEP that Seller did not own.
