Item 8.01. Other Events.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed pursuant to a memorandum of understanding regarding the settlement of certain litigation relating to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 12, 2015, among Remy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), BorgWarner Inc. (“Parent”) and Band Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) pursuant to which it is currently expected that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).
After the filing and dissemination of the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 18, 2015 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), three lawsuits (Maxine Phillips v. Remy International, Inc., et al., No. 1:15-cv-01343-TWP-TAB (S. D. Ind.); Jason Garcia v. Remy International, Inc., et al., No. 1:15-cv-01385-TWP-DKL (S.D. Ind.); and Stephen Bushansky v. Remy International, Inc., et al., No. 1:15-cv-01361-RLY-MJD (S.D. Ind.)) (the “Actions”) were filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of Indiana, Indianapolis Division (the “Court”) against the Company and its directors, alleging certain violations of Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with the proposed Merger.

On September 14, 2015, the Company executed a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the plaintiffs in each of the Actions providing for the settlement of the Actions.
The Company believes that no further supplemental disclosure is required under applicable laws. However, to avoid the burden, expense, risk, inconvenience, and distraction of continued litigation, including the risk of such litigation delaying or adversely affecting the Merger, the Company has agreed, pursuant to the terms of the proposed settlement and memorialized in the MOU, to make certain supplemental disclosures related to the proposed Merger, all of which are set forth below. The MOU contemplates that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement. The stipulation of settlement contemplated by the parties will be subject to customary conditions, including Court approval following notice to the Company’s stockholders and final certification, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(1) and/or (b)(2), of the Actions as a non-opt-out class that includes, among others, all record and beneficial holders of the Company’s common stock who held Company common stock at any time between and including July 13, 2015 and the effective date of the Merger. After the parties enter into a stipulation of settlement, a hearing will be scheduled at which the Court will consider the fairness and reasonableness of the settlement. If the settlement is finally approved by the Court, it will resolve and release all claims by the class that were or could have been brought challenging the proposed Merger, the Merger Agreement, and any disclosure made in connection therewith (but excluding claims for appraisal made by stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware), pursuant to terms that will be disclosed to stockholders of the Company prior to final approval of the settlement. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that plaintiffs’ counsel will file a petition in the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid by the Company or its successor. The Company or its successor shall pay or cause to be paid any attorneys’ fees and expenses awarded by the Court. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, that the Court will approve the settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation or that the Actions will be certified as a non-opt-out class. In any such event, the proposed settlement as contemplated by the MOU would be null and void.


SUPPLEMENT TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT
In connection with the settlement of the actions noted above, the Company has agreed to make the following supplemental disclosures to the Definitive Proxy Statement. This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. Defined terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
Summary-Vote Required
The following disclosure supplements the fifth paragraph under - Vote Required appearing on pages 2-3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.
As disclosed on page 10 of the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by the Company with the SEC on April 30, 2015, Company director Arik W. Ruchim is a partner of H Partners Management, LLC. As shown on page 90 of the Definitive Proxy Statement, based solely on information currently available to the Company from filings with the SEC on Schedules 13D and 13G filed prior to August 14, 2015, H Partners, taken as a whole, was the second largest stockholder of the Company as of August 14, 2015. Also as shown on page 90 of the Definitive Proxy Statement, based solely on information currently-available to the Company from filings with the SEC on Schedules 13D and 13G filed prior to August 14, 2015, the largest stockholder of the Company as of August 14,

2015 was FMR LLC, which, according to a Schedule 13G filed by FMR LLC on August 10, 2015, owned 3,843,336 Company shares as of August 10, 2015.
The Merger-Opinion of UBS Securities LLC
The following disclosure supplements and restates the first paragraph under - Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis appearing on pages 41-42 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.
UBS performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of the Company utilizing financial forecasts and estimates prepared by the Company's management, and UBS's calculation of unlevered free cash flows (calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, referred to in this section of the proxy statement as EBITDA, less unlevered taxes, less total capital expenditures, less increases in working capital and less restructuring charges) based on such financial forecasts and estimates. See the section entitled "The Merger-Certain Company Forecasts" beginning on page 45 for more information regarding the forecasts and estimates provided by the Company's management. UBS calculated a range of implied present values (as of June 30, 2015) of the standalone unlevered, after-tax, free cash flows that the Company was forecasted to generate from the period of July 1, 2015 through calendar year 2019 and of terminal values for the Company. Implied terminal values were derived by applying to the Company's calendar year 2019 estimated Adjusted EBITDA a range of estimated trailing EBITDA exit multiples of 6.0x to 7.5x. Present values of cash flows and terminal values were calculated using discount rates ranging from 9.75% to 11.25%, which range was selected based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company (utilizing the cost of equity as determined by the capital asset pricing model).Although UBS considered the impact of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), UBS determined that the net effect of tax assets, such as NOLS, and liabilities was not significant enough to impact its analysis.  This was due, in part, to the annual limitation on NOL usage and the potential negative tax impact arising from the Company’s bilateral advance pricing agreement between the U.S. and South Korea.

The following disclosure supplements and restates the first paragraph under - Miscellaneous appearing on page 45 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.
            Under the terms of UBS' engagement, the Company agreed to pay UBS for its financial advisory services in connection with the merger an aggregate fee currently estimated to be approximately $8.6 million, a portion of which has been paid in connection with UBS' opinion and approximately $7.6 million of which is contingent upon consummation of the merger. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse UBS for its reasonable expenses, including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, and to indemnify UBS and related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, relating to, or arising out of, its engagement. In the past, UBS and its affiliates have provided investment banking and financial advisory services to the Company unrelated to the merger, for which UBS and its affiliates received compensation, including having acted as financial advisor to the Company in its 2014 transaction with Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner in the refinancing of the Company's debt facility in 2013, for which UBS received aggregate fees of approximately $1.0 million and $0.45 million, respectively. In the ordinary course of business, UBS and its affiliates may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts of their customers, securities of the Company and Parent and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities. UBS has neither performed services for nor collected any fees from Parent since January 1, 2013.
The Merger-Background to the Merger
The following disclosure supplements the last paragraph under - Background to the Merger appearing on page 35 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.
Other than for the events described in the section of the Definitive Proxy Statement entitled “Background to the Merger”, at no time during the two-year period immediately prior to July 12, 2015 did any potential acquirer of the Company either express to the Company’s board of directors or senior management a serious interest in acquiring the Company or enter into a non-disclosure agreement with the Company in connection with a potential acquisition by such person of the Company. As of both the date of filing of the Definitive Proxy Statement and the date of the filing of this supplemental disclosure, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is party to an agreement with any person, other than H Partners, that would preclude such person from making an offer to acquire the Company that is superior to the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
The Board is not aware of any discussions having taken place on or prior to July 12, 2015 between members of Company management, on the one hand, and Parent and/or its subsidiaries on the other hand, regarding the continued employment of such persons by the Company or any of its subsidiaries following the Merger.

The Merger-Certain Company Forecasts
The following disclosure supplements the information set forth in the seventh paragraph under - Certain Company Forecasts appearing on page 47 of the Definitive Proxy Statement.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA as included in the Company financial forecasts to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure: net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders. Company management typically does not prepare projections for net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders when preparing internal projections and did not prepare any such projections as part of the Company financial forecasts. However, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders as set forth in the table below has been prepared on the basis of data used by the Company in preparing the Company financial forecasts. All amounts in the table below are in millions unless otherwise specified.
