Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 18, 2016, LKQ Corporation ("LKQ") entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell the OEM glass manufacturing business of its Pittsburgh Glass Works subsidiary to a subsidiary of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. for a sale price of $310 million, subject to potential post-closing purchase price adjustments. The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and conditions, and closing will be subject to receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of all conditions to closing, the transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017. The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to LKQ's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.

Item 8.01
Other Events.

Upon execution of the Agreement, LKQ concluded that the OEM business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in LKQ’s consolidated financial statements. As a result, the assets related to the OEM business will be reflected on LKQ’s consolidated balance sheet at the lower of the net asset carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. LKQ is in the process of evaluating the accounting for the disposition but currently expects to record a non-cash pretax charge in the range of approximately $25 - $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 related to the impairment of long-lived assets associated with the OEM business. The long-lived assets primarily consist of property, plant & equipment. In addition, LKQ is unable at this time to determine the size or impact of income tax consequences related to the transaction. LKQ will fully describe and disclose the amount of the charge in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.

On December 19, 2016, LKQ issued a press release announcing the execution of the Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
