On September 14, 2017, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors has instructed management to conduct a strategic review of its operating structure with the intent to create separate companies of its current business segments, Passive Safety and Electronics. The intent is to create two publicly traded companies capable of addressing two distinct, growing markets with leading product offerings and thereby create additional value for shareholders, customers and other stakeholders as compared to the current, combined structure of the Company. The strategic review process will evaluate this and other options. Although the strategic review has been initiated there is no guarantee that the review will result in any transaction, including a separation or listing of the businesses. A copy of the press release regarding the announcement of the strategic review is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Current Report on Form8-K and the exhibits attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
