ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On September 28, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (“TAHC”) and TRW Automotive Inc. (“TAI” and, together with TAHC, the “Company”) approved and authorized the Company to enter into an amendment to the employment agreement of Peter J. Lake, a named executive officer. The amendment, which is effective October 1, 2009, allows the Company to continue to retain Mr. Lake’s services in his current position under the terms of his employment agreement, in light of his decision to retire under the terms of the Company’s U.K. Pension Plan and commence receiving benefits thereunder. Pursuant to the amendment TAI replaces TRW Limited as Mr. Lake’s employer and the benefits schedule is revised to delete reference to U.K. benefits and to add benefits available to certain other U.S. employees, such as the 401(k) plan and the Benefits Equalization Plan.
This description of the amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
