ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On February 28, 2014, TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with a third party financial institution to repurchase $400 million of the Company’s common stock. The shares will be acquired under the Company’s previously announced share repurchase programs and will be retired upon repurchase.
Under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, the Company paid $400 million from available cash on hand and initially received approximately 3.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a substantial majority of the shares to be repurchased under the Repurchase Agreement. The total number of shares that the Company will ultimately repurchase under the Repurchase Agreement will be based on the volume weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the repurchase period, less a discount. The Repurchase Agreement is expected to be completed by the end of September 2014. At the completion of the Repurchase Agreement, the Company may be entitled to receive additional shares of its common stock or, under certain circumstances specified in the Repurchase Agreement, the Company may be required to deliver shares or make a cash payment (at its option).
