(n/k/a ZF TRW Automotive Holdings Corp., the “Company”) registered, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-115337) (the “401(k) Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2004, up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the offering of a Company stock fund investment option under a 401(k) savings plan that is currently entitled the TRW Automotive 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Savings Plan”).
In addition, the Company also registered, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration Number 333-117535) (the “Hourly 401(k) Registration Statement” and, together with the 401(k) Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”) filed with the SEC on July 21, 2004, up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the offering of a Company stock fund investment option under a 401(k) savings plan that is currently entitled the TRW Automotive Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees (the “Hourly 401(k) Savings Plan,” and, together with the 401(k) Savings Plan, the “Plans”).
