Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 8, 2013, two indirect subsidiaries of Federal-Mogul Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“F-M Corp”), Federal Mogul SAS, a French company (“F-M SAS”) and Federal Mogul Luxembourg SARL, a Luxembourg company (“F-M Lux,” together with F-M SAS, the “Sellers”), completed the sale of their respective share capital interests in Federal-Mogul Sintertech SAS, a French company (“F-M Sintertech”), to TM France, a limited liability company organized under the laws of France (“Buyer”). F-M Sintertech manufactures various sintered metal parts for the automotive, transportation and filtration industries. The transaction involved the transfer of two manufacturing sites in France and the lease of a third manufacturing site in France from F-M SAS to Buyer. Approximately 400 employees were transferred as part of the transaction. The consideration received at the closing, which was based on arm’s length negotiations between the parties was one (1) Euro. In connection with the transaction, the Sellers also contributed 30 million Euro in cash to F-M Sintertech.
At the closing, the Sellers and the Buyer entered into various ancillary agreements including agreements related to transition services, supply of products, lease of certain real property and a commercial agency agreement. Except with regard to the foregoing transaction, there are no material relationships between the Buyer, on the one hand, and F-M Corp or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of F-M Corp or any associate of any such director or officer (as those terms are defined under applicable SEC regulations), on the other hand.
