Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 17, 2014, Exide Technologies ("Exide" or the "Company") filed with the Bankruptcy Court (1) a proposed plan of reorganization (the "Proposed Plan") and (2) a related proposed disclosure statement (the "Proposed Disclosure Statement"). Proposed Financial Projections were attached to the Proposed Disclosure Statement as Exhibit B (the "Proposed Projections"). The Proposed Disclosure Statement, the Proposed Plan and the Proposed Projections were also made publicly available as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 18, 2014. The Proposed Projections contained certain assumptions for Exide's Transportation Americas business unit that included an ongoing relationship with one of the division's largest customers by volume. On November 18, 2014, Exide was informed by this customer that it would transition its relationship to a new third party vendor over the next several months. Thus, the assumptions underlying the Proposed Projections as they relate to Exide's relationship with this customer are no longer valid. These events may have a negative effect on the financial results portrayed in the Proposed Projections relative to Exide's Transportation Americas business unit. The Company is currently evaluating the extent of the effect of these events on the Proposed Disclosure Statement, the Proposed Plan and the Proposed Projections.
