Acquisition of Federal-Mogul
On October 1, 2018, the Company closed on the acquisition of all of the interests in Federal-Mogul (the "Acquisition") pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2018 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Federal-Mogul, American Entertainment Properties Corp. ("AEP" and, together with certain affiliated entities, the "Sellers") and Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("IEP"). Total consideration was approximately $3.7 billion. Following the completion of the Acquisition, Federal-Mogul was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company.

Following the closing of the Acquisition, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to pursue the separation of the combined company's powertrain technology business and its aftermarket and ride performance business into two new independent, publicly traded companies in a spin-off transaction that is expected to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

At the effective date of the Acquisition, the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated (the "Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation") in order to create a new class of non-voting convertible common stock of the Company called "Class B Non-Voting Common Stock" ("Class B Common Stock") with 25,000,000 shares authorized, and to reclassify the Company's existing common stock as "Class A Voting Common Stock" ("Class A Common Stock" and, together with the Class B Common Stock, the “common stock”). See Note 17, Shareholders' Equity for additional information on the conversion features of the Class B Common Stock. On the same date, the Company also entered into a new credit facility in connection with the Acquisition. The new credit facility includes $4.9 billion of total debt financing, consisting of a five-year $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a five-year $1.7 billion term loan A facility and a seven-year $1.7 billion term loan B facility. See Note 11, Debt and Other Financing Arrangements, for additional information.

Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the authorized number of shares was increased from 185,000,000 shares, divided into 135,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01, to 250,000,000 shares, divided into 175,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 25,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01.

The Company (i) paid to AEP an aggregate amount in cash equal to $800 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) issued and delivered to AEP an aggregate of 29,444,846 shares of common stock at $41.99 per share (the “Stock Consideration”). The $1.2 billion of common stock was comprised of: (a) 5,651,177 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 equal to 9.9 percent of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, and (b) 23,793,669 shares of newly created Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01. The remaining consideration of approximately $1.7 billion was comprised primarily of the repayments of certain Federal-Mogul debt obligations.

Advisory costs associated with the Acquisition were $68 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and were recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the residual amount recognized as goodwill, is based upon estimated information and is subject to change within the measurement period. The measurement period is a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date during which the Company may adjust estimated or provisional amounts recorded during purchase accounting if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. Measurement period adjustments are recorded in the period identified. Any adjustments to amounts recorded in purchase accounting that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are included in earnings in the period identified.

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. While the Company believes these preliminary estimates provide a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, it will continue to evaluate available information prior to finalization of the amounts. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of property, plant and equipment; intangible assets; unconsolidated affiliates; deferred income tax assets and liabilities; redeemable noncontrolling interests; and noncontrolling interests.

Goodwill and other assets and liabilities are reflected in the Powertrain and Motorparts segments and are located in all geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this Acquisition consists largely of the Company's expected future economic benefits to arise from expected future product sales and synergies from combining Federal-Mogul with the Company's existing portfolio of products. Goodwill of $388 million was allocated to the Powertrain segment and $437 million was allocated to the Motorparts segment. None of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Other intangible assets acquired include the following:

The Company also recorded a $152 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation and recognized $105 million as a non-cash charge to cost of goods sold during the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the amortization of this step-up, as the acquired inventory was sold. The Company expects to recognize the remaining amortization of the inventory step-up during 2019.

The Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2018 included net sales and operating revenues of $1,886 million and net loss of $69 million associated with the operating results of Federal-Mogul from October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.

Pro Forma Results (Unaudited)
The following table summarizes, on a pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and Federal-Mogul business as though the Acquisition and the related financing had occurred as of January 1, 2017. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the acquisition of Federal-Mogul occurred on December 31, 2016 or of future consolidated operating results.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and the results presented above primarily reflect: (i) depreciation adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to property, plant, and equipment; (ii) amortization adjustments relating to fair value estimates of intangible assets; (iii) incremental interest expense, net on assumed indebtedness, the new credit facility, debt issuance costs, and fair value adjustments to debt; and (iv) cost of goods sold adjustments relating to fair value adjustments to inventory. Pro forma adjustments described above have been tax affected using the Company's effective rate during the respective periods.

In 2018, the Company incurred $96 million of acquisition related costs. These expenses are included in Selling, general, and administrative on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2018. These expenses, as well as $4 million of expenses incurred by Federal-Mogul in 2018 prior to the acquisition, are reflected in the pro forma earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017, in the table above.

Other Matters Related to the Acquisition
On March 3, 2017, and May 1, 2017, certain purported former stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (“FMHC”) filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery seeking an appraisal of the value of common stock they claim to have held at the time of the January 23, 2017 merger of IEH FM Holdings, LLC into FMHC. IEH FM Holdings, LLC was a wholly owned subsidiary of American Entertainment Properties Corp. and a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. The two cases were consolidated on May 10, 2017 into: “In re Appraisal of Federal-Mogul Holdings LLC, C.A. No. 2017-0158-AGB.”

Federal-Mogul received a capital contribution of $56 million on June 29, 2018 from its then-parent, IEP, in connection with this matter. At October 1, 2018, Federal-Mogul’s litigation reserve was $55 million, along with accrued interest of $6 million, which was assumed as part of the Acquisition. On October 19, 2018, the Company reached an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle their claims for $12.01 per share, inclusive of interest payable, or an aggregate of approximately $61 million. The Company paid this settlement in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets and liabilities as held for sale (“disposal group”) when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. The Company also considers whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn.

In December 2018, the Company entered into a stock and asset purchase agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities related to its wipers business in the Motorparts segment for a sale price of $29 million, subject to adjustment based on terms of the sale agreement. As of December 31, 2018, proceeds from the sale would have been $22 million. The related assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2018. The transaction closed on March 1, 2019.

There were no disposal groups classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2017. The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2018 were as follows:
