Information technology separation and service obligations were established in connection with the Climate Transaction and Interiors Divestiture, representing ongoing and separation services for the divested businesses to operate as independent entities. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 remaining obligations totaled $57 million and $10 million, respectively.

In connection with the Climate Transaction, the Company entered an agreement to purchase certain electronics operations located in India, expected to close in 2016 after legal separation and regulatory approvals are met. The Company has recorded a repurchase obligation of $50 million, representing the estimated purchase price of the subject business.

Non-trade payables represent accounts payable for purchases the Company has made on behalf of the buyer of the Interiors business. In connection with the Interiors Divestiture, the Company agreed to continue to pay suppliers on behalf of the buyer until underlying contractual supplier agreements are transferred or otherwise modified.
