Other Events

 

On February 2, 2007, ArvinMeritor, Inc. (“ArvinMeritor”) announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement (“agreement”) to sell its emissions technologies business (“ET business”) to an affiliate of One Equity Partners II, L.P., a private equity affiliate of J. P. Morgan Securities, Inc.. Total consideration (including a $20 million note and assumption of certain liabilities) is expected to be approximately $310 million, and is subject to certain adjustments for working capital and other items. The transaction is currently expected to be completed in the third quarter of ArvinMeritor’s fiscal year 2007. The company expects to realize a loss on the sale of the business in an amount that has not yet been determined. 

The agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the purchaser and seller. The agreement also includes provisions governing the retention by the seller and assumption by the purchaser of responsibilities with regard to environmental, warranty and other liabilities; transition of employees and responsibility for employee compensation and benefits; tax matters and post-closing taxes; use of trademarks and logos; treatment of joint venture interests; and post-closing indemnities between the seller and purchaser for losses arising from specified events. Consummation of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory consents and approvals and receipt by the purchaser of financing under its debt financing commitment letter. The agreement may be terminated prior to closing by agreement of the parties, by one party upon material breach of the terms of the agreement by the other party, or by either party in the event the transaction is not completed by June 29, 2007.

 

The agreement will be filed as an exhibit to ArvinMeritor’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending April 1, 2007.
