ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

On December 14, 2010, John C. Plant, President and Chief Executive Officer of TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), adopted a pre-arranged trading plan (a “Plan”) designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s policies regarding stock transactions and stock ownership guidelines. Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not in possession of material, non-public information at the time the plan is adopted to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell company stock. Using these plans, individuals can prudently and gradually diversify their investment portfolios over an extended period of time and avoid concerns about transactions occurring at a time when they might possess material non-public information.

The Plan provides for the sale of up to 296,000 shares acquired through the exercise of stock options, over a period that begins on February 18, 2011 and terminates on August 5, 2011. Shares will be sold under the Plan on the open market at prevailing market prices, subject to minimum price thresholds.

All sales of common stock pursuant to the Plan described above will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any officers or directors of the Company in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan or to report any plan adopted by an employee who is not an executive officer, except to the extent required by law.
