Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 12, 2008, WABCO was notified of the termination of an accounts receivable financing facility arranged by ABN AMRO N.V. and Cooperative Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank,” and together with ABN AMRO N.V., the “banks”) due to an event outside of WABCO’s control.

The termination of the accounts receivable financing facility resulted from the recent downgrading of Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”) by Standard & Poors (“S&P”). RBS, after acquiring ABN-AMRO, had assumed the liquidity support obligations for the special-purpose entity (“SPE”) which was established for the funding and securitization of receivables of various customers of the banks, including WABCO. The RBS downgrade in turn caused S&P to downgrade the SPE from an A-1+ to A-1 rating. Any downgrading of the SPE is a termination event stipulated in the facility agreement.

The accounts receivable financing facility was originally entered into on April 28, 2008 and reported on Form 8-K on May 2, 2008; therefore, its termination is a reportable event. The maximum funding from receivables that could have been sold into the facility was €150 million. To date, the facility has not been used. The liquidity facilities provided by the banks in support of the securitization arrangement were due to be renewed on April 28, 2009.

WABCO is in negotiations to provide a substitute facility. However, there can be no assurance that such negotiations will be completed at all or in a timely manner, and there can be no assurance that the size of the substitute facility will be the same as the terminated facility, and/or contain other terms similar to the terms of the terminated facility.
