On January 21, 2014, Fiat completed a transaction (the "Equity Purchase Agreement") in which its 100 percent owned subsidiary, FCA North America Holdings LLC, formerly known as Fiat North America LLC ("FCA NA"), indirectly acquired from the VEBA Trust all of the membership interests in the Company not previously held by FCA NA. Refer to Note 15, Other Transactions with Related Parties, for additional information regarding this transaction.

Nature of Operations We design, engineer, manufacture, distribute and sell vehicles under the brand names Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and the SRT performance vehicle designation. We also manufacture certain vehicles in Mexico, which are distributed by us throughout North America and select markets and sold to FCA for distribution in other select markets. In addition, FCA manufactures certain vehicles for us, which we sell in the U.S. and internationally. Our product lineup includes passenger cars, utility vehicles (which include sport utility vehicles ("SUVs") and crossover vehicles ("CUVs")), minivans, trucks and commercial vans. We also sell automotive service parts and accessories under the Mopar brand name. Our products are available in more than 150 countries around the world. We sell our products to dealers and distributors for sale to retail customers and fleet customers, which include rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and government entities. The majority of our operations, employees, independent dealers and sales are in North America, primarily in the U.S. Approximately 10 percent of our vehicle sales during both 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 were outside North America, principally in Asia Pacific, South America and Europe. Vehicle, service parts and accessories sales outside North America are primarily through our 100 percent owned, affiliated or independent distributors and dealers. FCA is the distributor of our vehicles and service parts in Europe and Brazil. FCA also distributes certain of our vehicles through its networks in other select markets. We are the distributor for Alfa Romeo brand vehicles in North America and for FCA vehicles in select markets outside of Europe.
