Legal Matters
On April 17, 2017, a jury awarded damages against the Company of $81.5 million in a litigated automotive product liability dispute. The Company believes the verdict is not supported by the facts or the law and is contrary to the Company’s role in the automotive parts industry. The Company intends to challenge the verdict through post-trial motions and, if necessary, on appeal to a higher court. The awarded damages are before offsets from previous settlements and potential bankruptcy trust claims, which are not currently known as a result of the judicial process, but are expected to reduce the initial awarded damages. At the time of the filing of these financial statements, based upon the Company’s legal defenses, insurance coverage, and reserves, the Company does not believe this matter will have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements; however, this assessment may change as additional facts are known and the judicial process progresses.
