Note 16. Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2018 the Company completed the spin-off of its Transportation Systems business, part of Aerospace, into a standalone, publicly-traded company, Garrett Motion Inc., to Honeywell shareowners. Since the effective date of the spin-off falls within the fiscal fourth quarter, the assets and liabilities associated with Garrett have been included with the Company’s third quarter Consolidated Balance Sheet. The results of operations for Garrett are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows through the effective date of the spin-off. The Company entered into certain agreements with Garret to affect our legal and structural separation including a transition services agreement with Garrett to provide certain administrative and other services for a limited time.

The Company also entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with a Garrett subsidiary, pursuant to which Garrett’s subsidiary will have an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to (i) 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments, in each case related to legacy elements of the Garrett business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less (ii) 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The amount payable to Honeywell in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year will be subject to a cap, payable in the Euro equivalent of approximately $175 million using a fixed exchange rate determined just prior to spinoff. The obligation will continue until the earlier of December 31, 2048, or December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual indemnification obligation has been less than the Euro equivalent, at the fixed exchange rate, of $25 million.

 

Honeywell shareowners of record as of the close of business on September 18, 2018 received one share of Garrett common stock for every 10 shares of Honeywell common stock on the distribution date of October 1, 2018. Immediately prior to the effective date of the spin-off, subsidiaries of Garrett incurred debt to make a cash distribution of approximately $1.6 billion to the Company.
