The Reporting Persons believe that unless Bridgestone agrees to a transaction prior to 8:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, 2015 that is superior to the transaction contemplated by the Proposal, the Issuer will terminate the Bridgestone Agreement and execute a merger agreement with Icahn Enterprises to effectuate the transaction contemplated by the Proposal.
