TABLE OF CONTENTS

Contribution and Purchase Agreement

Press Release

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On December 7, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our domestic first lien credit agreement. We entered into the amendment in anticipation of closing the previously announced sale of our Automotive & Specialty business operations, which also occurred on December 7 as referenced below. Among other things, the amendment permitted us to carry out the pre-closing restructuring arrangements necessary in order for the transaction to close.

     We did not pay the first lien lenders any fees in connection with the amendment.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On December 7, 2007, we completed our previously announced sale transaction with an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (“Sun”), selling Sun our Automotive & Specialty business operations for $10 million in cash. The operations sold included facilities in Eaton Rapids, Michigan; Nappanee, Indiana; Juarez, Mexico; and Cambridge, Ontario. This business has been classified as held for sale by Tecumseh since the end of the second quarter of 2007.

     We used the proceeds of the transaction to enhance our liquidity and provide for short-term working capital requirements.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On December 7, 2007, we issued a press release announcing the sale described in Item 2.01. We are furnishing a copy as an exhibit to this report.
