RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Insight Portfolio Group, LLC (“Insight”) is an entity formed and controlled by Icahn Enterprises, L.P. ("IEP") in order to maximize the potential buying power of a group of entities with which IEP has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services, and tangible and intangible property at negotiated rates. The Company acquired a minority equity interest in Insight and agreed to pay a portion of Insight’s operating expenses beginning in 2013. In addition to the minority equity interest held by the Company, certain subsidiaries of IEP and other entities with which IEP has a relationship also acquired equity interests in Insight and also agreed to pay certain operating expenses.

The Company’s payments to Insight were less than $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

On June 1, 2015, IEP, the Company's parent, completed an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Uni-Select USA, Inc. and Beck/Arnley Worldparts, Inc. comprising the U.S. automotive parts distribution of Uni-Select Inc ("Uni-Select"). Uni-Select will be operated independently from the Company and all transactions will be approved by the independent directors of the Company. In connection with IEP's acquisition of Uni-Select, Mr. Icahn has resigned from the Company's board of directors and Daniel A. Ninivaggi, Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company has resigned from the board of directors of IEP.

Subsequent to the IEP acquisition of Uni-Select, Uni-Select changed its name to Auto Plus. The Company had $27 million of sales from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2015 to Auto Plus and $12 million of accounts receivable outstanding from Auto Plus as of December 31, 2015.
