DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware Corporation in 2014. The Company is a leading global supplier of technology and innovation in vehicle and industrial products for fuel economy, emissions reduction, and safety systems. The Company serves the world’s foremost original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (“OES”) (collectively, “OE”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment, as well as the worldwide aftermarket. Proposed Merger Transaction On February 29, 2016, the Company announced it received a proposal from its majority shareholder Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("IEP") to purchase the shares of the Company's common stock not owned by IEP for $7.00 per share in a merger transaction. The Company’s Board of Directors subsequently authorized the formation of a special committee consisting of three of the four independent members of the Board of Directors and chaired by Thomas W. Elward to review and evaluate this proposal and any alternative transactions involving the Company. Following its formation, the special committee engaged Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as its financial advisor and Richards, Layton & Finger as its legal counsel. The special committee, working with its advisors, commenced its review and evaluation of the IEP proposal and alternatives thereto. Subsequent to submitting its proposal, IEP advised the Company’s Board of Directors that it was not considering selling its stake in Federal-Mogul at the current time. On June 20, 2016, the Company announced it had received a revised proposal from IEP to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock not owned by IEP for $8.00 per share, an increase from IEP’s previous offer of $7.00 in cash per share. The proposed merger process is on-going as of the date of this report.
