Holding Company Reorganization: On April 15, 2014, Federal-Mogul Corporation completed a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). As a result of the Reorganization, the outstanding shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock were automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation common stock, and all of the stockholders of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization automatically became stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. The rights of stockholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation were generally governed by Delaware law and Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which were the same in all material respects as those of Federal-Mogul Corporation immediately prior to the Reorganization. In addition, the board of directors of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation and its Audit Committee and Compensation Committee were composed of the same members as the board of directors, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee of Federal-Mogul Corporation prior to the Reorganization. Merger Transaction: On September 6, 2016, the Company, American Entertainment Properties Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AEP”), the Company's parent and a subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises L.P. ("IEP"), and IEH FM Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub commenced a cash tender offer (the "Offer) to acquire, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, not already owned by IEP affiliates, for a purchase price of $9.25 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable tax withholding. On January 3, 2017, the Company announced it had received a revised proposal to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock for $10.00 per share, an increase from the previous offer of $9.25 in cash per share. On January 23, 2017, AEP and Merger Sub completed the acquisition of the Company as all terms and conditions of the merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement were satisfied. Shares of the Company's stock are no longer publicly traded as of the close of business January 23, 2017. Spinoff: On January 15, 2016, the Company announced it terminated the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts division. The Company will continue to operate with two separate, independent businesses with separate CEOs who will each report directly the Company's board of directors. The separate businesses more effectively serve their unique markets and allow each operating business to pursue its business strategy and more quickly react to its respective market conditions. Controlling Ownership: As of December 31, 2016, Mr. Carl C. Icahn indirectly controlled approximately 81.99% of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock and, by virtue of such stock ownership, is able to control or exert substantial influence over the Company, including the election of directors, business strategy and policies, mergers or other business combinations, acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of common stock or other securities, incurrence of debt or obtaining other sources of financing, and the payment of dividends on the Company’s common stock. The existence of a controlling stockholder may have the effect of making it difficult for, or may discourage or delay, a third party from seeking to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of the stock. Mr. Icahn’s interests may not always be consistent with the Company’s interests or with the interests of the Company’s other stockholders. Mr. Icahn and entities controlled by him may also pursue acquisitions or business opportunities that may or may not be complementary to the Company’s business. To the extent that conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and Mr. Icahn and his affiliates, those conflicts may be resolved in a manner adverse to the Company or its other shareholders. As a result of the Merger Transaction and subsequent conversion, the entity indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Icahn became the sole member of the limited liability company. Deconsolidations: In 2012, the Company began exiting substantially all its activities in Venezuela with only residual cash and de minimis administrative costs remaining in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company concluded the inability to freely exchange currency between the Venezuelan bolivar currency and the U.S. dollar coupled with the significant government regulations and restrictions then in place severely limited its ability to manage and control its Venezuelan operations. As a result, the Company's Venezuelan subsidiary was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2014. The effect of the deconsolidation was a $2 million charge included in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In 2016 and 2015, the Company had no operations in Venezuela.
