Effective December 31, 2012, the initial term of CNH Global’s global alliance with one of its Japanese joint ventures, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (“KCM”) expired and CNH Global and KCM entered a new phase of the relationship. As a result, CNH Global sold its 20% ownership in KCM to Kobe Steel, Ltd (“KSL”) and recognized a loss of approximately $35 million in 2012. The dispute regarding the amount to be paid by KSL to CNH Global was resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) rules, as provided by the KCM Shareholders Agreement. In November 2013, the arbitrator issued his award and opinion, effectively ruling in favor of KSL. As a result, CNH Industrial recognized an additional loss of $26 million on the sale of investment in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
