Note 3. Divestiture

In January 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Friction Materials business to Federal Mogul Corporation for approximately $155 million. The transaction, subject to required regulatory approvals and applicable information and consultation requirements, is expected to close in the second half of 2014. The Company recognized a pre-tax and after-tax loss of approximately $30 million (of which $2 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2014). The sale of Friction Materials, which has been part of the Transportation Systems segment, is consistent with the Company's strategic focus on its portfolio of differentiated global technologies.
