15. Subsequent Event

On February 28, 2017, we consummated our previously announced strategic alliance with VW T&B, which included an equity investment in the Company by VW T&B pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the License and Supply Framework Agreement and the Procurement JV Framework Agreement. Pursuant to the VW T&B Stock Purchase Agreement, on February 28, 2017 we issued and VW T&B purchased 16.2 million of our shares for an aggregate purchase price of $256 million at $15.76 per share (an estimated 19.9% stake (16.6% on a pro forma basis) in the Company).
