| ITEM 8.01. | OTHER EVENTS. |
As TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) previously disclosed, in June 2011 the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to the DOJ’s investigation of possible violations of antitrust laws by automotive parts suppliers. In connection with that investigation, one of the Company’s German subsidiaries has entered into a plea agreement with the DOJ.
Under the terms of the agreement, the subsidiary has agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy in restraint of trade involving sales of Occupant Safety Systems products and will pay a fine of US$5.1 million; once approved by the court, this agreement concludes the DOJ’s current investigation of the Company. In addition, one employee located in Germany has been excluded from the non-prosecution provisions of the agreement, although no determination has been made by the DOJ regarding this person.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
