Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 6, 2016, Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American Entertainment Properties Corp., a Delaware corporation (“AEP”), 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 will commence 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 (the “Common Stock”), not already owned by Merger Sub and its affiliates, for a purchase price of $9.25 per share, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest, less any applicable tax withholding.

Merger Sub has agreed to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as practicable after the date of the Merger Agreement. The consummation of the Offer is conditioned on (a) a non-waivable condition that there be validly tendered in the Offer (and not properly withdrawn) that number of shares which would (i) represent at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, excluding shares owned by Icahn Enterprises L.P., the ultimate parent of Merger Sub (“IEP”), AEP, Merger Sub any of their respective affiliates, and (ii) together with the shares of Common Stock then owned by Merger Sub, represent at least one share of Common Stock more than 90% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance with the covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain qualifications, and (c) other customary conditions.

The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to its terms and conditions, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger” and, together with the Offer, the “Transactions”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of IEP. The consummation of the Merger is subject to Merger Sub having accepted for payment and paid for shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) in the Offer and another customary closing condition.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Common Stock not purchased in the Offer, other than shares owned (i) by Merger Sub, AEP or any of their respective affiliates, (ii) by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iii) by any stockholder of the Company who has submitted and has not withdrawn or otherwise lost or failed to perfect a demand for appraisal rights under Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, will be converted into the right to receive an amount, in cash and without interest, equal to the Offer Price.

Each outstanding equity award under the Company’s stock plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will remain outstanding subject to the vesting and other restrictions set forth in the applicable award agreement and such stock plans and vesting of such equity awards will not be accelerated by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), based on the unanimous recommendation of the special committee of the Company Board consisting of independent directors who had been delegated the full power and authority of the Company Board to, among other things, evaluate the Transactions and the Company’s alternatives thereto, has unanimously (a) determined that the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to, and in the best interest of, the Company and its stockholders (other than AEP, Merger Sub and their affiliates) (“the Minority Stockholders”), (b) adopted a resolution approving and declaring advisable the Merger Agreement, the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (c) resolved to recommend to the Minority Stockholders that they accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer.

The Company, AEP and Merger Sub have made have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights of AEP and the Company.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, AEP or Merger Sub. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only as of specified dates for the purposes of such agreement, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by such parties. In particular, in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement and discussed in the foregoing description, it is important to bear in mind that such representations, warranties and covenants were negotiated with the principal purpose of allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. Such representations, warranties and covenants may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors are not third party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, investors and stockholders should not rely on such representations, warranties and covenants as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances described therein. Information concerning the subject matter of such representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 6, 2016, the Company and IEP issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
