ITEM 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who is our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Risks Related to our Pending Acquisition of Dana's Off-Highway Business (the "Acquisition")
The Acquisition may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, and the Purchase Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms.
The Acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (a) the receipt of specified consents, clearances, authorizations and approvals from governmental entities, (b) the absence of any order, injunction, or other judgment or law that makes illegal or prohibits the closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing") and (c) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. These conditions may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all, and, accordingly, the Acquisition may be delayed or may not be completed.
In addition, either we or Dana may terminate the Purchase Agreement based on the customary termination rights for each party included therein. In addition, we will be required to pay Dana a termination fee of $120 million if the termination is due to the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement to be completed by a specified outside date as a result of failure to obtain required approvals or clearances under, or as a result of an injunction or order relating to, competition and foreign investment laws.
Failure to complete the Acquisition could negatively impact the price of shares of our common stock, as well as our business and results of operations.
If the Acquisition is not completed for any reason, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Acquisition, we would be subject to a number of risks, including:
•we may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on the market price of our common stock;
•we may experience negative reactions from customers, suppliers, and other third parties with whom we do business, which in turn could result in a decline in our market share or negatively impact our ability to execute our strategic initiatives;
•we may experience negative reactions from employees;
•we will still be required to pay certain significant costs relating to the Acquisition, such as fees to our financial, legal and accounting advisors; and
