“This is a major step forward in the creation of two strong leading global companies, each in an excellent position to capture opportunities unique to their respective markets and realigned in a way to unlock shareholder value.”
During the meeting, the company announced it had received regulatory approvals required to close and expects the Federal-Mogul acquisition will close next month on 1 October.
