- We may not be able to accurately forecast demand or meet significant increases in demand for our products.
- We have taken, and continue to take, cost-reduction and other restructuring actions that may expose us to additional risk and we may not be able to maintain the level of cost reductions that we have achieved.
- Our revenue growth may be dependent on market acceptance of new product introductions and product innovations.
- Longer lives of parts used in our end markets may adversely affect demand for some of our replacement products.
- Competition in the replacement market in emerging markets may limit our ability to grow in those markets.
- We may pursue strategic transactions, including acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, strategic alliances or investments, which could create risks and present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs.
- We have investments in joint ventures that limit our ability to manage third-party risks associated with these ventures.

- Global privacy, data protection and data security requirements are highly complex, evolving rapidly, and may increase our costs to comply.
- Existing or new laws and regulations, including but not limited to those relating to HSE and sustainability matters, may prohibit, burden, restrict or make significantly more costly the sale of our products and the operation of our business.
- We are subject to anti-corruption laws in various jurisdictions, as well as other laws governing our international operations. If we fail to comply with these laws we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses.
- We may be subject to recalls or product liability claims, or may incur costs related to product warranties, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Failure to develop, obtain, adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business, and third parties could allege that our products infringe on their intellectual property rights, adversely affecting our business.
- We are subject to risks from litigation, legal and regulatory proceedings and obligations, and our insurance may not provide coverage or may not fully cover future losses we may incur related to these proceedings and obligations or otherwise.

- Changes in tax laws could result in additional tax liabilities.
- Relevant tax authorities may no longer treat us as being exclusively a resident of the U.K. for tax purposes.
- Our substantial leverage and subsidiary structure could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, our ability to operate our business, our ability to react to changes in the economy, or our industry or our ability to pay our debts, and could divert our cash flow from operations to debt payments.
- Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may be able to incur substantially more debt and enter into other transactions which could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

- Our Sponsor has significant influence over us and its interests may conflict with ours in the future.
- Because we have no current plans to pay dividends on our ordinary shares, our shareholders may not receive any return on their investments unless they sell their ordinary shares for a price greater than that which they paid.
- Our shareholders may be diluted by the future issuance of additional ordinary shares in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise.
- Future issuances of ordinary shares by us, and the availability for resale of shares held by our Sponsor, may cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline.

- If our ordinary shares are not eligible for continued deposit and clearing within the facilities of DTC, then transactions in our securities may be disrupted and/or our ability to issue shares under our equity compensation plans may be restricted.
