EXPLANATORY NOTE

On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.”

On the Petition Date, the Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the(as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “RSA”) with consenting lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) holding, in the aggregate, approximately 61% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepetition Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as Holdings, Garrett LX III S.à r.l., as Lux Borrower, Garrett Borrowing LLC, as U.S. Co-Borrower, Garrett Motion S.à r.l., as Swiss Borrower, the Lenders and Issuing Banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the RSA, the Consenting Lenders and the Debtors have agreed to the principal terms of a financial restructuring, to be implemented through a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, (the “Plan”), and is expected towhich could include the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of certain Debtors and of the stock of certain Debtors and other subsidiaries, as further described below. On January 6, 2021, the Debtors and Consenting Lenders holding no less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans under the Prepetition Credit Agreement then held by all Consenting Lenders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amendment”), which, among other things, extended certain milestones contained in the RSA.

On the Petition Date, certain of the Debtors also entered into a share and asset purchase agreement (the(as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement”) with AMP Intermediate B.V. (the “Stalking Horse Bidder”) and AMP U.S. Holdings, LLC, each affiliates of KPS Capital Partners, LP (“KPS”), pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder has agreed to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the equity interests in each of Garrett LX I S.à r.l., and Garrett Transportation I Inc. (subject to an election by the Stalking Horse Bidder to purchase substantially all of the assets of Garrett Transportation I Inc., instead of its equity), along with certain other assets and liabilities of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan. On October 19, 2020, the Company received a proposal from the Stalking Horse Bidder to revise its bid following the Bankruptcy Court’s entry on October 24, 2020 of an order approving bidding procedures and stalking horse protections to, among other things, increase consideration by $500 million (for total consideration of $2.6 billion) and offer the Company’s existing stockholders the opportunity to co-invest in the reorganized business (the “Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal”).Debtors. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and are intended to constituteconstituted a “stalking horse” bid that iswas subject to higher and better bidsoffers by third parties in accordance with the bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Such bidsCourt in an order entered by the Bankruptcy Court after hearings on October 21, 2020 and October 23, 2020 (the “Bidding Procedures Order”). The Bidding Procedures Order permitted third parties may includeto submit competing proposals for stand-alone plansthe purchase and/or reorganization of reorganization.the Debtors and approved stalking horse protections for the Stalking Horse Bidder.

On October 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting interim approval of the Debtors’ entry into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Citibank N.A. as administrative agent (the “DIP Agent”). On October 9, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured, super-priority term loan (the “DIP Term Loan Facility”) in the principal amount of $200 million, $100 million of which was funded on the Closing Date and $100 million of which was subsequently funded on October 26, 2020, following entry of the Bankruptcy Court’s final order approving the DIP Term Loan Facility on October 23, 2020. The proceeds of the DIP Term Loan Facility are to be used by the Debtors to (a) pay certain costs, premiums, fees and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases, (b) make payments pursuant to any interim or final order entered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to any “first day” motions permitting the payment by the Debtors of any prepetition amounts then due and owing;owing, (c) make certain adequate protection payments in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement and (d) fund working capital needs of the Debtors and their subsidiaries to the extent permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement. On October 12, 2020, the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the First Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement (the “First DIP Amendment”). The First DIP Amendment eliminates the obligation for the Company to pay certain fees to the DIP Lenders in connection with certain prepayment events under the DIP Credit Agreement. On March 17, 2021, the Company prepaid $100 million that was previously outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement, and on March 31, 2021 the Company extended the maturity date for the loans remaining outstanding thereunder to April 30, 2021.

See Note 1 BackgroundIn accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors held an auction (the “Auction”) at which they solicited and Basisreceived higher and better offers from KPS and from a consortium made up of PresentationOwl Creek Asset Management, L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P., Jefferies LLC, Bardin Hill Opportunistic Credit Master Fund LP, Marathon Asset Management L.P., and Cetus Capital VI, L.P., or affiliates thereof (collectively, the “OWJ Group”). In addition to the bids received at the Auction from KPS and the OWJ Group, the Debtors also received a transaction proposal in parallel from Centerbridge Partners, L.P.(“Centerbridge”), Oaktree Capital Management, L.P.(“Oaktree”), Honeywell International Inc. and certain other investors and parties (the “Additional Investors” and, collectively, the “CO Group”). The Auction was completed on January 8, 2021, at which point the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court (i) an auction notice noting that a bid received from KPS was the successful bid at the Auction but that the Debtors were still considering the proposal from the CO Group, (ii) a plan of reorganization (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”) and (iii) a related disclosure statement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, (the “Disclosure Statement”).


On January 11, 2021, the Debtors, having determined that the proposal from the CO Group was a higher and better proposal than the successful bid of KPS at the Auction, entered into a Plan Support Agreement with the CO Group (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “PSA”) and announced their intention to pursue a restructuring transaction with the CO Group (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Notesentry into the PSA, (i) the Debtors filed a supplemental auction notice with the Bankruptcy Court on January 11, 2021 describing the Debtors’ determination to proceed with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for additional information regardingTransaction, (ii) the Chapter 11 Cases,Debtors filed a revised Plan to implement the RSA,Transaction and a related revised Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court on January 22, 2021 and (iii) the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement became terminable, following which, on January 15, 2021, the Stalking Horse Bidder terminated the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the DIP Credit Agreement. Debtors subsequently paid a termination payment of $63 million and an expense reimbursement payment of $15.7 million to the Stalking Horse Bidder pursuant to the terms of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Bidding Procedures Order.

In accordance with the terms of the PSA, on January 22, 2021, the Debtors’ entered into an Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “EBCA”) with certain members of the CO Group (the “Original Backstop Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company would conduct the rights offering contemplated by the PSA (as modified pursuant to the PSA from time to time, the “Rights Offering”) and each Original Backstop Party committed to (i) exercise its rights, as a stockholder of the Company, to purchase in the Rights Offering shares of the convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company to be offered in the Rights Offering (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) purchase, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with percentages set forth in the EBCA), shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were offered but not subscribed for in the Rights Offering.

On January 24, 2021, representatives of, the official committee of equity securities holders (the “Equity Committee”) submitted a restructuring term sheet for a proposed plan of reorganization sponsored by Atlantic Park.  The Equity Committee subsequently filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 5, 2021, a proposed plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement with respect to such transaction (as reflected in the proposed plan of reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the “Atlantic Park Proposal”). The transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were proposed as an alternative to the transactions contemplated under the Plan. In connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal, the Equity Committee filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to modify the Debtors’ exclusive periods to file and solicit votes on a Chapter 11 plan (the “Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion”). On February 9, 2021, the Equity Committee filed an objection to the Debtors’ motion seeking authority to enter into and perform under the PSA and the EBCA (the “Equity Committee Objection”). The Company had significant concerns with the feasibility of the Atlantic Park Proposal and concluded at the time that the transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were not reasonably likely to lead to a higher and better alternative plan of reorganization as compared to the Plan. The Equity Committee filed a revised proposed plan of reorganization and disclosure statement in connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal with the Bankruptcy Court on February 15, 2021.

On February 15, 2021, the Debtors and the CO Group agreed with certain of the Consenting Lenders to amend and restate the PSA so as to, among other things, add certain of the Consenting Lenders as parties thereto supporting the Plan.

Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on February 16, 2021, the Debtors, the CO Group, the Equity Committee and certain additional parties agreed to proceed with a court-approved mediation process to attempt to reach a consensual resolution regarding the Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion and the Equity Committee Objection at that time.

Through the mediation, the Debtors, the CO Group, Equity Committee and the additional parties to the mediation reached a consensual resolution regarding certain aspects of the Plan, and on March 9, 2021, the PSA was subsequently amended and restated, and a replacement EBCA among the Debtors and certain of the Additional Investors (the “Equity Backstop Parties”) was entered into, to provide for, among other things: (i) a direct equity investment of $668.8 million by Centerbridge and Oaktree to purchase Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) two Rights Offerings in an aggregate amount of $632 million (including an allocation of subscription rights to the Equity Backstop Parties as consideration for their agreement to backstop the Rights Offerings), and (iii) an increase of the conversion price to common stock of the Series A Preferred Stock from $3.50 to $5.25. On March 9, 2021 the Debtors filed amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court to reflect this consensual resolution. On March 12, 2021 the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving the Disclosure Statement, proposed procedures for solicitation of votes on the Plan and the Debtors’ entry into and performance and obligations under the PSA and the EBCA, which remain subject to customary closing conditions.  On March 12, 2021 the Debtors filed the solicitation versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.


As contemplated by the Plan, the Company filed a supplement to the Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan Supplement”) with the Bankruptcy Court on April 9, 2021, which includes drafts of certain documents related to the Plan and referenced therein. On April 20, 2021 and April 22, 2021, the Debtors filed amended Plan Supplements reflecting updates and other changes and corrections to certain of the draft documentation. Also, on April 20, 2021, the Debtors also filed an amended version of the Plan, reflecting, among other things, revised treatment of certain claims and certain other technical changes and corrections. Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on April 23, 2021, the Debtors filed a further amended Plan on April 26, 2021.

On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) among other things, confirming the Plan. The Company expects that the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective. It is also possible that technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to the Effective Date.

The disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in the context of the Chapter 11 Cases. All documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court are available for inspection at the Office of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court or online (a) for a fee on the Bankruptcy Court’s website at www.ecf.uscourts.gov and (b) free of charge on the website of the Debtors’ claims and noticing agent, Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC at http://www.kccllc.net/garrettmotion.garrettmotion.

GARRETT MOTION INC.

(Debtor-in-Possession)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

 

Background

(the “Company” or “Garrett”) designs, manufactures and sells highly engineered turbocharger and electric-boosting technologies for light and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the global vehicle independent aftermarket, as well as automotive software solutions. These OEMs in turn ship to consumers globally. We are a global technology leader with significant expertise in delivering products across gasoline, diesel, natural gas and electric (hybrid and fuel cell) powertrains. These products are key enablers for fuel economy and emission standards compliance.

 

COVID-19 and Our Credit Facilities

In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus disease,2020, the COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus has beenwas declared a pandemic and has spread across the world, including throughout Asia, the United States and Europe. Our business operations have been materially disrupted and our revenues have decreased significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures, and we expect our financial performance in the quarter ending December 31, 2020, and in future fiscal quarters, to be materially negatively affected by the pandemic and its impact on the global automotive industry.

On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “2020 Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit“Prepetition Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Garrett LX I S.à r.l., Garrett LX II S.à r.l., Garrett LX III S.à r.l., Garrett Borrowing LLC, and Garrett Motion Sàrl (f/k/a Honeywell Technologies Sàrl), the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, consisting of:

 

a seven-year term B loan facility, consisting of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”);

 

a five-year term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”); and

 

a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).

The primary purpose for entering into the 2020 Amendment was to obtain covenant relief with respect to the total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratios under thePrepetition Credit Agreement as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s leveraged capital structure.

The 2020 Amendment qualified as a debt modification that did not result in an extinguishment or have a material impact on our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below) constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations, as applicable, under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Prepetition Credit Agreement provides that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Prepetition Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Plan (as defined below) provides for payment in full of the Company’s obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Bankruptcy Court (as defined below) entered the Confirmation Order (as defined below) on April 26, 2021. The Company expects that the Effective Date (as defined below) will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

 

On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.”  On September 22 and 24, 2020, the


Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting interim approval of certain forms of relief requested by the Debtors, enabling the Debtors to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, including authorizing the Debtors to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay certain taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate the Debtors’ cash management system in the ordinary course, to maintain certain customer programs, and to pay the prepetition claims of


certain of the Debtors’ vendors. On October 20 21 and 26,21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting such relief on a final basis. For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Debtors continue to pay vendors under normal terms.

 

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852, Reorganizations. See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings, for further details.

Delisting from NYSE

On September 20, 2020, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in accordance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, that the NYSE had commenced proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE. The NYSE indefinitely suspended trading of the Company’s common stock on September 21, 2020. The Company determined not to appeal the NYSE’s determination. On October 8, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which removed the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on the NYSE effective as of the opening of business on October 19, 2020. Trading of the Company’s common stock now occurs on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “GTXMQ.” Any over-the-counter market quotations of the Company’s common stock reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Going Concern

The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Liabilities subject to compromise will be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases, among other factors. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Further, any plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result of our financial condition, uncertainty related to the impacts of COVID-19, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, substantial doubt exists that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

                  

 

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts presented are in millions, except per share amounts.

Asbestos-related expenses, net of probable insurance recoveries, are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations. Honeywell is subject to certain asbestos-related and environmental-related liabilities, primarily related to its legacy Bendix business. In conjunction with the Spin-Off, certain operations that were part of the Bendix business, along with the ownership of the Bendix trademark, as well as certain operations that were part of other legacy elements of the Business, were transferred to us. The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the indemnification and reimbursement agreement with Honeywell entered into on September 12, 2018 (the “Subordinated Asbestos“Honeywell Indemnity Agreement”), under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.  We are currently engaged in litigation againsthave accounted for the Honeywell in connectionliability consistent with the Subordinated Asbestosagreement up to the Petition Date and classified it as part of Liabilities Subject to Compromise.


Under the terms of the PSA and the Transaction, the Plan (as defined below), as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for (a) the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of all liabilities under or related to the Honeywell Indemnity Agreement. Agreement, that certain Indemnification Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc. as payee, Garrett ASASCO as payor, and certain subsidiary guarantors as defined therein (the “Guarantee Agreement,” and together with the Honeywell Indemnity Agreement, the “Indemnity Agreements”) and the Tax Matters Agreement and (b) the dismissal with prejudice of the Honeywell Litigation in exchange for (x) a $375 million cash payment at Emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases and (y) the new Series B Preferred Stock issued by the Company payable in installments of $35 million in 2022, and $100 million annually 2023-2030 (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Company will have the option to prepay the Series B Preferred Stock in full at any time at a call price equivalent to $584 million as of Emergence (representing the present value of the installments at a 7.25% discount rate). The Company will also have the option to make a partial payment of the Series B Preferred Stock, reducing the present value to $400 million, at any time within 18 months of Emergence. In every case the duration of future liabilities to Honeywell will be reduced from 30 years prior to the Chapter 11 filing to a maximum of nine years.

For additional information, see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.Contingencies, of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply chain risks as a result of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. Furthermore, while operating as “debtors-in-possession” under Chapter 11, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business and subject to


restrictions of the debtor in possession (“DIP”) financing, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Any such actions occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases, including through a plan of reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court could materially impact the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27,16, 2020 (our “2019“2020 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention: the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. For differences in actual closing dates that are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, such differences have been adjusted for the three months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 were April 3, 2021 and 2019 were September 26,March 28, 2020, and September 28, 2019, respectively.

Note 2. Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings

Key Events and Voluntary Petition for Reorganization

Due to the Company´s highly leveraged capital structure resulting from the Spin-Off, the Company began a strategic review process assisted by external financial advisers before the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic accelerated the review process to include the careful monitoring of liquidity and the consideration of potential court-supervised restructuring processes.

The strategic review process lasted months and considered a wide variety of options, including strategic mergers and stand-alone recapitalizations, both out-of-court and with the assistance of chapterChapter 11. The result of the Company’s strategic review process was the decision to commence a pre-filing marketing process for a cash sale of the business in chapterChapter 11, with the proceeds of the sale and any litigation recoveries related to the spin-off to be distributed to stakeholders. After the bidding process, the Company selected a winning bid of $2.1 billion from affiliatesAMP Intermediate B.V. (the “Stalking Horse Bidder”) and AMP U.S. Holdings, LLC, each affiliate of KPS Capital Partners, LP, (collectively, the “Stalking Horse Bidder”(“KPS”).


As described in greater detail below, the Stalking Horse Bidder and certain of the Debtors (the “Sellers”) entered into a share and asset purchase agreement (the “Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement”) on the Petition Date. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement contemplatesconstituted a combined stock and asset plan sale of the Company,“stalking horse” bid that was subject to overbid and public auction (the “Auction”) in the Chapter 11 Cases. As discussed in greater detail below, on October 19, 2020, the Company received a proposal from the Stalking Horse Bidder to revise its bid following the Bankruptcy Court’s entry on October 24, 2020 of an order approving bidding procedures and stalking horse protections to, among other things, increase consideration by $500 million (for total consideration of $2.6 billion) and offer the Company’s existing stockholders the opportunity to co-invest in the reorganized business (the “Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal”). The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal remain subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and to higher and better bids, andoffers by third parties in accordance with the Company remains free to solicit competing acquisition proposals, as well as stand-alone plan of reorganization proposals from stakeholders, prior tobidding procedures approved by the Auction. One such stand-alone plan proposal thatBankruptcy Court in an order entered by the Company has received and is evaluating is the proposal contemplated by a coordination agreement entered into by Honeywell International Inc., Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (collectively, the “Bidding Group”)Bankruptcy Court after hearings on October 16,21, 2020 as amended and restated on October 20,23, 2020 (the “Alternative Proposal”“Bidding Procedures Order”). The Company continuesBidding Procedures Order permitted third parties to evaluatesubmit competing proposals for the Alternative Proposal and expects to engage with the Bidding Group on the termspurchase and/or reorganization of the Alternative Proposal.Debtors and approved stalking horse protections for the Stalking Horse Bidder.

Following entry into the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, the Chapter 11 Cases were filedcommenced on the Petition Date. The Debtors filed certain motions and applications intended to limit the disruption of the Chapter 11 Cases on itstheir operations. Since the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have continued to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Bankruptcy Court has granted the first day relief wethe Debtors requested that was designed primarily to mitigate the impact of Chapter 11 Cases on our operations, customers and employees. As a result, we are able to conduct normal business activities and pay all associated obligations for the period following the Petition Date and we are also authorized to pay prepetition employee wages and benefits and certain vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course for goods and services provided prior to the Petition Date. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all transactions outside of the ordinary course of business require the prior approval of Bankruptcy Court.


In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors held an auction (the “Auction”) at which they solicited and received higher and better offers from KPS and from a consortium made up of Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P., Jefferies LLC, Bardin Hill Opportunistic Credit Master Fund LP, Marathon Asset Management L.P., and Cetus Capital VI, L.P., or affiliates thereof (collectively, the “OWJ Group”). In addition to the bids received at the Auction from KPS and the OWJ Group, the Debtors also received a transaction proposal in parallel to the Auction from Centerbridge Partners, L.P. (“Centerbridge”), Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”), Honeywell International Inc. and certain other investors and parties (collectively, the “CO Group”). The Auction was completed on January 8, 2021, at which point the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court (i) an auction notice noting that a bid received from KPS was the successful bid at the Auction but that the Debtors were still considering the proposal from the CO Group, (ii) a plan of reorganization (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan”) and (iii) a related disclosure statement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Disclosure Statement”).

On January 11, 2021, the Debtors, having determined that the proposal from the CO Group was a higher and better proposal than the successful bid of KPS at the Auction, entered into a Plan Support Agreement with the CO Group (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “PSA”) and announced their intention to pursue a restructuring transaction with the CO Group (the “Transaction”). As a result of the entry into the PSA, (i) the Debtors filed a supplemental auction notice with the Bankruptcy Court on January 11, 2021 describing the Debtors’ determination to proceed with the Transaction, (ii) the Debtors filed a revised Plan and related revised disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court on January 22, 2021 to implement the Transaction and (iii) the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement became terminable, following which, on January 15, 2021, the Stalking Horse Bidder terminated the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Debtors subsequently paid a termination payment of $63 million and an expense reimbursement payment of $15.7 million to the Stalking Horse Bidder Revisedpursuant to the terms of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Bidding Procedures Order.

In accordance with the terms of the PSA, on January 22, 2021, the Debtors’ entered into an Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “EBCA”) with certain members of the CO Group (the “Original Backstop Parties”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company would conduct the rights offering contemplated by the PSA (as modified pursuant to the PSA from time to time, the “Rights Offering”) and each Original Backstop Party committed to (i) exercise its rights, as a stockholder of the Company, to purchase in the Rights Offering shares of the convertible Series A preferred stock of the Company to be offered in the Rights Offering (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) purchase, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with percentages set forth in the EBCA), shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were offered but not subscribed for in the Rights Offering.

On January 24, 2021, representatives of the official committee of equity securities holders (the “Equity Committee”) submitted a restructuring term sheet for a proposed plan of reorganization sponsored by Atlantic Park.  The Equity Committee subsequently filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 5, 2021, a proposed plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement with respect to such transaction (as reflected in the proposed plan of reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the “Atlantic Park Proposal”). The transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were proposed as an alternative to the transactions contemplated under the Plan. In connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal, the Equity Committee filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking to modify the Debtors’ exclusive periods to file and solicit votes on a Chapter 11 plan (the “Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion”). On February 9, 2021, the Equity Committee filed an objection to the Debtors’ motion seeking authority to enter into and perform under the PSA and the EBCA (the “Equity Committee Objection”).  The Company had significant concerns with the feasibility of the Atlantic Park Proposal and concluded at the time that the transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were not


reasonably likely to lead to a higher and better alternative plan of reorganization as compared to the Plan. The Equity Committee filed a revised proposed plan of reorganization and disclosure statement in connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal with the Bankruptcy Court on February 15, 2021.

On February 15, 2021, the Debtors and the CO Group agreed with certain of the Consenting Lenders to amend and restate the PSA so as to, among other things, add certain of the Consenting Lenders as parties thereto supporting the Plan.

Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on February 16, 2021, the Debtors, the CO Group, the Equity Committee and certain additional parties agreed to proceed with a court-approved mediation process to attempt to reach a consensual resolution regarding the Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion and the Equity Committee Objection.

Through the mediation, the Debtors, the CO Group, the Equity Committee and the additional parties to the mediation, reached a consensual resolution regarding certain aspects of the Plan, and on March 9, 2021, the PSA was subsequently amended and restated, and a replacement EBCA among the Debtors and certain of the Additional Investors (the “Equity Backstop Parties”) was entered into, to provide for, among other things: (i) a direct equity investment of $668.8 million by Centerbridge and Oaktree to purchase the Series A Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan, (ii) two Rights Offerings in an aggregate amount of $632 million (including an allocation of subscription rights to the Equity Backstop Parties as consideration for their agreement to backstop the Rights Offerings), and (iii) an increase of the conversion price to common stock of the Series A Preferred Stock from $3.50 to $5.25. On March 9, 2021 the Debtors filed amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court to reflect this consensual resolution. On March 12, 2021 the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving the Disclosure Statement, the proposed procedures for solicitation of votes on the Plan and the Debtors’ entry into and performance and obligations under the PSA and the EBCA, which remain subject to customary closing conditions. On March 12, 2021 the Debtors filed the solicitation versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.

As contemplated by the Plan, the Company filed a supplement to the Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan Supplement”) with the Bankruptcy Court on April 9, 2021, which includes drafts of certain documents related to the Plan and referenced therein. On April 20, 2021, and April 22, 2021, the Debtors filed amended Plan Supplements reflecting updates and other changes and corrections to certain of the draft documentation. Also, on April 20, 2021, the Debtors also filed an amended version of the Plan, reflecting, among other things, revised treatment of certain claims and certain other technical changes and corrections.  Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on April 23, 2021, the Debtors filed a further amended Plan on April 26, 2021.

On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”), among other things, confirming the Plan. The Company expects that the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

Plan Support Agreement and Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement

On the Petition Date, certain of the “Sellers”Debtors entered into the “StalkingStalking Horse Purchase Agreement”Agreement with the Stalking Horse Bidder, pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder has agreed to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the equity interests in each of Garrett LX I S.à r.l., and Garrett Transportation I Inc. (subject to an election by the Stalking Horse Bidder to purchase substantially all of the assets of Garrett Transportation I Inc., instead of its equity), alongthe Debtors. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement constituted a “stalking horse” bid that was subject to higher and better offers by third parties in accordance with certain other assets and liabilitiesthe bidding procedures approved by the Bidding Procedures Order. The Bidding Procedures Order permitted third parties to submit competing proposals for the purchase and/or reorganization of the Debtors pursuantand approved stalking horse protections for the Stalking Horse Bidder. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors held the Auction at which they solicited and received higher and better offers from KPS and the OWJ Group. In addition to the bids received at the Auction from KPS and the OWJ Group, the Debtors also received a plan of reorganization undertransaction proposal in parallel from the CO Group. The Auction was completed on January 8, 2021, at which point the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Code (the “Acquired Assets”).Court (i) an auction notice noting that a bid received from KPS was the successful bid at the Auction but that the Debtors were still considering the proposal from the CO Group, (ii) a Plan and (iii) a related Disclosure Statement.

The acquisitionOn January 11, 2021, the Debtors, having determined that the proposal from the CO Group was a higher and better proposal than the successful bid of KPS at the Auction, entered into the PSA and announced their intention to pursue the Transaction.

IfStalking Horse Bidder terminated the Debtors receive additional bids, the Debtors expect to conduct an auction for the Acquired Assets no later than December 18, 2020. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement serves as the minimum or floor bid on whichand the Debtors their creditors, suppliers, vendors,subsequently paid a termination payment of $63 million and other bidders may rely. Other interested bidders are permitted to participate in the auction if they submit qualifying offers that are higher or otherwise better than the transaction pursuantan expense reimbursement payment of $15.7 million to the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement.

The PSA provides for the reimbursement by the Debtors of professional fees and expenses of the CO Group, subject to an interim cap of $25 million prior to Emergence and with the balance to be paid at Emergence, and certain of the Consenting Lenders and Consenting Noteholders. As of February 15, 2021, the CO Group estimated that the aggregate amount of professional fees and expenses expected to be payable by the Debtors under the PSA (inclusive of any amounts payable prior to Emergence) was approximately $82 million.

On March 9, 2021 the Debtors entered into the replacement EBCA with the Equity Backstop Parties, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will conduct the Rights Offerings and each Equity Backstop Party committed to (i) exercise its rights, as a stockholder of the Company, to purchase in the Rights Offerings shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) purchase, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with percentages set forth in the EBCA), shares of Series A Preferred Stock which were offered but not subscribed for in the Rights Offerings. The EBCA provides for the reimbursement by the Debtors of professional fees and expenses and filing fees incurred by the Equity Backstop Parties in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases in an aggregate amount that, together with and inclusive of amounts to be reimbursed pursuant to the PSA, do not exceed $25 million prior to Emergence. The EBCA further provides for indemnification by the Debtors of losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by the Equity Backstop Parties in connection with the Transaction.


The EBCA contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The EBCA is subject to certain termination events, including, without limitation, (a) by mutual agreement of the parties, (b) by the Company following an uncured breach of a representation, warranty or covenant in the EBCA by an Equity Backstop Party, or (c) by the Equity Backstop Parties constituting each of Centerbridge, Oaktree and a number of the other Equity Backstop Parties holding at least a majority of the rights to purchase Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the PSA (excluding any such rights held by Centerbridge and Oaktree) following an uncured breach by the Debtors of a representation, warranty or covenant in the EBCA. The EBCA will automatically terminate if the Plan Support Agreement terminates with respect to the rights and obligations of the Debtors prior to the occurrence of the effective date of the Plan in accordance with its terms.

Restructuring Support Agreement

On the Petition Date, the Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “RSA”) with consenting lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) holding, in the aggregate, approximately 61% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans under that certainthe Prepetition Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepetition Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as Holdings, Garrett LX III S.à r.l., as Lux Borrower, Garrett Borrowing LLC, as U.S. Co-Borrower, Garrett Motion Sàrl, as Swiss Borrower, the Lenders and Issuing Banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent.Agreement. Pursuant to the RSA, the Consenting Lenders and the Debtors have agreed to the principal terms of a financial restructuring, which will be implemented through a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) and willwhich could include the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of certain Debtors and of the stock of certain Debtors and other subsidiaries, as further described below.On January 6, 2021, the Debtors and Consenting Lenders holding no less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans under the Prepetition Credit Agreement then held by all Consenting Lenders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Amendment”), which, among other things, extended certain milestones contained in the RSA.

The RSA provides that the Consenting Lenders will support the Debtors’ restructuring efforts, including the proposed acquisition andapproval of the Plan, as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the RSA. In addition, the Consenting Lenders have agreed to the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Term Loan Facility (as defined below) discussed below.     

The RSA provides certain milestones for the Restructuring Transactions.Chapter 11 Cases.

Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transaction described therein will be consummated.

Plan of Reorganization

As described above, the Debtors filed the Plan and Disclosure Statement on January 8, 2021 and filed a revised Plan and revised Disclosure Statement on January 22, 2021 to implement the Transaction, with further amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement filed with the Bankruptcy Code, we currently haveCourt on February 15, 2021 and March 9, 2021.

Chapter 11 Accounting

The Company has applied ASC 852 in preparing our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the Company's reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses directly resulting from the reorganization and restructuring shall be reported separately as Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations. In addition, the balance sheet distinguishes pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and post-petition liabilities. Pre-petition liabilities that are not fully secured or those that have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the allowed claim amount have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may affirm, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory


contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with a Debtor in this quarterly report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with a Debtor is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provides for the assumption of all of the Debtors’ executory contracts and unexpired leases except for certain agreements with Honeywell.

Reorganization Items, Net

The Debtors have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with the reorganization, including the write-off of original issue discount and deferred long-term debt fees on debt, a component of liabilities subject to compromise, costs of debtor-in-possession financing and legal and professional fees. The amount of these charges, which since the Petition Date are being expensed as incurred, are expected to significantly affect the Company’s results of operations. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as Reorganization items, net within the Company's Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Reorganization items, net, are comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020:March 31, 2021:

Pre-petition Long-Term Debt during the Chapter 11 Cases

We are party to athe Prepetition Credit Agreement, , dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, consisting of: a seven-year term B loan facility, consisting of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”); a five-year term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”); and a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Prepetition Credit Agreement was amended on June 12, 2020 (the “2020 Amendment”).

On September 27, 2018, we completed the offering of €350 million (approximately $410 million based on exchange rates as of September 27, 2018) in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.125% and mature on October 15, 2026.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 27, 2018 (the “Indenture”), which, among other things and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, limits our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain disqualified equity interests and preferred shares, (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments, (iii) make investments, (iv) consummate certain asset sales or transfers, (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (vi) grant or assume certain liens on assets to secure debt unless the Senior Notes are secured equally and ratably (vii) restrict dividends and other payments by certain of their subsidiaries and (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or our restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

All debt issuance costs, except for those associated to the Revolving Credit Facility, are deferred and recognized as a direct deduction to the related debt liability and are amortized to interest expense over the debt term. The Company paid approximately $37 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Term A Facility, Term B Facility, and Senior Notes.  

Debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility were capitalized in Other assets and are amortized to interest expense over the debt term. Approximately, $6 million of debt issuance costs were paid in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility issued on September 27, 2018.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in order to adjust the carrying amount of the debt to the expected allowed claim amount in accordance with ASC 852, the Company expensed $6 million of deferred issuance costs related to the pre-petition Senior Notes which are not fully secured in 2020. These costs were recorded to Reorganization items, net, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings for further discussion.


The principal amounts outstanding on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 are as follows:

(2)

The Senior Notes are not fully secured and have been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise in the Company's Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. As of the Petition Date, the Company ceased accruing related interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations and terminated undrawn commitments, as applicable, under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Prepetition Credit Agreement provides that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Prepetition Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

During the Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, we make monthly payments of adequate protection at the contractual non-default rate of interest on loans and certain other obligations under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Following commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the contractual non-default rate of interest that is applicable under Senior Secured Credit Facilities is either (a) in the case of dollar denominated borrowings, base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1% per annum (“ABR”), (b) in the case of borrowings denominated in certain permitted foreign currencies other than dollars or euros, an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), or (c) in the case of borrowings denominated in euros, an adjusted EURIBOR rate (“EURIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), in each case, plus an applicable margin. Pursuant to the 2020 Amendment, (i) the margin applicable to loans under the Term B Facility increased by 75 basis points through the maturity date and (ii) the margin applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility and Term A Facility increased by 25 basis points until the Company delivers consolidated financial statements as of and for its first fiscal quarter ending on or after the last day of the Relief Period (as defined in the 2020 Amendment). Pursuant to the 2020 Amendment, the margin applicable to loans under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities increased by 25 basis points on September 4, 2020 following a downgrade in our corporate credit rating by S&P Global ratings.

The applicable margin for the U.S. Dollar tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 2.50% per annum (for ABR loans) while that for the euro tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 3.75% per annum (for EURIBOR loans). The applicable margin for each of the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility varies based on our leverage ratio. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR, EURIBOR or future changes in our corporate rating or leverage ratio.

Financial Statement Classification of Liabilities Subject to Compromise

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors’ business and assets. Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court authorized, but did not require, the Debtors to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employee wages and benefits, taxes, critical vendors and foreign vendors. Pre-petition


liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determination of secured status of certain claims, the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims, proof of claims or other events.

The following table presents liabilities subject to compromise as reported in the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020:March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

Potential Claims

TheOn November 3, 2020, the Debtors intend to filefiled with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements for Garrett Motion Inc., Garrett Motion Holdings Inc., Garrett ASASCO Inc. and Garrett Motion Holdings II Inc. (collectively, the “Initial Reporting Debtors”), setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Sellers,Initial Reporting Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. On December 18, 2020, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements for each of the remaining Debtors, setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the remaining Debtors, subject to bethe assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may beare subject to further amendment or modification after filing.modification. As part of the Chapter 11 Cases, parties believing that they have claims or causes of action against the Debtors may file proofs of claim evidencing such claims. We anticipate that certainAll holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units will beagainst the Initial Reporting Debtors were required to filehave submitted proofs of claim with respect to such claims by December 18, 2020 (other than holders of claims under U.S. securities laws, which were required to have submitted proofs of claim with respect to such claims by March 1, 2021). All holders of governmental pre-petition claims against the SellersInitial Reporting Debtors are required to submit proofs of claim with respect to such claims by May 3, 2021. All holders of pre-petition claims against the deadline for generalremaining Debtors were required to have submitted proofs of claim with respect to such claims which is currently expectedby March 1, 2021. All holders of governmental pre-petition claims against the remaining Debtors are required to be December 11, 2020 (the “General Bar Date”).submit proofs of claim with respect to such claims by June 14, 2021.

The Debtors' have received 122,487 proofs of claim as of OctoberApril 26, 2020, primarily representing general unsecured claims, in2021, for an amount of approximately $1 million.$146 billion.Such amount includes duplicate claims across multiple debtor legal entities. As claims are filed against the Debtors, the claims will be reconciled to amounts recorded in the Company's accounting records. Differences in amounts recorded and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate. TheIn addition, the Company may ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Company believes are duplicative, have been later amended or superseded, are without merit, are overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons. In addition, as a result of this process, the Company may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise. In the light of the substantial number of claims already filed, and expected to be filed, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete and likely willmay continue after the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy. As of October 30,April 26, 2021 the Company’s assessment of the validity of claims received has not been completed.

DIP Credit Agreement

On October 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting interim approval of the Debtors’ entry into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the(as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “DIP Lenders”) and Citibank N.A. as administrative


agent (the “DIP Agent”). On October 9, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured, super-priority term loan (the “DIP Term Loan Facility”) with a maximum principal amount of $200 million, $100 million of which was funded on the Closing Date and $100 million of which was subsequently funded on October 22, 2020 (the “Delayed Draw Borrowing Date”), following entry of the Bankruptcy Court’s final order approving the DIP Term Loan Facility on October 21, 2020. The proceeds of the DIP Term Loan Facility are to be used by the Debtors to (a) pay certain costs, premiums, fees and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases, (b) make payments pursuant to any interim or final order entered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to any “first day” motions permitting the payment by the Debtors of any prepetition amounts then due and owing; (c) make certain adequate protection payments in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement and (d) fund working capital needs of the Debtors and their subsidiaries to the extent permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement.

The original maturity date of the DIP Term Loan Facility iswas the earlier to occur of (a) March 31, 2021 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”); provided, however, that upon the Company’s written request such Scheduled Maturity Date can be extended by three separate one-month extensions subject to (i) the payment of an extension fee to the Lenders equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at the time of such extension, (ii) no default or Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) existing at the time of such extension and (iii) accuracy of the representations and warranties in all material respects at the time of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and (b) the effective date of a plan of reorganization; and certain other events under the DIP Credit Agreement.On March 17, 2021, the Company prepaid $100 million that was previously outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement, and on March 31, 2021 the Company exercised its first extension option and extended the maturity date for the loans remaining outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement to April 30, 2021.

TheFollowing the exercise by the Company of its initial maturity date extension option, the outstanding principal amount under the DIP Term Loan Facility will bearbears interest at a rate equal to (x) prior to March 31, 2021, LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus 4.50% per annum and (y) following March 31, 2021, if the Scheduled Maturity Date has been extended at such time, LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus 5.50% per annum in each case, compounded monthly and payable every 30 days in arrears. On the Closing Date, the Company paid 1.00% in commitment fees on the total commitment plus 2.00% in fees in the form of original issue discount on the initial $100 million borrowing. On the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date, date the Company paid 2.00% in fees in the form of original issue discount on the $100 million delayed draw loan. Upon an event of default, all outstanding amounts under the DIP Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable interest rate plus an additional 2.00% per annum and be payable on demand.

Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the obligations arising under the prepetition Credit Agreement and that are Debtors in the Chapter 11 Case have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the DIP Term Loan Facility is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors. The DIP Financing is subject to certain covenants, including, without limitation, related to the incurrence of additional debt, liens, the making of restricted payments, and the Company’s failure to comply with certain bankruptcy-related covenants, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and events of default that are customary for debtor-in-possession facilities of this type. The DIP Financing is subject to certain prepayment events, including, without limitation, upon the sale of certain assets, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

On October 12, 2020, the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the First Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment eliminates the obligation for the Company to pay certain fees to the DIP Lenders in connection with certain prepayment events under the DIP Credit Agreement.

The principal amounts outstanding on Debtor-in-possession financing as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 23 to the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included in our 20192020 Form 10-K. We include hereinThere were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year classifications, specifically certain updates to those policies.

Trade Receivablesitems that had been previously recorded in selling, general and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount as a resultadministrative expenses presented now within cost of transactions with customers. Garrett maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of a customer’s inability to make required payments. As of January 1, 2020, Garrett adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.goods sold. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. The guidance is also applicable to contract assets such as unbilled receivables. Consistent with the new guidance, Garrett estimates losses from doubtful accounts expected over the contractual life of the receivables based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date and collection history. Garrett also takes into consideration changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends (for example, customers in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization). Receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined uncollectible. Such determination includes analysis and consideration of the particular conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed upon payment plans, solvency of customer and any bankruptcy proceedings. 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measures.

The effective tax rate was (29.6%) and 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The negative effective tax rate for 2021 reflects a tax expense in a period of an overall pre-tax loss.  The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period primarily related to the increase in nondeductible bankruptcy costs and the absence of tax benefits from lower withholding taxes.  

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily because of a decrease in withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings, partially offset by true ups from local filings.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because of a decrease in withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings, partially offset by an increase in tax reserves and non-deductible expenses that are not impacted proportionately with lower pre-tax book income.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily duebecause of pre-tax losses related to a reduction of withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.nondeductible bankruptcy and restructuring costs.  


The

For the period ended March 31, 2020 the Company computed its effective tax rate using actual year to date information rather than a full year forecast to compute an annual effective tax rate. Based on available forecasts which took into account a range of potential impacts from COVID-19, the Company’s effective tax rate was expected to be highly sensitive to changes in pre-tax book income because of non-deductible asbestos related expenses which have no correlation to earnings. Accordingly, the Company concluded that computing its effective tax rate using year to date actual results was its best estimate of tax expense for the nine monthsperiod ended September 30, 2019 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses and tax reserves, partially offset by lower withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates.March 31, 2020.

The effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to changes in the Company’s global mix of earnings, impacts of Covid-19, the resolution of income tax audits, changes in tax laws (including updated guidance on U.S. tax reform), deductions related to employee share-based payments, internal restructurings and pension mark-to-market adjustments.

In connection with the global outbreak of COVID-19, many countries have enacted legislation to provide various forms of emergency economic relief, including the CARES Act in the United States, that may provide financial benefits to the Company. At this time, we doSuch benefits have not expect such benefits to havehad a material impact toon the Company.

Note 15. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Our credit, market and foreign currency risk management policies are described in Note 18, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures, of the notes to the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20192020 included in our 20192020 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we had contracts with aggregate gross notional amounts of $373$170 million and $1,82019 million, respectively, to limit interest rate risk and to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Swiss Franc, British Pound, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Romanian Leu, Czech Koruna, Australian Dollar and Korean Won.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has been limited in its ability to enter into hedging transactions. The Company has obtained Bankruptcy Court authorization for continuing hedging activities in the ordinary course of business, however, counterparties have either been unwilling to enter into hedging transactions with the Company during the Chapter 11 Cases or have required the Company to fully cash collateralize its obligations under the relevant hedging instrument, which has effectively reduced the Company’s ability to hedge foreign currency exposures beyond those relating to trade payables and receivables.

Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019:2020:

The foreign currency exchange, interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts are valued using market observable inputs. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of the cross-currency swap are considered Level 2 inputs, which are based upon market observable interest rate curves, cross currency basis curves, credit default swap curves, and foreign exchange rates.

 

As a result ofFollowing our voluntary filing for Chapter 11 protection, alland as noted in the table above, the majority of our foreign exchange, interest rate swap, and cross-currency swap contracts were stayed as of the Petition Date. As noted in the table above, the majority were terminated at or prior to September 30, 2020. All outstanding amounts as


of September 30,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 arewere classified as Other Liabilities and are fully secured and payable upon emergence of the Chapter 11 cases.Emergence. Any valuation difference from our Petition Date to the termination date will be reflected in Reorganization items, net. See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings, for additional information.

 


A number of our forward currency exchange contracts are also designated as accounting hedges. Upon termination, these amounts have been dedesignated. As the Company still anticipates the forecasted transaction to commence, the amounts in accumulated comprehensive incomes will be released based on our original forecast.    

The carrying value of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Account receivables and Notes and Other receivables contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.

Obligations payable to Honeywell

Honeywell is a defendant in asbestos-related personal injury actions mainly related to its legacy Bendix friction materials (“Bendix”) business. The Bendix business manufactured automotive brake linings that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake replacements. Certain operations that were part of the Bendix business were transferred to Garrett.


In connection with the Spin-Off, Garrett ASASCO, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity


Agreement with Honeywell on September 12, 2018. As of the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, Garrett ASASCO is obligated to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’scertain Honeywell asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by Honeywell as of a date within two business days prior to the date of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of $175 million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year. The payments that Garrett ASASCO is required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.During the first quarter of 2020, Garrett ASASCO paid Honeywell the Euro-equivalent of $35 million in connection with the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. Honeywell and Garrett agreed to defer the payment under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement due May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Q2 Payment”).  We, however we do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplatedPlan, as confirmed by the RSA, if confirmed, will provideBankruptcy Court, includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for, among other things, the treatmentfull and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement, including pre-petitionall liabilities under or related to the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed during the Chapter 11 Cases.Agreements.

On December 2, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Garrett ASASCO, filed a Summons with Notice in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “NY Supreme Court”) commencing an action (the “Action”) against Honeywell, certain of Honeywell’s subsidiaries and certain of Honeywell’s employees for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. On January 15, 2020, the Company and Garrett ASASCO, filed a Complaint in the NY Supreme Court in connection with the Action. The lawsuit arises from the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. The Company is seeking declaratory relief; compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial; rescission of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement; attorneys’ fees and costs and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. There can be no assurance as to the time and resources that will be required to pursue these claims or the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit. Among other claims, Garrett asserts that Honeywell is not entitled to indemnification because it improperly seeks indemnification for amounts attributable to punitive damages and intentional misconduct, and because it has failed to establish other prerequisites for indemnification under New York law. Specifically, the claim asserts that Honeywell has failed to establish its right to indemnity for each and every asbestos settlement of the thousands for which it seeks indemnification. The Action seeks to establish that the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement is not enforceable, in whole or in part. On March 5, 2020, Honeywell filed a “Notice of Motion to Dismiss Garrett’s Complaint.” The parties agreed to certain schedules for the case that provided that Garrett would file an amended complaint, then Honeywell would have an opportunity to file another motion to dismiss in response.Complaint”. On September 20, 2020, Garrett and certain of its subsidiaries each filed the Chapter 11 Cases. On September 23, 2020, Garrett removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and on September 24, 2020, the case was referred to the Bankruptcy Court, where the case is currently pending. On October 13, 2020, Honeywell filed a motion to dismiss in the Bankruptcy Court.  Garrett does not believe Honeywell’s motion has merit, and Garrett plans to respond.merit. A pre-trial conference took place on October 22, 2020. The Court is expected to hearheard argument on Honeywell’s pending motion to dismiss on November 18, 2020.  2020; the Court has not yet issued a decision. On November 2, 2020, the Garrett entities that are Debtors and Debtors in Possession filed a Motion Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 502(c) To Establish Procedures For Estimating The Maximum Amount Of Honeywell’s Claims And Related Relief (“Motion”).   The Court heard argument on the Motion on November 18.  The Court ordered an estimation proceeding to take place to estimate all of Honeywell’s claims against the Garrett entities that are Debtors and Debtors in Possession.

On December 18, 2020, Honeywell filed proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, asserting that the Company owes at least $1.9 billion in respect of such claims. The Bankruptcy Court was scheduled to estimate the amount of Honeywell’s claims in an estimation proceeding that was scheduled to commence on February 1, 2021. As noted below, the estimation proceeding has been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy Court.

On January 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle Honeywell’s claims as part of a broader revised Plan. The Plan is subject to various conditions.

Under the Plan, Honeywell would receive a $375 million payment and Series B Preferred Stock payable in installments of $35 million in 2022, and $100 million annually 2023-2030. The Company would have the option to prepay the Series B Preferred Stock in full at any time at a call price equivalent to $584 million as of the Emergence date (representing the present value of the installments at a 7.25% discount rate).  The Company will also have the option to make a partial payment of the Series B Preferred Stock, reducing the present value to $400 million, at any time within 18 months of Emergence.

On January 15, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court ordered that the Action and the estimation proceeding both be stayed pending the Bankruptcy Court’s consideration of the Plan. On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order.


On September 12, 2018, we also entered into a tax matters agreement with Honeywell (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Honeywell and us after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax contests). The Tax Matters Agreement generally provides that, following the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for all taxes, including income taxes, sales taxes, value-added and payroll taxes, relating to Garrett for all periods, including periods prior to the completion date of the Spin-Off. Among other items, as a result of the mandatory transition tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell in the amount representing the net tax liability of Honeywell under the mandatory transition tax attributable to us, as determined by Honeywell. We estimateAdditionally, the Tax Matters Agreement provides that Garrett ASASCO’s total aggregateASASCO is to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell for a portion of Honeywell’s net tax liability under Section 965(h)(6)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code for mandatory transition taxes that Honeywell determined is attributable to us (the “MTT Claim”). Following the Spin-Off, Honeywell asserted that Garrett ASASCO was obligated to pay $240 million to Honeywell for the MTT Claim under the Tax Matters Agreement.  Accordingly, and in connection with the Tax Matters Agreement, we made payments to Honeywell, with respect tounder protest, for the mandatory transition tax will be $240Euro-equivalent of $18 million with $200and $19 million in payments remaining asduring 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively, for the MTT Claim. On October 30, 2020, however, Honeywell filed an SEC Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020.2020, reporting that its claim against us under the Tax Matters Agreement, including the MTT Claim, is now $273 million. Under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is required to pay this amount in Euros, without interest, in 5 annual installments, each equal to 8% of the aggregate amount, followed by three additional annual installments equal to 15%, 20% and 25% of the aggregate amount, respectively. Following the Spin-Off in October 2018, Garrett ASASCO paid the first annual installment in October 2018, with subsequent annual installments to be paid in April of each year. The annual installment due on April 1, 2020 has beenwas initially deferred to December 31, 2020 in agreement with Honeywell.Honeywell, and subsequently not paid as a result of the automatic stay applicable to the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. We do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Tax Matters Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

On July 17, 2020, we provided notice to Honeywell asserting that Honeywell has caused material breaches of the Tax Matters Agreement and that the Tax Matters Agreement is unenforceable. The plan contemplated by the RSA, if confirmed, will provide for the treatmentvalue and validity of Honeywell’s claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Tax Matters Agreement, including pre-petition liabilities under the Tax Matters Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed duringMTT Claim, are currently being litigated in the Chapter 11 Cases. As described above, the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for, among other things, the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of all liabilities under or related to the Tax Matters Agreement.

In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides that we are required to indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law. Further, the Tax Matters Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, redemptions or repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to address compliance with Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are intended to preserve the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off.


On July 17, 2020, we provided noticeThe Obligation payable to Honeywell asserting thatrelated to these agreements was deemed a pre-petition, unsecured liability subject to compromise. On the Petition Date, the Obligation was stayed from further payment and, in accordance with ASC 852-10, measured at the expected allowed claim amount. The Company measured the expected allowed claim as of December 31, 2020 utilizing a combination of data points including: (1) the historical actuarial claims data provided by Honeywell has caused material breachesup to December 31, 2019 (2) the aforementioned Honeywell claims estimation trial proceedings, (3) Honeywell’s bankruptcy claim filed with the Bankruptcy Court, and (4) the expected settlement of the Tax Matters Agreement and thatHoneywell liabilities as per the Tax Matters Agreement is unenforceable.Plan of Reorganization.

The following table summarizes our Obligation payable to Honeywell related to these agreements. As of September 30,March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all amounts have been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets:

Asbestos Matters

The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement with Honeywell entered into by Garrett ASASCO on September 12, 2018, under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

As stated above, on January 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle Honeywell’s claims as part of a revised Plan. This settlement would extinguish our obligations to Honeywell under the Honeywell Indemnity Agreement.

Securities Litigation

On September 25, 2020, a putative securities class action securities complaint was filed against Garrett Motion Inc. and certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The case bears the caption:caption: Steven Husson, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Garrett Motion Inc., Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-07992-JPC (SDNY) (the “Husson Action”).  The Husson Action assertsasserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, for securities fraud and control person liability.  On September 28, 2020, the plaintiff sought to voluntarily dismiss his claim against Garrett Motion Inc.; in light of the Company’s bankruptcy; this request has been referred to the judge for approval. was granted.  

On October 5, 2020, another putative securities class action securities complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  This case bears the caption: The Gabelli Asset Fund, The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Value 25 Fund Inc., The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc., SM Investors LP and SM Investors II LP, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, v. Su Ping Lu, Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, Craig Balis, Thierry Mabru, Russell James, Carlos M. Cardoso, Maura J. Clark, Courtney M. Enghauser, Susan L. Main, Carsten Reinhardt, and Scott A.

On November 5, 2020, another putative securities class action complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. This case bears the caption: Joseph Froehlich, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Olivier Rabiller, Allesandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-09279-JPC (SDNY) (the “Froehlich Action”). The Froehlich Action also asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.

All three actions are currently assigned to Judge John P. Cronan. Su Ping Lu filed a waiver of service in the Gabelli Action on November 10, 2020.  On November 24, 2020, competing motions were filed seeking the publicly-available dockets, service has not yet been effectedappointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel and the consolidation of the Husson, Gabelli, and Froehlich Actions.  


On December 8, 2020, counsel for eitherthe plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action – the Entwistle & Cappucci law firm – filed an unopposed stipulation and proposed order that would (1) appoint the plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action – the “Gabelli Entities” – the lead plaintiffs; (2) would appoint Entwistle & Cappucci as lead counsel for the plaintiff class; and (3) consolidate the Gabelli Action, the Husson Action, orand the Froehlich Action. On January 21, 2021, the Court granted the motion to consolidate the actions and granted the Gabelli Action.   Entities’ motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and for selection of lead counsel.  On February 25, 2021, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint for Violation of the Federal Securities Laws.  Defendants’ motion to dismiss is due by April 26, 2021; Plaintiffs’ opposition is due by June 25, 2021; and Defendants’ reply is due by July 26, 2021.

The Company believes itCompany’s insurer, AIG has meritorious defensesaccepted the defense, subject the customary reservation of rights.

The bankruptcy court set a bar date of March 1, 2021 for current and former shareholders to file claims against the Debtors arising from rescission of a purchase or sale of common stock of Garrett Motion Inc., for damages arising from the purchase or sale of common stock of Garrett Motion Inc., or for reimbursement or contribution allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code on account of such claims arising (or deemed to have arisen) prior to the Petition Date for all securities claims arising prior to the Petition Date.  We are not yet able to assess the likelihood that any such claims will be allowed.  To the extent allowed, each holder of such claims will be entitled to receive, (x) its pro rata share of the plaintiffsaggregate cash payments received or recoverable from any insurance policies of the Company on account of any such allowed claims and (y) solely to the extent that such payments are less than the amount of its allowed claim, payment in full of the remaining amount of its allowed claim, at the option of the reorganized Debtors, in cash or a number of shares of Garrett common stock at a value of $6.25 per share.

Make-Whole Litigation

On November 13, 2020, certain of the Debtors (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against the indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) of the 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) seeking declaratory judgment on two claims for relief that the Debtors do not owe, and the holders of the Senior Notes (the “Noteholders”) are not entitled to, any liabilitymake-whole premium under the Indenture (the “Make-Whole” and such litigation, the “Make-Whole Litigation”). Certain Noteholders have contended in these Chapter 11 Cases that the Noteholders are entitled to payment of the Make-Whole under the terms of the Indenture, which provide for the alleged claimspayment of the Make-Whole if the Debtors exercise their right to redeem the Senior Notes prior to maturity, as a result of the Debtors’ commencement of their Chapter 11 Cases. The Plaintiffs’ position is that the Noteholders are not currently probable or reasonably estimable.entitled to any Make-Whole because the Debtors have not exercised their right of redemption as contemplated by the Indenture and, in the alternative, the Make-Whole should be disallowed as unmatured interest pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 8, 2021, the Indenture Trustee filed an answer to the Debtors’ complaint. On January 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle the Make-Whole Litigation as part of the transactions and settlements embodied in the Plan. The Plan is subject to various conditions.  Pursuant to the settlement embodied in the Plan, the Make Whole is an allowed claim in the amount of $15 million. As the Confirmation Order was not entered by the Bankruptcy Court until April 26, 2021, the Make Whole was 0t recorded as of March 31, 2021. The Debtors and the Indenture Trustee agreed to suspend all litigation activities related to and stay the Make-Whole Litigation to permit Bankruptcy Court consideration of the Plan and to dismiss with prejudice the Make-Whole Litigation upon the Effective Date.

Other Matters

In September 2020, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an infraction notice against Garrett Motion Industria Automotiva Brasil Ltda, challenging the use of certain tax credits (“Befiex Credits”) between January 2017 and February 2020. The infraction notice results in a loss contingency that may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. The estimated total amount of the contingency as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was $27 million including penalties and interest. The Company plans to appealappealed the infraction notice. However,notice on October 23, 2020. In March 2021, in response to our request, the Brazilian Tax Authorities reconsidered their position for a portion of the $27 million mentioned above and allowed Garrett Motion Brazil the right to offset Federal Tax with the Befiex Credits. The letter does not qualify as a formal decision and requires formal recognition from the Judge and from the Federal Judgement Office in charge of the disputes. The Company believes, based on management’s assessment and the advice of external legal counsel, that it has meritorious arguments in connection with the infraction notice and any liability for the infraction notice is currently not probable. Accordingly, no accrual is required at this time.


Note 19. Pension Benefits

We sponsor several funded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Significant plans outside of the U.S. are in Switzerland and Ireland. Other pension plans outside of the U.S. are not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.

Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. We are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plan in 2020.2021. We expect to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $7 million to our non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards in 2020,2021, of which $6$1 million has been contributed through the first ninethree months of the year.

Net periodic benefit costs for our significant defined benefit plans include the following components:

For both our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, we estimate the service and interest cost components of net period benefit (income) cost by utilizing a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these cost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows. This approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and their corresponding spot rates.

Note 20. China Variable Interest Entity

On September 20, 2018 in preparation of the Spin-Off, we entered into an agreement by and between Honeywell and Garrett (the “China Purchase Agreement”) in which Honeywell agreed to sell to Garrett 100% of the equity interests of Honeywell Transportation Investment (China) Co., Ltd. (“Garrett China”) consisting of our primary operations in China, in exchange for upfront consideration of 8,444,077 shares of our common stock. No further consideration from Garrett was due. The China Purchase Agreement was amended to extend the date of the transfer of the equity interests in Garrett China from September 20, 2019 to June 30, 2020.

Prior to the transfer of the equity interests, Garrett China was considered a variable interest entity for which Garrett is the primary beneficiary because the China Purchase Agreement provided Garrett control to direct the management and operation of Garrett China as well as all economic benefits and losses. The intent of the agreement was to place Garrett in the same position as if it already owned 100% of the equity interests of Garrett China. As the agreement was effective prior to the Spin-Off date while the Company and Garrett China were under common control of Honeywell, the assets and liabilities of Garrett China were recognized at their carrying amounts.

On June 3, 2020 Honeywell transferred 100% of the equity interests of Garrett China in accordance with the China Purchase Agreement.  Following the transfer, Garrett continues to consolidate Garrett China. However, Garrett China is no longer considered to be a variable interest entity as Garrett now owns 100% of the equity interests.  There was no change in the basis of the net assets of Garrett China as the transaction did not result in a change of control under U.S. GAAP.


Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, which we refer to as our “MD&A,” should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, included in our Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 202016, 2021 (our “2019“2020 Form 10-K”). Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our 20192020 Form 10-K and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in, or implied, by these forward-looking statements.

The following, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help you understand the results of operations and financial condition of Garrett Motion Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Overview and Business Trends

Garrett designs, manufactures and sells highly engineered turbocharger and electric-boosting technologies for light and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the global vehicle independent aftermarket as well as automotive software solutions. These OEMs in turn ship to consumers globally. We are a global technology leader with significant expertise in delivering products across gasoline, diesel, natural gas and electric (hybrid and fuel cell) powertrains. These products are key enablers for fuel economy and emission standards compliance.

Market penetration of vehicles with a turbocharger is expected to increase from approximately 49%53% in 20192020 to approximately 55%56% by 2023,2024, according to IHS Markit (“IHS”), which we believe will allow the turbocharger market to grow at a faster rate than overall automobile production. We expect that the powertrain mix evolution trends will remain mostly unchanged, which should support the turbocharger industry in the short to medium term. In particular, the phasing outreduction of battery electric vehiclesvehicle (“BEV”) incentiveincentives in China from June 2019 and the change in new energy vehicles (“NEV”) credit policy in November 2019, have significantly reducedled to a drop in BEV penetration in China between July 2019 and June 2020. Renewed sales incentives, especially in China.Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, as well as non-financial incentives such as more generous license-plate quotas for major metropolitan areas, bolstered Chinese BEV penetration in the second half of 2020. In Europe, the COVID-19 stimulus packages are mostly directed to electric vehicles, but we do not expect a material adverse impact on the turbocharger market in the short term, as selling price, charging time, charging infrastructure availability and profitability issues for OEMs remain challenges.challenged to adoption. However, in the long term, a revision of CO2 reduction targets by 2030 proposed by the E.U. could drive an increase of BEV penetration in Europe beyond currently forecasted levels. The turbocharger market volume growth is expected to be particularly strong in China and other high-growth regions in the same period.

In the short to medium term, we believe that turbo penetration will grow as turbos remain one of the most cost-efficient levers to improve the fuel efficiency of conventional Gasoline and Diesel vehicles as well as hybrid and fuel-cell vehicles. Growth in the turbo market is expected in all regions, with special mention for high-growth regions in Asia, where rising income levels continue to drive long-term automotive and vehicle content demand. While these positive factors do not isolate the turbo industry from fluctuations in global vehicle production volumes, such factors may mitigate the negative impact of macroeconomic cycles, or the negative impact of a shift from light vehicle Diesel to light vehicle Gasoline engines. At the same time, the global semiconductor shortage is creating uncertainty across multiple industries, including the automotive industry, and will influence our operating activity this year. Automotive OEMs have reduced production plans in the first two quarters and have planned recovery of lost production in the second half of 2021. The situation is fluid and we believe it is premature to quantify the full year impact. The Company is currently reviewing production at OEM plants and is closely monitoring supply chain disruptions related to semiconductor shortages in an effort to minimize the impact of the bottleneck in supply and to mitigate any potential disruption in production.

In addition, specific to Garrett’s reorganization and Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below), financial situation and high debt leverage, we have seen an increase in potential risk developing with some OEMs questioning whether to award (or award less) new business to Garrett in the next few years, which has impacted our long term revenue expectations. In the shorter term, financial stability concerns could also drive some OEMs to consider dual sourcing some of the high volume engine platforms, already awarded to Garrett, in order to balance perceived supply risk and possibly shift volumes to the second source supplier.


Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings

On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Garrett Motion Inc.the Petition Date, the Debtors each entered into the RSA and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) and a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United StatesBankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”).Court. The Debtors’ chapterChapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”)Cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.”


On the Petition Date, certain of the Debtors also entered into a share and asset purchase agreement (the “Stalkingthe Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement”)Agreement with AMP Intermediate B.V. (the “Stalkingthe Stalking Horse Bidder”)Bidder and AMP U.S. Holdings, LLC, each affiliates of KPS, Capital Partners, LP, pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder has agreed to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the equity interests in each of Garrett LX I S.à r.l., and Garrett Transportation I Inc. (subject to an election by the Stalking Horse Bidder to purchase substantially all of the assets of Garrett Transportation I Inc., instead of its equity), alongthe Debtors. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement constituted a “stalking horse” bid that was subject to higher and better offers by third parties in accordance with certain other assets and liabilitiesthe bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the Bidding Procedures Order. The Bidding Procedures Order permitted third parties to submit competing proposals for the purchase and/or reorganization of the Debtors pursuantand approved stalking horse protections for the Stalking Horse Bidder.

On the Petition Date, we were notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in accordance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, that NYSE had commenced proceedings to delist our common stock from the NYSE. The NYSE indefinitely suspended trading of our common stock on September 21, 2020. We determined not to appeal the NYSE’s determination. On October 8, 2020, the NYSE filed a planForm 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which removed our common stock from listing and registration on the NYSE effective as of reorganization underthe opening of business on October 19, 2020. The delisting of our common stock from NYSE has and could continue to limit the liquidity of our common stock, increase the volatility in the price of our common stock, and hinder our ability to raise capital.

In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors held the Auction at which they solicited and received higher and better offers from KPS and the OWJ Group. In addition to the bids received at the Auction from KPS and the OWJ Group, the Debtors also received a transaction proposal in parallel from the CO Group. The Auction was completed on January 8, 2021, at which point the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Code (the “Acquired Assets”).

On October 19, weCourt (i) an auction notice noting that a bid received afrom KPS was the successful bid at the Auction but that the Debtors were still considering the proposal from the CO Group, (ii) the Plan and Disclosure Statement. On January 11, 2021, the Debtors, having determined that the proposal from the CO Group was a higher and better proposal than the successful bid of KPS at the Auction, entered into the PSA and announced their intention to pursue a restructuring transaction with the CO Group. As a result of the entry into the PSA, (i) the Debtors filed a supplemental auction notice with the Bankruptcy Court on January 11, 2021 describing the Debtors’ determination to proceed with the Transaction, (ii) the Debtors filed a revised Plan and related revised Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court on January 22, 2021 to implement the Transaction and (iii) the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement became terminable, following which, on January 15, 2021, the Stalking Horse Bidder terminated the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Debtors subsequently paid a termination payment of $63 million and an expense reimbursement payment of $15.7 million to revisethe Stalking Horse Bidder pursuant to the terms of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement following approval of our proposed bidding procedures and stalking horse protections by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal”).  Under the terms and conditions of the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal:

The Stalking Horse Bidder would increase the base purchase price for the Acquired Assets by $500 million, from $2.1 billion to $2.6 billion (in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement). The Stalking Horse Bidder would also purchase an entity (Garrett ASASCO Inc.) that directly holds (and after the closing will retain) our claims against Honeywell International Inc. in connection with the disputed Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement (as defined below) and Tax Matters Agreement (as defined below).

Upon completion of the sale, the Stalking Horse Bidder would list the new parent company on a recognized U.S. stock exchange.

The Stalking Horse Bidder would make available to our existing stockholders an equity co-investment opportunity on the same economic terms as the Stalking Horse Bidder, allowing our stockholders to continue to hold shares in the publicly-listed reorganized business. The Stalking Horse Bidder would offer co-investment in an aggregate amount of up to $350 million, $100 million of which would be available to all of our existing stockholders on a pro rata basis. The Stalking Horse Bidder has indicated that it expects our existing stockholders would own approximately 24% of outstanding common equity of the new parent company assuming maximum co-investment (subject to adjustment).

The anticipated dates for our competitive auction process would be extended to provide us with additional time to assess higher or better offers. The anticipated auction date would be December 18, 2020 rather than November 24, 2020, with other dates adjusted accordingly.

The costs and expenses for which we are obligated to reimburse the Stalking Horse Bidder in certain circumstances in which the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement is terminated would be capped at $21 million.

The Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal was conditioned on Bankruptcy Court approval of our proposed bidding procedures and the stalking horse protections, which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in an order entered on October 24, 2020. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal remain subject to Bankruptcy Court Approval and higher or better offers in Chapter 11 Cases. We expect to workBidding Procedures Order.

On OctoberJanuary 24, 2021, representatives of the Equity Committee submitted a restructuring term sheet for a proposed plan of reorganization sponsored by Atlantic Park.  The Equity Committee subsequently filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 5, 2021, a proposed plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement with respect to such transaction (as reflected in the proposed plan of reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court, the “Atlantic Park Proposal”). The transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were proposed as an alternative to the transactions contemplated under the Plan. In connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal, the Equity Committee filed the Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion. On February 9, 2021, the Equity Committee filed the Equity Committee Objection. The Company had significant concerns with the feasibility of the Atlantic Park Proposal and concluded at the time that the transactions contemplated under the Atlantic Park Proposal were not reasonably likely to lead to a higher and better alternative plan of reorganization as compared to the Plan. The Equity Committee filed a revised proposed plan of reorganization and disclosure statement in connection with the Atlantic Park Proposal with the Bankruptcy Court on February 15, 2021.

On February 15, 2021, the Debtors and the CO Group agreed with certain of the Consenting Lenders to amend and restate the PSA so as to, among other things, add certain of the Consenting Lenders as parties thereto supporting the Plan.

Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on February 16, 2020, we were made aware2021, the Debtors, the CO Group, the Equity Committee and certain additional parties agreed to proceed with a court-approved mediation process to attempt to reach a consensual resolution regarding the Equity Committee Exclusivity Motion and the Equity Committee Objection.


Through the mediation, the Debtors, the CO Group, Equity Committee and the additional parties to the mediation reached a consensual resolution regarding certain aspects of the Plan, and on March 9, 2021, the PSA was subsequently amended and restated, and a replacement EBCA among the Debtors and the Equity Backstop Parties was entered into, to provide for, among other things: (i) a direct equity investment of $668.8 million by Centerbridge and Oaktree to purchase Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) two Rights Offerings in an aggregate amount of $632 million (including an allocation of subscription rights to the Equity Backstop Parties as consideration for their agreement to backstop the Rights Offerings), and (iii) an increase of the conversion price to common stock of the Series A Preferred Stock from $3.50 to $5.25. On March 9, 2021 the Debtors filed amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court to reflect this consensual resolution. On March 12, 2021 the Bankruptcy Court entered orders approving the Disclosure Statement, the proposed procedures for solicitation of votes on the Plan and the Debtors’ entry into and performance and obligations under the PSA and the EBCA, which remain subject to customary closing conditions.  On March 12, 2021 the Debtors filed the solicitation versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court.

As contemplated by the Plan, the Company filed a supplement to the Plan (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Plan Supplement”) with the Bankruptcy Court on April 9, 2021, which includes drafts of certain documents related to the Plan and referenced therein. On April 20, 2021 and April 22, 2021, the Debtors filed amended Plan Supplements reflecting updates and other changes and corrections to certain of the draft documentation. Also, on April 20, 2021, the Debtors also filed an amended version of the Plan, reflecting, among other things, revised treatment of certain claims and certain other technical changes and corrections. Following a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court on April 23, 2021, the Debtors filed a further amended Plan on April 26, 2021.

Pursuant to the PSA and the Plan, the Transaction involves, among other things, an election for holders of shares of the Company’s existing common stock to either effectively retain their shares or (unless such stockholder is a party to the PSA), receive cash at $6.25 per share in exchange for cancellation of their shares (the “Cash Out Option”). The Company expects that Honeywell International Inc.approximately 11,031,990 shares of its existing common stock will be canceled pursuant to the Cash-Out Option, for which the Company expects to pay the holders of such existing common stock an aggregate of approximately $69 million.

As of the Effective Date (when and if it occurs), the Company expects to have an aggregate of approximately 247,771,428 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, 834,800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and approximately 65,036,036 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (or 312,807,464 shares of common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis assuming conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock). In addition, the Company expects to have approximately 31,280,746 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under an equity incentive plan.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing globalAfter the extensive impact on our sales in the second half of 2020 year caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created unparalleled challenges for the auto industry in the short-term. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, our manufacturing facility in Wuhan, China was shut down for six weeks in February and March and we saw diminished production in our Shanghai, China facility for that same time period, which adversely impacted our net sales for the period. During the second quarter, our facilities in China re-opened, however our manufacturing facilities in Mexicali, Mexico and Pune, India were shut down for five weeks and our manufacturing facilities in Europe operated at reduced capacity. In the third quarter, thehave observed a fast recovery observed in all geographies hassince mid-2020, that enabled us to ramp up production in most of our production sites to normal levels. However, iflevels in the third quarter of 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021, despite the resurgence of infection rates in the U.S. and European Union. If the COVID-19 pandemic, despite vaccination campaigns, drives new lockdown measures impacting our manufacturing facilities, our facilities may


be forced to shut down or operate at reduced capacity again. Additional or continued facilities


facility closures or reductions in operation could significantly reduce our production volumes and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additional or continued facilities closures or reductions in operation could significantly reduce our production volumes and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Recovery appears to be faster in the U.S.In 2021, a partial recovery is expected with a rebound of light vehicle production of 14% and China compared to Europe.commercial vehicles of 6%.  As a result, we expectestimate that a contraction of approximately 15% of13% for the combined light and commercial vehicle turbocharger industry volume occurred in 2020. The health and safety of our employees, customers, and suppliers is our top priority. In parallel, we are continuously updating various scenarios for vehicle demand and OEM production volumes through 2020 and 2021. Each scenariowe expect a strong rebound in 2021, which is backed withobserved since the second half of 2020. We have prepared contingency plans for multiple scenarios that we believe will allow us to react swiftly to changes in customer demand while protecting Garrett’s long-term growth potential. The supplies needed for our operations were generally available throughout 2020. In limited circumstances, certain suppliers experienced financial distress during 2020, resulting in supply disruptions.  In line with action already started in 2020, we continue to systematically monitor supplier risks associated with COVID-19 and other material supply shortages and believe we have substantially addressed such risks with manageable economic impacts including use of Premium Freight or adjusted payment terms that are limited in time. In addition, we have implemented cost control measures and cash management actions, including:

 

Postponing capital expenditures;

 

Optimizing working capital requirements;

 

Lowering discretionary spending;

 

Flexing organizational costs by implementing short-term working schemes;

 

Reducing temporary workforce and contract service workers; and

 

Restricting external hiring.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts presented are in millions, except per share amounts.

Liabilities under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement

The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the indemnification and reimbursement agreement with Honeywell (as amended, the “Subordinated Asbestos“Honeywell Indemnity Agreement”), under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement. During the first quarter of 2020, Garrett ASASCO paid Honeywell the Euro-equivalent of $35 million in connection with the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. Honeywell and Garrett agreed to defer the payment from Garrett ASASCO under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement due May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Q2 Payment”).  We, however we do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplatedPlan (as defined below), as confirmed by the RSA, if confirmed, will provideBankruptcy Court, includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for, among other things, the treatmentfull and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement, including pre-petitionall liabilities under or related to the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement, that have not been satisfiedcertain Indemnification Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or addressed duringotherwise modified from time to time), by and among Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc. as payee, Garrett ASASCO as payor, and certain subsidiary guarantors as defined therein (the “Guarantee Agreement,” and together with the Chapter 11 Cases.Honeywell Indemnity Agreement, the “Indemnity Agreements”) and the Tax Matters Agreement.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company and Garrett ASASCO, filed a Summons with Notice in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “NY Supreme Court”) commencing an action (the “Action”) against Honeywell, certain of Honeywell’s subsidiaries and certain of Honeywell’s employees for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. On January 15, 2020, the Company and Garrett ASASCO, filed a Complaint in the NY Supreme Court in connection with the Action. The lawsuit arises from the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. The


Company is seeking declaratory relief; compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial; rescission of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement; attorneys’ fees and costs and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. There can be no assurance as to the time and resources that will be required to pursue these claims or the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit. Among other claims, Garrett asserts that Honeywell is not entitled to indemnification because it improperly seeks indemnification for amounts attributable to punitive damages and intentional misconduct, and because it has failed to establish other prerequisites for indemnification under New York law. Specifically, the claim asserts that Honeywell has failed to establish its right to indemnity for each and every asbestos settlement of the thousands for which it seeks indemnification. The Action seeks to establish that the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement is not enforceable, in whole or in part. On March 5, 2020, Honeywell filed a “Notice of Motion to Dismiss Garrett’s Complaint.” The parties agreed to certain schedules for the case that provided that Garrett would file an amended complaint, then Honeywell would have an opportunity to file another motion to dismiss in response.Complaint”. On September 20, 2020, Garrett and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 23, 2020, Garrett removed the Action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and on September 24, 2020, the Action was referred to the Bankruptcy Court, where the case is currently pending. On October 13, 2020, Honeywell filed aThe defendants’ motion to dismiss the Action is pending.

On December 18, 2020, Honeywell filed proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, asserting that the Company owes at least $1.9 billion in respect of such claims. The Bankruptcy Court was scheduled to estimate the amount of Honeywell’s claims in a estimation proceeding that was scheduled to commence on February 1, 2021. As noted below, the estimation proceeding has been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy Court.  Garrett does not believe

On January 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle Honeywell’s motion has merit,claims as part of the Plan. The Plan is subject to various conditions.

Under the settlement embodied in the Plan, Honeywell would receive a $375 million payment and Garrett plansSeries B Preferred Stock payable in installments of $35 million in 2022, and $100 million annually 2023-2030.  The Company would have the option to respond.  A pre-trial conference took placeprepay the Series B Preferred Stock in full at any time at a call price equivalent to $584 million as of the Emergence (representing the present value of the installments at a 7.25% discount rate).  The Company will also have the option to make a partial payment of the Series B Preferred Stock, reducing the present value to $400 million, at any time within 18 months of Emergence.


On January 15, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court ordered that the Action and the estimation proceeding both be stayed pending the Bankruptcy Court’s consideration of the Plan. As noted above, on October 22, 2020. TheApril 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court is expected to hear argument on Honeywell’s pending motion to dismiss on November 18, 2020.  entered the Confirmation Order.

Non-GAAP Measures

It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to supplement the understanding of our business operations and performance, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the most directly comparable GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. Additionally, the non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s operating results as reported under GAAP.

We evaluate performance on the basis of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA“EBITDA” as our net income (loss)income/loss calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus the sum of net interest expense (income),expense/income, tax expenseexpense/benefit and depreciation. We define Adjusted EBITDA“Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA, plus the sum of non-operating income/expense, (income), other expenses, net (which primarily consists of indemnification, asbestos and environmental expenses), stock compensation expense, reorganization items, net, repositioning charges and foreign exchange gain (loss)gain/loss on debt, net of related hedging (gain) loss, Spin-Off costs and professional services costs.gain/loss. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important indicators of operating performance and provide useful information for investors because:


 

o

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the effects of income taxes, as well as the effects of financing and investing activities by eliminating the effects of interest and depreciation expenses and therefore more closely measure our operational performance; and

 

o

certain adjustment items, while periodically affecting our results, may vary significantly from period to period and have disproportionate effect in a given period, which affects comparability of our results.

In addition, our management may use Adjusted EBITDA in setting performance incentive targets in order to align performance measurement with operational performance.

(2)

We have elected to change our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the non-service component of pension expense. Non-service pension expense is comprised of interest costs, expected return on plan assets and actuarial gains/losses. The components of non-service pension expense are primarily tied to financial market performance, changes in market interest rates and investment performance. The service cost component of our pension plans remains in Adjusted EBITDA. We consider the non-service component of pension expense to be outside the performance of our ongoing core business operations and believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA including only the service component of pension expense, in addition to our GAAP operating results, provides increased transparency as to the operating costs of providing pension benefits to our employees and the underlying trends in our operating business performance. As a result, the prior periods presented were recast to conform to the current year presentation.

(3)

The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement with Honeywell entered into on September 12, 2018, under which Garrett ASASCO is currently required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to theHoneywell’s former Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business,Bendix business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for, among other things, the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of all liabilities under or related to the Honeywell Indemnity Agreement, that certain Indemnification Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc. as payee, Garrett ASASCO as payor, and certain subsidiary guarantors as defined therein (the “Guarantee Agreement,” and together with the Honeywell Indemnity Agreement, the “Indemnity Agreements”) and the Tax Matters Agreement. See Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

(4)(3)

Non-operating (income) expenseincome adjustment includes the non-service component of pension expense and other expense, net and excludes interest income, equity income of affiliates, and the impact of foreign exchange.

(4)

The Company has applied ASC 852 in preparing its Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the Company's reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses and gains incurred during the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded within Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.  See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings of Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.


(5)

Stock compensation expense adjustment includes only non-cash expenses.

(6)

Repositioning charges adjustment primarily includes severance costs related to restructuring projects to improve future productivity.

 

(7)

During the fourth quarter of 2019 additional spin-off costs related to the first three quarters of 2019 were identified and included within the adjustment for the three and twelve months end December 31, 2019 as presented in our 2019 Form 10K.  As a result, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were recast to include these additional costs.

(8)

Spin-Off costs primarily include costs incurred for the set-up of the IT, Legal, Finance, Communications and Human Resources functions after the Spin-Off from Honeywell on October 1, 2018.

(9)

Professional service costs consist of professional service fees to support strategic planning for the Company. We consider these costs to be unrelated to our ongoing core business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) decreasedincreased by $13$68 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period. The decreaseincrease was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expensesfavorable impacts of sales volume ($35 million) and price ($665 million), partially offset byforeign exchange including the prior years hedge gains ($16 million), favorable impact of productivity, net of mix ($19 million), lower research and development expenses ($4 million), foreign exchange including prior year´s hedge gains ($415 million) and favorable impacts of sales volume ($1 million).

Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment is a non-GAAP financial measure that reflects an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a supplemental understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows. Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment is calculated by subtracting Expenditures for property, plant and equipment from Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities. We believe it is a more conservative measure of cash flow, and therefore useful to investors, because purchases of fixed assets are necessary for ongoing operations. We believe it is important to view Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment as a supplement to our Consolidated and CombinedInterim Statements of Cash Flows.

 

Cash flow from operations less Expenditures for property, plant and equipment (non-GAAP) decreased by $266$4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 versus the prior year period, primarily due to the unfavorablean increase in net loss, net of deferred taxes and non-cash expenses of $108 million, partially offset by favorable impact from working capital of $143$23 million, a decrease in net income, netObligations to Honeywell of deferred taxes of $152$21 million and an unfavorable impactincrease of $56$39 million in prepaid Directorsother items (mainly other assets and officers insurance, employee continuity awards and prepayments to suppliers, partially offset by delayed Obligations payable to Honeywell of $90 million.accrued liabilities). Additionally, Expenditures for property, plant and equipment expenses increaseddecreased by $5$21 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources During Chapter 11 Cases

As described above, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations, as applicable, under the Prepetition Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the Company’s 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Prepetition Credit Agreement and Senior Notes provide that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement and Senior Notes are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Prepetition Credit Agreement and Senior Notes are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

We expect that our cash requirements infor the fourth quarterremainder of 20202021 will primarily be to fund operating activities, working capital, Chapter 11 case related costs and capital expenditures. We have historically funded our cash requirements, which included requirements to meet our obligations under our debt instruments and the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement described below, as well as the tax matters agreement with Honeywell (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), through the combination of cash flows from operating activities, available cash balances and available borrowings through our debt agreements. During the Chapter 11 Cases, our principal sources of liquidity are expected to be limited to cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined below).Agreement. Based on our current expectations, we believe these principal sources of liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases will be sufficient to fund our operations during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.


Going Concern

Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases, among other factors. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, we may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business, for amounts other than those reflected in our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Further, any plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. As a result of our financial condition, uncertainty related to the impacts of COVID-19, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, substantial doubt exists that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On September 27, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement by and among us, certain of our subsidiaries, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.agent (the “Prepetition Credit Agreement”). The Prepetition Credit Agreement was amended on June 12, 2020.2020 (the “2020 Amendment”). The Prepetition Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing of approximately the Euro equivalent of $1,254 million, consisting of (i) a seven-year senior secured first-lien term B loan facility, which consists of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”), (ii) a five-year senior secured first-lien term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) and (iii) a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million with revolving loans to the Swiss Borrower (as defined in the Prepetition Credit Agreement), to be made available in a number of currencies including Australian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Swiss Francs, U.S. Dollars and Yen (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

TheFollowing the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the contractual non-default rate of interest applicable under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate, at our option and subject to certain conditions and limitations,is either (a) in the case of either (a)dollar denominated loans, base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the


“prime “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1% per annum (“ABR”), (b) in the case of loans denominated in certain permitted foreign currencies other than dollars or euros, an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), or (c) in the case of loans denominated in euros, an adjusted EURIBOR rate (“EURIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero), in each case, plus an applicable margin. Pursuant to the 2020 Amendment, (i) the margin applicable to loans under the Term B Facility will increaseincreased by 75 basis points through the maturity date and (ii) the margin applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility and Term A Facility will increaseincreased by 25 basis points until the Company delivers consolidated financial statements as of and for its first fiscal quarter ending on or after the last day of the Relief Period (as defined below)in the 2020 Amendment). Pursuant to the 2020 Amendment, the margin applicable to loans under our Senior SecuredRevolving Credit FacilitiesFacility and Term Loan A Facility increased by a further 25 basis points on September 4, 2020 following a downgrade in our corporate credit rating by S&P Global ratings.

The applicable margin for the U.S. Dollar tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 3.50% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 2.50% per annum (for ABR loans) while that for the euro tranche of the Term B Facility is currently 3.75% per annum (for EURIBOR loans). The applicable margin for each of the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility varies based on our leverage ratio which is increased by 2550 basis points (including above mentioned Ratings event step up) until the Company delivers consolidated financial statements as of and for its first fiscal quarter ending on or after the last day of the Relief Period. Accordingly, the interest rates for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will fluctuate during the term of the Prepetition Credit Agreement based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR, EURIBOR or future changes in our corporate rating or leverage ratio.The applicable margins for credit arrangements are summarized as follows:

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations and terminated undrawn commitments, as applicable, under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Prepetition Credit Agreement provides that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Prepetition Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

During the Chapter 11 Cases and pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, we make monthly payments of interestadequate protection at the contractual non-default rate of interest on loans and certain other obligations under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

The Plan provides for payment in full of the Company’s obligations under the Prepetition Credit Agreement. The Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order on April 26, 2021. The Company expects that the Effective Date will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

Senior Notes

On September 27, 2018, we completed the offering of €350 million (approximately $410 million based on exchange rates as of September 27, 2018) in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes bear interest at a fixed annual interest rate of 5.125% and mature on October 15, 2026.

The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 27, 2018, which, among other things and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, limits our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain disqualified equity interests and preferred shares, (ii) pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock and make other restricted payments, (iii) make investments, (iv) consummate certain asset sales or transfers, (v) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (vi) grant or assume certain liens on assets to secure debt unless the notes are secured equally and ratably (vii) restrict dividends and other payments by certain of their subsidiaries and (vii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our or our restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases described above constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations, as applicable, under the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes provide that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Senior Notes are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Senior Notes are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

DIP Credit Agreement

On October 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting interim approval of the Debtors’ entry into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possessionthe DIP Credit Agreement, (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Citibank N.A. as administrative agent (the “DIP Agent”). On October 9, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured, super-priority term loan (the “DIP Term Loan Facility”) with a maximum principal amount of $200 million, $100 million of which was funded on the Closing Date and $100 million of which was subsequently funded on October 26, 2020, following entry of the Bankruptcy Court’s final order approving the DIP Term Loan Facility on October 23, 2020. The proceeds of the DIP Term Loan Facility are to be used by the Debtors to (a) pay certain costs, premiums, fees and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases, (b) make payments pursuant to any interim or final order entered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to any “first day” motions permitting the payment by the Debtors of any prepetition amounts then due and owing; (c) make certain adequate protection payments in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement and (d) fund working capital needs of the Debtors and their subsidiaries to the extent permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement. On October 12, 2020, the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the First


Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment eliminates the obligation for the Company to pay certain fees to the DIP Lenders in connection with certain prepayment events under the DIP Credit Agreement. On March 17, 2021, the Company prepaid $100 million that was previously outstanding under the DIP Credit Agreement, and on March 31, 2021 the Company extended the maturity date for the loans remaining outstanding thereunder to April 30, 2021. For additional information regarding the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, see Note 2, RestructuringReorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

Delisting from NYSE

On September 20, 2020, we were notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in accordance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, that NYSE had commenced proceedings to delist our common stock from the NYSE. The NYSE indefinitely suspended trading of our common stock on September 21, 2020. We determined not to appeal the NYSE’s determination. On October 8, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which removed our common stock from listing and registration on the NYSE effective as of the opening of business on October 19, 2020. The delisting of our common stock from NYSE has and could continue to limit the liquidity of our common stock, increase the volatility in the price of our common stock, and hinder our ability to raise capital.

Subordinated Asbestos

Honeywell Indemnity Agreement

On September 12, 2018, Garrett ASASCO entered into the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement, under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make certain payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Distribution Date Currency Exchange Rate (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of $175 million (exclusive of any late payment fees) in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year. This Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement may have material adverse effects on our liquidity and cash flows and on our results of operations, regardless of whether we experience a decline in net sales. See “We are subject to risks associated with the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to make substantial cash payments to Honeywell, measured in substantial part by reference to estimates by Honeywell of certain of its liabilities” under “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K. In addition, the payments that Garrett ASASCO is required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

During the first quarter of 2020, Garrett ASASCO paid Honeywell the Euro-equivalent of $35 million in connection with the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. In January 2020 we received from Honeywell the 2019 Prior Year Aggregate Loss Statement (as defined in the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement) which confirmed that the payments made to Honeywell as required by the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement in 2019 included an overpayment of $33 million.  This payment will bewould have been deducted from the Q2 Paymentsecond quarter 2020 payment and will reducewould have reduced the cash payments payable to Honeywell in 2020. Honeywell and Garrett have agreed to defer the Q2 Paymentsecond quarter 2020 payment due May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.2020 but the second quarter 2020 payment was not paid on this date as a result of the automatic stay applicable to the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. We do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplated

Under the terms of the PSA and the Transaction, the Plan includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for (a) the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of all liabilities under or related to the Indemnity Agreements and the Tax Matters Agreement, and (b) the dismissal with prejudice of the Honeywell Litigation in exchange for (x) a $375 million cash payment at Emergence and (y) the new Series B Preferred Stock issued by the RSA, if confirmed,Company payable in installments of $35 million in 2022, and $100 million annually 2023-2030 (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Company will provide forhave the treatmentoption to prepay the Series B Preferred Stock in full at any time at a call price equivalent to $584 million as of claims againstEmergence (representing the Company’s bankruptcy estates underpresent value of the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement, including pre-petitioninstallments at a 7.25% discount rate). The Company will also have the option to make a partial payment of the Series B Preferred Stock, reducing the present value to $400 million, at any time within 18 months of Emergence. In every case, the duration of future liabilities under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed duringto Honeywell will be reduced from 30 years prior to the Chapter 11 Cases.filing to a maximum of nine years.

We are currently engaged in litigation against Honeywell in connection withThe Bankruptcy Court entered the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement. For additional information, see Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings.Confirmation Order on April 26, 2021. The Company expects that the Effective Date will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

Tax Matters Agreement

On September 12, 2018, we entered into a Tax Matters Agreement, which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Honeywell and us after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax contests).


The Tax Matters Agreement generally provides that we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for all taxes, including income taxes, sales taxes, VAT and payroll taxes, relating to Garrett for all periods, including periods prior to the completion date of the Spin-Off. Among other items, as a result of the mandatory transition tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell in the amount representing the net tax liability of Honeywell under the mandatory transition tax attributable to us, as determined by Honeywell. We estimateAdditionally, the Tax Matters Agreement provides that Garrett ASASCO’s total aggregateASASCO is to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell for a portion of Honeywell’s net tax liability under Section 965(h)(6)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code for mandatory transition taxes that Honeywell determined is attributable to us (the “MTT Claim”). Following the Spin-Off, Honeywell asserted that Garrett ASASCO was obligated to pay $240 million to Honeywell for the MTT Claim under the Tax Matters Agreement.  Accordingly, and in connection with the Tax Matters Agreement, we made payments to Honeywell, with respect tounder protest, for the mandatory transition tax will be $240Euro-equivalent of $18 million with $200and $19 million in payments remaining as


during 2019 and the fourth quarter of December 31, 2019.2018, respectively, for the MTT Claim.  On October 30, 2020, however, Honeywell filed an SEC Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, reporting that its claim against us under the Tax Matters Agreement, including the MTT Claim, is now $273 million. Under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is required to pay this amount in Euros, without interest, in five annual installments, each equal to 8% of the aggregate amount, followed by three additional annual installments equal to 15%, 20% and 25% of the aggregate amount, respectively. Garrett ASASCO paid the first annual installment in October 2018 and subsequent annual installments are due in April of each year. The annual installment due on April 1, 2020 has beenwas deferred to December 31, 2020 in agreement with Honeywell.Honeywell but was not paid on this dateas a result of the automatic stay applicable to the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. We do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Tax Matters Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplated by the RSA, if confirmed, will provide for the treatment of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Tax Matters Agreement, including pre-petition liabilities under the Tax Matters Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed during the Chapter 11 Cases.

In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides that we are required to indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law.

Further, the Tax Matters Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, redemptions or repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to address compliance with Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are intended to preserve the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off.

On July 17, 2020, we provided noticeAs described above, under the terms of the PSA and the Transaction, the Plan includes a global settlement with Honeywell providing for the full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of all liabilities under or related to Honeywell asserting that Honeywell has caused material breaches of the Tax Matters Agreement andAgreement. In every case the duration of future liabilities to Honeywell will be reduced from 30 years prior to the Chapter 11 filing to a maximum of nine years.

The Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order on April 26, 2021. The Company expects that the Tax Matters AgreementEffective Date will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is unenforceable.targeting for April 30, 2021. Although the Company is targeting occurrence of the Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the Company can make no assurances as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Following Emergence

Under the terms of the Transaction contemplated by the PSA and the Plan, the CO Group obtained a commitment from certain lenders to provide us with a new term loan facility of approximately $1,250 million and a new revolving credit facility of approximately $300 million on the Effective Date. If and when the Effective Date occurs, we expect to enter into definitive documentation for such credit facilities (the “Exit Credit Facility”) in connection with Emergence.

The Exit Credit Facility is expected to be comprised of a (i) $715 million term loan (the “USD Term Loan”), (ii) €450 million term loan (the “Euro Term Loan” and, together with the USD Term Loan, the “Term Loans”) and (iii) $300 million revolving credit facility, with borrowings and letters of credit available in US dollars and certain other permitted foreign currencies (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loans are expected to mature on the fifth and seventh anniversaries, respectively, of the date the Exit Credit Facility is entered into.

The USD Term Loan is expected to bear interest at a rate per annum selected by us that is equal to either (a) an alternate base rate (“ABR”) (which shall not be less than 1.50%) or (b) an adjusted LIBOR rate (“LIBOR”) (which shall not be less than 0.50%), in each case, plus an applicable margin equal to 3.25% in the case of LIBOR loans and 2.25% in the case of ABR loans. The Euro Term Loan is expected to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an adjusted EURIBOR rate (“EURIBOR”) (which shall not be less than zero) plus an applicable margin equal to 3.50%. The Revolving Credit Facility is expected to be subject to an interest rate comprised of an applicable benchmark rate (which shall not be less than 1.00% if such benchmark is the ABR rate and not less than 0.00% in the case of other applicable benchmark rates) that is selected based on the currency in which borrowings are outstanding thereunder, in each case, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility is expected to vary based on our leverage ratio. Accordingly, the interest rates under the Exit Credit Facility are expected to fluctuate during the term of the Exit Credit


Facility based on changes in the ABR, LIBOR, EURIBOR and other applicable benchmark rates or future changes in our leverage ratio. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the borrowers are expected to be required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which is determined by our leverage ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum.

The Exit Credit Facility is expected to contain certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to dispose of assets, to make certain fundamental changes, to enter into restrictive agreements, to make certain investments, loans, advances, guarantees and acquisitions, to prepay certain indebtedness and to pay dividends or to make other distributions or redemptions/repurchases in respect of our and our subsidiaries’ equity interests. The Exit Credit Facility is expected to expressly permit payments-in-kind on our Series A Preferred Stock as well as mandatory cash redemptions in respect of our Series B Preferred Stock. During the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the Exit Credit Facility is expected to restrict our ability to pay cash dividends on or to redeem or otherwise acquire for cash the Series A Preferred Stock unless a ratable payment (on an as-converted basis) is made to holders of  our common equity and such payments would otherwise be permitted under the terms of the Exit Credit Facility. Our ability to make ratable payments to holders of common equity and Series A Preferred Stock is expected to be restricted by the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and, as a result, we do not expect to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock until the end of the fiscal year ending 2022.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility is also expected to contain a financial covenant requiring the maintenance of a consolidated total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.70 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter if, on the last day of any such fiscal quarter, the aggregate amount of loans and letters of credit (excluding backstopped or cash collateralized letters of credit and other letters of credit with an aggregate face amount not exceeding $30 million) outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35% of the aggregate commitments thereunder.

Following Emergence, we expect that our primary sources of liquidity will be cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under the Exit Credit Facility and offerings of debt and equity securities. Following the Effective Date, we expect that our primary anticipated uses of liquidity will be to fund our working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and other obligations. Our ability to fund our working capital, debt service, capital expenditures and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants under our financing agreements, depends on our future operating performance and cash flows from operations, which are subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. A significant amount of our cash requirements will be for debt service obligations. Our future success will depend on our ability to achieve our operating performance goals, address our annual cash interest obligations and reduce our outstanding debt.

Cash used forprovided by operating activities increaseddecreased by $261$25 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 versus the prior year period, primarily due to an unfavorableincrease in net loss, net of deferred taxes and non-cash expenses of $108 million, partially offset by a favorable impact from working capital of $143$23 million, and a decrease in net income, net of deferred taxes of $152 million, an unfavorable impact of $56 million in prepaid Directors and officers insurance, employee continuity awards and prepayments to suppliers, partially offset by delayed Obligations payable to Honeywell of $90 million.$21 million and an increase of $39 million in other items (mainly other assets and accrued liabilities).

Cash used for investing activities increaseddecreased by $17$22 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 versus the prior year period, primarily due to an unfavorable impact from a prior year settlement received on the re-couponingdecrease in Expenditures for property, plant and equipment of our cross currency swap contract of $19 million.

$21 million, due to higher customer contribution and lower spend.

Cash provided byused for financing activities increased by $402$163 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 versus the prior year period. The increasechange was driven by a draw down, net of payments, on our Revolving Facility of $349$66 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and payments on our DIP Credit Agreement, net of long-term debt duringfinancing fees, of $101 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020 totaling $2 million, as compared to $62 million of such payments during the prior year period.March 31, 2021.


Seasonality

Our business is typically moderately seasonal. Our primary North American customers historically reduce production during the month of July and halt operations for approximately one week in December; our European customers generally reduce production during the months of July and August and for one week in December; and our Chinese customers often reduce production during the period surrounding the Chinese New Year. Shut-down periods in the rest of the world generally vary by country. In addition, automotive production is traditionally reduced in the months of July, August and September due to the launch of parts production for new vehicle models. Accordingly, our results have historically reflected this seasonality. Our sales predictability in the short term might also be impacted by sudden changes in customer demand, driven by our OEM customers’ supply chain management.

We also typically experience seasonality in cash flow, as a relatively small portion of our full year cash flow is typically generated in the first quarter of the year and a relatively large portion in the last quarter. This seasonality in cash flow is mostly caused by timing of supplier payments for capital expenditures, changes in working capital balances related to the sales seasonality discussed


above, and the impact of incentive payments to management. Additionally, tax payments are due based on jurisdictional requirements which vary in timing throughout the year.

Contractual Obligations and Probable Liability Payments

Other than with respect to the anticipated timing of our payments under the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement as described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the additional borrowing under the Credit Agreement and DIP Credit Agreement as described above or otherwise as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those described in our 20192020 Form 10-K.

 

Capital Expenditures

We believe our capital spending in recent years has been sufficient to maintain efficient production capacity, to implement important product and process redesigns and to expand capacity to meet increased demand. Productivity projects have freed up capacity in our manufacturing facilities and are expected to continue to do so. We expect to continue investing to expand and modernize our existing facilities and invest in our facilities to create capacity for new product development.

In light of the near-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reviewed current capital expenditure programs and re-phased some programs related to future capacity expansion and long-term development programs. We expect this to materially reduce new capital expenditures in 2020 without having an adverse effect on our ability to deliver long-term projects on time. In addition, the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants including with respect to our capital expenditures.  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financial arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our financial statements. Our critical accounting policies are summarized in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our 20192020 Form 10-K. In connection with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Petition Date, the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852, Reorganizations. See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings, of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for further details.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes 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 judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

On December 2, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, Garrett ASASCO Inc., filed a Summons with Notice in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “NY Supreme Court”) commencing an action (the “Action”) against Honeywell, certain of Honeywell’s subsidiaries and certain of Honeywell’s employees for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. On January 15, 2020, the Company and Garrett ASASCO Inc. filed a Complaint in the NY Supreme Court in connection with the Action. The lawsuit arises from the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement. The Company is seeking declaratory relief, compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial rescission of the Subordinated Asbestos Honeywell Indemnity Agreement, attorneys’ fees and costs, and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. Among other claims, Garrett asserts that Honeywell is not entitled to indemnification because it improperly seeks indemnification for amounts attributable to punitive damages and intentional misconduct, and because it has failed to establish other prerequisites for indemnification under New York law. Specifically, the claim asserts that Honeywell has failed to establish its right to indemnity for each and every asbestos settlement of the thousands for which it seeks indemnification. The Action seeks to establish that the Subordinated AsbestosHoneywell Indemnity Agreement is not enforceable, in whole or in part. On March 5, 2020, Honeywell filed a “Notice of Motion to Dismiss Garrett’s Complaint.” The parties agreed to certain schedules for the case that provided that Garrett would file an amended complaint, then Honeywell would have an opportunity to file another motion to dismiss in response. On September 20, 2020, Garrett and certain of its subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.  On September 23, 2020, Garrett removed the Action to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and on September 24, 2020, the Action was referred to the Bankruptcy Court, where the case is currently pending.  A pre-trial conference took place on October 22, 2020. The Court is expected to hearheard argument on Honeywell’s pending motion to dismiss on November 18, 2020. 2020; the Court has not yet issued a decision.  On November 2, 2020, the Garrett entities that are Debtors and Debtors in Possession filed a Motion Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 502(c) To Establish Procedures for Estimating The Maximum Amount Of Honeywell’s Claims And Related Relief (the “Motion”). The Court heard argument on the Motion on November 18.  The Court ordered an estimation proceeding to take place to estimate all of Honeywell’s claims against the Garrett entities that are Debtors and Debtors in Possession. On December 18, 2020, Honeywell filed proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, asserting that the Company owes at least $1.9 billion.  The Bankruptcy Court was scheduled to estimate the amount of Honeywell’s claims in an estimation proceeding that was scheduled to commence on February 1, 2021. As noted below, the estimation proceeding has been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy Court.

On January 11, 2021, the Company announced that it had agreed to settle Honeywell’s claims as part of the Plan. The Plan is subject to various conditions. Under the Plan settlement, Honeywell would receive a $375 million payment and Series B Preferred Stock payable in installments of $35 million in 2022, and $100 million annually 2023-2030.  The Company would have the option to prepay the Series B Preferred Stock in full at any time at a call price equivalent to $584 million as of the Emergence (representing the present value of the installments at a 7.25% discount rate).  The Company will also have the option to make a partial payment of the Series B Preferred Stock, reducing the present value to $400 million, at any time within 18 months of Emergence.

On January 15, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court ordered that the Action and the estimation proceeding both be stayed pending the Bankruptcy Court’s consideration of the Plan. On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order.

The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.” For additional information regarding the Chapter 11 Cases, see Note 1 Background and Basis of Preparation and Note 2 Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

On September 25, 2020, a putative securities class action securities complaint was filed against Garrett Motion Inc. and certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  The case bears the caption: Steven Husson, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Garrett Motion Inc., Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-07992-JPC (SDNY) (the “Husson Action”).  The Husson Action assertsasserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, for securities fraud and control person liability.  On September 28, 2020, the plaintiff sought to voluntarily dismiss his claim against Garrett Motion Inc.; in light of the Company’s bankruptcy, this request has been referred to the judge for approval. was granted.

On October 5, 2020, another putative securities class action securities complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  This case bears the caption: The Gabelli Asset Fund, The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Value 25 Fund Inc., The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc., SM Investors LP and SM Investors II LP, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, v. Su Ping Lu, Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, Craig Balis, Thierry Mabru, Russell James, Carlos M. Cardoso, Maura J. Clark, Courtney M. Enghauser, Susan L. Main, Carsten Reinhardt, and Scott A. Tozier, Case No. 1:20-cv-08296-JPC (SDNY) (the “Gabelli Action”).  The Gabelli Action also assertsasserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.  Based

On November 5, 2020, another putative securities class action complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  This case bears the caption: Joseph Froehlich, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Olivier Rabiller, Allesandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean


Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-09279-JPC (SDNY) (the “Froehlich Action”).  The Froehlich Action also asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act.  

All three cases seek compensatory damages as well as interest, fees and costs. All three actions are currently assigned to Judge John P. Cronan.  Su Ping Lu filed a waiver of service in the Gabelli Action on November 10, 2020.  On November 24, 2020, competing motions were filed seeking the publicly-available dockets, service has not yet been effectedappointment of lead plaintiff and lead counsel and the consolidation of the Husson, Gabelli, and Froehlich Actions.  

On December 8, 2020, counsel for eitherthe plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action – the Entwistle & Cappucci law firm – filed an unopposed stipulation and proposed order that would (1) appoint the plaintiffs in the Gabelli Action – the “Gabelli Entities” – the lead plaintiffs; (2) would appoint Entwistle & Cappucci as lead counsel for the plaintiff class; and (3) consolidate the Gabelli Action, the Husson Action, orand the Froehlich Action. On January 21, 2021, the Court granted the motion to consolidate the actions and granted the Gabelli Action.  Entities’ motions for appointment as lead plaintiff and for selection of lead counsel.  On February 25, 2021, plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint for Violation of the Federal Securities Laws.  Defendants’ motion to dismiss is due by April 26, 2021; Plaintiffs’ opposition is due by June 25, 2021; and Defendants’ reply is due by July 26, 2021.

The Company’s insurer, AIG has accepted the defense, subject the customary reservation of rights.

The Bankruptcy Court set a bar date of March 1, 2021 for current and former shareholders to file securities-related claims against the Debtors arising from rescission of a purchase or sale of common stock of Garrett Motion Inc., for damages arising from the purchase or sale of common stock of Garrett Motion Inc., or for reimbursement or contribution allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code on account of such claims arising (or deemed to have arisen) prior to the Petition Date for all securities claims arising prior to the Petition Date. We are not yet able to assess the likelihood that any such claims will be allowed.  To the extent allowed, each holder of such claims will be entitled to receive, (x) its pro rata share of the aggregate cash payments received or recoverable from any insurance policies of the Company on account of any such allowed claims and (y) solely to the extent that such payments are less than the amount of its allowed claim, payment in full of the remaining amount of its allowed claim, at the option of the reorganized Debtors, in cash or a number of shares of Garrett common stock at a value of $6.25 per share.

In September 2020, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an infraction notice against Garrett Motion Industria Automotiva Brasil Ltda, challenging the use of certain tax credits between January 2017 and February 2020. The infraction notice results in a loss contingency that may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. The estimated total amount of the contingency as of March 31, 2021 was $27 million including penalties and interest. The Company appealed the infraction notice on October 23, 2020. In March 2021, in response to our request, the Brazilian Tax Authorities reconsidered their position for a portion of the $27 million mentioned above and allowed Garrett Motion Brazil the right to offset Federal Tax with the Befiex Credits. The letter does not qualify as a formal decision and requires formal recognition from the Judge and from the Federal Judgement Office in charge of the disputes. The Company believes, based on management’s assessment and the advice of external legal counsel, that it has meritorious arguments in connection with the infraction notice and any liability for the infraction notice is currently not probable. Accordingly, no accrual is required at this time.

On November 13, 2020, certain of the Debtors (the “Plaintiffs”) filed a complaint in the Bankruptcy Court against the indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) of the 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) seeking declaratory judgment on two claims for relief that the Debtors do not owe, and the holders of the Senior Notes (the “Noteholders”) are not entitled to, any make-whole premium under the Indenture (the “Make-Whole” and such litigation, the “Make-Whole Litigation”).  Certain Noteholders have contended in these Chapter 11 Cases that the Noteholders are entitled to payment of the Make-Whole under the terms of the Indenture, which provide for the payment of the Make-Whole if the Debtors exercise their right to redeem the Senior Notes prior to maturity, as a result of the Debtors’ commencement of their Chapter 11 Cases.  The Plaintiffs believe that the Noteholders are not entitled to any Make-Whole because the Debtors have not exercised their right of redemption as contemplated by the Indenture and, in the alternative, the Make-Whole should be disallowed as unmatured interest pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. On January 8, 2021, the Indenture Trustee filed an answer to the Debtors’ complaint.  Pursuant to the PSA, the Debtors have agreed to suspend all litigation activities related to and stay the Make-Whole Litigation through Emergence (the “Effective Date”) and to dismiss with prejudice such proceedings upon Emergence.

For additional information regarding our legal proceedings, see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

We are involved in various other lawsuits, claims and proceedings incident to the operation of our businesses, including those pertaining to product liability, product safety, environmental, safety and health, intellectual property, employment, commercial and contractual matters and various other matters. Although the outcome of any such lawsuit, claim or proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty and some may be disposed of unfavorably to us, we do not currently believe that such lawsuits, claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We accrue for potential liabilities in a


manner consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we accrue for a liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 20192020 Form 10-K. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this report.


Other than the below, there have been no material changes in the risks affecting the Company since the filing of our 20192020 Form 10-K.  We are updating the risk factors included in our 20192020 Form 10-K to include the following:

Risks Relating to Our Chapter 11 Cases

Our ability to successfully operate duringemerge from the Chapter 11 Cases will depend on the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness to the Plan, not all of which are within our control.

On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order. The Company expects that the Effective Date will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, which the Company is targeting for April 30, 2021. Such conditions include, among others: (i) all definitive documentation for the transactions pursuant to the Plan shall have been executed and reorganizeremain in full force and effect; (ii) the PSA, EBCA and certain equity commitment letters provided by the CO Group remain in full force and effect; (iii) the Debtors obtain all applicable authorizations, consents, regulatory approvals, rulings, or documents that are necessary to implement and effectuate the Plan (and all applicable waiting periods have expired); (iv) the Debtors shall have implemented the transactions pursuant to the Plan in a manner consistent with the Plan and the PSA; (v) the Rights Offerings shall have been conducted in accordance with the procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court; (vi) no governmental entity or federal or state court of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law or order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), in any case which is in effect and which prevents or prohibits consummation of the Plan, and no governmental entity has instituted any action or proceeding (which remains pending at what would otherwise be the Effective Date) seeking to enjoin, restrain or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan; and (vii) certain expenses of various parties involved in the Chapter 11 Cases shall have been paid in full in cash.  Although the Company is dependent upon our ability obtain Bankruptcy Court approvaltargeting occurrence of the Debtors’ motions,Effective Date on April 30, 2021, the outcome of Bankruptcy Court rulings and the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases in general, including the length of time the Debtors will operate in the Chapter 11 Cases.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors are subjectCompany can make no assurances as to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Debtors’ ability to continue to operate in the ordinary course, and for our ability to develop and execute our business plan, continue as a going concern andwhen, or ultimately successfully reorganize the Debtors, are subject to:

our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases from time to time;

our ability to develop, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) and the Stalking Horse Transaction (as defined below) in the timeframe contemplated by RSA and the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement or as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for us to propose and confirm a Chapter 11 plan, to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee, or to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 proceeding; and

the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans, and the Bankruptcy Court’s rulings on such actions and decisions, as applicable.

These risks and uncertainties could affect our business, operations, financial condition and our ultimate ability to successfully reorganize the Debtors in various ways.  For example, negative events associated with the Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect the Debtors’ or our non-debtor affiliates’ relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers and other third parties, which in turn could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.  During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit the Debtors’ ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of opportunities.  Additionally, if, creditors or other third parties raise significant objections or take other actions against the Debtors before the Bankruptcy Court, this could have the effect of significantly delaying our ability to confirm and consummate the Plan and the Stalking Horse Transaction (and to meet the milestones set forth in the RSA and the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement), which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and our ultimate ability to successfully reorganize the Debtors.  During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as restructuring activities and expenses (including legal and other advisor costs), any contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments may significantly impact our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans, or the ultimate length of time which the Chapter 11 Cases may continue.

The Chapter 11 Cases, the DIP Credit Agreement and the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement limit the flexibility of our management team in running our business.

The DIP Credit Agreement imposes a number of restrictions on the Debtors. Specifically, the Debtors are subject to certain affirmative covenants, including, without limitation, covenants requiring the Debtors to provide financial information, budgets and other information to the agent and the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement, as well as negative covenants, including, without limitation, relating to the incurrence of additional debt, liens and the making of investments and restricted payments, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.  [Restrictions under the DIP Credit Agreement on the ability of our non-Debtor subsidiaries to incur debt, as well as on our ability to invest in our non-Debtor subsidiaries, and repay intercompany loans owing to our non-Debtor subsidiaries, could impact the availability of liquidity to our non-Debtor affiliates.] The Debtors’ ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control and our failure to comply or obtain a waiver in the event we cannot comply, with a covenant could result in an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  [In addition, continued compliance with or failure to obtain a waiver for covenants restricting the incurrence of debt by non-Debtor subsidiaries or the making of investments in, or the repayment of intercompany loans owing to, non-Debtor subsidiaries could limit the availability of liquidity to our non-Debtor affiliates, which could also adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.]  

In addition to the restrictions applicable to the Debtors’ in the Chapter 11 Cases, we are also subject to operating covenants that apply to substantially all of our business (including the Debtors) under the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement.  These covenants


generally require us to operate in the ordinary course of business, to refrain from taking certain enumerated actions and to affirmatively take other enumerated actions.  Such covenants limit the flexibility of our management to respond to various events and circumstances that may arise from time to time, including as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.  There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain appropriate waivers from such covenants as may be necessary or advisable, which could adversely impact our business and operations.become effective.

We may not be able to complete any Bankruptcy Court-approved sales of our Company or assets through the chapter 11 process, or we may not be able to realize adequate consideration for such sales, which would adversely affect our financial condition.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder agreed to acquire the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan (the “Stalking Horse Transaction”). On October 19, 2020, we received a proposal from the Stalking Horse Bidder to revise its bid following the Bankruptcy Court’s entry on October 24, 2020 of an order approving bidding procedures and stalking horse protections to, among other things, increase consideration by $500 million (for total consideration of $2.6 billion) and offer our existing stockholders the opportunity to co-invest in the reorganized business (the “Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal”). The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and are intended to constitute a “stalking horse” bid that is subject to higher and better bids by third parties in accordance with bidding procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Such bids by third parties may include proposals for stand-alone plans of reorganization. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain approval and complete the proposed sale, or any other significant reorganization transaction, including as a result of objections from our stakeholders. Such objections from stakeholders could result from stakeholders’ preference for an alternative plan of reorganization than that contemplated by the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal. One such alternative plan of reorganization could include the plan of reorganization contemplated by a coordination agreement entered into by Honeywell International Inc., Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (collectively, the “Bidding Group”) on October 16, 2020, as amended and restated on October 20, 2020 (the “Alternative Proposal”).  We continue to evaluate the Alternative Proposal and expects to engage with the Bidding Group on the terms of the Alternative Proposal.

If we are unable to complete one or more sales of the Company’s assets in the Chapter 11 Cases, including in accordance with the terms of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal, it may be necessary to seek additional funding sources, or convert from the Chapter 11 reorganization process to a Chapter 7 liquidation process. If one or more sales of the Company’s assets are completed, they may not generate the anticipated or desired outcomes (including with respect to consideration received).

If a sales transaction, including the Stalking Horse Transaction, is approved by the Bankruptcy Court and consummated, we expect to distribute to stockholders any net sales proceeds remaining after payment of expenses and the allowed claims of creditors (including any repayment of the Company’s prepetition debt and debtor-in-possession financing out of the sales proceeds). The amount and timing of any distributions to stockholders remain uncertain and will depend on many different factors which are difficult to predict.

For more information on the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal, see Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings of the Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

The outcome of our litigation with Honeywell is highly uncertain and could impact recoveries available to stockholders.

In December 2019, we commenced a lawsuit against Honeywell in connection with the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. Our lawsuit seeks, among other things, to establish that the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement is unenforceable in whole or in part because Honeywell has failed to establish the prerequisites for indemnification under New York law, and improperly seeks indemnification for amounts attributable to punitive damages and intentional misconduct.  Following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have removed the lawsuit against Honeywell to the Bankruptcy Court, where the claims can be resolved along with other matters in the Chapter 11 Cases. Litigation with Honeywell may materially impact the amount of stockholder recoveries from the Chapter 11 Cases, and the results of such litigation are uncertain.

Under the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal, the Stalking Horse Bidder has proposed to purchase the residual interest in the bankruptcy estate of Garrett ASASCO Inc. (“ASASCO”), including the Debtors’ claims against Honeywell, by purchasing the equity interest in ASASCO. As a result, it is expected that any distributions from the bankruptcy estate of ASASCO, including any distributable proceeds remaining after payment of expenses and the allowed claims of creditors (including Honeywell) and affirmative recoveries against Honeywell, would not be available for distribution to stockholders of the Company The Stalking Horse Bidder


Revised Proposal remains subject to negotiation and entry into definitive documentation, subject to higher and better bids in the Bankruptcy Case, and the sale remains subject approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Operating under Bankruptcy Court protection for a long period of time may harm our business.

A long period of operations under Bankruptcy Court protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, our senior management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on our business operations. A prolonged period of operating under Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success and growth of our business. In addition, as the length of the Chapter 11 Cases increases, the risk that customers and suppliers will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully may also increase, and such customers and suppliers may seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.

Delay of the Chapter 11 Cases could impact our ability to maintain our operations during the Chapter 11 Cases.

If the Chapter 11 Cases take longer than expected to conclude, the Debtors may exhaust or lose access to the DIP Term Loan Facility. Any of these factors could result in the need for substantial additional funding. A number of other factors, including the Chapter 11 Cases, our recent financial results, our substantial indebtedness and the competitive environment we face, may adversely affect the availability and terms of funding that might be available to us during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. As such, we may not be able to source capital at rates acceptable to us, or at all, to fund our current operations. The inability to obtain necessary additional funding on acceptable terms could have a material adverse impact on us and on our ability to sustain our operations during the Chapter 11 Cases.

Transfers of our equity may impair our ability to utilize certain built-in losses to reduce tax payments in future years.

Certain of our assets, including stock in our subsidiaries, may have built-in losses to the extent the basis of such assets exceeds fair market value. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may limit the benefit of any such built-in losses that exist at the time of an “ownership change” to the extent we or our subsidiaries are treated as having a “net unrealized built-in loss” at the time of such “ownership change.” Generally, there is an “ownership change” if one or more shareholders owning 5% or more of a corporation’s stock have aggregate increases in their ownership of such stock of more than 50 percentage points over the prior three-year period. [In an attempt to minimize the likelihood of such an “ownership change” occurring, the Company obtained an interim order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing certain protective equity trading procedures effective as of September 25, 2020.]  However, no assurance can be given that an “ownership change” will not occur. If an “ownership change” occurs, absent an applicable exception, Section 382 would impose an annual limit on the amount of recognized built-in losses we can use to reduce our taxable income equal to the product of the total value of our outstanding equity immediately prior to the “ownership change” and the federal long-term tax-exempt interest rate in effect for the month of the “ownership change.” A number of special rules apply to calculating this limit. It is possible that any such limit could impair our ability to offset gains in the event of a sale of our assets (such as under the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement) with such recognized built-in losses, potentially resulting adverse tax consequences.

Our ability to prosecute the Chapter 11 Cases and obtain confirmation of the Plan may be contested by third parties with litigation.

Certain of the Debtors’ creditors and other parties in interest may bring litigation against the Debtors during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases, the outcome of which is uncertain. Such litigation may prolong the Chapter 11 Cases and may make it difficult for the Debtors to reach the contractual milestones for the case within the timeframe set out in the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and RSA, respectively.

In certain instances, a Chapter 11 proceeding may be converted to a proceeding under Chapter 7.

There can be no assurance as to whether the Debtors will successfully reorganize under the Chapter 11 Cases. If the Bankruptcy Court finds that it would be in the best interest of creditors and/or the Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court may convert the Chapter 11 Cases to proceedings under Chapter 7. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the Debtors’ assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to the Debtors’ creditors than those provided for in a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization because of (i) the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a disorderly fashion over a short period of time rather than reorganizing or selling in a controlled manner the Debtors’ businesses as a going concern, (ii) additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee, and (iii) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.


Trading in our securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases poses substantial risks.

The Company’s stockholders are cautioned that it is possible that the Company’s stockholders will receive nothing in exchange for their common stock upon the completion of the Chapter 11 Cases and that the common stock will have no value and that trading in securities of the Company during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases will be highly speculative and will pose substantial risks. The delisting of our common stock from New York Stock Exchange has limited and could continue to limit the liquidity of our common stock, increase the volatility in the price of our common stock, and hinder our ability to raise capital. It is possible the Company’s outstanding common stock may be cancelled and extinguished upon confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court. In such an event, the Company’s stockholders may be entitled to receive recovery on account of their equity interests, but the amount of any such recovery is highly uncertain and there may be no such recovery. Trading prices for the Company’s common stock and other securities may bear little or no relation to actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is expected to further adversely impact our business and results of operations.

During 2020, the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, has spread across the world, including throughout Asia, the United States and Europe. The outbreak and government measures taken in response have also had a significant adverse impact, both direct and indirect, on our businesses and the economy. Our manufacturing facility in Wuhan, China was shut down for six weeks in February and March 2020 and we saw diminished production in our Shanghai, China facility for that same time period, which were the primary drivers of the decrease in sales in the Asia region during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the second quarter while our facilities in China have re-opened, our manufacturing facilities in Mexicali, Mexico and Pune, India were shut down and our manufacturing facilities in Europe operated at reduced capacity. This significantly reduced our production volumes and had a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the third quarter, the fast recovery observed in all geographies has enabled us to ramp up production in most of our production sites to normal levels. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic drives new lockdown measures impacting our manufacturing facilities, our facilities may be forced to shut down or operate at reduced capacity again which will continue to negatively impact our revenues. We have also faced limitations on our employee resources, including because of stay-at-home orders from local governments, new Paid Time Off policies, employee furloughs, state-funded layoffs, sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people. The pandemic has also diverted management resources and the prolonged work-from-home arrangements have created business continuity and cybersecurity risks.

Certain of our customers have been similarly affected and are experiencing closures and labor shortages. As a result of such closures, we have experienced weakened demand from our customers, who have not been able to accept orders or have delayed or canceled orders, which has negatively affected our revenues. If this trend continues, our revenues will continue to be negatively impacted.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the outbreak impacts our business, liquidity and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the continued geographic spread of the disease, effectiveness of any vaccines, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the European Union, China and other countries, the duration and extent of business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat the disease. If we or our customers experience prolonged shutdowns or other business disruptions beyond current expectations, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and within planned timelines could be materially and adversely impacted, and our business and financial results may continue to be adversely affected.

Our leveraged capital structure and liabilities to Honeywell may pose significant challenges to our overall strategic and financial flexibility and have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position and financial position.

Our leverage ratio remains high and we expect that it will remain so for at least the next several quarters. This high leverage is exacerbated by Garrett ASASCO’s significant liabilities and obligations to Honeywell under the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement. Our leveraged capital structure poses significant challenges to our overall strategic and financial flexibility and may impair our ability to gain or hold market share in the highly competitive automotive supply market. This leverage may be greater than that of some of our competitors, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, our business has been and may continue to be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures, which has had adverse consequences for our leverage. See “The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted and is expected to further adversely impact our business and results of operations.” above for more information. The COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures may continue to have an impact, and if we are unable to manage through these challenges, our leverage ratio, capital structure or liquidity may be further adversely effected. On September 20, 2020, the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases in order to address this leveraged capital structure. However, because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot


accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during the Chapter 11 Cases on our leverage, capital structure, liabilities or liquidity position, and we may not be successful in addressing these challenges through or following the Chapter 11 Cases. See risks related to the Chapter 11 Cases above for more information.
