OFFERING MEMORANDUM
Federal-Mogul LLC
(as a result of the merger with Federal-Mogul Holdings LLC)
Federal-Mogul Financing Corporation
415,000,000 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022
300,000,000 Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2024
Federal-Mogul LLC (the "Company") (as successor by merger to Federal-Mogul Holdings LLC) and Federal-Mogul Financing
Corporation ("FinCo" and, together with the Company, the "Issuers") are offering 415,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their
4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the "Fixed Rate Notes") and 300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their Floating Rate
Senior Secured Notes due 2024 that will bear interest at a rate equal to three-month EURIBOR (with a 0% floor) plus 4.875% per annum,
reset quarterly (the "Floating Rate Notes," and together with the Fixed Rate Notes, the "Notes"). We intend to use the net proceeds of
this offering to prepay in full our term loan B facility (the "Term Loan B Facility," and together with our term loan C facility, the "Term
Loan Facilities"), to prepay a portion of the outstanding principal borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL
Facility," and, collectively with the Term Loan Facilities, in each case, as amended, restated, refinanced, modified or otherwise
supplemented, the "Credit Facilities") and to pay related fees and expenses. FinCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that
was formed solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the Notes and has no material assets or liabilities other than as issuer of
the Notes. FinCo will not have any substantial operations, assets or revenue. On March 29, 2017, Federal-Mogul Holdings LLC was
merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger (the "Holdco Merger"). Following the Holdco Merger, the
Company became an Issuer of the Notes and assumed all obligations of Federal Mogul Holdings LLC and FinCo, which remains an
Issuer of the Notes, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This offering is not conditioned on the consummation of the Holdco
Merger.
The Fixed Rate Notes will mature on April 15, 2022. The Floating Rate Notes will mature on April 15, 2024. We will pay interest
semi-annually on the Fixed Rate Notes on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2017. We will pay interest
quarterly on the Floating Rate Notes on January 15 , April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2017.
The Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2019 and
April 15, 2018, respectively, and on the redemption dates and at the redemption prices specified under "Description of Notes--Optional
Redemption," plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. We may redeem up to 40% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes at any time prior to April 15, 2019 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity
offerings at the redemption price set forth in this offering memorandum. We may also redeem some or all of the Fixed Rate Notes and
the Floating Rate Notes at any time prior to April 15, 2019 and April 15, 2018, respectively, at a price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus a "make-whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
If we experience specific kinds of change of control events or sell certain of our assets, we may be required to make an offer to
purchase the Notes from holders.
Each of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than FinCo) will initially guarantee the Notes
to the extent that such subsidiaries guarantee our Credit Facilities. The Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by first priority
security interests in substantially all of our assets that rank equally with the security interests securing the Credit Facilities, subject to
certain excluded assets, exceptions and permitted liens, including liens (which rank higher in priority than those securing the Notes, the
related guarantees and the Term Loan Facilities) on our inventory (including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods),
accounts receivable and other current assets (the "Borrowing Base Collateral" and all collateral other than the Borrowing Base
Collateral, the "PP&E Collateral"), which secure the ABL Facility together with hedging obligations and cash management obligations
permitted by the agreement governing the Credit Facilities (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented, the "Credit
Agreement"). The Notes and the related guarantees will be effectively senior to all of our and the guarantors' senior unsecured debt to
the extent of the value of the collateral securing the Notes and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of
each of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.
There is currently no public market for the Notes. We have applied to list the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to trade the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market (the "Euro MTF"). We can provide no
assurance that this application will be accepted. The Euro MTF is not a regulated market pursuant to the provisions of Directive
2004/39/EC on markets in financial instruments. The Euro MTF falls within the scope of Regulation (EC) 596/2014 on market abuse and
the related Directive 2014/57/EU on criminal sanctions for market abuse. This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the
purpose of Part IV of the Luxembourg law dated July 10, 2005 on prospectuses for securities, as amended. The Notes are offered
pursuant to an exemption from the obligation to publish a prospectus as set forth in Article 3, paragraph 2 of the Prospectus Directive
(as defined below). This offering memorandum has not been approved by any competent authority in the European Economic Area for
purposes of the Prospectus Directive and has not been prepared in accordance with and is not a prospectus within the meaning of the
Prospectus Directive and the E.C. Prospectus Regulation 809/2004, as amended, including E.U. Prospectus Regulation 486/2012, and the
rules promulgated thereunder.
We will neither be required, nor do we intend to, register Notes for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") or offer to exchange the Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act or securities laws of any jurisdiction.
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 29.
Issue Price for Fixed Rate Notes: 100.000%
Issue Price for Floating Rate Notes: 100.000%
in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest from March 30, 2017
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the laws of any other
jurisdiction. The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons, except to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from
registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in
reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. You are hereby notified that sellers of the Notes may be relying on
the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. See "Notice to Investors."
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear Bank S.A. / N.V.
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") on or about March 30, 2017.

disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax
structure of the offering and all materials of any kind, including opinions or other tax analyses,
that we have provided to you relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, the

Upon receiving this offering memorandum, you acknowledge that (1) you have been
afforded an opportunity to request from us, and to review, all additional information considered
by you to be necessary to verify the accuracy of, or to supplement, the information contained

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this offering memorandum we present EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and Contribution to
Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes these non-
GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our operating performance by
excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and
including certain other items. Management utilizes EBITDA, Operational EBITDA and
Contribution to Cash Flow as key performance measures of segment profitability and uses these
measures in its financial and operation decision-making processes, for internal reporting, and
vii


for planning and forecasting purposes to effectively allocate resources and, with respect to
Operational EBITDA, as one element for establishing management incentives. We further
believe that the presentation of these financial measures enhances an investor's understanding
of our financial performance. However, these measures should not be considered as
alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities as indicators of operating
performance or liquidity. Operational EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation, and amortization), as adjusted for non-recurring, unusual, non-operational
or non-cash items. Examples of these adjustments include impairment charges related to
goodwill or other long-lived assets; restructuring charges; certain gains or losses on the
settlement/extinguishment of obligations; and receivable financing charges. During 2015, we
modified our definition of Operational EBITDA to adjust for financing charges related to certain
receivable financing programs. Comparable periods have been adjusted to conform to this
definition. Operational EBITDA presents a performance measure exclusive of capital structure
and the method by which net assets were acquired, disposed of, or financed. Management
believes this measure provides additional transparency into its core operations and is most
reflective of the operational profitability or loss of our operating segments and reporting units.
The measure also allows management and investors to view operating trends, perform
analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among operating
segments. Contribution to Cash Flow is defined as Operational EBITDA less capital expenditures
and cash restructuring charges. For reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the
most comparable applicable GAAP measure, see "Summary--Summary Financial Data and
Other Information."
INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
We obtained the market and competitive position data used throughout this offering
memorandum from our own research, surveys or studies conducted by third parties and
industry or general publications. Industry publications and surveys generally state that they
have obtained information from sources believed to be reliable, but do not guarantee the
accuracy and completeness of such information. While we believe that each of these studies
and publications is reliable, neither we nor the initial purchaser has independently verified such
data and neither we nor the initial purchaser makes any representation as to the accuracy of
such information. Similarly, we believe our internal research is reliable but it has not been
verified by any independent sources.
