He discussed (1) the sale of the company's Emissions Technologies business for $310 million, which will allow the company to focus on its core businesses. He (2) outlined the company's growth strategy going forward, which includes tripling sales in Asia and aftermarket. The sale will (3) narrow the company's focus and allow it to invest proceeds into organic growth, acquisitions, and paying down long-term liabilities.

19. Top Questions on Investors’ Minds
Question #1: Aren’t you letting someone else make the
money from restructuring the Emissions Technologies
business?
Answer:
1. We were pleased with the valuation and believe that the
costs and rewards of restructuring will pass to the buyer
2. Significant cash outlays would have been required for the
restructuring, ER&D and Cap. Ex. to support the products
and plants
3. We believe we can get better return for our shareholders
by investing that capital in our focus areas

21. Top Questions on Investors’ Minds
Question #3: Can the buyer really run ET better than you
can?
Answer:
1. OEP’s management team does have experience and expertise
in running manufacturing operations, as do we
2. Sole focus for OEP may change negotiation with large OE
customers relative to ARM’s consideration of other business
lines
3. OEP has the ability to change the business model (growth and
diversification)
4. OEP is willing to invest to restructure the light vehicle business
and grow the commercial vehicle business
21
22. Top Questions on Investors’ Minds
Question #4: How does this discontinued operations
accounting work?
Answer
1. When ET’s EBITDA is moved to discontinued operations,
any general corporate overhead that was allocated to it in
the months before closing cannot go with it
2. We will begin to reduce general corporate overhead to
resize it to our revenues after the sale
3. Interest expense in the months before closing also cannot
be allocated to discontinued operations
