Risk Factors
- Failure to obtain required antitrust or FDI clearances could delay or block the transaction

- Closing adjustments could reduce net proceeds below expectations
- Integration of remaining wheel/tire business and deployment of sale proceeds into accretive acquisitions carries execution risk
