"We are pleased to complete our acquisition of Delphi Technologies," said

Frédéric Lissalde, President and CEO, BorgWarner. "Through this combination,

BorgWarner is  even better positioned with a more comprehensive portfolio of

industry-leading propulsion products and systems across combustion, hybrid and

electric vehicles.  We expect that the combination will also strengthen our

commercial vehicle and aftermarket businesses. We welcome Delphi Technologies'

colleagues around the world to the BorgWarner team and are excited about the

opportunities we have together to address market trends towards electrification.

I am proud of our global workforce, including our integration planning teams,

for driving the business forward as we managed through the pandemic and laying

a strong foundation for a seamless integration. I have great confidence that we will

realize what we believe are significant benefits of this combination for our shareholders,

customers and suppliers."

 

Compelling Strategic and Financial Benefits:

 

Bringing BorgWarner and Delphi Technologies together is expected to:

 

     - Strengthen BorgWarner's electronics and power electronics products,

       capabilities and scale, creating a leader in electrified propulsion

       systems that BorgWarner believes is well-positioned to take

       advantage of future propulsion migration. Delphi Technologies

       brings industry leading power electronics technology and talent,

       with an established production, supply and customer base. The

       combined company will offer customers a suite of integrated and

       standalone offerings of power electronics products (including

       high voltage inverters, converters, on-board chargers and battery

       management systems) and capabilities (including software, systems

       integration and thermal management).

 

     - Enhance BorgWarner's combustion, commercial vehicle and aftermarket

       businesses. Delphi Technologies' breadth of combustion propulsion

       products complements BorgWarner's innovative portfolio, which is

       focused on clean technologies to increase efficiency and performance

       of modern combustion vehicles. Adding Delphi Technologies' commercial

       vehicle and aftermarket business results in more balance across

       light vehicles, commercial vehicles and the aftermarket.

 

       Global aftermarket customers will continue to benefit from an

       extensive portfolio of BorgWarner and Delphi Technologies

       OE-quality aftermarket parts, services, diagnostic tools and test

       equipment. As a brand of BorgWarner, Delphi Technologies Aftermarket

       will maintain its brand identity, and customers across the world

       will be able to rely on their trusted contacts for sales and

       customer service support.

 

The completion of the transaction follows approval by Delphi Technologies'

shareholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals, the satisfaction of

certain conditions relating to indebtedness of Delphi Technologies, and the

satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. In connection with the

close of this transaction, Delphi Technologies common stock will cease to be

traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
