Item 8.01. Other Events.
Aptiv PLC (the “Company”) previously announced that Aptiv Swiss Holdings Limited, a Jersey incorporated private limited company (“ASH”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase its outstanding 3.250% Senior Notes due 2032, 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034, 5.750% Senior Notes due 2054, 5.400% Senior Notes due 2049, 4.400% Senior Notes due 2046, 4.150% Senior Notes due 2052 and 3.100% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “Notes”) for aggregate consideration of up to $1,350,000,000, (the "Maximum Aggregate Consideration") exclusive of any accrued interest through the payment date of the Notes. The Tender Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 6, 2026, including the satisfaction of the following conditions prior to the settlement of the Tender Offer: (i) the consummation of the previously announced separation (the “Spin-Off”) of the Company’s Electrical Distribution Systems business into a new, independent publicly traded company, which will be named Versigent, and (ii) the receipt by the Company of a special dividend from Versigent in an amount not less than $1,700,000,000 in connection with the Spin-Off (collectively, the “Conditions”).
On March 20, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the early results and upsizing of the Tender Offer and a press release announcing the pricing terms of the Tender Offer. The Company upsized the Tender Offer by amending the Tender Offer to increase the Maximum Aggregate Consideration from $1,350,000,000 to $1,371,000,000. A copy of the press releases are filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements, including those related to the Tender Offer and the Conditions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors, which may cause the actual results to be materially different from any future results. All statements that address future operating, financial or business performance or the Company’s strategies or expectations are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: global and regional economic conditions, including conditions affecting the credit market; global inflationary pressures; uncertainties created by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and its impacts to the European and global economies and our operations in each country; uncertainties created by the conflicts in the Middle East and their impacts on global economies; fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; the cyclical nature of global automotive sales and production; the potential disruptions in the supply of and changes in the competitive environment for raw material and other components integral to the Company’s products, including the ongoing semiconductor supply shortage; the Company’s ability to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; potential changes to beneficial free trade laws and regulations, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement; the effects of significant increases in trade tariffs, import quotas and other trade restrictions or actions, including retaliatory responses to such actions; changes to tax laws; future significant public health crises; the ability of the Company to integrate and realize the expected benefits of recent transactions; the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives; the ability of the Company to avoid or continue to operate during a strike, or partial work stoppage or slow down by any of its unionized employees or those of its principal customers; the ability of the Company to attract and retain customers; the Company’s failure to complete the Spin-Off and related financing transactions as planned or at all; the Company’s failure to manage Versigent’s transition to a standalone public company; and the Company’s failure to achieve some or all of the benefits expected from the Spin-Off and other risks related to the completion of the Spin-Off. Additional factors are discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. It should be remembered that the price of the ordinary shares and any income from them can go down as well as up. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
