BorgWarner (BWA) DEFA14AAdditional proxy soliciting materials

Washington D.C. 20549

On April 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders, providing for a 364-day, $750 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”).  The commitments of the lenders under the Credit Facility are scheduled to expire on April 28, 2021.

The Credit Facility is intended to support the Company’s potential financing needs with respect to its proposed acquisition of Delphi Technologies PLC (“Delphi Technologies”) and expires or must be mandatorily repaid upon any termination of the transaction agreement with Delphi Technologies, the receipt of proceeds from certain capital markets transactions, or the receipt of proceeds from certain asset sales outside the ordinary course of business.   No borrowings were made at the closing of the Credit Agreement.

Interest under the Credit Facility accrues at varying rates based upon the type of borrowing under the Credit Facility and the rating by certain specified rating agencies of the Company’s outstanding unsecured senior indebtedness as of the applicable date of borrowing.  The Credit Agreement includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00.  Upon the closing of certain acquisitions, the Company, at its option, may temporarily increase the consolidated leverage ratio to 3.75 to 1.00.

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults to similar obligations, customary ERISA defaults, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults or a change in control of the Company. The Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions permitting the lenders to terminate their commitments and accelerate the repayment of all loans outstanding under the Credit Facility during an event of default.

None of the Company or any of its affiliates has a material relationship with any lender in the Credit Facility other than in respect of the Credit Facility, the Company’s syndicated five-year credit facility, and other customary banking relationships.
