This transaction provides significant benefits for our shareholders who will receive full and certain value for their shares, as well as for our employees, customers, and communities, all of which will reap the benefits of being part of a larger, more diversified global organization. Our employees have shown admirable dedication in growing TRW into the formidable company it is today, and our strong performance is a testament to their hard work."
