Haldex Receives Request for Additional Information Related to U.S. Antitrust Review of Knorr-Bremse's Tender Offer

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Haldex announced today that it has received a request for additional information (a "Second Request") from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") related to the DOJ's antitrust review of Knorr-Bremse's tender offer. Haldex understands that Knorr-Bremse also received a Second Request. The DOJ issued these Second Requests pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Act").

Under the HSR Act, Knorr-Bremse cannot acquire control of Haldex until expiration or termination of a mandatory statutory waiting period. The issuance of the Second Request extends that mandatory statutory waiting period until 10 days after Knorr-Bremse substantially complies with the Second Request (unless earlier terminated by the DOJ).

Haldex will continue to liaise with Knorr-Bremse and work cooperatively with the DOJ in the review process.
