Adient plc Enters Definitive Agreements with Joint Venture Partner Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems Ltd. to End Its Yanfeng Adient Seating Co., Ltd. Joint Venture in China Adient plc announced that as part of its strategic transformation in China, it has entered into definitive agreements with joint venture partner Yanfeng Automotive Trim Systems Ltd. (YF) to end its Yanfeng Adient Seating Co. Ltd. (YFAS) joint venture in China. The transactions contemplated by these agreements will, upon closing, allow Adient to drive its strategy in China independently, which is expected to result in a variety of benefits, including capturing growth in profitable and expanding segments; improving the integration of the company's China operations; and allowing for more certain value realization relative to status quo, where cash and value are generated from dividends at entities not in Adient's control. Under the agreements, Adient will sell its 49.99% interest in YFAS to YF and its minority interest in certain other joint ventures and will receive $1.5 Billion in cash ($1.4 Billion after tax) and will acquire YFAS's 50% equity interest in Chongqing Yanfeng Adient Automotive Components Co. Ltd. (CQYFAS) and YFAS's 100% equity interest in Yanfeng Adient (Langfang) Seating Co. Ltd. (YFAS-LF). Upon acquiring YFAS's interests in CQYFAS and YFAS-LF, Adient would consolidate those businesses going forward. YF will operate the remainder of YFAS as a wholly owned enterprise. The transactions, which are subject to customary government and regulatory approvals and certain PRC state-owned asset required approvals and processes, are expected to be completed in the second half of calendar year 2021. Adient will receive $800 million in cash by closing of the transactions (including dividends) and $700 million in cash prior to calendar year end, even if closing occurs before such time. All of the foregoing amounts of YFAS transactions proceeds are based on the current USD to RMB exchange rate. In conjunction with the YFAS transaction, Adient has signed an agreement with Chongqing Boxun Industrial Co. Ltd. (Boxun), its joint venture partner in CQYFAS. The agreement provides Boxun with a put right to sell and, if exercised, requires Adient to buy Boxun's 25% interest in CQYFAS. The put right, valued a $125M, is contingent upon the closing of the YFAS transaction. After closing, if Adient buys Boxun's 25% interest, Adient would own 100% of CQYFAS. Proceeds from the transactions are expected to be used by Adient to pre-pay a portion of the company's debt; fund Boxun's put right, if exercised; and for general corporate purposes. Upon the closing of the various transactions, Adient's China business is projected to have $4.5B in annual consolidated and unconsolidated sales, with far-reaching customer and geographic coverage through its nine major entities, three technical centers and more than 800 engineers.
