INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On January 6, 2006, as part of Federal-Mogul Corporation’s (the “Company”) global profitable growth strategy designed to expand in best cost manufacturing, engineering and service locations and in key growth markets, the Company has announced a restructuring plan. This plan could affect about 25 facilities and reduce the Company’s workforce by approximately 10% in the next three years. Details of the plan have not yet been finalized.

The Company anticipates recording charges for costs and expenses related to this restructuring plan in the current quarter and future periods. Costs likely to be incurred are generally expected to include certain severance costs, retention costs, benefit costs and impairment of the facilities and equipment involved. Preliminary cost estimates range from $125,000,000 to $150,000,000. Upon determining the ultimate costs associated with this restructuring, the Company will amend this Form. The Company is targeting completion of the restructuring plan by December 2008.
