Other Events.

On April 28, 2011, Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. issued a press release announcing the commencement of a series of financing transactions designed to refinance substantially all of the existing indebtedness of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sensata Technologies B.V. (the “Issuer”). The transactions include a proposed private offering by the Issuer of up to $600 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior notes, a proposed new credit facility of the Issuer providing an up to $1,200,000,000 term loan facility and an up to $250,000,000 revolving credit facility, and the commencement of cash tender offers and consent solicitations by the Issuer for any and all of its outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “8% Notes”) and 9% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (“9% Notes”). The consent solicitation is for proposed amendments to the indentures governing the 8% Notes and 9% Notes (the “Indentures”), which, if effected, will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants of the Indentures, eliminate or modify certain events of default in the Indentures and eliminate or modify related provisions in the Indentures. The tender offers and consent solicitations are made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 28, 2011 (the “Statement”), and, with respect to the 8% Notes, the Letter of Transmittal accompanying the Statement. A copy of the press release announcing the commencement of the financing transactions is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
