Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company” or “Garrett”) designs, manufactures and sells highly engineered turbocharger and electric-boosting technologies for light and commercial vehicle original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and the global vehicle independent aftermarket, as well as automotive software solutions. These OEMs in turn ship to consumers globally. We are a global technology leader with significant expertise in delivering products across gasoline, diesel, natural gas and electric (hybrid and fuel cell) powertrains. These products are key enablers for fuel economy and emission standards compliance.
COVID-19
In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus has been declared a pandemic and has spread across the world, including throughout Asia, the United States and Europe. Our business operations have been materially disrupted and our revenues have decreased significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures, and we expect our financial performance in the quarter ending December 31, 2020, and in future fiscal quarters, to be materially negatively affected by the pandemic and its impact on the global automotive industry.
On June 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “2020 Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, Garrett LX I S.à r.l., Garrett LX II S.à r.l., Garrett LX III S.à r.l., Garrett Borrowing LLC, and Garrett Motion Sàrl (f/k/a Honeywell Technologies Sàrl), the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, consisting of:
|
•
|
a seven-year term B loan facility, consisting of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”);
|
|
•
|
a five-year term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”); and
|
|
•
|
a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”).
|
The primary purpose for entering into the 2020 Amendment was to obtain covenant relief with respect to the total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s leveraged capital structure.
The 2020 Amendment qualified as a debt modification that did not result in an extinguishment or have a material impact on our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below) constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations, as applicable, under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement provides that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal, interest and all other amounts due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. Any efforts to enforce the payment obligations under the Credit Agreement are automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11
On September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.” On September 22 and 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting interim approval of certain forms of relief requested by the Debtors, enabling the Debtors to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, including authorizing the Debtors to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate the Debtors’ cash management system in the ordinary course, to maintain certain customer programs, and to pay the prepetition claims of
11
certain of the Debtors’ vendors. On October 20, 21 and 26, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting such relief on a final basis. For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Debtors continue to pay vendors under normal terms.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852, Reorganizations. See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings, for further details.
Delisting from NYSE
On September 20, 2020, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and in accordance with Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, that the NYSE had commenced proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock from the NYSE. The NYSE indefinitely suspended trading of the Company’s common stock on September 21, 2020. The Company determined not to appeal the NYSE’s determination. On October 8, 2020, the NYSE filed a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which removed the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on the NYSE effective as of the opening of business on October 19, 2020.
Going Concern
The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Liabilities subject to compromise will be resolved in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement a plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases, among other factors. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Further, any plan of reorganization in the Chapter 11 Cases could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the Chapter 11 Cases. As a result of our financial condition, uncertainty related to the impacts of COVID-19, and the risks and uncertainties surrounding the Chapter 11 Cases, substantial doubt exists that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts presented are in millions, except per share amounts.
Asbestos-related expenses, net of probable insurance recoveries, are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Interim Statement of Operations. Honeywell is subject to certain asbestos-related and environmental-related liabilities, primarily related to its legacy Bendix business. In conjunction with the Spin-Off, certain operations that were part of the Bendix business, along with the ownership of the Bendix trademark, as well as certain operations that were part of other legacy elements of the Business, were transferred to us. The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the indemnification and reimbursement agreement with Honeywell entered into on September 12, 2018 (the “Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement”), under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement. We are currently engaged in litigation against Honeywell in connection with the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement. For additional information, see Note 18, Commitments and Contingencies.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these estimates on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business due to various global macroeconomic, operational and supply chain risks as a result of COVID-19. Actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. Furthermore, while operating as “debtors-in-possession” under Chapter 11, the Debtors may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business and subject to
12
restrictions of the debtor in possession (“DIP”) financing, for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. Any such actions occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases, including through a plan of reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court could materially impact the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020 (our “2019 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.
We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention: the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. For differences in actual closing dates that are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, such differences have been adjusted for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively.
2. Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings
Key Events and Voluntary Petition for Reorganization
Due to the Company´s highly leveraged capital structure resulting from the Spin-Off, the Company began a strategic review process assisted by external financial advisers before the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic accelerated the review process to include the careful monitoring of liquidity and the consideration of potential court-supervised restructuring processes.
The strategic review process lasted months and considered a wide variety of options, including strategic mergers and stand-alone recapitalizations, both out-of-court and with the assistance of chapter 11. The result of the Company’s strategic review process was the decision to commence a pre-filing marketing process for a cash sale of the business in chapter 11, with the proceeds of the sale and any litigation recoveries related to the spin-off to be distributed to stakeholders. After the bidding process, the Company selected a winning bid of $2.1 billion from affiliates of KPS Capital Partners, LP, (collectively, the “Stalking Horse Bidder”).
As described in greater detail below, the Stalking Horse Bidder and certain of the Debtors (the “Sellers”) entered into a share and asset purchase agreement (the “Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement”) on the Petition Date. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement contemplates a combined stock and asset plan sale of the Company, subject to overbid and public auction (the “Auction”) in the Chapter 11 Cases. As discussed in greater detail below, on October 19, 2020, the Company received a proposal from the Stalking Horse Bidder to revise its bid following the Bankruptcy Court’s entry on October 24, 2020 of an order approving bidding procedures and stalking horse protections to, among other things, increase consideration by $500 million (for total consideration of $2.6 billion) and offer the Company’s existing stockholders the opportunity to co-invest in the reorganized business (the “Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal”). The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal remain subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and to higher and better bids, and the Company remains free to solicit competing acquisition proposals, as well as stand-alone plan of reorganization proposals from stakeholders, prior to the Auction. One such stand-alone plan proposal that the Company has received and is evaluating is the proposal contemplated by a coordination agreement entered into by Honeywell International Inc., Centerbridge Partners, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (collectively, the “Bidding Group”) on October 16, 2020, as amended and restated on October 20, 2020 (the “Alternative Proposal”). The Company continues to evaluate the Alternative Proposal and expects to engage with the Bidding Group on the terms of the Alternative Proposal.
Following entry into the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, the Chapter 11 Cases were filed on the Petition Date. The Debtors filed certain motions and applications intended to limit the disruption of the Chapter 11 Cases on its operations. Since the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have continued to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
The Bankruptcy Court has granted the first day relief we requested that was designed primarily to mitigate the impact of Chapter 11 Cases on our operations, customers and employees. As a result, we are able to conduct normal business activities and pay all associated obligations for the period following the Petition Date and we are also authorized to pay prepetition employee wages and benefits and certain vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course for goods and services provided prior to the Petition Date. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all transactions outside of the ordinary course of business require the prior approval of Bankruptcy Court.
13
Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal
On the Petition Date, the “Sellers” entered into the “Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement” with the Stalking Horse Bidder, pursuant to which the Stalking Horse Bidder has agreed to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the equity interests in each of Garrett LX I S.à r.l., and Garrett Transportation I Inc. (subject to an election by the Stalking Horse Bidder to purchase substantially all of the assets of Garrett Transportation I Inc., instead of its equity), along with certain other assets and liabilities of the Debtors pursuant to a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (the “Acquired Assets”).
The acquisition of the Acquired Assets pursuant to the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement is subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and an auction to solicit higher or otherwise better bids. If the Debtors receive additional bids, the Debtors expect to conduct an auction for the Acquired Assets no later than December 18, 2020. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement serves as the minimum or floor bid on which the Debtors, their creditors, suppliers, vendors, and other bidders may rely. Other interested bidders are permitted to participate in the auction if they submit qualifying offers that are higher or otherwise better than the transaction pursuant to the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement.
Under the terms of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, the Stalking Horse Bidder agreed, absent any higher or otherwise better bid, to purchase the Acquired Assets from the Sellers for $2.1 billion, subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement, plus the assumption of specified liabilities. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement also provides that, if, among other reasons, the Company terminates the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement in favor of an alternative transaction, the Company will pay to the Stalking Horse Bidder a break-up fee equal to $63 million and reimburse certain reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including those incurred by the Stalking Horse Bidder in connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement.
The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement may be terminated, subject to certain exceptions: (i) by the mutual written consent of the parties; (ii) by any party, by giving written notice to the other party if (a) any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental authority issues a final, non-appealable order prohibiting the transactions or (b) if the closing has not occurred prior to March 31, 2021; (iii) by any party, for certain material breaches by the other parties of representations and warranties or covenants that remain uncured; (iv) by any party, if (a) the Sellers enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an alternative transaction (including because the Stalking Horse Bidder is not the prevailing party at the conclusion of the auction) or (b) the Bankruptcy Court approves an alternative transaction; (v) by the Stalking Horse Bidder if (a) certain milestones related to the approval of the transactions by the Bankruptcy Court are not met, (b) the Bankruptcy Cases are dismissed or converted to cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (and neither such dismissal or conversion contemplates the transaction) or (c) Sellers withdraw or seek to withdraw any motion seeking Bankruptcy Court material relief contemplated in the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement; or (vi) by the Stalking Horse Bidder if the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) is terminated. If a termination occurs pursuant to (iii) (regarding a breach by Sellers), (iv) or (v)(a) (but only with regards to a certain milestone) or (v)(c), such termination will be subject to the Stalking Horse Bidder’s right to receive the termination payment and expense reimbursement payment. If a termination occurs pursuant to (iii) (regarding breach by the Stalking Horse Bidder), such termination will be subject to the Company’s right to receive a reverse termination payment equal to $105 million. Among other conditions, the transaction contemplated by the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transaction described therein will be consummated.
On October 19, 2020, the Company received the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal. Under the terms and conditions of the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal:
|
•
|
The Stalking Horse Bidder would increase the base purchase price for the Acquired Assets by $500 million, from $2.1 billion to $2.6 billion (in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement). The Stalking Horse Bidder would also purchase an entity (Garrett ASASCO Inc.) that directly holds (and after the closing will retain) the Company’s claims against Honeywell International Inc. in connection with the disputed Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement (as defined below) and Tax Matters Agreement (as defined below).
|
|
•
|
Upon completion of the sale, the Stalking Horse Bidder would list the new parent company on a recognized U.S. stock exchange.
|
|
•
|
The Stalking Horse Bidder would make available to the Company’s existing stockholders an equity co-investment opportunity on the same economic terms as the Stalking Horse Bidder, allowing the Company’s stockholders to continue to hold shares in the publicly-listed reorganized business. The Stalking Horse Bidder would offer co-investment in an aggregate amount of up to $350 million, $100 million of which would be available to all of the Company’s existing stockholders on a pro rata basis. The Stalking Horse Bidder has indicated that it expects the Company’s existing stockholders would own approximately 24% of outstanding common equity of the new parent company assuming maximum co-investment (subject to adjustment).
|
|
•
|
The anticipated dates for the Company’s competitive auction process would be extended to provide additional time to assess higher or better offers. The anticipated auction date would be no later than December 18, 2020 rather than November 24, 2020, with other dates adjusted accordingly.
|
14
|
•
|
The costs and expenses for which the Company is obligated to reimburse the Stalking Horse Bidder in certain circumstances in which the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement is terminated would be capped at $21 million.
|
The Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal was conditioned on Bankruptcy Court approval of our proposed bidding procedures and the stalking horse protections, which were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in an order entered on October 24, 2020. The Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal remain subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and higher or better offers in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects to work with the Stalking Horse Bidder to amend the Stalking Horse Purchase Agreement and other transaction documentation to reflect the terms of the Stalking Horse Bidder Revised Proposal.
Restructuring Support Agreement
On the Petition Date, the Debtors entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with consenting lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”) holding, in the aggregate, approximately 61% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepetition Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as Holdings, Garrett LX III S.à r.l., as Lux Borrower, Garrett Borrowing LLC, as U.S. Co-Borrower, Garrett Motion Sàrl, as Swiss Borrower, the Lenders and Issuing Banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the RSA, the Consenting Lenders and the Debtors have agreed to the principal terms of a financial restructuring, which will be implemented through a plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) and will include the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of certain Debtors and of the stock of certain Debtors and other subsidiaries, as further described below.
The RSA provides that the Consenting Lenders will support the Debtors’ restructuring efforts, including the proposed acquisition and the Plan, as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the RSA. In addition, the Consenting Lenders have agreed to the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Term Loan Facility (as defined below) discussed below.
The RSA provides certain milestones for the Restructuring Transactions. Failure of the Debtors to satisfy these milestones without a waiver or consensual amendment would provide the Requisite Consenting Lenders a termination right under the RSA. These milestones, as modified from time to time, include (a) no later than 5 days after the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the DIP Order (as defined below)on an interim basis, which DIP Order shall be in the form and substance acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders; (b) no later than 35 days after the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered (i) an order approving the bidding procedures with respect to the Acquisition and (ii) the DIP Order on a final basis; (c) no later than November 20, 2020, the Company Parties shall have filed an Acceptable Plan, Disclosure Statement, and a motion to approve the Disclosure Statement, each of which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders; (d) no later than January 8, 2021, (i) the hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement shall have occurred and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement on a final basis, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders; (e) no later than 150 days after the Petition Date, a hearing shall have occurred for approval of (x) (i) the Acquisition and (ii) confirmation of the Plan or (y) another Acceptable Plan, and within 2 Business Days thereafter, the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Confirmation Order on a final basis, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Consenting Lenders; and (f) no later than 210 days after the Petition Date, (i) the Acquisition shall have closed and (ii) the Plan Effective Date shall have occurred. Among other conditions, the transaction contemplated by the RSA is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the transaction described therein will be consummated.
Plan of Reorganization
Under the Bankruptcy Code, we currently have the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 through and including 120 days after the Petition Date, and to solicit acceptances of such plan through and including 180 days after the Petition Date. These deadlines may be extended with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Under the absolute priority scheme established by the Bankruptcy Code, unless our creditors agree otherwise, all of our pre-petition liabilities and post-petition liabilities must be satisfied in full before the holders of our existing common stock can receive any distribution or retain any property under a plan of reorganization. The ultimate recovery to creditors and/or shareholders, if any, will not be determined until confirmation and implementation of a plan or plans of reorganization. We can give no assurance that any recovery or distribution of any amount will be made to any of our creditors or shareholders. Our plan of reorganization could result in any of the holders of our liabilities and/or securities, including our common stock, receiving no distribution on account of their interests and cancellation of their holdings. Moreover, a plan of reorganization can be confirmed, under the Bankruptcy Code, even if the holders of our common stock vote against the plan of reorganization and even if the plan of reorganization provides that the holders of our common stock receive no distribution on account of their equity interests.
15
Chapter 11 Accounting
The Company has applied ASC 852 in preparing our Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements for periods subsequent to the Petition Date to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the Company's reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses directly resulting from the reorganization and restructuring shall be reported separately as Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations. In addition, the balance sheet distinguishes pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and post-petition liabilities. Pre-petition liabilities that are not fully secured or those that have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the allowed claim amount have been classified as liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.
Under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may affirm, assume and assign or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a prepetition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors of performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a pre-petition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach subject, in the case of the rejection of unexpired leases of real property, to certain caps on damages. Counterparties to such rejected contracts or leases may assert unsecured claims in the Bankruptcy Court against the applicable Debtor’s estate for such damages. Generally, the assumption or assumption and assignment of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance thereunder. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with a Debtor in this quarterly report, including where applicable a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease with a Debtor is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code.
Reorganization Items, Net
The Debtors have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs associated with the reorganization, including the write-off of original issue discount and deferred long-term debt fees on debt, a component of liabilities subject to compromise, costs of debtor-in-possession financing and legal and professional fees. The amount of these charges, which since the Petition Date are being expensed as incurred, are expected to significantly affect the Company’s results of operations. In accordance with applicable guidance, costs associated with the bankruptcy proceedings have been recorded as Reorganization items, net within the Company's Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Reorganization items, net are comprised of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Long-Term Debt during the Chapter 11 Cases
We are party to a Credit Agreement , dated as of September 27, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain subsidiaries, the lenders and issuing banks party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, consisting of: a seven-year term B loan facility, consisting of a tranche denominated in Euro of €375 million and a tranche denominated in U.S. Dollars of $425 million (the “Term B Facility”); a five-year term A loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of €330 million (the “Term A Facility” and, together with the Term B Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”); and a five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of €430 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). On September 27, 2018, we completed the offering of €350 million (approximately $410 million based on exchange rates as of September 27, 2018) in aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The principal amounts outstanding on our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

The Senior Notes are not fully secured and have been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise in the Company's Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020. As of the Petition Date, the Company ceased accruing related interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Financial Statement Classification of Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. This relief generally was designed to preserve the value of the Debtors’ business and assets. Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court authorized, but did not require, the Debtors to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employee wages and benefits, taxes, critical vendors and foreign vendors. Pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for different amounts. The amounts classified as liabilities subject to compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determination of secured status of certain claims, the determination as to the value of any collateral securing claims, proof of claims or other events.
The following table presents liabilities subject to compromise as reported in the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020:

Please see above Long-Term Debt during the Chapter 11 Cases sub-section for details of the pre-petition debt reported as liabilities subject to compromise.
|
Determination of the value at which liabilities will ultimately be settled cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves the plan of reorganization. We will continue to evaluate the amount and classification of our pre-petition liabilities. Any additional liabilities that are subject to compromise will be recognized accordingly, and the aggregate amount of liabilities subject to compromise may change.

Potential Claims
The Debtors intend to file with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Sellers, subject to the assumptions to be filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. As part of the Chapter 11 Cases, parties believing that they have claims or causes of action against the Debtors may file proofs of claim evidencing such claims. We anticipate that certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units will be required to file proofs of claim with respect to claims against the Sellers by the deadline for general claims, which is currently expected to be December 11, 2020 (the “General Bar Date”).
The Debtors' have received 12 proofs of claim as of October 26, 2020, primarily representing general unsecured claims, in an amount of approximately $1 million. As claims are filed, the claims will be reconciled to amounts recorded in the Company's accounting records. Differences in amounts recorded and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and resolved, including through the filing of objections with the Bankruptcy Court, where appropriate. The Company may ask the Bankruptcy Court to disallow claims that the Company believes are duplicative, have been later amended or superseded, are without merit, are overstated or should be disallowed for other reasons. In addition, as a result of this process, the Company may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise. In the light of the substantial number of claims filed, and expected to be filed, the claims resolution process may take considerable time to complete and likely will continue after the Debtors emerge from bankruptcy. As of October 30, the Company’s assessment of the validity of claims received has not been completed.
DIP Credit Agreement
On October 6, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting interim approval of the Debtors’ entry into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), with the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Citibank N.A. as administrative agent (the “DIP Agent”). On October 9, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured, super-priority term loan (the “DIP Term Loan Facility”) with a maximum principal amount of $200 million, $100 million of which was funded on the Closing Date and $100 million of which was subsequently funded on October 22, 2020 (the “Delayed Draw Borrowing Date”), following entry of the Bankruptcy Court’s final order approving the DIP Term Loan Facility on October 21, 2020. The proceeds of the DIP Term Loan Facility are to be used by the Debtors to (a) pay certain costs, premiums, fees and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases, (b) make payments pursuant to any interim or final order entered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to any “first day” motions permitting the payment by the Debtors of any prepetition amounts then due and owing; (c) make certain adequate protection payments in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement and (d) fund working capital needs of the Debtors and their subsidiaries to the extent permitted by the DIP Credit Agreement.
The maturity date of the DIP Term Loan Facility is the earlier to occur of (a) March 31, 2021 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”); provided, however, that upon the Company’s written request such Scheduled Maturity Date can be extended by three separate one-month extensions subject to (i) the payment of an extension fee to the Lenders equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Loans outstanding at the time of such extension, (ii) no default or Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) existing at the time of such extension and (iii) accuracy of the representations and warranties in all material respects at the time of such extension and after giving effect thereto; and (b) the effective date of a plan of reorganization; and certain other events under the DIP Credit Agreement.
The outstanding principal amount under the DIP Term Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to (x) prior to March 31, 2021, LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus 4.50% per annum and (y) following March 31, 2021, if the Scheduled Maturity Date has been extended at such time, LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% LIBOR floor) plus 5.50% per annum, in each case, compounded monthly and payable every 30 days in arrears. On the Closing Date, the Company paid 1.00% in commitment fees on the total commitment plus 2.00% in fees in the form of original issue discount on the initial $100 million borrowing. On the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date, date the Company paid 2.00% in fees in the form of original issue discount on the $100 million delayed draw loan. Upon an event of default, all outstanding amounts under the DIP Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable interest rate plus an additional 2.00% per annum and be payable on demand.
Pursuant to the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the obligations arising under the prepetition Credit Agreement and that are Debtors in the Chapter 11 Case have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions, the DIP Term Loan Facility is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors. The DIP Financing is subject to certain covenants, including, without limitation, related to the incurrence of additional debt, liens, the making of restricted payments, and the Company’s failure to comply with certain bankruptcy-related covenants, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement. The DIP Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and events of default that are customary for debtor-in-possession facilities of this type. The DIP Financing is subject to certain prepayment events, including, without limitation, upon the sale of certain assets, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.
On October 12, 2020, the Company, the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders entered into the First Amendment to the DIP Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment eliminates the obligation for the Company to pay certain fees to the DIP Lenders in connection with certain prepayment events under the DIP Credit Agreement.
18
Automatic Stay
Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.
Condensed Combined Debtor Only Financial Information

Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the audited annual Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Form 10-K. We include herein certain updates to those policies.
Trade Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount as a result of transactions with customers. Garrett maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of a customer’s inability to make required payments. As of January 1, 2020, Garrett adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance requires an entity to recognize as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. The guidance is also applicable to contract assets such as unbilled receivables. Consistent with the new guidance, Garrett estimates losses from doubtful accounts expected over the contractual life of the receivables based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date and collection history. Garrett also takes into consideration changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends (for example, customers in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization). Receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined uncollectible. Such determination includes analysis and consideration of the particular conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed upon payment plans, solvency of customer and any bankruptcy proceedings.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new guidance. The adoption did not have an impact on our Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets, Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and related Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new standard resulted in an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $5 million which was recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.
21
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20), which amends certain disclosure requirements related to the defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our hedging relationships, other transactions, and disclosures.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily because of a decrease in withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings, partially offset by true ups from local filings. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is lower than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 because of a decrease in withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings, partially offset by an increase in tax reserves and non-deductible expenses that are not impacted proportionately with lower pre-tax book income.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a reduction of withholding taxes on undistributed earnings.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to non-deductible expenses and tax reserves, partially offset by lower withholding taxes on undistributed earnings and non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates.
The effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to changes in the Company’s global mix of earnings, impacts of Covid-19, the resolution of income tax audits, changes in tax laws (including updated guidance on U.S. tax reform), deductions related to employee share-based payments, internal restructurings and pension mark-to-market adjustments.
In connection with the global outbreak of COVID-19, many countries have enacted legislation to provide various forms of emergency economic relief, including the CARES Act in the United States, that may provide financial benefits to the Company. At this time, we do not expect such benefits to have a material impact to the Company.

Unbilled receivables include $48 million and $6 million of contract assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. See Note 4, Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers.
Note 9. Factoring and Notes Receivable
The Company entered into arrangements with financial institutions to sell eligible trade receivable. During the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company sold $128 and $27 million of eligible receivables, respectively, without recourse, and accounted for these arrangements as true sales.
The Company also received guaranteed bank notes without recourse, in settlement of accounts receivables, primarily in the Asia Pacific region. The Company can hold the bank notes until maturity, exchange them with suppliers to settle liabilities, or sell them to third party financial institutions in exchange for cash. During the periods ended September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company sold $51 and $105 million of bank notes, respectively, without recourse, and accounted for these as true sales.

Note 15. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
Our credit, market and foreign currency risk management policies are described in Note 18, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures, of the notes to the audited annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our 2019 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had contracts with aggregate gross notional amounts of $373 million and $1,820 million, respectively, to limit interest rate risk and to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Swiss Franc, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, New Romanian Leu, Czech Koruna, Australian Dollar and Korean Won.
Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The foreign currency exchange, interest rate swap and cross-currency swap contracts are valued using market observable inputs. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. The assumptions used in measuring fair value of the cross-currency swap are considered Level 2 inputs, which are based upon market observable interest rate curves, cross currency basis curves, credit default swap curves, and foreign exchange rates.
As a result of our voluntary filing for Chapter 11 protection, all foreign exchange, interest rate swap, and cross-currency swap contracts were stayed as of the Petition Date. As noted in the table above, the majority were terminated at or prior to September 30, 2020. All outstanding amounts as of September 30, 2020 are classified as Other Liabilities and are fully secured and payable upon emergence of the Chapter 11 cases. Any valuation difference from our Petition Date to the termination date will be reflected in Reorganization items, net. See Note 2, Reorganization and Chapter 11 Proceedings, for additional information.
27
A number of our forward currency exchange contracts are also designated as accounting hedges. Upon termination, these amounts have been dedesignated. As the Company still anticipates the forecasted transaction to commence, the amounts in accumulated comprehensive incomes will be released based on our original forecast.
The carrying value of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Account receivables and Notes and Other receivables contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.

The Company determined the fair value of certain of its long-term debt and related current maturities utilizing transactions in the listed markets for similar liabilities. As such, the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities is considered Level 2.

Diluted EPS is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the period.
The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the effect of stock options when the options’ assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the weighted number of stock options excluded from the computations was 425,866 and 435,021, respectively. These stock options were outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
Chapter 11 Proceedings
Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases automatically stayed the proceedings and actions against us that are described below, in addition to actions seeking to collect pre-petition indebtedness or to exercise control over the property of the Company’s bankruptcy estates. The plan contemplated by the RSA, if confirmed, will provide for the treatment of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates, including pre-petition liabilities that have not been satisfied or addressed during the Chapter 11 Cases.

Obligations payable to Honeywell
Honeywell is a defendant in asbestos-related personal injury actions mainly related to its legacy Bendix friction materials (“Bendix”) business. The Bendix business manufactured automotive brake linings that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake replacements. Certain operations that were part of the Bendix business were transferred to Garrett.
29
In connection with the Spin-Off, Garrett ASASCO, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement with Honeywell on September 12, 2018. As of the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, Garrett ASASCO is obligated to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. Pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is responsible for paying to Honeywell such amounts, up to a cap of an amount equal to the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate determined by Honeywell as of a date within two business days prior to the date of the Distribution (1.16977 USD = 1 EUR) equivalent of $175 million in respect of such liabilities arising in any given calendar year. The payments that Garrett ASASCO is required to make to Honeywell pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement will not be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement. During the first quarter of 2020, Garrett ASASCO paid Honeywell the Euro-equivalent of $35 million in connection with the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement. Honeywell and Garrett agreed to defer the payment under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement due May 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 (the “Q2 Payment”). We do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplated by the RSA, if confirmed, will provide for the treatment of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement, including pre-petition liabilities under the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed during the Chapter 11 Cases.
On December 2, 2019, the Company and its subsidiary Garrett ASASCO, filed a Summons with Notice in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the “NY Supreme Court”) commencing an action (the “Action”) against Honeywell, certain of Honeywell’s subsidiaries and certain of Honeywell’s employees for declaratory judgment, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, corporate waste, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment. On January 15, 2020, the Company and Garrett ASASCO, filed a Complaint in the NY Supreme Court in connection with the Action. The lawsuit arises from the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement. The Company is seeking declaratory relief; compensatory damages in an amount to be determined at trial; rescission of the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement; attorneys’ fees and costs and such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. There can be no assurance as to the time and resources that will be required to pursue these claims or the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit. Among other claims, Garrett asserts that Honeywell is not entitled to indemnification because it improperly seeks indemnification for amounts attributable to punitive damages and intentional misconduct, and because it has failed to establish other prerequisites for indemnification under New York law. Specifically, the claim asserts that Honeywell has failed to establish its right to indemnity for each and every asbestos settlement of the thousands for which it seeks indemnification. The Action seeks to establish that the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement is not enforceable, in whole or in part. On March 5, 2020, Honeywell filed a “Notice of Motion to Dismiss Garrett’s Complaint.” The parties agreed to certain schedules for the case that provided that Garrett would file an amended complaint, then Honeywell would have an opportunity to file another motion to dismiss in response. On September 20, 2020, Garrett and certain of its subsidiaries each filed the Chapter 11 Cases. On September 23, 2020, Garrett removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and on September 24, 2020, the case was referred to the Bankruptcy Court, where the case is currently pending. On October 13, 2020, Honeywell filed a motion to dismiss in the Bankruptcy Court. Garrett does not believe Honeywell’s motion has merit, and Garrett plans to respond. A pre-trial conference took place on October 22, 2020. The Court is expected to hear argument on Honeywell’s pending motion to dismiss on November 18, 2020.
On September 12, 2018, we also entered into a tax matters agreement with Honeywell (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), which governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Honeywell and us after the Spin-Off with respect to all tax matters (including tax liabilities, tax attributes, tax returns and tax contests). The Tax Matters Agreement generally provides that, following the Spin-Off date of October 1, 2018, we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for all taxes, including income taxes, sales taxes, value-added and payroll taxes, relating to Garrett for all periods, including periods prior to the completion date of the Spin-Off. Among other items, as a result of the mandatory transition tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to a subsidiary of Honeywell in the amount representing the net tax liability of Honeywell under the mandatory transition tax attributable to us, as determined by Honeywell. We estimate that Garrett ASASCO’s total aggregate payments to Honeywell with respect to the mandatory transition tax will be $240 million with $200 million in payments remaining as of September 30, 2020. Under the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, Garrett ASASCO is required to pay this amount in Euros, without interest, in five annual installments, each equal to 8% of the aggregate amount, followed by three additional annual installments equal to 15%, 20% and 25% of the aggregate amount, respectively. Following the Spin-Off in October 2018, Garrett ASASCO paid the first annual installment in October 2018, with subsequent annual installments to be paid in April of each year. The annual installment due on April 1, 2020 has been deferred to December 31, 2020 in agreement with Honeywell. We do not expect Garrett ASASCO to make payments to Honeywell under the Tax Matters Agreement during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The plan contemplated by the RSA, if confirmed, will provide for the treatment of claims against the Company’s bankruptcy estates under the Tax Matters Agreement, including pre-petition liabilities under the Tax Matters Agreement that have not been satisfied or addressed during the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off. The Tax Matters Agreement also provides that we are required to indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law. Further, the Tax Matters Agreement also imposes certain restrictions on us and our subsidiaries (including restrictions on share issuances, redemptions or repurchases, business combinations, sales of assets and similar transactions) that are designed to address compliance with Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and are intended to preserve the tax-free nature of the Spin-Off.
30
On July 17, 2020, we provided notice to Honeywell asserting that Honeywell has caused material breaches of the Tax Matters Agreement and that the Tax Matters Agreement is unenforceable.
The following table summarizes our Obligation payable to Honeywell related to these agreements. As of September 30, 2020, all amounts have been reclassified to Liabilities subject to compromise on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets:

Asbestos Matters
The accounting for the majority of our asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable reflect the terms of the Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement with Honeywell entered into by Garrett ASASCO on September 12, 2018, under which Garrett ASASCO is required to make payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, primarily related to the Bendix business in the United States, as well as certain environmental-related liability payments and accounts payable and non-United States asbestos-related liability payments and accounts payable, in each case related to legacy elements of the Business, including the legal costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts and, as may be applicable, certain other recoveries associated with such liabilities. The Subordinated Asbestos Indemnity Agreement provides that the agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (x) December 31, 2048 or (y) December 31st of the third consecutive year during which certain amounts owed to Honeywell during each such year were less than $25 million as converted into Euros in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Securities Litigation
On September 25, 2020, a putative class action securities complaint was filed against Garrett Motion Inc. and certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case bears the caption: Steven Husson, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, v. Garrett Motion Inc., Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, and Su Ping Lu, Case No. 1:20-cv-07992-JPC (SDNY) (the “Husson Action”). The Husson Action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, for securities fraud and control person liability. On September 28, 2020, the plaintiff sought to voluntarily dismiss his claim against Garrett Motion Inc.; this request has been referred to the judge for approval. On October 5, 2020, another putative class action securities complaint was filed against certain current and former Garrett officers and directors, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. This case bears the caption: The Gabelli Asset Fund, The Gabelli Dividend & Income Trust, The Gabelli Value 25 Fund Inc., The Gabelli Equity Trust Inc., SM Investors LP and SM Investors II LP, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, v. Su Ping Lu, Olivier Rabiller, Alessandro Gili, Peter Bracke, Sean Deason, Craig Balis, Thierry Mabru, Russell James, Carlos M. Cardoso, Maura J. Clark, Courtney M. Enghauser, Susan L. Main, Carsten Reinhardt, and Scott A. Tozier, Case No. 1:20-cv-08296-JPC (SDNY) (the “Gabelli Action”). The Gabelli Action also asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Based on the publicly-available dockets, service has not yet been effected for either the Husson Action or the Gabelli Action. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims of the plaintiffs and any liability for the alleged claims is not currently probable or reasonably estimable.
Other Matters
We are subject to other lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.
In September 2020, the Brazilian tax authorities issued an infraction notice against Garrett Motion Industria Automotiva Brasil Ltda, challenging the use of certain tax credits between January 2017 and February 2020. The infraction notice results in a loss contingency that may or may not ultimately be incurred by the Company. The estimated total amount of the contingency as of September 30, 2020 was $27 million including penalties and interest. The Company plans to appeal the infraction notice. However, the Company believes, based on management’s assessment and the advice of external legal counsel, that it has meritorious arguments in connection with the infraction notice and any liability for the infraction notice is currently not probable. Accordingly, no accrual is required at this time.
Note 19. Pension Benefits
We sponsor several funded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Significant plans outside of the U.S. are in Switzerland and Ireland. Other pension plans outside of the U.S. are not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.
Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. We are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plan in 2020. We expect to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $7 million to our non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards in 2020, of which $6 million has been contributed through the first nine months of the year.
Net periodic benefit costs for our significant defined benefit plans include the following components:

For both our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, we estimate the service and interest cost components of net period benefit (income) cost by utilizing a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these cost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows. This approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and their corresponding spot rates.
Note 20. China Variable Interest Entity
On September 20, 2018 in preparation of the Spin-Off, we entered into an agreement by and between Honeywell and Garrett (the “China Purchase Agreement”) in which Honeywell agreed to sell to Garrett 100% of the equity interests of Honeywell Transportation Investment (China) Co., Ltd. (“Garrett China”) consisting of our primary operations in China, in exchange for upfront consideration of 8,444,077 shares of our common stock. No further consideration from Garrett was due. The China Purchase Agreement was amended to extend the date of the transfer of the equity interests in Garrett China from September 20, 2019 to June 30, 2020.
Prior to the transfer of the equity interests, Garrett China was considered a variable interest entity for which Garrett is the primary beneficiary because the China Purchase Agreement provided Garrett control to direct the management and operation of Garrett China as well as all economic benefits and losses. The intent of the agreement was to place Garrett in the same position as if it already owned 100% of the equity interests of Garrett China. As the agreement was effective prior to the Spin-Off date while the Company and Garrett China were under common control of Honeywell, the assets and liabilities of Garrett China were recognized at their carrying amounts.
On June 3, 2020 Honeywell transferred 100% of the equity interests of Garrett China in accordance with the China Purchase Agreement. Following the transfer, Garrett continues to consolidate Garrett China. However, Garrett China is no longer considered to be a variable interest entity as Garrett now owns 100% of the equity interests. There was no change in the basis of the net assets of Garrett China as the transaction did not result in a change of control under U.S. GAAP.
