Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 17, 2011, Timothy M. Manganello, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a written plan for the automatic sale of a portion of his shares of the Company's common stock. The plan is designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with the Company's policies regarding transactions in Company securities by insiders. The plan is entered into in part to avoid an inference that any future sales would be made on the basis of material non-public information.
The purpose of the plan is to diversify the investment portfolio of Mr. Manganello. Under the plan, 350,000 shares of Mr. Manganello's stock will be sold over a period of time beginning on April 17, 2011, subject to price and volume parameters specified in the plan. Upon completion of the sales, Mr. Manganello will still have a significant amount of his investments and net worth in BorgWarner stock. The shares subject to the plan represent less than 29% of Mr. Manganello’s total beneficial ownership.
Any transaction executed pursuant to the plan will be reported on a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The information contained in this Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, regardless of any general incorporation language in any such filings.
