Item 2.01     Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 18, 2021, as amended on March 26, 2021, BorgWarner Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated February 15, 2021, by and among the Company, Blitz F21-842 AG, a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Germany and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company that is now known as “ABBA BidCo AG” (“BidCo”), and Akasol AG, a stock corporation incorporated under the laws of Germany (“Akasol”), pursuant to which the Company, indirectly through BidCo, made a voluntary public takeover offer within the meaning of Sections 29 para. 1, 34 of the German Securities Acquisition and Takeover Act for the purchase of up to all of the 6,061,856 non-par value bearer shares with a proportionate amount of €1.00 per share of the share capital of Akasol (each, an “Akasol Share” and collectively “Akasol Shares”) for cash consideration per Akasol Share of €120.00 (the “Offer”). Sven Schulz, Akasol’s largest shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, as well as certain other shareholders, each entered into an Agreement on the Irrevocable Undertaking with the Company and BidCo under which each such shareholder committed to tender approximately 59.4% of the issued Akasol Shares into the Offer.

The additional acceptance period of the Offer expired at 24:00 hrs. (Frankfurt am Main local time) / 18:00 hrs. (New York City time) on May 26, 2021. The Offer has been accepted for a total of 5,400,025 Akasol Shares (the “Tendered Akasol Shares”), corresponding to approximately 89.08% of the share capital and the voting rights of Akasol. The Offer settled on June 4, 2021 (the “Settlement Date”), by crediting the offer consideration to the account of the respective custodian bank at Clearstream Banking AG simultaneously with the transfer of the Tendered Akasol Shares to BidCo (“Offer Settlement”).

Following Offer Settlement, Akasol became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. The total cash consideration paid by the Company, indirectly through BidCo, for the Tendered Akasol Shares was €648,003,000, which the Company paid from current cash balances and which includes proceeds received from the Company’s previously announced public offering of BorgWarner 1.00% Senior Notes due 2031.

Akasol, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-energy and high-performance lithium-ion battery systems for use in buses, commercial vehicles, rail vehicles and industrial vehicles, as well as in ships and boats.

Following Offer Settlement, subject to approval of the shareholders at the Akasol annual general meeting on June 30, 2021, the Company expects to be represented with three of the five members of Akasol’s Supervisory Board. The Company will assess what additional actions, if any, it will take to achieve full control and ownership of Akasol including, without limitation, the delisting of Akasol Shares.

Item 8.01     Other Events

On the Settlement Date, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
