Launch of the placement of One Equity Partners' stake in Faurecia

One Equity Partners (an investment fund of JPMorgan Chase & Co.) has informed Faurecia of the launch today, through a share placement to institutional investors, of the disposal of its share in Faurecia, i.e. 13% of our company's capital. As part of this disposal, Faurecia has lifted the lock-up agreement held with One Equity Partners, which was defined in the terms of the EMCON Technologies acquisition contract signed in February 2010.

One Equity Partners became Faurecia shareholders following the acquisition of EMCON Technologies in February 2010, an operation which was paid exclusively in new Faurecia shares.
