Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On February 6, 2017, Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (“Wabtec”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) reporting that, on February 3, 2017, Wabtec announced the closing of the previously disclosed cash and exchange tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase the ordinary shares of Faiveley Transport, S.A. (“Faiveley Transport”) not already acquired from Financière Faiveley S.A., Famille Faiveley Participations, Mr. François Faiveley and Mr. Erwan Faiveley (collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated October 6, 2015, by and among Wabtec, FW Acquisition LLC (“Wabtec France”) and the Sellers, as amended.

The Offer was open from December 27, 2016 through January 30, 2017. Wabtec, indirectly through Wabtec France, acquired a total of 4,065,860 Faiveley Transport ordinary shares, including (a) 3,816,195 ordinary shares pursuant to the cash offer for €100 per share and (b) 249,665 ordinary shares pursuant to the exchange offer of 15 shares of Wabtec’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), issued and paid for every 13 ordinary shares of Faiveley Transport, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 288,075 shares of Common Stock.

Taking into account the shares that it already held, Wabtec France therefore held 78.17% of the share capital and 76.26% of the voting rights of Faiveley Transport immediately following the closing of the Offer.

As previously reported, in accordance with the applicable regulation in France, the Offer was reopened. Following the subsequent Offer, the minority shareholders represented less than 5% of the share capital or voting rights of Faiveley Transport, and Wabtec France has the intention to implement, at the latest within three months of the closing of the subsequent Offer, a mandatory squeeze-out procedure with respect to the Faiveley Transport shares which have not been tendered to the subsequent Offer.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend and supplement the Initial Form 8-K to provide certain historical financial statements of Faiveley Transport and related pro forma financial information, as described in Item 9.01 below, which were not previously filed with the Initial Form 8-K and which are permitted to be filed by amendment no later than 71 calendar days after the date the Initial Form 8-K was required to be filed with the SEC. Except as otherwise noted, all other information in the Initial Form 8-K remains unchanged.
