Item 8.01. Other Events

In April 2013, a subsidiary of Sensata Technologies Holding N.V. terminated its relationship with a minor customer in South Korea. We are currently engaged in a dispute with this former customer relating to significant damages the customer allegedly has incurred and/or will incur due to the termination, but the dispute has not resulted in any litigation. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss relating to this matter. If any litigation arises from this dispute, we intend to defend ourself vigorously under all defenses that may be available.
