(“AEP”), and Icahn Enterprises L.P., pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire Federal-Mogul.

NOTICE OF

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Items of

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of Common Stock you own. The transaction cannot be completed unless the issuance of the Stock Consideration is approved by a majority of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote on the proposal at the special meeting (whether in person or by proxy, attorney or representative), and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is adopted by a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether in person or by proxy, attorney or representative).

Even if you plan to attend the special meeting in person, we request that you complete, sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope or submit your proxy by telephone or the Internet prior to the special meeting to ensure that your shares of Common Stock will be represented at the special meeting if you are unable to attend.

If you fail to return your proxy card, to submit your proxy by phone or the Internet or to attend the special meeting in person, your shares of Common Stock will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal to adopt the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, but will have no effect on the proposal to approve the issuance of the Stock Consideration to AEP, the proposal to approve the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan or the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, or any adjournments thereof, to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the issuance of the Stock Consideration to AEP, to adopt the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or to approve the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The following are brief answers to common questions that you may have regarding the transaction, the Purchase Agreement, the consideration to be issued in the transaction and the special meeting of Tenneco stockholders. The questions and answers in this section may not address all questions that might be important to you as a stockholder of Tenneco Inc., which we refer to as “Tenneco” (or “we,” “as” or “our”). To better understand these matters, and for a description of the legal terms governing the transaction, we urge you to read carefully and in its entirety this proxy statement, including the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement. The fact that additional information is being incorporated by reference into this proxy statement should not necessarily be viewed as an indication that such information is material to your decision on how to vote on the proposals. See the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 190.

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

On April 10, 2018, Tenneco, Federal-Mogul LLC (“Federal-Mogul”), American Entertainment Properties Corp. (“AEP”) and Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), which is described in this proxy statement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Tenneco has agreed to acquire Federal-Mogul. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.

In order to complete the transaction, Tenneco stockholders must vote to (i) adopt the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Tenneco Inc., in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex C (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), to create a new class of non-voting common stock of Tenneco called “Class B Non-Voting Common Stock,” par value $0.01 (“Class B Non-Voting Common Stock”), with 25,000,000 shares authorized, and reclassify common stock, par value $0.01, of Tenneco (“Common Stock”) as “Class A Voting Common Stock,” par value $0.01 (“Class A Voting Common Stock”), and (ii) approve the issuance and delivery of an aggregate of 29,444,846 shares of Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) to AEP, subject to decrease as described in this proxy statement.

This proxy statement is being provided to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the special meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, or postponements or adjournments of such special meeting, to obtain the foregoing approvals. This proxy statement, together with its appendices, contains and incorporates by reference important information about Tenneco, Federal-Mogul, the transaction and the special meeting, and you should read all of the available information carefully. The fact that additional information is being incorporated by reference into this proxy statement should not necessarily be viewed as an indication that such information is material to your decision on how to vote on the proposals. The enclosed proxy allows you to vote your shares without attending the special meeting in person.

In addition, Tenneco stockholders are being asked to approve the amended and restated Tenneco Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex D (the “Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan”), to change the number of shares available for issuance under the plan pursuant to equity awards granted thereunder to 3,000,000 (which represents an increase of approximately 1,735,200 from the number of shares available for issuance under the plan prior to the amendment).

Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible.

1

What is the purpose of the special meeting?

At the special meeting, Tenneco stockholders will consider and vote on the following proposals:

What is the voting recommendation of the board of directors?

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” each of the proposals.

What vote is needed for each proposal to be approved or adopted?

Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the record date for the special meeting. As of the record date, there were 51,422,522 shares of Common Stock outstanding and therefore 25,711,262 votes are required for Proposal 1 to be adopted. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1. If you fail to submit a proxy or attend the special meeting in person, or if you fail to issue voting instructions to your bank, broker or other record holder, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1.

Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the special meeting. Under the current rules and interpretive guidance of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “votes cast” on Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 consist of votes “for” or “against” as well as elections to abstain from voting. As a result, a stockholder’s election to abstain from voting on Proposal 2 or Proposal 3 will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker or other record holder or any other failure of a stockholder to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve Proposal 2 or Proposal 3 because these failures to vote are not considered “votes cast.”

Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares voting on the proposal. Any stockholder represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on Proposal 4 may elect to abstain from voting on this proposal. If so, such abstention will not be counted as a

2

vote cast on the proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal. Provided there is a quorum of stockholders present in person or by proxy, stockholders not attending the meeting, in person or by proxy, will also have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

How will existing Tenneco stockholders be affected by the transaction?

Existing stockholders will not receive anything in the transaction. Upon the closing of the transaction, existing stockholders will continue to own the same number of shares of Common Stock that they owned immediately prior to the transaction, except that each share of Common Stock will be reclassified as one share of Class A Voting Common Stock. Following such reclassification, existing stockholders will have all of the same rights and privileges as holders of Class A Voting Common Stock as such holders had as holders of Common Stock.

The issuance of shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to AEP as the Stock Consideration will dilute the ownership and voting interests of existing Tenneco stockholders. Upon the closing of the transaction, we will issue an amount of Class A Voting Common Stock to AEP equal to 9.9% of our Class A Voting Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately following the closing of the transaction. Accordingly, Tenneco stockholders existing immediately prior to the closing of the transaction will have proportionally less voting power following the closing of the transaction. In addition, we will issue up to approximately 24 million shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, subject to reduction as described below. As such, existing stockholders will have proportionally less ownership following the closing of the transaction, although the size of Tenneco will be significantly increased as a result of the acquisition of Federal-Mogul.

In addition, if stockholders approve the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, more shares of Common Stock will be reserved for issuance pursuant thereto, and, when and if such additional shares are distributed in the form of compensation to eligible persons, pursuant to the applicable rules of the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan and Tenneco policies, existing stockholders’ ownership will be proportionally diluted.

Prior to the closing of the transaction, assuming the price of our Common Stock is above $54.6785, Tenneco may elect, or if Tenneco does not elect, AEP may direct Tenneco in certain circumstances, to conduct a primary offering of Common Stock in order to raise funds to increase the cash consideration of $800 million (the “Cash Consideration”) by the amount of certain of the proceeds of such offering. Such offering may include up to 7,315,490 shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to AEP in connection with the transaction. If such an offering is undertaken, the Cash Consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the number of shares sold in such offering multiplied by $54.6785 and the Stock Consideration will be decreased by the number of shares sold in such offering. In other words, the total number of shares to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Federal-Mogul will not change if Tenneco undertakes such an offering. However, Tenneco stockholders existing immediately prior to the offering (and prior to the closing of the transaction), will have proportionally less voting power following the closing of the offering (and subsequently, following the closing of the transaction). However, Tenneco stockholders will not experience any incremental economic dilution as a result of such offering as the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transaction will not be increased above 29,444,846.

Based on the 51,422,522 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2018, it is anticipated that upon the closing of the transaction, Tenneco stockholders existing immediately prior to the closing of the transaction will own approximately 63.6%, and AEP will own

3

approximately 36.4%, of Tenneco’s outstanding Class A Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, measured as a single class.

Furthermore, following the completion of the transaction, our board of directors has agreed to take all actions necessary to increase the size of our board of directors by one member, and fill the resulting vacancy with the chief executive officer of IEP (or another designee of IEP, if applicable, provided such designee is reasonably acceptable to Tenneco and meets the requirements set forth in Tenneco’s by-laws (the “By-Laws”) and Corporate Governance Principles), and nominate and recommend for election at each annual meeting of stockholders the then-serving chief executive officer of IEP (or another designee of IEP, if applicable, provided such designee is reasonably acceptable to Tenneco and meets the requirements set forth in the By-Laws and Corporate Governance Principles) until certain events occur.

In addition, upon closing of the transaction and prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, Brian J. Kesseler, Tenneco’s current Chief Executive Officer, and Roger J. Wood, a member of our board of directors, will serve as co-Chief Executive Officers of Tenneco. Mr. Kesseler will lead Aftermarket & Ride Performance and Mr. Wood will lead Powertrain Technology. Messrs. Kesseler and Wood will report to our board of directors. Following the Spin-Off, Mr. Kesseler will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Aftermarket & Ride Performance company, and Mr. Wood will serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Powertrain Technology company. See “The Transaction — Board of Directors and Management Following the Transaction” for additional information.

Why does Tenneco need to amend and restate its certificate of incorporation?

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is required under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and is necessary to enable Tenneco to have enough shares of non-voting common stock to issue to AEP in connection with the transaction. Accordingly, if the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not adopted by our stockholders at the special meeting, a condition to the closing of the transaction will not be satisfied and the transaction will not be consummated.

If the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is adopted by our stockholders, Tenneco will have the ability to issue the remaining unissued shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock in the future. At present, our board of directors has no plans to issue the additional shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock authorized by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. However, it is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Tenneco, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which our securities may then be listed. These purposes may include raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, establishing strategic relationships with other companies and expanding our business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products.

Why does Tenneco need to amend and restate its long-term incentive plan?

Our board of directors is seeking to amend and restate our long-term incentive plan to ensure our continued ability to offer equity-based incentives to employees, non-employee directors and other persons providing services to Tenneco or its subsidiaries. Our board of directors believes this type of compensation is critical to our ability to attract and retain highly qualified individuals and otherwise attain our goals, while also aligning these individuals’ interests with those of our stockholders. However, our board of directors does not believe it has sufficient shares available

4

for future delivery under our current long-term incentive plan to accomplish these purposes in light of the substantial increase in our employee base that will occur as a result of the transaction. Accordingly, Tenneco is seeking to amend its long-term incentive plan (in the form of an amendment and restatement) in order to issue equity awards to appropriately retain and incentivize a larger number of employees as well as achieve the benefits of the transaction.

The number of shares currently available for grant under our current plan, based on the rate at which we used shares thereunder for the last five years, will be exhausted in 2019.

Accordingly, we are asking our stockholders to approve the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, which if approved, will change the number of shares available for issuance under the plan pursuant to equity awards granted thereunder to 3,000,000 (which represents an increase of approximately 1,735,200 from the number of shares available for issuance under the plan prior to the amendment).

When do you expect the transaction to be completed?

Tenneco and Federal-Mogul are working to complete the transaction as soon as reasonably possible. Tenneco and Federal-Mogul must first obtain the necessary approvals, including the adoption of Proposal 1 and the approval of Proposal 2 by Tenneco stockholders, all required regulatory approvals, and satisfy the other closing conditions described in the Purchase Agreement. Approval of Proposal 3 is not a condition to the completion of the transaction. There can be no assurance as to whether all the conditions to the transaction will be met, nor any prediction of the exact timing of the completion of the transaction. It is possible Tenneco and Federal-Mogul will not complete the transaction. Tenneco currently expects to complete the transaction early in the fourth quarter of 2018.

What happens if the transaction is not completed?

If Proposal 1 is not adopted or Proposal 2 is not approved by the Tenneco stockholders or if the transaction is not completed for any other reason, Tenneco will not acquire Federal-Mogul, in which case Tenneco and Federal-Mogul will each remain an independent company. Under certain circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement, which circumstances do not include the failure of our stockholders to adopt Proposal 1 or approve Proposal 2, Tenneco may be required to pay a termination fee of $200 million to AEP in connection with a termination of the Purchase Agreement.

Am I entitled to exercise appraisal or similar rights under Delaware law as a result of the transaction or the issuance of the Stock Consideration?

No. Under Delaware law, Tenneco stockholders do not have any “dissenters’ rights” or rights to an appraisal of the value of their shares in connection with the transaction or the issuance of the Stock Consideration.

When and where will the special meeting be held?

The special meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., Central Time, at our headquarters at 500 North Field Drive in Lake Forest, Illinois 60045.

5

Who is entitled to vote at the special meeting?

Only holders of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on July 31, 2018 are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof. There were 51,422,522 shares of Common Stock outstanding on July 31, 2018.

Stockholders are entitled to cast one vote per share of Common Stock on all matters.

Who may attend the special meeting?

Anyone who was a stockholder as of the close of business on July 31, 2018 may attend the special meeting.

If you plan to attend, please note that you may be asked to present valid identification, as more fully set forth under the section entitled “The Special Meeting — Special Meeting Admission” beginning on page 62.

What constitutes a quorum at the special meeting?

The presence at the special meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date is considered a quorum for the transaction of business. If you submit a properly completed proxy or if you appear at the special meeting to vote in person, your shares of Common Stock will be considered part of the quorum.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other record holder holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

How do I vote?

You may vote your shares in person, by telephone, by Internet, by mail, or by facsimile pursuant to the instructions included elsewhere in this proxy statement, as more fully described in the section entitled “The Special Meeting — Voting at the Special Meeting” beginning on page 58.

How will my proxy be voted?

All properly completed, unrevoked proxies that are timely received will be voted in accordance with the specifications made. If a properly executed, unrevoked written proxy card does not specifically direct the voting of shares covered by the proxy, the proxy will be voted:

Our board of directors is not aware of any other matters that may properly come before the special meeting. However, should any such matters come before the special meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy card to vote all proxies (unless otherwise directed by stockholders) in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

6

May I revoke or change my vote?

Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, you can revoke your proxy in one of the following ways:

Your attendance at the special meeting will not itself revoke your previously granted proxy unless you provide a written and signed revocation to the chair of the special meeting at the special meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your bank, broker or other record holder or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other record holder giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the special meeting and voting in person.

What does it mean if I received more than one set of proxy materials?

If you received more than one set of proxy materials, it likely means that you hold shares of our Common Stock in more than one account. For example, you may own your shares in various forms (including jointly with your spouse, as trustee of a trust, or as custodian for a minor). To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please provide a proxy or voting instructions for each account for which you received proxy materials.

If your shares are held by a broker (i.e., in “street name”), you will receive your proxy card or other voting information from your broker, and you will need to return your proxy card or cards to your broker.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, broker or other record holder, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other record holder on how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the special meeting. Your bank, broker other record holder will provide voting instructions for you to use in directing the voting of your shares.

If my shares are held in street name by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

If you hold your shares in street name, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker.

7

Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to us or by voting in person at the special meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your bank or broker. Under the listing requirements of the NYSE, brokers who hold shares in street name for a beneficial owner of those shares typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. However, brokers are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion with respect to the approval of matters that the NYSE determines to be “non-routine,” such as approval of the issuance of the shares comprising the Stock Consideration pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes are shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the stockholders’ meetings, but with respect to which the broker or nominee is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares to vote on the particular proposal and the broker does not have discretionary voting power on such proposal.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held by a broker and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your broker may not vote your shares on the proposals.

What happens if I transfer my shares of Common Stock after the record date?

Transferors of shares of our Common Stock after the record date, but prior to the special meeting, will retain their right to vote at the special meeting.

Who will count the vote?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as inspectors of election.

How can I find the voting results of the special meeting?

We will report the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the end of the special meeting.

What do I need to do now?

Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read this proxy statement carefully, including its annexes and the documents we refer to in this proxy statement, and then mail your completed, dated, and signed proxy card in the enclosed prepaid return envelope as soon as possible, or submit your proxy instruction via the Internet or by phone in accordance with the instructions included in this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, to ensure that your shares can be voted at the special meeting. If you decide to attend the special meeting and vote in person, your vote by ballot will revoke any proxy previously submitted.

How is the solicitation being made?

The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. Solicitation will be made by mail, and may be made by directors, officers and employees, personally or by telephone, email or fax. Proxy cards and materials also will be distributed to beneficial owners of stock through brokers, custodians, nominees and other like parties, and we expect to reimburse such parties for their charges and expenses.

We have also engaged Innisfree M&A Incorporated to assist us in the solicitation of proxies, at an estimated cost of approximately $30,000, plus expense reimbursement.

8

Who can help answer my questions?

Tenneco stockholders who have questions about the transaction, the issuance of the Stock Consideration, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the other matters to be voted on at the special meeting or who desire additional copies of this proxy statement or additional proxy cards should contact Innisfree M&A Incorporated, Tenneco’s proxy solicitor, by calling toll free at (888) 750-5834.

In addition to general investment risks and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, including the matters described in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 52 and discussions under “Risk Factors” in Tenneco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated by other reports filed with the SEC, including Tenneco’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote your shares. You should also consider the other documents incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, as described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 190. The fact that this additional information is being incorporated by reference into this proxy statement should not necessarily be viewed as an indication that such information is material to your decision on how to vote on the proposals.

Risks Relating to the Transaction

There can be no assurance that we will successfully complete our acquisition of Federal-Mogul on the terms or timetable currently proposed or at all.

If the transaction is not completed, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the transaction will be completed. If the completion of the transaction is delayed, including by the receipt of an acquisition proposal, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, AEP and Federal-Mogul have the ability to terminate the Purchase Agreement in certain circumstances. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated, we would not realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction or the Spin-Off, but we would remain liable for significant transaction costs incurred, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In addition, in certain circumstances, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated, we could be required to pay AEP a termination fee equal to $200 million. See “The Purchase Agreement — Termination Fee; Effect of Termination.”

Any of the foregoing, or other risks arising in connection with the failure of, or delay in completing, the transaction, including the diversion of management’s attention from pursuing other opportunities and the constraints in the Purchase Agreement on our ability to make significant changes to our ongoing business during the pendency of the transaction, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and approval of the issuance of the Stock Consideration by our stockholders at the special meeting (or an adjournment or postponement thereof), that, if not satisfied, will result in the transaction not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The completion of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, that, if not satisfied, will prevent the transaction from being completed, including among others: (i) (a) the

adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and (b) the approval the issuance of the Stock Consideration by our stockholders at the special meeting of our stockholders; (ii) the absence of any outstanding order enacted, promulgated, issued, entered, amended or enforced by any governmental entity in the United States or European Union, or applicable law in the United States or European Union, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement; (iii) the applicable waiting periods (and any extensions thereof) under the HSR Act will have expired or terminated, approval will have been obtained from the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission and all approvals, consents and consultations required to consummate the transaction pursuant to any other antitrust law in the United States and European Union will have been obtained or any applicable waiting period thereunder will have terminated or expired; (iv) the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware; and (v) the approval for the listing of the Class A Voting Common Stock (including shares of Class A Voting Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to be issued to AEP as Stock Consideration) on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance. See “The Purchase Agreement — Conditions to Closing of the Transaction.”

If the transaction is not completed, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the loss of employees and customers, the costs incurred in pursuing the transaction, and potential reputational harm. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing will be satisfied or waived, or that other events will not intervene to delay or prevent the completion of the transaction.

We must obtain governmental and regulatory approvals prior to completing the transaction, which, if delayed or not granted, may delay or jeopardize the transaction.

The completion of the transaction is conditioned on the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (or extension thereof) under the HSR Act and on the approval of the transaction by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission, pursuant to EUMR. See “The Transaction — Regulatory Approvals Required for the Transaction.”

The governmental and regulatory agencies from which we are seeking these approvals have broad discretion in administering the applicable governing regulations. As a condition to their approval of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, those agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of our business following the transaction. The required approvals may not be obtained or the required conditions to the transaction may not be satisfied, or, even if the required approvals are obtained and the conditions to the completion of the transaction are satisfied, the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals are uncertain.

There can be no assurance that the requisite governmental and regulatory approvals will be received in a timely fashion or at all. Any delay in completing the transaction, including a delay in receipt of the necessary governmental or regulatory approvals, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and such delay could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the transaction were to be successfully completed within the expected time frame.

In addition, if we fail to obtain any necessary governmental or regulatory approval at or prior to the time the closing is required to occur pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we may elect to consummate the transaction without such approval. As a result, we may not be able to acquire certain assets, businesses or entities of Federal-Mogul at the closing of the transaction, in which

35

case AEP will hold such assets, businesses or entities separately for the benefit of Tenneco, until such time where such assets, businesses or entities can be transferred to Tenneco. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause us not to realize some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the transaction were to be successfully completed within the expected time frame. In addition, we could be subject to fines, penalties, costs and other adverse action undertaken by applicable governmental and regulatory agencies.

We may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the transaction or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. We and, following the Spin-Off, each separate company may also encounter significant difficulties in integrating the business of Federal-Mogul.

The success of the transaction will depend, in part, on our ability (and the ability of each separate company) to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction and Spin-Off and on our (and each separate company’s) ability to integrate Federal-Mogul’s business in an effective and efficient manner, which is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. The integration process may disrupt business and, if we are unable to successfully integrate Federal-Mogul’s business, we (and each separate company) could fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction and/or the Spin-Off. The failure to meet the challenges involved in the integration process and realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction and the Spin-Off could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our (and each separate company’s) business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the integration of Federal-Mogul may result in material unanticipated challenges, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses and loss of customers and other business relationships. Additional integration challenges include:

Many of these factors are outside of our control and could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of anticipated revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy, each of which could adversely affect our (and each separate company’s) business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, even if the integration of Federal-Mogul’s business is successful, we (and each separate company) may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the transaction and Spin-Off, including the synergies, cost savings, or sales or growth opportunities. These benefits may not be

36

achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration process. All of these factors could cause reductions in earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the transaction and negatively impact the price of shares of our Common Stock (or each separate company’s stock). As a result, it cannot be assured that the transaction and/or the Spin-Off will result in the realization of the anticipated benefits and potential synergies.

Our current stockholders will have reduced ownership and voting interests following the transaction and will exercise less influence over management.

Holders of our Common Stock currently possess all voting rights with respect to the election of our board of directors and on other matters affecting us. Upon the closing of the transaction, we will issue an amount of Class A Voting Common Stock to AEP equal to 9.9% of our Class A Voting Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately following the closing of the transaction. Accordingly, our stockholders will experience an immediate dilution and have proportionally less voting power in the combined company following the transaction, and as a result, may have less influence on our management and policies. Additionally, upon the closing of the transaction, we will issue the balance of the Stock Consideration in shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock. As a result, our stockholders will have proportionately less ownership than they have now.

In addition, prior to the closing of the transaction, assuming the price of our Common Stock is above $54.6785, we may elect, or if we do not elect, AEP may direct us in certain circumstances, to conduct a primary offering of Common Stock in order to raise funds to increase the Cash Consideration by the amount of certain of the proceeds of such offering. Such offering may include up to 7,315,490 shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to AEP in connection with the transaction. If such an offering is undertaken, the Cash Consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the number of shares sold in such offering multiplied by $54.6785 and the Stock Consideration will be decreased by the number of shares sold in such offering. In other words, the total number of shares to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Federal-Mogul will not change if Tenneco undertakes such an offering. However, Tenneco stockholders existing immediately prior to the offering (and prior to the closing of the transaction), will have proportionally less voting power following the closing of the offering (and subsequently, following the closing of the transaction). However, Tenneco stockholders will not experience any incremental economic dilution as a result of such offering as the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the transaction will not be increased above 29,444,846. See “The Transaction — General Description of the Transaction” for additional information.

We are unable to predict the potential effects of the issuance of the Stock Consideration on the trading activity and market price of our common stock. We have granted certain registration rights to AEP for the resale of the shares issued in connection with the transaction. These registration rights would facilitate the resale of such shares into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our Class A Voting Common Stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A Voting Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Class A Voting Common Stock.

If AEP transfers any shares of its Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to a third party, the shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock so transferred will automatically convert in shares of Class A Voting Common Stock and as a result, our current stockholders will experience further dilution and a proportionate reduction in voting power.

37

The Purchase Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential third-party from considering or proposing a transaction with us.

The Purchase Agreement contains “no solicitation” provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict our ability to solicit, initiate, induce or knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission or announcement of any proposal for the acquisition of our stock or assets. In addition, AEP generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Purchase Agreement in response to any acquisition proposal before our board of directors may terminate the Purchase Agreement to accept a superior proposal. See “The Purchase Agreement — No Solicitation by Tenneco; Recommendation Change.” The Purchase Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Purchase Agreement under specified circumstances, we will be required to pay AEP a termination fee equal to $200 million. See “The Purchase Agreement — Termination Fee; Effect of Termination.”

These provisions could discourage a potential third-party that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant portion of our stock or assets from considering or proposing such an acquisition or may result in a potential third-party proposing to pay a lower per share price to our stockholders than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances.

If the Purchase Agreement is terminated and we seek another business combination, we may not be able to negotiate a transaction with another party on terms comparable to, or better than, the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

The market price of our Class A Voting Common Stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the shares of our Common Stock prior to completion of the transaction.

Our historical business differs from that of Federal-Mogul. Accordingly, our results of operations and the market price of our Class A Voting Common Stock following the completion of the transaction may be affected by factors that differ from those that previously affected the independent results of operations of each of Tenneco and Federal-Mogul and the market price of our existing Common Stock.

We may not generate sufficient financing to fund the purchase price for the transaction.

We have entered into a debt commitment letter, pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC have committed to provide an aggregate amount of $4.9 billion of debt financing. The debt financing will consist of a $1.7 billion Term Loan A, a $1.7 billion Term Loan B and a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, which will finance the Cash Consideration portion of the purchase price and replace our existing senior credit facilities and certain senior facilities at Federal-Mogul.

There can be no assurance that the foregoing transactions, or any other financing transactions that we may pursue, will generate sufficient funds to finance the transaction. The obligations of the lenders under the debt commitment letter are subject to specified limited conditions, and we cannot assure you that these conditions will be met. The closing of the transaction is not conditioned on our ability to obtain sufficient financing to consummate the transaction.

38

The planned Spin-Off following the transaction is subject to various risks and uncertainties and may not be completed in accordance with the expected plans or anticipated timeline, or at all, and will involve significant time and expense, which could disrupt or adversely affect our business.

Following the completion of the transaction, we intend to separate the combined company’s businesses to create two separate, publicly traded companies in a spin-off transaction, which we refer to as the Spin-Off in this proxy statement. The Spin-Off is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the Spin-Off will be completed at all or that the Spin-Off will be tax-free for U.S. federal income purposes. We expect that the process of completing the proposed Spin-Off will be time-consuming and involve significant costs and expenses, which may be significantly higher than what we currently anticipate and may not yield a benefit if the Spin-Off is not completed. Planning for the Spin-Off is in its early stages, and we may encounter unforeseen impediments to the completion of the Spin-Off that render the Spin-Off impossible or impracticable.

If the Spin-Off is not completed, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the market price of our Common Stock may decline significantly, particularly to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Spin-Off will be completed. If the completion of the Spin-Off is delayed, including by the receipt of an acquisition proposal, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

The pendency of the transaction and subsequent Spin-Off could adversely affect our business, financial results and operations.

The announcement and pendency of the transaction and subsequent Spin-Off could cause disruptions and create uncertainty surrounding our business and affect our relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees.

As a result of the transaction and the Spin-Off, some customers, suppliers or strategic partners may terminate their business relationship with us or Federal-Mogul. Potential customers, suppliers or strategic partners may delay entering into, or decide not to enter into, a business relationship with us or Federal-Mogul because of the transaction and/or the Spin-Off. If customer or supplier relationships or strategic alliances are adversely affected by the transaction and/or the Spin-Off, our (and, after the Spin-Off, each separate company’s) business, financial condition and results of operations following the transaction and/or the Spin-Off could be adversely affected.

We are dependent on the experience and industry knowledge of our officers and other key employees to execute our business plans. Our success in implementing and after the transaction and the Spin-Off depends in part upon the ability to retain key management personnel and other key employees. Current and prospective employees of Tenneco and Federal-Mogul may experience uncertainty about their roles with the combined company following the transaction or either separate company following the Spin-Off, or concerns regarding operations following the transaction and/or the Spin-Off, any of which may have an adverse effect on the ability to attract or retain key management and other key personnel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we (or, after the Spin-Off, each separate company) will be able to attract or retain key management personnel and other key employees until the transaction and the Spin-Off is completed or following the transaction and the Spin-Off to the extent that we have previously been able to attract or retain such employees.

In addition, we have diverted, and will continue to divert, significant management resources to complete the transaction and the Spin-Off, which could adversely impact our ability to manage

39

existing operations or pursue alternative strategic transactions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Spin-Off may not achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits.

We may not realize some or all of the anticipated strategic, financial, operational or other benefits from the Spin-Off. As independent publicly-traded companies, the two companies will be smaller, less diversified companies with a narrower business focus. As a result, the two companies may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, which could result in increased volatility in their cash flows, working capital and financing requirements and could have a material adverse effect on the respective business, financial condition and results of operations of each company. Further, there can be no assurance that the combined value of the common stock of the two companies will be equal to or greater than what the value of our common stock would have been had the Spin-Off not occurred.

If the transaction and the Spin-Off are completed, the combined company prior to the Spin-Off and each separate company following the Spin-Off may underperform relative to our expectations.

Following completion of the transaction and the Spin-Off, the combined company or each separate company may not be able to maintain the growth rate, levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that we and Federal-Mogul have achieved or might achieve separately. The failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or, following the Spin-Off, the business, financial condition and results of operations of each separate company.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant transaction costs in connection with the transaction and the Spin-Off that could adversely affect our results of operations.

Whether or not we complete the transaction and the Spin-Off, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the transaction and the Spin-Off and integrating the business and operations of Federal-Mogul with our business and operations. We also expect we will incur fees and expenses in connection with the related financing transactions, including the debt financing and any primary offering. We may also incur additional unanticipated costs in the separation processes. These could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, or the business, financial condition and results of operations of each company following the Spin-Off, in the period in which such expenses are recorded, or the cash flows, in the period in which any related costs are actually paid.

Furthermore, we and each company following the Spin-Off may incur material restructuring charges in connection with integration activities or the Spin-Off, which may adversely affect operating results for the period in which such expenses are recorded, or cash flows in the period in which any related costs are actually paid.

The fairness opinion we obtained from our financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date of the fairness opinion.

Barclays, our financial advisor in connection with the transaction, has delivered to our board of directors its opinion dated as of April 9, 2018, that as of such date, and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the consideration to be paid to AEP pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to us. The opinion does not reflect

40

changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, including changes to the operations and prospects of Tenneco or Federal-Mogul, changes in general market and economic conditions or regulatory or other factors. Any such changes, or changes in other factors on which the opinion is based, may materially alter or affect the relative values of Tenneco or Federal-Mogul. The fairness opinion will not be updated to reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date of the fairness opinion.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements incorporated by reference in this proxy statement (the “pro forma financial statements”) are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations following the transaction.

The pro forma financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of our financial condition or results of operations following the transaction for several reasons. For example, the pro forma financial statements have been derived from our historical financial statements and the historical financial statements of Federal-Mogul, and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the combined company after giving effect to the transaction. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and such adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy.

Moreover, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred in connection with the transaction. For example, the impact of any incremental costs incurred in integrating Federal-Mogul’s business into our business is not reflected in the pro forma financial statements. As a result, our actual financial condition and results of operations following the transaction may differ significantly from these pro forma financial statements.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial statements may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations following the transaction. Any potential decline in our financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in the market value of the Common Stock following the transaction. See the section entitled “Selected Historical and Pro Forma Combined Financial Data — Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data of Tenneco” beginning on page 29.

A class action complaint has been filed, and other lawsuits may be filed, against Tenneco, our board of directors or Federal-Mogul challenging the transaction, and an adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may delay or prevent the completion of the transaction or result in an award of damages against Tenneco or Federal-Mogul.

On July 17, 2018, a putative class action complaint challenging the transaction was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware on behalf of Tenneco stockholders against Tenneco and our board of directors. The complaint asserts claims for violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act based on allegations that the proxy statement authorized by our board of directors, and filed with the SEC on June 26, 2018, failed to disclose certain, largely unspecified material facts. The complaint also asserts a control person claim under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against each member of our board of directors. The complaint seeks to enjoin Tenneco from proceeding with a stockholder vote on the issuance of the Stock Consideration.

Additional lawsuits arising out of or relating to the transaction may be filed in the future. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and could delay or prevent the

41

completion of the transaction. The existence of litigation relating to the transaction could adversely impact the likelihood of obtaining the required stockholder approvals. Moreover, the pending litigation is, and any future additional litigation could be, time consuming and expensive and could divert our management’s attention away from their regular business.

One of the conditions to completion of the transaction is the absence of any order enacted, promulgated, issued, entered, amended or enforced by any governmental entity in the United States or European Union enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transaction. Accordingly, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining a judgment prohibiting completion of the transaction, then such judgment may prevent the transaction from being completed, or from being completed within the expected time frame.

For more information about the putative class action complaint related to the transaction, see the section entitled “The Transaction—Litigation Related to the Transaction” beginning on page 93.

Risks Relating to Federal-Mogul and Federal-Mogul’s Business

Because Tenneco and Federal-Mogul operate similar businesses in similar industries, many of the risks relating to Tenneco and its business disclosed in Tenneco’s filings with the SEC are applicable to Federal-Mogul and its business as well. This section should be read in conjunction with the risks relating to Tenneco and its business disclosed in Tenneco’s filings with the SEC.

Federal-Mogul’s operations in foreign countries expose it to risks related to economic and political conditions, currency fluctuations, import/export restrictions, regulatory and other risks.

As a global business operating in a time of increasing global economic and political instability, Federal-Mogul is exposed to global market risks, the consequences of which cannot always be anticipated or quantified. One example is the 2016 decision of voters in the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union (the “Brexit”), the details of which withdrawal have yet to be clarified. While any ultimate effects of Brexit on Federal-Mogul remain difficult to predict, because it currently conducts business in the United Kingdom and in Europe, the results of any eventual withdrawal could cause disruptions and create uncertainty for Federal-Mogul’s businesses, including affecting its relationships with its customers and suppliers, and could also alter the relationship among currencies, including the value of the British Pound relative to the U.S. dollar. Such disruptions and uncertainties could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Any ultimate effects of Brexit on Federal-Mogul will also depend on whether the U.K. negotiates to retain access to European Union markets either during a transitional period or more permanently. Continued uncertainty following the failed coup attempt in Turkey, a country in which Federal-Mogul has various ownership and economic interests, in 2016 is another example of a recent global political development for which any potential consequences for Federal-Mogul are uncertain. These and other developments may increase volatility in the results of Federal-Mogul’s operations and may adversely affect its financial condition.

Federal-Mogul has manufacturing and distribution facilities in many countries. International operations are subject to certain risks including:

42

The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on Federal-Mogul are unpredictable and vary from country-to-country.

Certain of Federal-Mogul’s operating entities report their financial condition and results of operations in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (including, but not limited to, Brazilian real, British pound, Chinese yuan renminbi, Czech crown, euro, Indian rupee, Mexican peso, Polish zloty, Russian ruble, South Korean won, and Swedish krona). In reporting its consolidated statements of operations, Federal-Mogul translates the reported results of these entities into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. As a result, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies will affect the value at which the results of operations of these entities are included within Federal-Mogul’s consolidated results of operations.

Federal-Mogul is exposed to a risk of gain or loss from changes in foreign exchange rates whenever Federal-Mogul, or one of its foreign subsidiaries, enters into a purchase or sales agreement in a currency other than its functional currency. While Federal-Mogul reduces such exposure by matching most revenues and costs within the same currency, changes in exchange rates could affect Federal-Mogul’s financial condition or results of operations.

Changes in tax law or trade agreements and new or changed tariffs could have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul.

Changes in U.S. political, regulatory and economic conditions and/or changes in laws and policies governing U.S. tax laws, foreign trade (including trade agreements and tariffs), manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where Federal-Mogul or its customers operate could adversely affect its operating results and business.

For example, on December 22, 2017, the U.S. President signed into law new legislation that significantly revises the Code. The newly enacted federal income tax law, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, a one-time transition tax on offshore earnings at reduced tax rates regardless of whether the earnings are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign dividends (subject to certain important exceptions), new taxes on certain foreign earnings, a new minimum tax related to payments to foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, immediate deductions for certain new investments as opposed to deductions for depreciation expense over time, and the modification or repeal of many business deductions and credits. Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the new federal tax law is uncertain and Federal-Mogul’s financial performance could be adversely affected. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the new law and whether foreign countries will react by adopting tax legislation or take other actions that could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s business.

In addition, the United States, Mexico and Canada are currently re-negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”), from which the U.S. government has advised it will withdraw if an agreement on revised terms is not reached. The U.S. government proposed changes to NAFTA that would require automotive products to contain significantly higher North

43

American content, as well as specific U.S. domestic content, in order to obtain duty-free treatment under NAFTA. Canada offered counter-proposals, and the three countries are continuing discussions to achieve revised rules for automotive products. Federal-Mogul’s manufacturing facilities in the United States and Mexico are dependent on duty-free trade within the NAFTA region. Federal-Mogul has significant imports into the United States, and the imposition of customs duties on these imports could negatively impact its financial performance. If such customs duties are implemented, Mexico and Canada may take retaliatory actions with respect to U.S. imports or U.S. investments in their countries. Any such potential actions could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Moreover, in March 2018, the current administration imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports and a 10% tariff on aluminum imports and announced additional tariffs on goods imported from China specifically, as well as certain other countries. There was a short exemption period from the steel and aluminum tariffs for Canada, Mexico and the European Union, which ended on June 1, 2018. As a result of the tariffs, Canada, Mexico and the European Union may take retaliatory actions with respect to U.S. imports in their countries, which could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The imposition of the steel and aluminum tariffs, or any future imposition of tariffs or duties, is expected to have a pervasive impact on the metals market in which Federal-Mogul operates and could result in a decrease in imports and higher prices for those imports which are sold into the United States. If Federal-Mogul buys metals internationally, it may be unable to pass through the higher costs to its customers, which could adversely impact its financial condition and operating results. In addition, a decrease in imports could cause a disruption or shortage in the availability of the raw materials that Federal-Mogul buys, which could limit its ability to meet customer demand or purchase material at competitive prices. This could cause Federal-Mogul to lose sales, incur additional costs, or suffer harm to its reputation, all of which may adversely affect operating results.

Further, in May 2018, the current administration announced that it is considering potential tariffs to be imposed on imported automobiles and automotive parts. Certain of Federal-Mogul Motorparts’ business depends on the importation of automotive parts from outside of the United States. If these or other similar tariffs are imposed, Federal-Mogul’s business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Federal-Mogul conducts operations through joint ventures which may contain various contractual restrictions, which may require Federal-Mogul obtaining approval from its joint venture partners prior to taking certain actions.

Certain of Federal-Mogul’s operations, including in emerging markets, are conducted through joint ventures and strategic alliances. With respect to these joint ventures, Federal-Mogul may share ownership and management responsibilities with one or more partners that may not share the same goals and objectives as Federal-Mogul. Operating a joint venture requires Federal-Mogul to operate the business pursuant to the terms of the agreement that was entered into with the joint venture partners, as well as to share information and decision making. Additional risks associated with joint ventures include one or more partners failing to satisfy their contractual obligations, conflicts arising between the joint venture partners, a change in the ownership of any of the joint venture partners and Federal-Mogul’s limited ability to control compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and related rules and regulations. Additionally, Federal-Mogul’s ability to sell its interest in a joint venture may be subject to contractual and other limitations. Accordingly, any such occurrences could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

44

Impairment charges relating to Federal-Mogul’s goodwill and long lived assets could adversely affect its financial performance.

Federal-Mogul has historically been, and may in the future be, required to recognize impairment charges for its goodwill and other long lived assets. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Federal-Mogul periodically assesses these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to Federal-Mogul’s business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of these assets, changes in the structure of Federal-Mogul’s business, divestitures, market capitalization declines, or increases in associated discount rates may impair its goodwill and other intangible assets. Any charges relating to such impairments may adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s results of operations in the periods recognized.

Adverse conditions in the automotive market adversely affect demand for Federal-Mogul’s products and exposes Federal-Mogul to the credit risks of its customers.

The revenues of Federal-Mogul’s operations are closely tied to its sales to global original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) and servicers (and together with OEM, “OE”) of automotive, light, medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, off-road, agricultural, marine, rail, aerospace, power generation and industrial equipment, production levels, and independent aftermarket parts replacement activity. The OE market is characterized by short-term volatility, with overall expected long-term growth in global vehicle sales and production. Automotive production in the local markets served by Federal-Mogul can be affected by macro-economic factors such as interest rates, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment trends, regulatory and legislative oversight requirements and trade agreements. A variation in the level of automobile production would affect not only sales to OE customers but, depending on the reasons for the change, could affect demand from aftermarket customers. In addition, aftermarket demand is affected by various factors, including the size and composition of the vehicle population and vehicle usage. Federal-Mogul’s results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected if Federal-Mogul fails to respond in a timely and appropriate manner to changes in the demand for its products or if Federal-Mogul is not able to timely identify or address financial distress of its aftermarket customers.

Accounts receivable potentially subject Federal-Mogul to concentrations of credit risk. Federal-Mogul’s customer base includes virtually every significant global automotive manufacturer, numerous Tier 1 automotive suppliers, and a large number of distributors and installers of automotive aftermarket parts. Consolidation in the automotive aftermarket may lead to financial distress for financially weaker customers of Federal-Mogul which, coupled with payment terms that are typically longer than in the OE market, could have a negative effect on Federal-Mogul’s financial results.

Consolidation, increased market power, and potential conflicts with Federal-Mogul’s independent aftermarket customers could negatively affect Federal-Mogul’s financial performance.

Federal-Mogul’s independent aftermarket customers are continuing to consolidate and thereby gaining purchasing power and increasing their ability to demand extended payment terms and other pricing concessions. If these trends continue, the financial results of Federal-Mogul’s motorparts business segment could be negatively affected. In addition, certain of Federal-Mogul’s strategic initiatives, including Federal-Mogul’s strategy of supporting its branded products and new distribution channels, and enhancing its distribution and category management capabilities,

45

or Federal-Mogul’s strategic affiliation with certain competitors, may not align with the interest of customers. As a result, aftermarket customers may reduce their business with Federal-Mogul based on perceived channel conflict.

Cybersecurity risks and other cyber incidents could result in disruption.

Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow. Federal-Mogul depends on information technology systems. In addition, Federal-Mogul collects, processes and retains certain sensitive and confidential customer information in the normal course of business. Despite the security measures in place and any additional measures that may be implemented in the future, Federal-Mogul’s facilities and systems, and those of its third-party service providers, could be vulnerable to security breaches, computer viruses, lost or misplaced data, programming errors, human errors, acts of vandalism or other events. Any disruption of Federal-Mogul’s systems or security breach or event resulting in the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, whether by Federal-Mogul directly or its third-party service providers, could damage its reputation, expose it to the risks of litigation and liability, disrupt its business or otherwise affect Federal-Mogul’s results of operations.

The automotive industry is highly competitive and Federal-Mogul’s success depends upon its ability to compete effectively in the market.

Federal-Mogul operates in an extremely competitive industry, driven by global vehicle production volumes and part replacement trends. Business is typically awarded to the supplier offering the most favorable combination of cost, quality, technology, and service. In addition, customers continue to require periodic price reductions that require Federal-Mogul to continually assess, redefine and improve its operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability, and Federal-Mogul’s competitors’ efforts to increase their market share could exert additional downward pressure on product pricing and margins. Further, the success of portions of Federal-Mogul’s business requires it to develop and/or incorporate leading technologies, which are subject to rapid obsolescence. Federal-Mogul’s ability to maintain access to these technologies, either through development, acquisitions or licensing, may adversely affect its ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive automotive market. There can be no assurance Federal-Mogul will be able to compete effectively in the automotive market.

Federal-Mogul’s pension obligations and other postretirement benefits could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s operating margins and cash flows.

The automotive industry, like other industries, continues to be affected by the rising cost of providing pension and other postretirement benefits. In addition, Federal-Mogul sponsors certain defined benefit plans worldwide that are underfunded and will require cash payments. If the performance of the assets in the pension plans does not meet Federal-Mogul’s expectations, or other actuarial assumptions are modified, Federal-Mogul’s required contributions may be higher than it expects.

If Federal-Mogul loses any of its executive officers or key employees, its operations and ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected.

Federal-Mogul’s future performance substantially depends on its ability to retain and motivate executive officers and key employees, both individually and as a group. If Federal-Mogul loses

46

any of its executive officers or key employees, which have many years of experience with Federal-Mogul and within the automotive industry and other manufacturing industries, or is unable to recruit qualified personnel, Federal-Mogul’s ability to manage the day-to-day aspects of its business may be materially adversely affected. The loss of the services of one or more executive officers or key employees, who also have strong personal ties with customers and suppliers, could have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Federal-Mogul does not currently maintain “key person” life insurance.

Certain disruptions in supply of, and changes in the competitive environment for, raw materials could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s operating margins and cash flows.

Federal-Mogul purchases a broad range of materials, components and finished parts. Federal-Mogul also uses a significant amount of energy, both electricity and natural gas, in the production of its products. A significant disruption in the supply of these materials, supplies and energy or the failure of a supplier with whom Federal-Mogul has established a single source supply relationship could decrease production and shipping levels, materially increase operating costs and materially adversely affect profit margins. Shortages of materials or interruptions in transportation systems, labor strikes, work stoppages, or other interruptions to or difficulties in the employment of labor or transportation in the markets where Federal-Mogul purchases material, components, and supplies for the production of products or where the products are produced, distributed or sold, whether as a result of labor strife, war, further acts of terrorism or otherwise, in each case may adversely affect profitability.

In recent periods there have been significant fluctuations in the prices of aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, platinum, resins, steel, other base metals and energy which have had and may continue to have an unfavorable effect on Federal-Mogul’s business. Any continued fluctuations in the price or availability of energy and materials may have an adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s results of operations or financial condition. To address increased costs associated with these market forces, a number of Federal-Mogul’s suppliers have implemented surcharges on existing fixed price contracts. Without the surcharge, some suppliers claim they will be unable to provide adequate supply. Competitive and marketing pressures may limit Federal-Mogul’s ability to pass some of the supply and material cost increases on to Federal-Mogul’s customers and may prevent Federal-Mogul from doing so in the future. Furthermore, Federal-Mogul’s customers are generally not obligated to accept price increases Federal-Mogul may desire to pass along to them. This inability to pass on price increases to customers when material prices increase rapidly or to significantly higher than historic levels could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s operating margins and cash flow, possibly resulting in lower operating income and profitability.

Federal-Mogul’s hedging activities to address commodity price fluctuations may not be successful in offsetting future increases in those costs or may reduce or eliminate the benefits of any decreases in those costs.

In order to mitigate short-term variation in operating results due to the aforementioned commodity price fluctuations, Federal-Mogul hedges a portion of near-term exposure to certain raw materials used in production processes, primarily copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. The results of Federal-Mogul’s hedging practice could be positive, neutral or negative in any period depending on price changes in the hedged exposures.

Federal-Mogul’s hedging activities are not designed to mitigate long-term commodity price fluctuations and, therefore, will not protect from long-term commodity price increases. Federal-

47

Mogul’s future hedging positions may not correlate to actual raw materials costs, which would cause acceleration in the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on hedging positions in operating results.

Federal-Mogul is subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and the cost of complying or Federal-Mogul’s failure to comply with such requirements may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Federal-Mogul is subject to a variety of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations relating to the release or discharge of materials into the environment, the management, use, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous waste materials, or otherwise relating to the protection of public and employee health, safety, and the environment. These laws and regulations expose Federal-Mogul to liability for the environmental condition of its current facilities, and also may expose Federal-Mogul to liability for the conduct of others or for Federal-Mogul’s actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such actions were taken. These laws and regulations also may expose Federal-Mogul to liability for claims of personal injury or property damage related to alleged exposure to hazardous or toxic materials in foreign countries. Despite Federal-Mogul’s intention to be in compliance with all such laws and regulations, Federal-Mogul cannot guarantee that it will at all times be in compliance with all such requirements. The cost of complying with these requirements may also increase substantially in future years. If Federal-Mogul violates or fails to comply with these requirements, it could be fined or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. These requirements are complex, change frequently, and may become more stringent over time, which could have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s business.

Federal-Mogul’s failure to maintain and comply with environmental permits Federal-Mogul is required to maintain could result in fines or penalties or other sanctions and have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s operations or results. Future events, such as new environmental regulations or changes in or modified interpretations of existing laws and regulations or enforcement policies, newly discovered information or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards of products or business activities, may give rise to additional compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition, and operations.

A significant labor dispute involving Federal-Mogul or one or more of its customers or suppliers or that could otherwise affect its operations could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s financial performance.

A substantial number of Federal-Mogul’s employees and the employees of Federal-Mogul’s largest customers and suppliers are members of industrial trade unions and are employed under the terms of various labor agreements. Most of Federal-Mogul’s unionized manufacturing facilities have their own contracts with their own expiration dates. There can be no assurances that future negotiations with the unions will be resolved favorably or that Federal-Mogul will not experience a work stoppage or disruption that could adversely affect its financial condition, operating results and cash flows. A labor dispute involving Federal-Mogul, any of its customers or suppliers or any other suppliers to Federal-Mogul’s customers or that otherwise affects Federal-Mogul’s operations, or the inability by Federal-Mogul, any of its customers or suppliers or any other suppliers to Federal-Mogul’s customers to negotiate, upon the expiration of a labor agreement, an extension of such agreement or a new agreement on satisfactory terms could adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, if any of

48

Federal-Mogul’s significant customers experience a material work stoppage, the customer may halt or limit the purchase of Federal-Mogul’s products. This could require Federal-Mogul to shut down or significantly reduce production at facilities relating to such products, which could adversely affect its business and harm its profitability.

Federal-Mogul is involved from time to time in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes, which could have an adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s profitability and consolidated financial position.

Federal-Mogul is involved in legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes that, from time to time, are significant. These are typically claims that arise in the normal course of business including, without limitation, commercial or contractual disputes, including disputes with suppliers, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, tax matters and employment matters. No assurances can be given that such proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s profitability and consolidated financial position.

If Federal-Mogul is unable to protect its intellectual property and prevent its improper use by third parties, Federal-Mogul’s ability to compete in the market may be harmed.

Various patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws afford only limited protection and may not prevent Federal-Mogul’s competitors from duplicating Federal-Mogul’s products or gaining access to its proprietary information and technology. These means also may not permit Federal-Mogul to gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

Any of Federal-Mogul’s patents may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Federal-Mogul cannot guarantee it will be successful should one or more of its patents be challenged for any reason and countries outside the United States may diminish the protection of Federal-Mogul’s patents. If Federal-Mogul’s patent claims are rendered invalid or unenforceable, or narrowed in scope, the patent coverage afforded to Federal-Mogul’s products could be impaired, which could significantly impede Federal-Mogul’s ability to market its products, negatively affect its competitive position and materially adversely affect its business and results of operations.

Federal-Mogul’s pending or future patent applications may not result in an issued patent. Additionally, newly issued patents may not provide meaningful protection against competitors or against competitive technologies. Courts in the United States and in other countries may invalidate Federal-Mogul’s patents or find them unenforceable. Competitors may also be able to design around Federal-Mogul’s patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. If these developments were to occur, it could have an adverse effect on Federal-Mogul’s sales. If Federal-Mogul’s intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, Federal-Mogul may not be able to commercialize its technologies, products or services and Federal-Mogul’s competitors could commercialize Federal-Mogul’s technologies, which could result in a decrease in Federal-Mogul’s sales and market share and could materially adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

49

Federal-Mogul’s products could infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may lead to litigation that could itself be costly, could result in the payment of substantial damages or royalties, and could prevent Federal-Mogul from using technology that is essential to its products.

Federal-Mogul cannot guarantee its products, manufacturing processes or other methods do not infringe the patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Infringement and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against Federal-Mogul, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and harm Federal-Mogul’s reputation. Such claims and proceedings can also distract and divert management and key personnel from other tasks important to the success of its business. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force Federal-Mogul to do one or more of the following:

In the event of an adverse determination in an intellectual property suit or proceeding, or Federal-Mogul’s failure to license essential technology, Federal-Mogul’s sales could be harmed and its costs could increase, which could materially adversely affect Federal-Mogul’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The agreements governing Federal-Mogul’s debt contain various covenants that impose restrictions on Federal-Mogul that may affect its ability to operate its business.

In connection with the transaction, Federal-Mogul’s 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022, Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2024 and 5.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (collectively, the “Notes”) will remain outstanding. The indentures governing the Notes contain covenants that restrict Federal-Mogul’s ability to, among other things:

50

Federal-Mogul may be exposed to certain regulatory and financial risks related to climate change.

Climate change is continuing to receive ever increasing attention worldwide. Many scientists, legislators and others attribute climate change to increased levels of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, which could lead to additional legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The focus on emissions could increase costs associated with Federal-Mogul’s operations, including costs for raw materials and transportation. Because the scope of future laws in this area is uncertain, Federal-Mogul cannot predict the potential effect of such laws on its future consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

At the special meeting, Tenneco stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

56

Record Date; Stock Entitled to Vote

Only holders of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on July 31, 2018 are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting, or any postponements or adjournments thereof. On July 31, 2018, there were 51,422,522 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Stockholders have one vote for each share of Common Stock they own on the record date, which can be cast in person or through the Internet or by telephone or by a properly executed and delivered proxy with respect to the special meeting.

On July 31, 2018, our directors and executive officers and their affiliates owned and were entitled to vote 1,241,150 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 2.4% of the Common Stock outstanding on that date. We currently expect that our directors and executive officers will vote their shares in favor of each proposal, subject to no superior proposal emerging, although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so.

Voting Requirements

Proposal 1 — Adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the record date. As of the record date, there were 51,422,522 shares of Common Stock outstanding and therefore 25,711,262 votes are required for Proposal 1 to be adopted.

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is required under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and is necessary to enable Tenneco to have enough shares of non-voting common stock to issue to AEP in connection with the transaction. Accordingly, if the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not adopted by our stockholders at the special meeting, a condition to the closing of the transaction will not be satisfied and the transaction will not be consummated. If the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is adopted by our stockholders, Tenneco will have the ability to issue the remaining unissued shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock in the future.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1. If you fail to submit a proxy or attend the special meeting in person, or if you fail to issue voting instructions to your bank, broker or other record holder, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” Proposal 1.

57

Proposal 2 — Approval of the Issuance of the Stock Consideration

Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the special meeting.

Under the current rules and interpretive guidance of the NYSE, “votes cast” on Proposal 2 consist of votes “for” or “against” as well as elections to abstain from voting. As a result, a stockholder’s election to abstain from voting on Proposal 2 will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker or other record holder or any other failure of a stockholder to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve Proposal 2 because these failures to vote are not considered “votes cast.”

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” Proposal 2.

Proposal 3 — Approval of the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan

Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the special meeting.

Under the current rules and interpretive guidance of the NYSE, “votes cast” on Proposal 3 consist of votes “for” or “against” as well as elections to abstain from voting. As a result, a stockholder’s election to abstain from voting on Proposal 3 will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, the failure of a stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other record holder to give voting instructions to that bank, broker or other record holder or any other failure of a stockholder to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve Proposal 3 because these failures to vote are not considered “votes cast.”

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” Proposal 3.

Proposal 4 — Approval of the Adjournment of the Special Meeting

Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares voting on the proposal.

Any stockholder represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on Proposal 4 may elect to abstain from voting on this proposal. If so, such abstention will not be counted as a vote cast on the proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal. Provided there is a quorum of stockholders present in person or by proxy, stockholders not attending the meeting, in person or by proxy, will also have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares of Common Stock “FOR” Proposal 4.

Voting at the Special Meeting

Shares held in your name as the holder of record may be voted in person at the special meeting.

Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted in person at the special meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the bank, broker or other record holder that holds your shares of Common Stock giving you the right to vote the shares of Common Stock at the special meeting.

58

Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the special meeting.

There are three ways to vote by proxy:

If you received a proxy card in the mail but choose to vote by Internet or by telephone, you do not need to return your proxy card.

If your shares are held in “street-name” through a bank, broker or other record holder, you must provide the holder of record with instructions on how to vote the shares, so please follow the voting instructions on the form that you receive from them. The availability of telephone and Internet voting will depend on the bank’s, broker’s or other record holder’s voting process. Your bank, broker or other record holder may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion as to some of the matters to be acted upon. Therefore, please give voting instructions to your bank, broker or other record holder.

Unless you hold your shares through Tenneco’s 401(k) plan, you may vote via the Internet or by phone until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on September 11, 2018, or Tenneco’s agent must receive your paper proxy card on or before September 11, 2018. If you hold your shares through Tenneco’s 401(k) plan, you may vote via the Internet or by phone until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 9, 2018, or Tenneco’s agent must receive your paper proxy card on or before September 9, 2018.

All properly completed, unrevoked proxies that are timely received will be voted in accordance with the specifications made.

If a properly executed, unrevoked written proxy card does not specifically direct the voting of shares covered by the proxy, the proxy will be voted:
