“We also realized gains from our ownership of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). In May, FCA sold its automotive parts business, Magneti Marelli, to the holding company of Calsonic Kansei Corporation, a leading Japanese automotive component supplier, for approximately €5.8 billion ($6.54 billion). According to FCA CEO Mike Manley, the sale “recognizes the full strategic value of Magneti Marelli, improving our financial position, delivering value to our shareholders, and allowing us to enhance our focus on our core product portfolio.” Also in May, FCA executed a special dividend, paying shareholders a total of approximately €2 billion from the net proceeds of the sale—equivalent to $1.45 per share. This was considered a “special dividend” because it was paid separately from the company’s typical dividend cycle.”
