Garrett Motion Declares Cash Dividend on Series A Preferred Stock

ROLLE, Switzerland, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Garrett Motion Inc. (Nasdaq: GTX, GTXAP), a leading differentiated automotive technology provider, today announced that the third quarter dividend for the Series A 11% PIK Preferred Stock will be made in cash and is in lieu of allowing the third quarter dividend to accrete. On September 8, 2022, the Disinterested Directors Committee of the Board of Directors of Garrett declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, which will be paid on October 3, 2022 to holders of record as of the close of business on September 23, 2022.

“Consistently generating cash even in a volatile market, has allowed Garrett to significantly deleverage as we continue to make progress toward a full capital structure normalization,” said Olivier Rabiller, Garrett President and CEO. “Now that we have fully repaid the Series B preferred stock, we are going to use cash generated by the business to pay the third quarter Series A dividend and reduce the impact of compounding interest, as well as future dilution at conversion.”
