CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus which are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events. Words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance signify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and estimates, which are subject to risks and uncertainties including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this prospectus. We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the statement is made and qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

  •  increases in commodity costs or disruptions in the supply of commodities, including steel, resins, aluminum, copper, fuel and natural gas;
 
  •  our ability to generate cost savings to offset or exceed agreed upon price reductions or price reductions to win additional business and, in general, improve operating performance; to achieve the benefits of restructuring actions; and to recover engineering and tooling costs and capital investments;
 
  •  our ability to compete favorably with automotive parts suppliers with lower cost structures and greater ability to rationalize operations; and to exit non-performing businesses on satisfactory terms, particularly due to limited flexibility under existing labor agreements;
 
  •  restrictions in labor contracts with unions that restrict our ability to close plants, divest unprofitable, noncompetitive businesses, change local work rules and practices at a number of facilities and implement cost-saving measures;
 
  •  the costs and timing of facility closures or dispositions, business or product realignments, or similar restructuring actions, including potential asset impairment or other charges related to the implementation of these actions or other adverse industry conditions and contingent liabilities;
 
  •  significant changes in the competitive environment in the major markets where we procure materials, components or supplies or where our products are manufactured, distributed or sold;

  •  the cyclical and seasonal nature of the automotive industry;
 
  •  our ability to comply with environmental, safety and other applicable regulations and any increase in the requirements, responsibilities and associated expenses and expenditures of these regulations;
 
  •  our ability to protect our intellectual property rights, and to respond to changes in technology and technological risks and to claims by others that we have infringed their intellectual property rights;
 
  •  our ability to quickly and adequately remediate control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting; and
 
  •  other factors, risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It does not contain all the information that may be important to you in making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the documents incorporated by reference, which are described under “Incorporation by Reference of Certain Documents” and “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” You should also carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.” In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Visteon,” “the Company,” “the Issuer,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Visteon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to our “common stock” refer to the common stock of Visteon Corporation.
 
Our Business
 
We are a leading global supplier of climate, interiors and electronics systems, modules and components to global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). We are headquartered in Van Buren Township, Michigan. We have a workforce of approximately 26,500 employees and a network of manufacturing operations, technical centers, customer service centers and joint ventures in every major geographic region of the world. We were incorporated in Delaware on January 5, 2000 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (“Ford”). Subsequently, Ford transferred the assets and liabilities comprising its automotive components and systems business to us. We separated from Ford on June 28, 2000 when all of our common stock was distributed by Ford to its stockholders.
 
In September 2005, we transferred 23 of our North American facilities and certain other related assets and liabilities (the “ACH Business”) to Automotive Components Holdings, LLC (“ACH”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Visteon. On October 1, 2005, we sold ACH to Ford for cash proceeds of approximately $300 million, as well as the forgiveness of certain other postretirement employee benefit liabilities and other obligations relating to hourly employees associated with the ACH Business and the assumption of certain other liabilities. The transferred facilities included all of our plants that leased hourly workers covered by Ford’s Master Agreement with the United Auto Workers Union. The ACH Business accounted for approximately $6.1 billion of the Company’s total product sales for 2005, the majority being products sold to Ford.
 
In January 2006, we announced a multi-year improvement plan that involved the restructuring of certain underperforming and non-strategic plants and businesses to improve operating and financial performance and to reduce costs. The multi-year improvement plan, which was initially expected to affect up to 23 facilities, was completed during 2008 and addressed a total of 30 facilities and businesses, including 7 divestitures and 14 closures. These activities resulted in sales declines of $1 billion and $675 million during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
During 2008, weakened economic conditions, largely attributable to the global credit crisis, and erosion of consumer confidence, negatively impacted the automotive sector on a global basis. Significant factors including the deterioration of housing values, rising fuel prices, equity market volatility and rising unemployment levels resulted in consumers delaying purchases of durable goods, particularly highly deliberated purchases such as automobiles. Additionally, the absence of available credit hindered vehicle affordability, forcing consumers out of the market globally. Together these factors combined to drive a severe decline in demand for automobiles across substantially all geographies. Despite actions taken to reduce our operating costs in 2008, the rate of such reductions did not keep pace with that of the rapidly deteriorating market conditions and related decline in OEM production volumes, which resulted in significant operating losses and cash flow usage, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2008.
 
On May 28, 2009, we filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Chapter 11 cases were jointly administered under the caption Visteon Corporation, et al., Case No. 09-11786. We continued to operate our businesses as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
On August 31, 2010, we filed a Fifth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on August 31, 2010

Table of Contents

(the “Confirmation Order”), and became effective on October 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), the date on which we emerged from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
Fresh Start Accounting
 
As of the Effective Date, we adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The actual impact at emergence on October 1, 2010 will be reported in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010. The consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and prior do not include the effect of any changes in our capital structure or changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities as a result of fresh start accounting. As a result of the fresh start accounting adjustments governed by GAAP, we anticipate a significant increase in intangible assets.
 
The financial information incorporated by reference herein, unless otherwise expressly set forth or as the context otherwise indicates, reflects our historical consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods presented. That historical financial information does not reflect, among other things, any effects of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or any fresh start accounting, which we adopted upon our emergence from protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, such financial information will not be representative of our performance or financial condition after the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization.

Our principal executive offices are located at One Village Center Drive, Van Buren Township, Michigan 48111. Our telephone number is (800) 847-8366 and we have a website accessible at www.visteon.com.

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our common stock involves risk. If any of the risks described below or in any document incorporated by reference herein actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and an investor in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment. You should consider carefully all of the information set forth in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, and, in particular, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks described in any document incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones we face, but are considered to be the most material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
 
Risks Related to Fresh Start Accounting
 
Information contained in our historical financial statements will not be comparable to the information contained in our financial statements after the application of fresh start accounting.
 
Following the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, our financial condition and results of operations from and after the Effective Date will not be comparable to the financial condition or results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements.
 
As a result of our restructuring under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, our financial statements will be subject to fresh start accounting as prescribed by GAAP, in which our assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests will be recorded at their estimated fair value using the principles of purchase accounting. Goodwill, if any, will result if the reorganization value of Visteon exceeds the net total of the fair value of its assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests. Adjustments to the carrying amounts could be material and could affect prospective results of operations as balance sheet items are settled, depreciated, amortized or impaired.
 
This will make it difficult for stockholders to assess our performance in relation to prior periods. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 will reflect the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the adoption of fresh start accounting.
 
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
 
The resale of shares of our common stock offered may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and substantial sales of or trading in our new common stock could occur in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, which could cause our stock price to be adversely affected.
 
At the time of our emergence from bankruptcy, we granted registration rights to the selling stockholders. The shares of our outstanding common stock held by the selling stockholders and offered are registered for resale under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The shares offered hereby constitutes approximately 93.4% of our outstanding common stock as of December 1, 2010, all of which may be sold in the public markets from time to time pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
 
Commencing on April 1, 2011, assuming we remain current in our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and commencing on October 1, 2011, if we do not, these shares of common stock may also be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, subject in the case of holders that are affiliates to restrictions on volume and manner of sale.
 
On October 1, 2010 we issued 3,497,520 shares of new common stock to holders of our previously outstanding common stock and holders of certain of our debt securities. These shares of new common stock are freely tradable and may be sold in the public markets from time to time.
 
Some of our creditors or other investors who receive shares of our new common stock in connection with our Plan of Reorganization may sell the shares of new common stock shortly after emergence from bankruptcy for any number of reasons. The sale of significant amounts of our new common stock or substantial trading in our new common stock or the perception in the market that substantial trading in our new common stock will occur may adversely affect the market price of our new common stock.

Table of Contents

The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.
 
Since our emergence from bankruptcy, there has been a low volume of trading in our common stock. We can give no assurance that there will be greater liquidity in the trading market for our common stock in the future. If there is limited liquidity in the trading market for our common stock, a sale of a large number of shares of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
Numerous factors, including many over which we have no control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. These risks include those described or referred to in this “Risk Factors” section and in the other documents incorporated herein by reference as well as, among other things:
 
  •  our operating and financial performance and prospects;
 
  •  our ability to repay our debt;
 
  •  our access to financial and capital markets to refinance our debt or replace the existing credit facilities;
 
  •  investor perceptions of us and the industry and markets in which we operate;
 
  •  our dividend policy;
 
  •  future sales of equity or equity-related securities;
 
  •  changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by analysts; and
 
  •  general financial, domestic, economic and other market conditions.
 
Certain provisions of our corporate documents and the laws of the State of Delaware as well as change of control provisions in our debt and other agreements could delay or prevent a change of control, even if that change would be beneficial to stockholders, or could have a material negative impact on our business.
 
Certain provisions in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and credit facility agreements may have the effect of deterring transactions involving a change in control of us, including transactions in which stockholders might receive a premium for their shares.
 
Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. The authorization of preferred shares empowers our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, to issue preferred shares with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. If issued, the preferred stock could also dilute the holders of our common stock and could be used to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control.
 
If the common stock is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders, we will be subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control in some circumstances.
 
Our credit facility agreements contain provisions pursuant to which it is an event of default if any “person” or “group of persons” becomes the beneficial owner of more than 51% of our common stock. This could deter certain parties from seeking to acquire us and if any “person” or “group of persons” were to become the beneficial owner of more than 51% of our common stock, we would not be able to repay such indebtedness.
 
All of these factors could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
We have not paid dividends on our common stock since 2004 and do not currently anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The terms of our credit facility restrict our ability to pay cash dividends on our common stock and repurchase shares of our common stock.

Table of Contents

Our operations may be restricted by the terms of our exit financing pursuant to credit facility agreements.
 
Our credit facility agreements include a number of significant restrictive covenants. These covenants could impair our financing and operational flexibility and make it difficult for us to react to market conditions and satisfy our ongoing capital needs and unanticipated cash requirements. Specifically, such covenants may restrict our ability and, if applicable, the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:
 
  •  incur additional debt;
 
  •  make certain investments;
 
  •  enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;
 
  •  limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries to us;
 
  •  use assets as security in other transactions;
 
  •  pay dividends on our new common stock or repurchase our equity interests;
 
  •  sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies;
 
  •  guarantee the debts of others;
 
  •  enter into new lines of business;
 
  •  make capital expenditures;
 
  •  prepay, redeem or exchange our debt; and
 
  •  form any joint ventures or subsidiary investments.
 
In addition, our credit facility agreements require us to periodically meet various financial ratios and tests, including maximum capital expenditure, maximum leverage, minimum excess availability and minimum interest coverage levels. These financial covenants and tests could limit our ability to react to market conditions or satisfy extraordinary capital needs and could otherwise restrict our financing and operations.
 
Our ability to comply with the covenants and other terms of our credit facility agreements will depend on our future operating performance. If we fail to comply with such covenants and terms, we would be required to obtain waivers from our lenders to maintain compliance under such agreements. If we are unable to obtain any necessary waivers and the debt under our credit facility agreements is accelerated, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future operating performance.
 
Our emergence from bankruptcy will reduce or eliminate our U.S. net operating losses and other tax attributes and limit our ability to offset future U.S. taxable income with tax losses and credits incurred prior to our emergence from bankruptcy.
 
The discharge of a debt obligation by a taxpayer in a bankruptcy proceeding for an amount less than its adjusted issue price (as defined for tax purposes) generally creates cancellation of indebtedness income, or COD income, that is excludable from a taxpayer’s taxable income. However certain tax attributes otherwise available and of value to a debtor will be reduced to the extent of the excludable COD income. Additionally, Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide an annual limitation with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its tax attributes, as well as certain built-in-losses, against future U.S. taxable income in the event of a change in ownership. As a result of our emergence from bankruptcy we expect to have excludable COD income that will reduce our U.S. net operating losses and other tax attributes and we expect a limitation under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 as a result of an ownership change.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information (the “Pro Forma Financial Information”) sets forth selected historical consolidated financial information for Visteon Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The historical data provided as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 are derived from our unaudited quarterly and audited annual consolidated financial statements which have been incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
 
The Pro Forma Financial Information is provided for informational and illustrative purposes only and should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 which have been incorporated by reference into this prospectus. In addition, our historical financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of reorganized Visteon following emergence from bankruptcy due to the effects of the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization as well as adjustments for fresh start accounting.
 
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared as if the adjustments and transactions described above occurred on January 1, 2009 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and on September 30, 2010 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. Each of these adjustments is more fully described below and within the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information.
 
  •  Reorganization adjustments give effect to the Plan of Reorganization and the transactions contemplated therein.
 
  •  Fresh start adjustments reflect the adoption of fresh-start accounting, in accordance with GAAP.
 
Reorganization Adjustments
 
The Reorganization adjustments included in the Pro Forma Financial Information give effect to the Plan of Reorganization and the transactions contemplated therein, including the discharge of administrative claims, estimated claims allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, and reorganized Visteon’s recapitalization upon emergence from Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. These adjustments include:
 
  •  the cancellation of any shares of old common stock and any options, warrants or rights to purchase shares of old common stock or other equity securities outstanding prior to the Effective Date;
 
  •  the issuance of approximately 50,200,000 new shares of common stock (excluding any shares that may be issued upon the exercise of warrants), including the following:
 
  •  approximately 45,000,000 shares of new common stock to certain investors in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act for proceeds of $1.25 billion;
 
  •  approximately 2,500,000 shares of new common stock to holders of pre-petition notes, including 7% Senior Notes due 2014, 8.25% Senior Notes due 2010 and 12.25% Senior Notes due 2016;
 
  •  approximately 1,700,000 shares of new common stock pursuant to a post-emergence management equity incentive program; and
 
  •  approximately 1,000,000 shares of new common stock to holders of old common stock;
 
  •  the execution of an exit financing facility including $500 million in funded, secured term debt and a $200 million asset-based, secured revolving credit facility undrawn at the Effective Date; and
 
  •  the application of proceeds from such borrowings and sales of equity along with cash on hand to make settlement distributions contemplated under the Plan of Reorganization.
 
The Pro Forma Financial Information excludes the estimated gain of approximately $1.0 billion resulting from the settlement of pre-petition obligations pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization as such gain is non-recurring. For

additional information regarding the “Reorganization Adjustments” see the related notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information.
 
Fresh Start Adjustments
 
Fresh start adjustments result in the allocation of reorganization value to the fair value of assets as of the Effective Date. Under fresh start accounting, reorganization value is allocated to the fair value of assets in accordance with GAAP and is generally allocated first to tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and lastly to excess reorganization value (i.e. goodwill). Reorganization value includes an estimated enterprise value of approximately $2.4 billion, which represents our best estimate of fair value within the range of enterprise values contemplated by the Bankruptcy Court of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion.
 
The range of enterprise values considered by the Court was determined using certain financial analysis methodologies including the comparable companies analysis, the precedent transactions analysis and the discounted cash flow analysis. The application of these methodologies requires certain key judgments and assumptions, including our financial projections, the amount of cash available to fund operations and current market conditions.
 
Comparable Companies Analysis
 
The comparable companies analysis estimates the value of a company based on a comparison of such company’s financial statistics with the financial statistics of publicly-traded companies with similar characteristics. Criteria for selecting comparable companies for this analysis included, among other relevant characteristics, similar lines of business, geographic presence, business risks, growth prospects, maturity of businesses, market presence, size and scale of operations. The comparable companies analysis established benchmarks for valuation by deriving financial multiples and ratios for the comparable companies, standardized using common metrics of (i) EBITDAP (Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Amortization and Pension Expense) and (ii) EBITDAP minus capital expenditures. EBITDAP based metrics were utilized to ensure that the analysis allowed for valuation comparability between companies which sponsor pensions and those that do not. The calculated range of multiples for the comparable companies was used to estimate a range which was applied to our projected EBITDAP and projected EBITDAP minus capital expenditures to determine a range of enterprise values. The multiples ranged from 4.6 to 7.8 depending on the comparable company for EBITDAP and from 6.1 to 14.6 for EBITDAP minus capital expenditures. Because the multiples derived excluded pension expense, the analysis further deducted an estimated amount of pension underfunding totaling $455 million from the resulting enterprise value.
 
Precedent Transactions Analysis
 
The precedent transactions analysis is based on the enterprise values of companies involved in public or private merger and acquisition transactions that have operating and financial characteristics similar to us. Under this methodology, the enterprise value of such companies is determined by an analysis of the consideration paid and the debt assumed in the merger, acquisition or restructuring transaction. As in a comparable companies valuation analysis, the precedent transactions analysis establishes benchmarks for valuation by deriving financial multiples and ratios, standardized using common variables such as revenue or EBITDA. In performing the precedent transactions analysis an EBITDAP metric was not able to be used due to the unavailability of pension expense information for the transactions analyzed. Therefore, the precedent transactions analysis relied on derived EBITDA multiples, which were then applied to our operating statistics to determine enterprise value. Different than the comparable companies analysis in that the EBITDA metric is already burdened by pension, the precedent transactions analysis did not need to separately deduct pension underfunding in order to calculate enterprise value. The calculated multiples used to estimate a range of enterprise values for the Company ranged from 4.0 to 7.1 depending on the transaction.
 
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
 
The discounted cash flow analysis estimates the value of a business by calculating the present value of expected future cash flows to be generated by such business. This analysis discounts the expected cash flows by an

Table of Contents

estimated discount rate. This approach has three components: (i) calculating the present value of the projected unlevered after-tax free cash flows for a determined period of time, (ii) adding the present value of the terminal value of the cash flows and (iii) subtracting the present value of projected pension payments in excess of the terminal year pension expense through 2017 due to the underfunded status of such pension plans. These calculations were performed on unlevered after-tax free cash flows, using an estimated tax rate of 35% for the period beginning July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2013 (the “Projection Period”), discounted to the assumed effective date of June 30, 2010.
 
The discounted cash flow analysis was based on our financial projections as included in the Fourth Amended Disclosure Statement (the “Financial Projections”) and included assumptions for the weighted average cost of capital (the “Discount Rate”), which was used to calculate the present value of future cash flows and a perpetuity growth rate for the future cash flows, which was used to determine the enterprise value represented by the time period beyond the Projection Period. The Discount Rate was calculated using the capital asset pricing model resulting in Discount Rates ranging from 14% to 16%, which reflects a number of Company and market-specific factors. The perpetuity growth rate was calculated using the perpetuity growth rate method resulting in a perpetuity growth rate for free cash flow of 0% to 2%. Projected pension payments were discounted on a similar basis at the overall discounted cash flow Discount Rate range.
 
Other Considerations
 
Our estimate of the enterprise value was based upon an equally weighted average of the values resulting from the comparable companies, precedent transactions and discounted cash flow analyses discussed above. This estimated enterprise value was further adjusted for factors that would impact our cash and/or debt levels, including the estimated value of our non-consolidated joint ventures, the estimated value of non-controlling interests in the Visteon enterprise and estimated amounts of available cash (i.e. cash in excess of estimated minimum operating requirements).
 
  •  The value of our non-consolidated joint ventures was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis of the dividends projected to be received from these operations and also includes a terminal value based on the perpetuity growth method, where the dividend is assumed to continue into perpetuity at an assumed growth rate. This discounted cash flow analysis utilized a discount rate based on the cost of equity range of 13% to 21% and a perpetuity growth rate after 2013 of 2% to 4%. Application of this valuation methodology resulted in an estimated value of our non-consolidated joint ventures of $195 million, which was incremental to the estimated enterprise value.
 
  •  To calculate the value of non-controlling interests, estimated at $424 million, we relied on closing prices of the respective publicly-traded stock as of April 28, 2010 and converted such prices into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at that date. The estimated value of non-controlling interests was deducted from the estimated enterprise value.
 
  •  Projected global cash balances were utilized to determine the estimated amount of available cash of $242 million, which was incremental to the estimated enterprise value. Amounts of cash expected to be used for settlements under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization and the estimated minimum level of cash required for ongoing operations were deducted from total projected cash to arrive at an amount of remaining or available cash.
 
The value of a business is subject to uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in factors affecting the prospects of such a business. As a result, the estimates set forth herein are not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those set forth herein. These estimates assume that we will continue as the owner and operator of our businesses and related assets and that such businesses and assets will be operated in accordance with the business plan, which is the basis for our Financial Projections. Our Financial Projections are based on projected market conditions in each of our respective markets and other estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, general business, economic, competitive, regulatory, market and financial conditions, all of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the Company’s control. Depending on the actual results of such factors, our operations or changes in financial markets, these valuation estimates may differ significantly from that disclosed herein.

Reorganization Value
 
The estimated enterprise value, after adjusting for the estimated fair values of liabilities and debt, is intended to approximate the reorganization value, or the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets of the company immediately after restructuring. Under fresh start accounting, reorganization value is allocated to our assets based on their respective fair values in conformity with the purchase method of accounting for business combinations under GAAP.
 
Fair value estimates included in the Pro Forma Financial Information represent preliminary values and have been made solely for the purpose of developing the Pro Forma Financial Information included herein and are subject to further revisions and adjustments. Updates to such preliminary values will be completed in the periods subsequent to those reported in this prospectus and will be calculated as of our actual emergence date of October 1, 2010 and, to the extent such updates reflect a valuation different than those used in the Pro Forma Financial Information, there may be adjustments in the carrying values of certain assets and liabilities and related deferred taxes. To the extent actual valuations differ from those used in preparing the Pro Forma Financial Information, these differences will be reflected in our consolidated balance sheet upon emergence under fresh start accounting and may also affect our results of operations post-emergence from bankruptcy. As such, the following Pro Forma Financial Information is not intended to represent actual post-emergence financial condition or results of operations, and any differences could be material.
 
The Pro Forma Financial Information excludes certain non-recurring amounts that we expect to incur following the effective date of emergence, including approximately $30 million related to the valuation step-up of inventory and certain post-emergence bankruptcy-related professional fees. For additional information regarding the “Fresh Start Adjustments” see the related notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information.
 
Pro Forma Financial Information
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is presented as of September 30, 2010 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The following Pro Forma Financial Information was prepared by applying adjustments to historical consolidated financial statements. These adjustments give effect to the Plan of Reorganization and fresh start accounting, reflecting our post-emergence financial statements as if the emergence date had occurred on January 1, 2009 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations and on September 30, 2010 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
The Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what reorganized Visteon’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Plan of Reorganization become effective or had the other transactions described above occurred on January 1, 2009 or on September 30, 2010, as the case may be. In addition, the dollar amount of new equity and stockholders’ equity on the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is not an estimate of the market value of the common stock or any other shares of capital stock of reorganized Visteon as of the Effective Date or at any other time. We make no representations as to the market value, if any, of the common stock or of any other shares of capital stock of reorganized Visteon.

In connection with the Plan of Reorganization, the Company settled certain OPEB obligations and ceased to provide such benefits. The adjustment above eliminates the net benefit associated with such settlements from the historical financial results. Additionally, the historical financial results have been adjusted to reflect new management incentive compensation arrangements as contemplated under the Plan of Reorganization, including share-based compensation granted in connection with the Management Equity Incentive Program.

(d) This adjustment reflects changes in interest expense associated with the post-emergence capital structure contemplated under the Plan of Reorganization, which includes a $500 million term loan and a $200 million asset-based secured revolving credit facility undrawn at the Effective Date. These changes result in a net decrease of $128 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and a net decrease of $55 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, as shown below:

The expected interest rate on the post-emergence secured term loan is the London Interbank Borrowing Rate (“LIBOR”), not less than 1.75%, plus a margin of 6.25%. The Company estimates its weighted average interest rate will be approximately 8% based on current LIBOR rates. A one percent increase or decrease on the expected weighted average interest rate would increase or decrease interest expense on the post-emergence debt by $5 million.
 
The Company estimates debt issuance costs to be approximately $12 million, fees paid to the lenders to be approximately $12 million and original issuance discount to be approximately $10 million. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the remaining life of the respective debt instrument.

Fresh Start Adjustments
 
(l) Fresh start adjustments reflect the adoption of fresh start accounting in accordance with GAAP and serves to record assets and liabilities of reorganized Visteon at their respective fair values, as follows:
 
Inventory is recorded at fair value, which is estimated to exceed book value by approximately $30 million.
 
The adjustment to other current assets includes an $8 million prepaid insurance balance that relates to a policy with no future benefit to reorganized Visteon and therefore has no fair value and other deferred fee amounts.


19


Table of Contents

 
Property and equipment are recorded at fair value. The Company estimates that the book value of property and equipment exceeds the fair value by $202 million.
 
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates are recorded at fair value. In adjusting such investments to fair value, the Company estimates that investments in non-consolidated affiliates approximate their carrying value.
 
Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are estimated to increase by $467 million. Intangible assets are primarily comprised of developed technology and customer-related assets. These intangibles are amortized over estimated useful lives of 8-20 years. Reorganization value for amounts in excess of the value allocated to identifiable tangible and intangible assets is recorded as goodwill. In adjusting the balance sheet accounts to fair value, the Company estimates an excess reorganization value of approximately $2 million, which has been reflected as goodwill.
 
The adjustments to accrued employee liabilities and employee benefits are related to the remeasurement of pension and OPEB obligations at the Effective Date, based on certain assumptions including discount rates.
 
The adjustments to other current and other non-current liabilities include decreases of $51 million and $31 million, respectively, to eliminate deferred revenue. The decrease in other non-current liabilities was partially offset by $7 million related to leasehold intangibles.
 
Noncontrolling interests are recorded at fair value. The Company estimates that the fair value of noncontrolling interests exceeds book value by $308 million.
 
(m) Deferred tax impacts associated with the fresh start adjustments result from changes in the book values of tangible and intangible assets while the tax basis in such assets remains unchanged. The Company anticipates that a full valuation allowance will be maintained in the U.S., accordingly this adjustment relates to the portion of the fresh start adjustments applicable to certain non-U.S. jurisdictions where the Company is subject to and pays income taxes. Deferred tax adjustments include the following:

Other non-current assets

Deferred income taxes

Table of Contents

 
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following table sets forth information as of December 1, 2010 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock (1) immediately prior to this offering and (2) as adjusted to give effect to this offering by the selling stockholders.
 
In connection with our Plan of Reorganization, we have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act, of which this prospectus forms a part, to register resales of certain shares of common stock that we issued in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.
 
The common stock is being registered to permit public sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may offer the common stock for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell any of the common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus.
 
All information with respect to common stock ownership has been furnished by or on behalf of the selling stockholders and is as of December 1, 2010. We believe, based on information supplied by the selling stockholders and subject to community property laws where applicable, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each selling stockholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the common stock reported as beneficially owned by it. Because the selling stockholders may sell all, part or none of the common stock held by them, no estimates can be given as to the number of shares of common stock that a selling stockholder will hold upon termination of any offering made hereby. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the common stock held by them in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set forth on the table below. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering, none of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholders.
 
The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by them as of December 1, 2010, the number of shares of common stock being offered by them, the number of shares of common stock each selling stockholder will beneficially own if the stockholder sells all of the common stock being registered and each selling stockholder’s percentage beneficial ownership of our total outstanding common stock if all of the common stock in the offering is sold. As used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the successors-in-interest, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling stockholders’ interests.
 
Except as provided in the footnotes to the following table and the section titled “Related Party Transactions and Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders”, none of the selling stockholders has had any position with, held any office of or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years.
 
Beneficial ownership for the purposes of this table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 1, 2010 is deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options. These shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 50,254,472 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 1, 2010. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder.
 
All percentages and share amounts are approximate based on current information available to us. The information available to us may be incomplete.

Upon Visteon becoming a well-known seasoned issuer, we are required to promptly register the sale of all of the registrable securities under an automatic shelf registration statement, and to cause such registration statement to remain effective thereafter until there are no longer registrable securities.
 
The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as minimums, blackout periods and, if a registration is for an underwritten offering, limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering may be imposed by the managing underwriter.

Table of Contents

 
Common Stock
 
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future.
 
Dividend Rights.  Subject to limitations under Delaware law, preferences that may apply to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, and contractual restrictions, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably dividends or other distributions when and if declared by the board of directors. In addition to such restrictions, whether any future dividends are paid will depend on decisions that will be made by the board of directors and will depend on then existing conditions, including our financial condition, contractual restrictions, corporate law restrictions, capital requirements and business prospects. The ability of the board of directors to declare dividends also will be subject to the rights of any holders of outstanding shares of our preferred stock and the availability of sufficient funds under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) to pay dividends.
 
Liquidation Rights.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Visteon, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share in the net assets of Visteon available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock.
 
Preemptive Rights.  Pursuant to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights.
 
Conversion Rights.  Shares of our common stock are not convertible.
 
Voting Rights.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our preferred stock, each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of our common stock will not have cumulative voting rights.
 
Warrants to Purchase Common Stock
 
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, we issued warrants to purchase 2,355,000 shares of our common stock to holders of our 12.25% senior notes issued (the “Ten Year Warrants”). The Ten Year Warrants have an exercise price of $9.66 per share of common stock. Each of the Ten Year Warrants expires ten years after the date of issuance. The warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of common stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities. The Ten Year Warrants are not redeemable.
 
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, we issued 1,552,774 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to holders of shares of our previously outstanding common stock, which were cancelled pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization (the “Five Year Warrants”). The Five Year Warrants have an exercise price of $58.80 per share. Each of the Five Year Warrants expires five years after the date of issuance. The Five Year Warrants provide for a cashless exercise by the warrant holder. The warrant exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events including: stock subdivisions, combinations, splits, stock dividends, capital reorganizations, or capital reclassifications of common stock and in connection with certain distributions of cash, assets or securities. The Five Year Warrants are not redeemable.
 
Preferred Stock
 
Under the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. If the board of directors decides to issue


41


Table of Contents

shares of preferred stock to persons supportive of current management, this could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Visteon by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. Authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Visteon. To the extent required by 11 U.S.C. § 1123(a)(6), Visteon is prohibited from issuing shares of nonvoting equity securities (within the meaning of such statute).
 
Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Delaware Law
 
Provisions of Delaware Law.  Visteon is a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 provides that, subject to certain exceptions specified in the law, a Delaware corporation shall not engage in certain “business combinations” with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder unless:
 
  •  prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
  •  upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding certain shares; or
 
  •  at or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 662/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.
 
Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years did own, 15% or more of the voting stock of the corporation.
 
Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. The provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring Visteon to negotiate in advance with our board of directors because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if our board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
 
Board of Directors.  Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be fixed by the board of directors from time to time. The board of directors shall initially consist of the nine members identified in the Plan of Reorganization and shall always consist of not less than 3 nor more than 15 members. Under our second amended and restated bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Under our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws, a vote of a majority of all then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote at an election of directors is required to remove a director with or without cause and fill the resulting vacancy, except that any director elected separately by the holders of any class or series of stock shall be subject to removal with or without cause at any time by such stockholders, who will fill the resulting vacancy. Vacancies resulting from newly created directorships by reason of an increase in the size of the board of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors, provided a quorum is present. Further, vacancies resulting from reasons other than removal or an increase in the size of the board of directors shall be filled by a majority vote of the board of directors, even if less than a quorum. These provisions may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by this removal with its own nominees.
 
Advance Notice Procedures.  Our second amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before a meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at a meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of


42


Table of Contents

directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our corporate secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our second amended and restated bylaws will not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our second amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.
 
Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws provide that, except as otherwise required by law, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by our chairman of the board, our chief executive officer, pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors or by our secretary following receipt of one or more demands to call a special meeting of the stockholders, in accordance with the provisions of our second amended and restated bylaws, from stockholders who hold, in the aggregate, at least twenty percent of the voting power of all shares entitled generally to on the election of directors (without reference to any terms of any preferred stock).
 
Authorized but Unissued Shares.  Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or similar rules. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
 
Limitations on Directors’ and Officers’ Liability.  Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of our directors to Visteon or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our second amended and restated bylaws also contain provisions generally providing for indemnification and prepayment of expenses to our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes the board of directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal most provisions of our second amended and restated bylaws by a majority vote. The stockholders may also adopt, amend, alter or repeal our second amended and restated bylaws. Stockholder approval is also required to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws inconsistent with any provision in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our second amended and restated bylaws that requires a particular vote of stockholders in order to take the action specified in such provision.
 
Tax Benefit Preservation.  Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, subject to certain exceptions therein, that any attempted transfer of Visteon’s securities prior to the earliest of:
 
  •  December 31, 2019,
 
  •  the repeal, amendment or modification of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”) in such a way as to render the restrictions imposed by Section 382 no longer applicable to Visteon,
 
  •  the beginning of a taxable year of Visteon in which no net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers and foreign tax credit carryovers or any loss or deduction attributable to a net realized “built-in loss” within the meaning of Section 382 of Visteon or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries (“Tax Benefits”) are available, and


43


Table of Contents

 
  •  the date on which the limitation amount imposed by Section 382 in the event of an ownership change of Visteon would not be materially less than the net operating loss carry forward or net unrealized built-in loss of Visteon (the earliest of such dates being the “Restriction Release Date”), or
 
any attempted transfer of Visteon’s securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Restriction Release Date, shall be prohibited and void ab initio insofar as it purports to transfer ownership or rights in respect of such stock to the purported transferee:
 
  •  if the transferor is a person or group of persons that is identified as a “5-percent shareholder” of Visteon pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(g) other than a “direct public group” as defined in such regulation (a “Five-Percent Stockholder”), or
 
  •  to the extent that, as a result of such transfer, either any person or group of persons shall become a Five-Percent Stockholder or the percentage stock ownership interest in Visteon of any Five-Percent Stockholder shall be increased.
 
These restrictions could prohibit or delay the accomplishment of an ownership change with respect to Visteon by (i) discouraging any person or group from being a Five-Percent Stockholder and (ii) discouraging any existing Five-Percent Stockholder from acquiring more than a minimal number of additional shares of Visteon’s stock.
 
Business Opportunities.  In recognition that our investors and their officers, directors, agents, stockholders, members, partners, affiliates and subsidiaries may serve as our directors and/or officers and that our investors may engage in similar activities or lines of business that we do, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the allocation of certain business opportunities between us and our investors. Specifically, none of our investors or any officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of an investor has any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for itself and us, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity, and the investor will not have any duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to us and may pursue or acquire such business opportunity for itself or direct such opportunity to another person. In addition, if a director or officer of us who is also an officer, director, agent, stockholder, member, partner or affiliate of any investor acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a business opportunity for us and an investor, we will not have any expectancy in such business opportunity unless such business opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of us.
 
No such person shall be liable to Visteon or any of its subsidiaries for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to Visteon or its subsidiaries.
 
These provisions of our certificate of incorporation are permitted by Section 122 of the DGCL, and, accordingly, we and all of our stockholders will be subject to them.
 
Transactions with Interested Directors or Officers.  In recognition that we may engage in material business transactions with one or more of our directors or officers, an entity in which one or more of our directors or officers are its directors or officers or have a financial interest, our second amended and restated bylaws provide that such a contract or transaction will not be void or voidable solely because a director or officer is interested, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because such person’s votes are counted for such purpose if:
 
  •  the material facts as to such person’s or persons’ relations or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors, even though the number of disinterested directors may be less than a quorum; or
 
  •  the material facts as to such person’s or person’s relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or


44


Table of Contents

 
  •  the contract or transaction is fair as to us as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
Mellon Investor Services LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.
 
Listing of Our Common Stock
 
Currently, our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “VSTO.OB”.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our common stock prevailing from time to time.
 
Sale of Restricted Shares
 
As of December 1, 2010, we had 50,254,472 shares of common stock outstanding, 45,145,000 shares of which constitute “restricted securities” as defined by rule 144 (“Rule 144”) under the Securities Act and, as a result, cannot be sold or transferred except in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements. Except as set forth below, all shares of our common stock sold pursuant to this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless held by one of our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144. Unless otherwise registered under the Securities Act, sales of shares of our common stock by affiliates will be subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144.
 
Common Stock and Warrants Issued in Reliance on Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code
 
We relied on section 1145(a)(1) and (2) of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act the offer and sale of a portion of our common stock, as well as the Ten Year Warrants and Five Year Warrants. Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under the Plan of Reorganization from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. Section 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer of securities through and the sale of any securities upon the exercise of any warrant, option, right to subscribe or conversion privilege issued under 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, such as the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Ten Year Warrants and Five Year Warrants, from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act and state laws if certain requirements are satisfied. 3,497,520 shares of our common stock issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Ten Year Warrants, the Five Year Warrants and the 3,907,774 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants may be resold without registration unless the seller is an “underwriter” with respect to those securities. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines an “underwriter” as any person who:
 
  •  purchases a claim against, an interest in, or a claim for an administrative expense against the debtor, if that purchase is with a view to distributing any security received in exchange for such a claim or interest;
 
  •  offers to sell securities offered under the Plan of Reorganization for the holders of those securities;
 
  •  offers to buy those securities from the holders of the securities, if the offer to buy is (i) with a view to distributing those securities; and (ii) (a) under an agreement made in connection with the Plan of Reorganization, the completion of the Plan of Reorganization, or with the offer or sale of securities under the Plan of Reorganization; or (b) is an “affiliate” of the issuer.
 
To the extent a person is deemed to be an “underwriter,” resales by such person would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Those


45


Table of Contents

persons would, however, be permitted to sell our common stock or other securities without registration if they are able to comply with the provisions of Rule 144, as described further below.
 
Rule 144
 
As of December 1, 2010, 45,145,000 shares of our outstanding common stock constituted “restricted securities” under Rule 144. Commencing on April 1, 2011, assuming we remain current in our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and commencing on October 1, 2011, if we do not, these shares may also be sold under Rule 144 subject in the case of holders that are affiliates to restrictions on volume and manner of sale.
 
Common Stock Issued in the Rights Offering
 
Certain holders of claims against Visteon and/or its subsidiaries (the “Eligible Holders”) agreed to purchase shares of our common stock in a rights offering pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and certain commitment agreements. The offer and sale of common stock issued to the Eligible Holders pursuant to the rights offering was exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof, and are deemed “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or in compliance with an applicable exemption therefrom. As a result, the common stock issued to the Eligible Holders, is not freely tradable.
 
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issued to certain investors in the rights offering to be filed with the SEC no later than fourteen business days after the Effective Date. Shares sold pursuant to such registration statement will be freely tradable, subject to the volume limitations and other restrictions set forth in Rule 144 applicable to common stock held by our affiliates. Pursuant to such requirement, we have filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the SEC.
 
Stock Options and Other Stock Awards
 
The Plan of Reorganization contemplates the adoption of a new management incentive plan under which shares of our common stock, or options or other awards to purchase shares of common stock, can be issued to the our directors, management and other employees. Under the Visteon Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan, shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance, and we have awarded 1,666,667 restricted shares of common stock and restricted stock units to certain of our employees and non-employee directors. We have filed a registration statement on Form S-8 covering all of the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Visteon Corporation 2010 Incentive Plan, and such shares will be freely tradable in the public market as soon as issued subject to certain limitations applicable to affiliates and any restrictions applicable to the vesting of awards.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
On August 31, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Plan of Reorganization. Mark Taub and Andrew Shirley, holders of pre-confirmation shares of common stock of Visteon, had objected to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization alleging, among other grounds, that the Plan of Reorganization violated section 1123(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code because the members of an ad hoc equity committee had entered into the equity contribution agreement with us and other investors, which entitled them to purchase a limited number of shares of reorganized Visteon and receive reimbursement for certain expenses. The Bankruptcy Court overruled their objection in entering the order confirming the Plan of Reorganization (the “Confirmation Order”). On September 8, 2010, Messrs. Taub and Shirley sought a stay pending appeal of the Confirmation Order. The Bankruptcy Court denied their request for a stay on September 9, 2010. On September 10, 2010, Messrs. Taub and Shirley (the “Appellants”) filed a notice of appeal of the Confirmation Order with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “District Court”), seeking to overturn the Confirmation Order and/or other equitable relief. The Appellants also moved for a stay pending appeal from the District Court. By oral order given on September 14, 2010, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision denying a stay pending appeal. The Plan of Reorganization went effective on October 1, 2010.

Table of Contents

 
Visteon and the Appellants completed briefing on the appeal on October 11, 2010 and the District Court scheduled oral argument on the appeal for November 10, 2010, which was later adjourned to December 13, 2010. While Visteon believes that the appeal lacks merit and the relief requested by the Appellants is barred by the doctrine of equitable mootness, litigation is inherently risky and results are never certain. Thus, on November 22, 2010, Visteon filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of a settlement with the Appellants pursuant to which the Appellants have agreed, among other things, to withdraw their appeal with prejudice in exchange of payment of $2.25 million from Visteon. The motion is scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court on December 14, 2010.
 
The settlement agreement is conditioned upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court, unless the parties mutually agree to be bound by the terms of the settlement agreement absent Bankruptcy Court approval. If the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the settlement or the appeal is not otherwise withdrawn, we intend to vigorously defend the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Confirmation Order. While we are unable to estimate what impact an adverse ruling would have on its results of operations, financial condition or the value of its securities, the Appellants have requested remedies that include overturning the Confirmation Order, the payment of cash damages of in excess of $50 million, the lowering of the exercise price on certain warrants issued to our old stockholders from $58.80 to $16.49, the sale of approximately 1.8 million shares of new common stock to our old stockholders at $27.69, or other equitable remedies the District Court may determine. In the event the District Court fashions a remedy for the Appellants, such remedy could negatively impact the value of new common stock.
 
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We are registering 46,972,866 shares of our common stock for possible sale by the selling stockholders. Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders named in the table above and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer after the date of this prospectus.

  •  in the over-the-counter market or on any national securities exchange on which our shares are listed or traded, if any;
 
  •  in privately negotiated transactions;
 
  •  in underwritten transactions;
 
  •  in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell the offered shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
  •  through purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
 
  •  in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

stockholders and, at the time of the determination, may be higher or lower than the market price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other exchange or market.
 
The shares may be sold directly or through broker-dealers acting as principal or agent, or pursuant to a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis. The selling stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers of other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). In connection with an underwritten offering, underwriters or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or from purchasers of the offered shares for whom they may act as agents. In addition, underwriters may sell the shares to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents.
 
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in a distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders and any commissions received by broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.
 
The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify an underwriter, broker-dealer or agent against certain liabilities related to the selling of the common stock, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Under the registration rights agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities related to the sale of the common stock, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Under the registration rights agreement, we have also agreed to pay the costs, expenses and fees of registering the shares of common stock; however, the selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts or commissions relating to the sale of the shares of common stock in any underwritten offering.
 
The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of its shares. Upon our notification by the selling stockholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing certain material information, including:
 
  •  the name of the selling stockholders;
 
  •  the number of shares being offered;
 
  •  the terms of the offering;
 
  •  the names of the participating underwriters, broker-dealers or agents;
 
  •  any discounts, commissions or other compensation paid to underwriters or broker-dealers and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by any underwriters to dealers;
 
  •  the public offering price; and
 
  •  other material terms of the offering.
 
In addition, upon being notified by the selling stockholders that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell more than 500 shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling stockholders.
 
The selling stockholders are subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock offered in this

prospectus by the selling stockholders. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and its affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities for the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. The restrictions may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for the shares.
 
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. Instead of selling the shares of common stock under this prospectus, the selling stockholders may sell the shares of common stock in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
 
This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this prospectus have been sold by the selling stockholders.

Item 14.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Visteon is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 (“Section 145”) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (the “DGCL”), provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer, director, employee or agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.
 
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against the person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
 
Article Ninth of Visteon’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a director of Visteon shall not be personally liable to Visteon or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under Delaware law. Article Tenth of Visteon’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Article VIII of Visteon’s amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of the officers and directors of Visteon to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
 
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Delaware law and the registrant’s organizational documents dealing with indemnification of directors and officers and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and of the registrant’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
 
Visteon has obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which insures against liabilities that its directors or officers may incur in such capacities.
 
Item 15.   Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
 
On the Effective Date, all existing shares of old common stock were cancelled pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Effective Date, Visteon issued 45,145,000 shares of common stock in connection with the rights offering provided for in the Plan of Reorganization.

Item 16.   Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
 
Reference is made to the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration Statement.
 
Item 17.   Undertakings
 
a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
 
d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
e) The undersigned hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
