At the meeting, Visteon shareholders re-elected Steven K. Hamp and Robert
M. Teeter to the company's Board of Directors. The shareholders also approved
adoption of incentive plans for employees and non-employee directors.
Visteon Chairman and CEO Peter J. Pestillo announced that the company intends
to repurchase common stock over the next 12 months to fund awards in 2001 and
2002 under these plans. The repurchase is estimated at approximately $60
million (depending on market price and conditions), and avoids the dilution
that would result from awarding newly issued shares.
Visteon Corporation is a leading full-service supplier that delivers
consumer-driven technology solutions to automotive manufacturers worldwide and
through multiple channels within the global automotive aftermarket. Visteon
has 82,000 employees and a global delivery system of more than 130 technical,
