OFFERING MEMORANDUM
NOT FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION
IN THE UNITED STATES

Grupo Antolin Dutch B.V.
400 million 4.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2021

Grupo Antolin Dutch B.V., a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte
aansprakelijkheid) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands (the "Issuer"), issued 400 million 4.75%
Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the "notes"). Interest will be paid on the notes semi-annually in arrears in cash on
April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2014.
The notes will mature on April 1, 2021. Prior to April 1, 2017, the Issuer may redeem the notes in whole or in
part at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principle amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
and additional amounts, if any, plus the applicable "make whole" premium, as described herein. In addition, prior to
April 1, 2017, the Issuer may redeem at its option up to 40% of aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net cash
proceeds from certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in this offering memorandum. At any time on or
after April 1, 2017, the Issuer will be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the notes, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' notice, at the applicable redemption price set forth in this offering memorandum. The Issuer may
redeem all of the notes, at any time, at a price equal to their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and
additional amounts, if any, upon the occurrence of certain changes in applicable tax law.
The notes are senior obligations of the Issuer secured by (i) a first-ranking pledge over 32.6% of the shares of
Grupo Antolín-Irausa, S.A. (the "Company") held by Castilfale Gestión, S.A.U ("HoldCo2") (the "Initial Collateral")
and (ii) a first-ranking pledge over 67.4% of the shares of the Company held by Grupo Antolín Holdco, S.L.U
("HoldCo1") (the "Post Closing Collateral" and, together with the Initial Collateral, the "Collateral"). The Initial
Collateral will be granted within 15 business days from the date of the issuance of the notes. As of the date of the
issuance of the notes, HoldCo1 is a sociedad de responsabilidad limitada incorporated in Spain. Under Spanish law, we
must convert HoldCo1 to a sociedad anónima before HoldCo1 can grant a pledge of any of its assets for the benefit of
the noteholders. We have undertaken to convert HoldCo1 into a sociedad anónima as soon as practicable. Following such
conversion, the notes are secured by the Collateral. If the noteholders do not benefit from a pledge of 100% of the shares
of the Company by December 31, 2014, the interest rate payable on the notes will be subject to an increase of 0.50% per
annum of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, which shall apply to each subsequent interest payment of the notes
to each noteholder from January 1, 2015, until such date in which the Collateral is granted, upon which such increase
shall expire. See "Description of the Notes--Principal, Maturity and Interest and Payment of the Notes--Interest Rate
Adjustments." The notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer's existing and future senior debt and
senior to any of its existing or future subordinated debt. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (with the Company,
the "Guarantors") will guarantee the notes (the "Guarantees"). Local laws may limit your rights to enforce certain
guarantees, and, in addition, your rights with respect to the notes and the Guarantees will be subject to an intercreditor
agreement (the "Intercreditor Agreement") entered into with, among others, lenders under our senior term facilities and
revolving credit facility (the "Senior Facilities Agreement"). See "Annex A--Senior Facilities Agreement" for a copy of
the Senior Facilities Agreement substantially in the form in which it will be executed and "Annex B--Intercreditor
Agreement" for a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement substantially in the form in which it will be executed.
The Guarantees, as well as certain claims against the Issuer and the Guarantors, will be subject to significant
contractual and legal limitations. In particular, the Guarantees of Grupo Antolín Lusitânia -Componentes
Automóvel, S.A. and Grupo Antolín Valença-Componentes Automóvel, S.U.L. will be limited to a maximum amount of
17.8 million and 4.7 million, respectively and will be governed by English law pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement. Furthermore, the Guarantees may be released under certain circumstances.

This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of the Luxembourg law dated July 10, 2005
on Prospectuses for Securities, as amended, and includes information on the terms of the notes, including redemption and
repurchase prices, covenants and transfer restrictions.
There is currently no public market for the notes. An application has been made to have the notes admitted to
the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF Market ("Euro MTF").
Investing in the notes involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 27 for a
discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in any of the notes.

Issue price for the notes: 100.00%
plus accrued interest, if any, from the issue date.

This offering memorandum does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy,
securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The notes have not been and will not be
registered under the US federal or state securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not
be offered or sold within the US or to, or for the account or benefit of, US persons (as defined in Regulation S
under the US Securities Act of 1933 ("Regulation S"), as amended (the "Securities Act")), except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Accordingly, the Initial Purchasers named below are offering the notes only to "qualified institutional buyers"
("QIBs"), as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A"), in reliance on Rule 144A, and to
persons outside the US in reliance on Regulation S. See "Notice to Investors" and "Transfer Restrictions" for
further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions.
The notes were ready for delivery, in book-entry form only, through Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and
Clearstream Banking société anonyme ("Clearstream") on March 21, 2014.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA
This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the notes were made pursuant to an
exemption under Article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC (the "Prospectus Directive", as implemented in Member States of the
European Economic Area (the "EEA") and any amendments thereto, including the 2010 Prospectus Directive Amending
Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), from the requirement to produce and publish a
prospectus for offers of the notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the
notes should only do so in circumstances in which no obligations arise for us or any of the Initial Purchasers to produce a
prospectus for such offer. Neither we nor the Initial Purchasers have authorized, nor do we or they authorize, the making
of any offer of notes through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Initial Purchasers, which
constitute a final placement of the notes contemplated in this offering memorandum.
In relation to each Member State of the EEA that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant
Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that
Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), an offer is not being made and will not be made to the
public of any notes which are the subject of this offering contemplated by this offering memorandum in that Relevant
Member State, other than:
(i)
to any legal entity which is a "qualified investor" as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(ii)
to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010
Prospectus Directive Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than "qualified
investors" as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject
to obtaining the prior consent of the Initial Purchasers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(iii)
in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, provided that no such
offer of the notes shall require us or the Initial Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3
of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "offer of the notes to the public" in relation to the notes in any
Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms
of the offer and the notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the notes, as the
same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that
Relevant Member State, and includes any relevant implemented measure in each Relevant Member State, and the
expression 2010 Prospectus Directive Amending Directive means Directive 2010/73/EU.
NOTICE TO CERTAIN OTHER EUROPEAN INVESTORS

constitute a public offer (oferta pública) of securities in Spain, in accordance with article 30 bis of the Securities Market

France and this offering memorandum has not been and will not be released, issued or distributed or caused to be
released, issued or distributed to the public in France. Offers, sales and distributions of the notes in France will be made

and sold in the Federal Republic of Germany only in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Prospectus Act of
the Federal Republic of Germany (Wertpapierprospektgesetz) (the "German Securities Prospectus Act") and any other
applicable German law. Consequently, in Germany the notes will only be available to, and this offering memorandum

(qualifizierte Anleger) within the meaning of Section 2 No. 6 of the German Securities Prospectus Act. Any resale of the
notes in Germany may only be made in accordance with the German Securities Prospectus Act and other applicable laws.

amended (the "Financial Services Act") and to Consob Regulation no. 11971 of May 14, 1999 as amended (the "Issuers
