Prior to our IPO in March 2010, we were a direct, 99% owned, subsidiary of Sensata Investment Company S.C.A. (“SCA”), a Luxembourg company, which is owned by investment funds or vehicles advised or managed by Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“Bain Capital”), its co-investors (Bain Capital and its co-investors are collectively referred to as the “Sponsors”) and certain members of our senior management. As of December 31, 2012, SCA owns 45% of our outstanding ordinary shares.

PP&E are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. PP&E acquired through the 2006 Acquisition, the acquisitions of the First Technology Automotive, Airpax, MSP and HTS businesses were “stepped-up” to fair value on the date of the respective business acquisition resulting in a new cost basis for accounting purposes. The amount of the adjustment to the cost basis of these assets as a result of the 2006 Acquisition, the First Technology Automotive acquisition, the Airpax acquisition, the MSP acquisition, and the HTS acquisition totaled $57.8 million, $2.2 million, $5.1 million, $12.4 million, and $9.6 million, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $250.0 million share repurchase program. The timing, manner, price and volume of repurchases will be based on market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors we consider appropriate. We expect to fund purchases from available cash and free cash flow. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time. Our primary goal of the program will be to offset the dilution associated with our equity compensation programs. As of December 31, 2012, we had $234.8 million available under the program.
