Among those transactions under review is one involving Trammel Crow's Detroit office. A brother-in-law of Lear CEO and president Robert Rossiter, Terrence Kittleson, was employed by Trammell Crow Co., which received $1.7 million from Lear for facilities maintenance and real estate brokerage services.
All the purchases or payments were made in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with normal procedures, Lear said in the filing.
In all, the amendment detailed 14 people related to senior executives and the money they received. Also among the payments were $7.2 million for software services and computer equipment to a unit of Analysts International Corp., where Rossiter's brother, Terence Rossiter, is a salesman, Lear said in the filing. Ray Green, a brother-in-law of Charles Fisher, the president of Lear's Daimler-Chrysler division, was also employed by Analysts' Sequoia Services Group as a salesman, Lear said.
Another brother, Brian Rossiter, received a commission from a $2.1 million Lear payment to Center Manufacturing and Sarnamotive/Blue Water for automotive products.
"We've disclosed all the transactions that we're required to, and the SEC is going to do an inquiry into this and we're going to cooperate fully," Lear spokesman Mel Stephens said.
