Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 21, 2019, Dana Incorporated (“Dana”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of January 28, 2011, between Dana and the Trustee, in connection with the early settlement of Dana’s previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation”) for Dana’s 6.000% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). The Fifth Supplemental Indenture amends the indenture governing the 2023 Notes to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions, and shorten the required notice period for redemptions of the 2023 Notes from 30 days to two business days. The information set forth under Item 8.01 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

A copy of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the material terms of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 22, 2019, Dana announced that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2019 (the “Early Tender Time”), holders of approximately $162 aggregate principal amount of Dana’s outstanding 2023 Notes had tendered their 2023 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

As of the Early Tender Time, the tenders received by Dana for the 2023 Notes represented in the aggregate approximately 54% of the 2023 Notes. As a result, the requisite consent of holders of the 2023 Notes was obtained and, on November 21, 2019, Dana and the Trustee entered into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, December 5, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”), and holders of 2023 Notes who validly tender their 2023 Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or before the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration and will not receive the consent and early tender payment.

On November 22, 2019, Dana announced that it exercised its right to accept for early payment all of the 2023 Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Time. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated November 5, 2019 (the “Statement”), Dana has accepted for purchase approximately $162 aggregate principal amount, or approximately 54%, of the 2023 Notes. As a result of Dana’s acceptance and payment for the tendered 2023 Notes, the provisions of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture became operative on November 22, 2019. Notwithstanding Dana’s exercise of its early acceptance rights, the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will remain open until the Expiration Time, unless extended or earlier terminated.

Each holder who tendered its 2023 Notes prior to the Early Tender Time received on November 22, 2019 the total consideration of $1,022.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2023 Notes tendered, which includes $992.50 as the tender offer consideration and $30.00 as the consent and early tender payment. In addition, accrued interest up to, but not including, the payment date of the 2023 Notes was paid in cash on all tendered and accepted 2023 Notes.

1


The complete terms and conditions to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for the 2023 Notes are detailed in the Statement. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is being made only through, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Statement.

On November 22, 2019, Dana issued a notice of redemption pursuant to the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, as amended by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, announcing that Dana intends to redeem all of its outstanding 2023 Notes on November 26, 2019 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

Dana issued a news release in connection with such announcements, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Dana Announces Early Results of Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for 2023 Notes

MAUMEE, Ohio, November 22, 2019/PRNewswire/ – Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) (“Dana”) today announced that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 21, 2019 (the “Early Tender Time”), holders of approximately $162 million aggregate principal amount, or approximately 54% of the outstanding principal amount, of its outstanding 6.000% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) had tendered their 2023 Notes pursuant to Dana’s previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation”). As a result, the requisite consent of holders of the 2023 Notes was obtained, and Dana and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) under the indenture governing the 2023 Notes (the “Indenture”), entered into a supplemental indenture implementing the proposed amendments to the Indenture, to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions, and shorten the required notice period for redemptions of the 2023 Notes from 30 days to two business days. These amendments will become operative at the time that Dana accepts such 2023 Notes for payment.

The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are detailed in Dana’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated November 5, 2019 (the “Statement”). Dana currently expects that on November 22, 2019, it will accept for payment, subject to conditions set forth in the Statement, all of the 2023 Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time.

Upon early settlement, each holder who validly tendered their 2023 Notes prior to the Early Tender Time will receive the total consideration of $1,022.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes tendered, which includes $992.50 as the tender offer consideration and $30.00 as the consent and early tender payment. In addition, accrued interest up to, but not including, the payment date of the 2023 Notes will be paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted 2023 Notes.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, December 5, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Because the withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 19, 2019 has passed, tendered 2023 Notes may no longer be withdrawn at any time, except to the extent that Dana is required by law to provide additional withdrawal rights. Holders who validly tender their 2023 Notes pursuant to the Statement after the Early Tender Time will receive only the tender offer consideration and will not be entitled to receive the consent and early tender payment if such 2023 Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

All the conditions set forth in the Statement remain unchanged. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, Dana may terminate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation and return tendered 2023 Notes not previously accepted. Dana has the right to waive any of the foregoing conditions with respect to the 2023 Notes and to consummate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. In addition, Dana has the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation at any time, subject to applicable law.

Dana today also expects to notify the Trustee that it has elected to redeem on November 26, 2019 (the “Redemption Date”) all of the 2023 Notes outstanding following the early settlement of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, at a redemption price of 102.000% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Noteholders are encouraged to refer to the notice of redemption, if and when issued by Dana.

This announcement shall not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is being made only through, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Statement.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is acting as Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. Questions regarding the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation may be directed at (800) 558-3745 (toll free) or at (212) 723-6106 (collect).

D.F. King & Co., Inc. is acting as the Tender Agent and Information Agent for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. Requests for the Statement may be directed at (212) 269-5550 (for brokers and banks) or (800) 714-2193 (for all others).


Neither Dana’s board of directors nor any other person makes any recommendation as to whether holders of 2023 Notes should tender their 2023 Notes, and no one has been authorized to make such a recommendation. Holders of 2023 Notes must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their 2023 Notes, and if they decide to do so, the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to tender. Holders of the 2023 Notes should read carefully the Statement before any decision is made with respect to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and projections contained in this news release, including with respect to the expected timing of the early settlement date and Dana’s expectations regarding issuing a notice of redemption, are, by their nature, forward-looking within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry and business, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

Dana’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other Securities and Exchange Commission filings discuss important risk factors that could affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The forward-looking statements in this news release speak only as of this date. Dana does not undertake any obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
