Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed, Dana Holding Corporation (“Dana”), through a subsidiary, is a party to a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Dongfeng Motor Company, Ltd. and certain of its affiliates dated March 10, 2005 (as amended, the “Agreement”) filed as Exhibit 10-U(1) to Dana’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, which provided for Dana to acquire a 50% interest in Dongfeng Axle Co., Ltd. (“DAC”). The Agreement was amended on March 14, 2007 to permit Dana to acquire, directly or indirectly, a 4% interest in DAC soon thereafter and a remaining 46% equity interest at a later date. Such amendment was filed as Exhibit 10-O(1) to Dana’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Dana previously acquired on June 28, 2007 a 4% equity interest in DAC, and DAC was renamed Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. (“DDAC”).

On June 30, 2011, Dana completed the acquisition of the remaining 46% of additional equity in DDAC pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as further amended in 2011, for a cash payment of $124 million. A sales incentive agreement between DDAC and an affiliate of Dongfeng Motor Company, Ltd. entered in connection with this transaction could effectively increase Dana’s consideration by as much as $20 million if specified profitability targets are achieved; however, the valuation of the arrangement has not been finalized.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 5, 2011, Dana issued a press release announcing the closing of the DDAC transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
