On February 16, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Dana Incorporated (the “Company”) appointed Michael J. Mack, Jr. and Diarmuid B. O’Connell to the Board effective February 16, 2018. Mr. Mack has been named to both the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board, and Mr. O’Connell has been named to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board, effective February 16, 2018, in each case.

Mr. Mack, 61, recently retired from Deere & Co., where he had served as chief financial officer; president of the company’s Worldwide Construction & Forestry Division; and most recently as group president of John Deere Financial Services, Global Human Resources, and Public Affairs. He also held leadership roles in dealer systems, business development, engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, and finance.

Mr. Mack earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mechanical engineering from Iowa State University and also holds a master’s degree in business administration in finance, operations, and statistics from the University of Chicago.

Mr. O’Connell, 54, spent the last 11 years at Tesla, most recently as vice president of business development. One of the longest-serving executives at the automaker, he also served as chief of staff to the assistant secretary of state for political military affairs in the U.S. Department of State. He also held management positions with Accenture, Young & Rubicam, and McCann-Erickson.

A graduate of Dartmouth College, Mr. O’Connell earned master’s degrees in business administration from the Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and international relations from the University of Virginia.

Messrs. Mack and O’Connell will receive the same compensation for their services as will be consistent with that of the Company’s other nonemployee directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between either of Messrs. Mack or O’Connell and any other persons pursuant to which either of Messrs. Mack or O’Connell were selected as director, and there are no transactions in which either of Messrs. Mack or O’Connell has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
