Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
Underwriting Agreement
On January 25, 2011, Dana Holding Corporation (“Dana”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc.; Wells Fargo Securities, LLC; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the issuance and sale by Dana of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes” and, together with the 2019 Notes, the “Notes”).
The offering of the Notes was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-171826) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 24, 2011. The terms of the Notes were described in Dana’s Prospectus dated January 24, 2011, as supplemented by a final Prospectus Supplement dated January 25, 2011, as filed with the Commission on January 26, 2011. Dana used the net proceeds from the offering, together with current cash and cash equivalents, to repay in full all amounts outstanding under its term loan facility.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, covenants and indemnification provisions.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 1.1.
Indenture
On January 28, 2011, Dana completed its offering of the Notes. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of January 28, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), among Dana and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 28, 2011 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The Indenture provides, among other things, that the Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Dana. Interest is payable on the Notes on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning August 15, 2011. The 2019 Notes will mature on February 15, 2019 and the 2021 Notes will mature on February 15, 2021.
Dana may redeem the 2019 Notes in whole or in part on or after February 15, 2015 at redemption prices of 103.250% or 101.625% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on February 15, 2015 or 2016, respectively, and a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount thereof on or after February 15, 2017, in

each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to February 15, 2014, Dana may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to February 15, 2015, Dana also may redeem the 2019 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. In addition, prior to February 15, 2015, during any 12-month period, Dana may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Dana may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part on or after February 15, 2016 at redemption prices of 103.375%, 102.250% or 101.125% of the principal amount thereof if the redemption occurs during the 12-month period beginning on February 15, 2016, 2017 or 2018, respectively, and a redemption price of 100.000% of the principal amount thereof on or after February 15, 2019, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to February 15, 2014, Dana may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 106.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes remains outstanding after the redemption. Prior to February 15, 2016, Dana may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date plus a “make-whole” premium. In addition, prior to February 15, 2016, during any 12-month period, Dana may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change of control of Dana, Dana will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101.00% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.
The Indenture contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit Dana’s ability to: (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends and make other restricted payments, (iii) create or permit certain liens, (iv) issue or sell capital stock of Dana’s restricted subsidiaries, (v) use the proceeds from sales of assets and subsidiary stock, (vi) create or permit restrictions on the ability of Dana’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Dana, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (viii) consolidate or merge or sell all or substantially all of Dana’s assets. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the Indenture. In addition, if in the future (i) the Notes have been assigned an investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and a rating from the other rating agency of at least Ba1 in the case of Moody’s or BB+ in the case of S&P, and (ii) no default has occurred and is continuing, certain of these covenants will, thereafter, no longer apply to the Notes for so long as the Notes maintain these specified ratings. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default.
