Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) (“Dana”) today announced that it plans to issue a notice of redemption for the remaining $350 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.375 percent Senior Notes due 2021 at a redemption price equal to 102.688 percent of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date of September 18, 2017.
Dana also announced the closing of an amendment to its existing senior secured credit facility.
