| On March 3, 2006, Dana Corporation and 40 of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The filings were made in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The company's European, South American, Asia-Pacific, Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing. DCC, the company’s lease financing subsidiary, was also not included. Dana intends to use the Chapter 11 reorganization process to implement long-term solutions that will position the company for a stable and profitable future. To fund its continuing operations during the reorganization process, Dana has secured $1.45 billion in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing. This DIP financing will be used for the company’s normal working capital requirements, including employee wages and benefits, supplier payments, and other operating expenses. Dana is open for business as usual. Customers can continue to rely on Dana for quality products – delivered on time and to world-class specification.
