to Maintain Financial Flexibility, Strengthen Liquidity Position
TOLEDO, Ohio — Oct. 2, 2008 — Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) announced today that it has
drawn $200 million in principal amount under its existing $650 million secured revolving credit
facility to solidify its liquidity during the current uncertainty in the financial markets.
“Drawing down these funds is a prudent liquidity measure,” said Dana Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer James A. Yost. “Ensuring access to our liquidity to the fullest extent
possible at a time of ambiguity in the capital markets is in the best interest of our customers,
suppliers, shareholders, and employees.”
Yost added that drawing the revolver provides additional strength to the company’s cash position.
Prior to the draw, Dana had more than $1 billion on hand. The additional liquidity will be
available to support seasonal working capital needs and for other
ordinary business needs.
The $650 million secured revolving credit facility was established in January 2008 with a
consortium of banks and provides liquidity that Dana can draw on from time to time in order to fund
working capital and other needs. Following this draw, Dana has access to additional borrowing
capacity from the revolving credit facility as well as its international credit facilities.
