ITEM 4. | Description of Securities. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. | Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Under our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our directors and officers are entitled to indemnification from Dana to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL). In addition, Dana may, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or to such lesser extent as is determined in the discretion of the board of directors, indemnify other employees and agents of Dana. Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, Dana generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors and officers against expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in those positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Dana, and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by or in the right of Dana, however, indemnification is generally limited to attorneys fees and other expenses and is not available if the person is adjudged to be liable to Dana unless the court determines that indemnification is appropriate. The statute expressly provides that the power to indemnify authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Company also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance for its directors and officers.
Dana has also entered into indemnity agreements with each member of its board of directors and its officers. These agreements generally provide that, if the director or officer becomes involved in a claim (as defined in the terms and conditions of such agreement) by reason of an indemnifiable claim (as defined in the agreement), Dana will indemnify the director or officer to the fullest extent authorized by our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, notwithstanding any subsequent amendment, repeal or modification of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, against any and all expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of the claim.
The preceding discussion of Section 145 of the DGCL, Danas Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and form of indemnity agreement previously filed with the Commission is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified by Section 145 of the DGCL, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and form of indemnity agreement.

ITEM 7. | Exemption From Registration Claimed. |
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. | Exhibits. |
The following documents are attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference as exhibits to this Registration Statement:
* | Filed herewith. |
ITEM 9. | Undertakings. |
Dana hereby undertakes:
(a) |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
(i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
(ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration |
3
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Filing Fee Tables or Calculation of Registration Fee table, as applicable, in the effective Registration Statement; |
(iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
provided, however, that, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by Dana pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
4
(b) | Dana hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Danas annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Dana pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Dana has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Dana of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Dana in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Dana will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary for Dana Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the Company). This opinion is being rendered with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the Registration Statement) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), 3,070,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the Securities). The Securities are to be issued under the Dana Incorporated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended, the Plan).
I have examined such certificates, instruments, and documents and reviewed such questions of law as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, and, on the basis of such examination and review, and subject to further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:
The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any applicable agreement under the Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporation laws of the State of Delaware (including all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws), and I express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In addition, I have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue or deliver and sell the Securities pursuant to the Plan and the applicable awards agreements will be in full force and effect at all times at which such Securities are issued or delivered or sold by the Company, and the Company will take no action inconsistent with such resolutions.
In rendering the opinions above, I have assumed that each grant of awards under the Plan will be approved by the board of directors of the Company or an authorized committee of the board of directors of the Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
/s/ Douglas H. Liedberg |
Douglas H. Liedberg |
Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary |
Exhibit 10.2
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE
DANA INCORPORATED
2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
The 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan, effective April 21, 2021 (the Effective Date) (the Plan), of Dana Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the Company), is hereby amended, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 3(a)(i) of the Plan. Section 3(a)(i) of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
Maximum Shares Available Under Plan. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or delivered under the Plan following the Effective Date is 6,570,000 shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock underlying Substitute Awards, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that remained available for new grants under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, no new grants shall be made under the Prior Plan. Any Award that by its terms can be settled only in cash shall not count against the number of shares of Common Stock available for award under the Plan. Common Stock to be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, treasury shares or a combination of the foregoing.
2. Effectiveness. In accordance with Section 20(a) of the Plan, the effectiveness of this First Amendment to the Dana Incorporated 2021 Omnibus Plan (this Amendment) is subject to the approval of the Companys shareholders at the Companys 2024 annual general meeting of shareholders (the date of such approval, the Amendment Effective Date). For the avoidance of doubt, if shareholder approval is not obtained, then this Amendment shall be void ab initio and of no force and effect.
3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.
4. Effect on the Plan. This Amendment shall not constitute a waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of the Plan not expressly referred to herein. Except as expressly amended or modified herein, the provisions of the Plan are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. On and after the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Plan to this Plan, herein, hereof, hereunder or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Plan as amended hereby. To the extent that a provision of this Amendment conflicts with or differs from a provision of the Plan, such provision of this Amendment shall prevail and govern for all purposes and in all respects.
