2022 PROXY STATEMENT
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be used at the Dana Incorporated Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held virtually on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, beginning at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being made available to shareholders beginning March 10, 2022.
What is a proxy?
A proxy is your authorization for someone else to vote for you in the way that you want to vote. When you complete and submit a proxy card or use the automated telephone voting system or the Internet voting system, you are submitting a proxy. Dana's Board of Directors is soliciting this proxy. All references in this proxy statement to “you” will mean you, the shareholder, and to “yours” will mean the shareholder's or shareholders', as appropriate.
What is a proxy statement?
A proxy statement is a document the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) requires to explain the matters, which you are asked to vote on by proxy and to disclose certain related information. This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to the shareholders on or about March 10, 2022.
What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?
At our Annual Meeting, shareholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of meeting, including i) the election of directors; ii) an advisory vote on executive compensation; and iii) ratification of the appointment of Dana’s independent registered public accounting firm. Also, management will report on the state of Dana and respond to questions from shareholders.
What is the record date and what does it mean?
The record date for the Annual Meeting is February 22, 2022 (the Record Date). The Record Date was established by the Board of Directors as required by Delaware law. Holders of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the meeting and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date may vote at the meeting. On February 22, 2022, 144,816,727 shares of our common stock were outstanding, and accordingly, are eligible to be voted.
What are the voting rights of the holders of common stock?
Each outstanding share of common stock will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

What is “Notice and Access” and why did Dana elect to use it?
We are making the proxy solicitation materials available to shareholders who hold shares electronically via the Internet under the Notice and Access rules and regulations of the SEC. On or about March 10, 2022, we mailed to such shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) in lieu of mailing a full set of proxy materials. Accordingly, our proxy materials are first being made available to our shareholders on or about March 10, 2022. The Notice includes information on how to access and review the proxy materials and how to vote via the Internet. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. We believe this method of delivery will decrease costs, expedite distribution of proxy materials to you and reduce our environmental impact. We encourage shareholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the Internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. Shareholders who received the Notice but would like to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail should follow the instructions in the Notice for requesting such materials.
What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a “street name” holder?
If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee how to vote their shares. See “How do I vote my shares?” below.
I share an address with another shareholder. Why did we receive only one set of proxy materials?
Dana may satisfy SEC rules regarding delivery of our proxy materials, including our proxy statement, or delivery of the Notice by delivering a single copy of these documents to an address shared by two or more shareholders. This process is known as “householding.” To the extent we have done so, we have delivered only one set of proxy materials or one Notice, as applicable, to shareholders who share an address with another shareholder, unless contrary instructions were received prior to the mailing date.
We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of our proxy statement, our 2021 Annual Report and/or our Notice, as requested, to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. To make such a request,
Internet www.proxyvote.com
Telephone 1-800-579-1639
Email sendmaterial@proxyvote.com
If requesting materials by e-mail, the control number found in the box marked by an arrow on the Notice and Access card will need to be provided in the e-mail request.
If your common stock is held by a brokerage firm or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy statement, our 2021 Annual Report or the Notice, either now or in the future, please contact your brokerage or bank. If your brokerage or bank is unable or unwilling to assist you, please make such request using the contact information indicated above.
Shareholders sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of proxy materials and who want to receive a single copy of our annual reports, proxy statements and/or our notices may do so by submitting a request using the contact information provided in this section.
How do I vote my shares?
If you are a registered shareholder of record as of February 22, 2022, as opposed to a street name holder, you will be able to vote in the following ways: by telephone, by the Internet, by mail, or during the Annual Meeting.
TO VOTE BY TELEPHONE: Call toll-free 1-800-690-6903, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. (ET), on April 19, 2022.
Use any touch-tone telephone to vote your proxy.
Make sure you have your proxy card, notice document or email that you received and follow the simple instructions provided.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(OR)
TO VOTE BY THE INTERNET: www.proxyvote.com, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. (ET), on April 19, 2022.
Make sure you have your proxy card, notice document or email that you received and follow the simple instructions provided.
(OR)
TO VOTE BY MAIL:
If you received printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may mark, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope that was provided to you. You should sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as guardian, executor, trustee, custodian, attorney or officer of a corporation), you should indicate your name and title or capacity.
If you submit a proxy to Dana before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote your shares as you directed. If no instructions are specified, the proxy will be voted: i) “FOR” all of the listed director nominees; ii) “FOR” approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation; and iii) “FOR” ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm.
You may revoke a proxy at any time before the proxy is exercised by:
(1)
delivering written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of Dana at the Dana Law Department, 3939 Technology Drive, Maumee, Ohio 43537;
(2)
submitting another properly completed proxy card that is later dated;
(3)
voting by telephone at a subsequent time; or
(4)
voting by Internet at a subsequent time.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must provide voting instructions for your shares in the manner prescribed by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee. Your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the brokerage firm, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares.
What is a quorum?
There were 144,816,727 shares of Dana's common stock issued and outstanding on the Record Date. A majority of the issued and outstanding shares or 72,408,364 shares, present or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. A quorum must exist to conduct business at the Annual Meeting.
Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?
For shareholders of record: If you are the shareholder of record and you do not vote by proxy card, by telephone or via the Internet, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.
For holders in street name: If your shares are held in street name, your shares may be voted even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Under New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) rules, your broker may vote shares held in street name on certain “routine” matters. The NYSE rules consider the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm to be a routine matter. As a result, your broker is permitted to vote your shares on this matter at its discretion without instruction from you.
When a proposal is not a routine matter, such as the election of directors and the advisory vote on executive compensation and you have not provided voting instructions to the brokerage firm with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. The missing votes for these non-routine matters are called “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but not as shares present and voting on a specific proposal.
What vote is required?
Proposal I - Election of Directors: If a quorum exists, the election requires a plurality vote of the shares present online or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote, meaning that the director nominees with the most affirmative votes are elected to fill the available seats. As outlined in our Bylaws, regardless of this plurality vote, any director who receives more “withheld” votes than “for” votes in an uncontested election is required to tender his or her resignation to the Board for consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Bylaws. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then evaluate the best interests of Dana

and its shareholders and will recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to the tendered resignation. Following the Board’s determination, Dana will promptly publicly disclose the Board’s decision of whether or not to accept the resignation and an explanation of how the decision was reached, including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation. Broker non-votes will not be counted as eligible to vote and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the voting.
Proposal II - Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation: The proposal represents an advisory vote and the results will not be binding on the Board or Dana. If a quorum exists, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present online or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter will constitute the shareholders’ non-binding approval with respect to our executive compensation programs. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as voting against the proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as eligible to vote on the proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the voting on the proposal. The Board will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.
Proposal III - Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: If a quorum exists, the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present online or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as voting against the proposal. Brokers will have discretionary voting power to vote this proposal so we do not anticipate any broker non-votes (described above).
Dana will vote properly completed proxies it receives prior to the Annual Meeting in the way you direct. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. If you hold shares in more than one account, you must vote each proxy and/or voting instruction card you receive to ensure that all shares you own are voted. No other matters are currently scheduled to be presented at the Annual Meeting. An independent third party, Broadridge Financial Services, will act as the inspector of the Annual Meeting and the tabulator of votes.
How do I participate in the virtual annual meeting?
All shareholders as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, may participate in the virtual Annual Meeting. Shareholders will be able to log into the virtual annual meeting platform beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 20, 2022. To participate in the virtual Annual Meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DAN2022 and enter your 16-digit control number as indicated on the Notice and Access card. Shareholders may submit questions either before or during the meeting.
Who pays for the costs of the Annual Meeting?
Dana pays the cost of preparing and printing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies. Dana will solicit proxies primarily by mail, but may also solicit proxies personally and by telephone, the Internet, facsimile or other means. Dana will use the services of D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, at a cost of approximately $12,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses and fees for any special services. Officers and regular employees of Dana and its subsidiaries may also solicit proxies, but they will not receive additional compensation for soliciting proxies. Dana will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of Dana's common stock.
How can shareholders propose business (other than nominations) for consideration by shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?
Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in Dana’s Proxy Materials – Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), we must receive shareholder proposals by November 10, 2022 to consider them for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. A shareholder submitting a proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials must comply with Rule 14a-8.
Other Proposals for Consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting – A shareholder who intends to propose an item of business at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (not for inclusion in our proxy materials) must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Under Dana's Bylaws, our shareholders must provide advance notice to Dana in such cases. For the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, notice must be received by Dana's Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on January 20, 2023 and no earlier than the open of business on December 21, 2022.
If Dana moves the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to a date that is more than 25 days before or after the date which is the one-year anniversary of this year's Annual Meeting date (i.e., April 20, 2023), Dana must receive your notice no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the meeting date is first distributed to shareholders or Dana makes a public announcement of the meeting date, whichever occurs first.

Dana's Bylaws specifying the advance notice and additional requirements for submission of shareholder proposals are available on Dana's website at www.dana.com.
How can shareholders nominate individuals for election as directors for consideration by shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?
Director Nominations for Inclusion in Dana’s Proxy Materials (Proxy Access) – Pursuant to Dana’s Bylaws, a shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders) who has continuously owned at least 3% of our shares for at least three years and has complied with the other requirements of our Bylaws may nominate and include in Dana’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 25% of Dana’s Board. Notice of a proxy access nomination for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting must be received no later than the close of business on November 10, 2022 and no earlier than the open of business on October 11, 2022.
Other Nominations for Consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting – A shareholder who intends to nominate a person for election as a director at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (other than under proxy access) must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Under Dana's Bylaws, our shareholders must provide advance notice to Dana in such cases. For the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, notice must be received by Dana's Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on January 20, 2023 and no earlier than the open of business on December 21, 2022.
If Dana moves the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to a date that is more than 25 days before or after the date which is the one-year anniversary of this year's Annual Meeting date (i.e., April 20, 2023), Dana must receive your notice no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the meeting date is first distributed to shareholders or Dana makes a public announcement of the meeting date, whichever occurs first.
In All Cases – Whether a nomination is made under our proxy access bylaw or under our advance notice bylaw, a shareholder’s notice to nominate individuals for election to the Board of Directors must provide information about the shareholder and the nominee, as well as the written consent of the proposed nominee to being named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected. Dana's Bylaws specifying the proxy access, advance notice and additional requirements for submission of nominations are available on Dana's website at www.dana.com.
Where should shareholders send proposals for business and director nominations for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders?

Executive Overview
Business Summary
The past year once again brought with it extraordinary challenges as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, both direct and indirect, continued throughout 2021. We experienced record raw-material cost inflation, significant supply-chain constraints, and critical labor shortages that continue to impact the global mobility industry. Despite these difficult challenges, our associates around the globe again proved their resilience, delivering world-class employee safety performance while demonstrating Dana’s steadfast commitment to serving our customers in an environment of record demand across all of our end markets.
While we fell short of our financial targets in 2021 due to the aforementioned challenges, we continued the vital work of transforming the company for electrification, of fostering an environment of inclusion and diversity where all ideas are welcomed and every employee feels safe, and of accelerating our commitment to reducing our total annual Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent five years ahead of our original 2035 goal.
We earned numerous safety, ethics and Top Employer awards in 2021. Dana was named one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek for the third consecutive year. In addition, we were selected for the inaugural Sustainability Award from ATZ / MTZ Group and Roland Berger. We were also recognized by a number of our customers, including Caterpillar, General Motors, PACCAR, John Deere and Toyota, among others. Our Spicer ElectrifiedTM e-Powertrain earned the New Power Technology Award and the Achievement of the Year Award at the 2021 Diesel Progress Summit, further demonstrating our innovation capabilities.
Dana’s Compensation Philosophy
The objective of our executive compensation program is to retain, attract, motivate and reward our senior leaders in the successful execution of our strategy. Our long-range enterprise strategy builds on our strong foundation of innovation and technology and leverages our operating model, driving cross functional resource sharing while maintaining a customer centric focus. Our strategy furthers the expansion of our global markets and accelerates the commercialization of new technology, enabling us to sustain our profitable growth trajectory while capitalizing on our position as a leader in electrified mobility. The program is designed to balance short-term performance with long-term growth, offering compensation and benefits that are competitive with executive compensation arrangements provided to executive officers at similar levels at comparably sized companies with whom we compete for talent.

Reward performance – A substantial percentage of executive pay is performance-based and therefore at risk. Our pay programs reflect our “pay-for-performance” culture that aligns incentives with shareholder interests.
Drive ownership mentality – We require executives to personally invest in Dana’s success through stock ownership guidelines that require executives to own a significant amount of our stock.
Emphasize long-term incentive compensation – We share a portion of the value created for shareholders with those responsible for the results through our performance-based long-term incentive compensation plans. Performance Shares reward executives for delivering long-term profitability and cash flow performance.
Retain, reward and attract the best talent to achieve superior results – To consistently outperform our competitors, it is crucial that we retain and recruit superior talent capable of driving superior results. We have structured our compensation program to motivate and reward these results.
Dana’s Executive Compensation Practices
Dana’s executive compensation program features many best practices that serve shareholder interests.
What We Do
What We Don’t Do
Base half of our long-term compensation on the achievement of objective, pre-established goals tied to financial, operational, and strategic measures.
No excise tax gross ups.
Award incentive compensation based on objective measures.
No excessive perquisites.
Apply leading practice stock ownership guidelines.
No hedging or pledging of Dana stock.
Maintain a clawback policy to recapture unearned incentive payments in the event of a restatement of our financial results.
No excessive change-in-control or executive severance provisions.
Retain an independent compensation consultant.
Include double-trigger vesting of equity awards and severance payments upon a change in control.
Say on Pay and Shareholder Engagement
Last year’s advisory vote on executive compensation (Say on Pay) continued to reflect strong support from our shareholders. More than 88% of votes were cast in favor of our pay practices, which we believe demonstrates that our shareholders understand that our executive compensation program is appropriately aligned with their interests. We value feedback from our shareholders and throughout 2021 we remained actively engaged through participation in numerous investor meetings and conferences.
The Compensation Committee considers the favorable Say on Pay vote and other factors explained in our CD&A in evaluating the executive compensation program, and in 2021 approved changes and other refinements to elements of our program to ensure the continued alignment of Dana’s strategy and business goals with shareholders’ long-term interests. Notable recent enhancements include:
an increased emphasis on free cash flow and value creation in incentive compensation;
incorporating relative performance metrics, including Relative TSR, into our incentive programs;
augmenting and expanding executive share ownership requirements; and
the elimination of cash perquisite allowances for our NEOs.
Changes to the executive compensation program are described in further detail later in this discussion and analysis.

Relationship Between Dana’s Pay and Performance
Compensation Peer Group
One of the factors our Compensation Committee uses in setting executive compensation is an evaluation of how our target compensation and benefits levels compare with those of similarly situated executives at companies that comprise our executive compensation peer group (Peer Group). Dana’s philosophy for senior executive pay, including NEO pay, is to target a range of +/-15% of the 50th percentile of our Peer Group and general industry market data as provided by the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. In addition to market data, other factors, such as an individual’s experience, responsibilities and long-term strategic value to Dana, are also considered when making recommendations and decisions on compensation.
The Peer Group used for benchmarking executive pay for all NEOs is made up of companies that are:
in similar industries where Dana competes for talent, customers and capital including auto components, high-tech industrial, construction and farm machinery, heavy trucks and other durable goods manufacturers,
of similar size (as measured by annual revenue), with a range of approximately 1/3rd to 3x Dana’s revenue that results in a median revenue close to Dana’s, and
of similar complexity to Dana (e.g., multi-country and multi-segment).
The Peer Group is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and modifications are made to ensure each company in the group meets the above comparison criteria. The 21 companies shown in the table below comprise our Peer Group:
Adient plc
Ingersoll-Rand Inc.
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.
Lear Corporation
BorgWarner Inc.
Meritor, Inc.
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
Navistar International Corporation
Cummins Inc.
OshKosh Corporation
Dover Corporation
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Eaton Corporation plc
Tenneco Inc.
Emerson Electric Co.
Terex Corporation
Flowserve Corporation
The Timken Company
Fortive Corporation
Trane Technologies plc
Illinois Tool Works Inc.
The Compensation Committee, after review with its executive compensation consultant, determined that each company comprising the 2020 Peer Group continued to meet the comparison criteria with the exception of Delphi Technologies due to the completion of its acquisition by BorgWarner. As a result, Delphi was removed as a compensation peer. Adient was added as a compensation peer based on the criteria described above, including industry similarities and as a direct competitor for executive talent.
Pay for Performance
We believe it is important to look at how NEO realizable pay compares to Dana’s performance because realizable pay is the pay that NEOs actually or could potentially receive and demonstrates how pay is linked to performance. The Compensation Committee and management analyzed the alignment between the pay of our NEOs and Dana’s three-year (2018-2020) performance relative to the Peer Group. The table below provides the definition of realizable pay and the performance metrics that were used for the pay-for-performance comparison.
Realizable Pay and Performance Measurement
Realizable Pay includes base salary, actual bonus payouts and theoretical gains of long-term incentive grants from 2018 through 2020 (“in-the-money” portion of options, all restricted stock awards/units granted and performance award payouts). Long-term incentives include the value of the awards granted at the end of the three-year period, which is not necessarily the value at vesting or exercise.
Note that this differs from the summary compensation table pay, which represents the grant-date fair value of the long-term incentive awards.

For purposes of this analysis, the following financial metrics were used — free cash flow growth, EBITDA growth, ROIC and revenue growth.
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following graphs show the correlation between realizable pay and the financial performance metrics indicated above over the three-year period from 2018 through 2020 for Dana’s CEO and other NEOs, and the CEOs and other NEOs in our Peer Group. Performance is indicated across the horizontal axis (stronger performance from left to right) and compensation is reflected on the vertical axis (higher pay from bottom to top) of each of the graphs. Peers lacking the full three years of data have been excluded from the analysis.




NEO Pay Mix
To align pay levels for our NEOs with Dana’s performance, our pay mix places the greatest emphasis on performance-based incentives. A significant majority (87% of our Chairman and CEO’s target compensation and 74% of the average target compensation of our other NEOs) is performance-based.

Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive
Our performance-based annual bonus program, the Dana Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), is a cash-based plan intended to motivate and reward employees based on Dana’s consolidated financial results as well as individual performance that drives shareholder value.
The AIP covers approximately 4,000 employees, including our NEOs. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves an annual cash bonus target for each NEO as a percentage of base salary for the upcoming performance period. The NEOs may earn from 0% to 200% of their target incentive opportunity. 80% of the incentive opportunity is based on actual consolidated financial performance compared to targets and 20% is based on individual performance goals focused on driving strategic, operational and other priorities of the business. All NEOs’ performance-related goals are approved by the Compensation Committee.
The 2021 AIP target payout opportunities and results weightings with respect to our NEOs are shown in the table below:

Also effective with the 2021 plan year, the Company’s consolidated results were used in determining the AIP financial performance metrics payout for all plan participants, including our NEOs, to increase incentives promoting an enhanced collaborative operating approach leveraging Dana’s core capabilities. As such, the results weightings applicable to Messrs. Aghili and Valencia no longer separately consider the performance of the business units over which they have responsibility (previously 40% of their target opportunity).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2021 AIP performance was based on four key metrics shown in the table below and was designed to reward the achievement of performance goals at the consolidated and individual levels. Each of the financial performance metrics maintained an equal weighting in the 2021 plan, designed to provide an appropriate level of motivation around profitability, margins and free cash flow, which are key value drivers of our business.

The Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow measures used in our publicly reported financial results form the basis of the performance metrics that are components of our AIP. Adjustments to EBITDA generally include equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefits costs and other adjustments not related to our core operations (e.g., gains or losses on debt extinguishment, pension settlements, divestitures and impairments, etc.). Adjustments to Free Cash Flow include discretionary pension contributions. For the purpose of calculating the annual incentive award, an additional adjustment is made to remove the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which may have a significant impact on our financial results given our international footprint, and which is not within management’s control.
Company Financial Metrics
Dana’s financial performance makes up 80% of the overall AIP awards for the NEOs and is measured by three equally weighted financial metrics: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. We believe these metrics are appropriate measures of our underlying earnings, align with our business enterprise strategy and our external financial reporting commitments, and drive shareholder value.

To determine whether annual incentive awards are paid, performance for the year is measured against specified targets for each financial and individual performance goal. Each of the three financial metric targets was based on achieving a level of performance which, at the time, was anticipated to be challenging but attainable. The threshold level was set to be reflective of performance at which the Compensation Committee believed a portion of the award opportunity should be earned. The maximum level was set well above the target, requiring significant achievements and reflecting performance at which the Compensation Committee believed a 200% target award is warranted.
AIP Performance
Weighting, target performance, actual performance and the payout associated with each of the 2021 AIP metrics are shown in the table below. Metric weightings and performance ranges approved by the Compensation Committee are intended to complement the rigor inherent in our target-setting processes by further incentivizing the attainment of superior performance outcomes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Individual Performance Goals
The NEOs’ individual performance makes up 20% of the overall AIP award. For 2021, each executive leader, including our NEOs, was accountable for individual goals focused on driving specific priorities such as, but not limited to, employee safety commitments, quality performance, sales growth, financial performance, operational efficiencies, inclusion and diversity outcomes, sustainability actions and execution of our overall business strategy.

The Compensation Committee reviews the strategic, operational and other individual performance goals for the Chairman and CEO and other NEOs. The Chairman and CEO sets forth each of the other NEO’s individual goals (and the weighting of each goal), subject to approval by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee sets the individual goals and weighting of each goal for the Chairman and CEO.
The Committee recognized the operating and financial challenges experienced during the year and determined to use its discretion to limit the level of achievement of the individual goals to 100% of target for each of the NEOs.
2021 Annual Incentive Plan Results
The annual incentive payments for our NEOs under the 2021 AIP, based on financial and individual performance described above, are shown in the following table. Mr. Collins forfeited his award as a result of his voluntary departure from the Company on December 15, 2021.

The performance and payout range (threshold, target and maximum incentive opportunity) of annual cash incentives for each of our NEOs is provided in the table titled “Grants of Plan-Based Awards”. The actual award paid, as shown in the table above, is also provided in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table” below.
Long-Term Incentive Program
We believe that Dana’s long-term performance is driven through an ownership culture that rewards executives for creating and maximizing shareholder value. Our Long-Term Incentive Program (LTIP) provides participants, including our NEOs, with incentive awards that serve an important role by balancing short-term goals with long-term shareholder value creation while minimizing risk-taking behaviors that could negatively affect long-term results.
The Compensation Committee approves the amount of the long-term incentive award, which is based on a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. Each NEO’s award opportunity is based on a target dollar value (determined prior to the beginning of the performance period) assigned to his or her position based on market comparisons for similar positions, using both Peer Group and general industry market data. For 2021, following its market data review, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to Mr. Kamsickas’ LTIP target opportunity to maintain alignment with long-term compensation opportunities afforded chief executive officers of the companies in Dana’s Peer Group. Similarly, the Compensation Committee approved an increase for Mr. Valencia to better align with the market. Mr. Collins forfeited all of his long-term incentive awards, including his 2021 award, as a result of his voluntary departure from the Company.
Half of the total value of the target long-term incentive opportunity is delivered through performance share awards (PSAs) and the other half through restricted stock units (RSUs). We believe both PSAs and RSUs are forms of performance-based incentive compensation because PSAs provide direct alignment with shareholder interests and the value of RSUs fluctuates based on stock price performance.
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to requiring achievement of performance criteria in respect of the performance shares, PSAs and RSUs require the NEO to remain employed with Dana for three years from the grant date, unless the NEO departs and is retirement eligible (retirement is defined as age 60 with at least 10 years of service, or age 65 regardless of service) whereby a prorated award is paid. The grant date value of PSAs and RSUs granted to each of our NEOs in 2021 (using the valuation methodologies required by the SEC disclosure rules) is shown in the “Summary Compensation Table”.
Performance Shares
The LTIP is designed to provide PSAs to a select group of senior executives, including our NEOs. PSAs are tied to the achievement of two financial performance measures of equal weight, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Total Shareholder Return relative to a pre-established index (“Relative TSR”). Each metric is measured over a three-year performance period (2021-2023) and PSAs can be earned from 0% to 200% of target opportunity. This combination of metrics incentivizes performance associated with profitability, cash flow and shareholder return and is intended to drive execution of our long-term financial and strategic objectives while aligning with investor interests. The value of performance shares is also tied to Dana’s stock price performance, which further aligns the executives’ interests with those of shareholders.
The target opportunities of PSAs for the NEOs are shown in the table below:

Restricted Stock Units
The other half of the LTIP design consists of RSU awards. We use RSUs to motivate and reward executives for improving long-term stock value and to serve as a retention tool. RSUs are generally granted in February to approximately 175 senior management employees, including our NEOs, and vest ratably on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date, provided the recipient remains employed by Dana. The RSUs awarded in 2021 to the NEOs are shown in the table below. Mr. Kraus received an additional grant of RSUs upon being named Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Aghili received an additional grant of RSUs to recognize his added responsibility for the Commercial Vehicle Drive and Motion Systems business unit. Both grants are shown in the table titled “Grants of Plan-Based Awards at Fiscal Year-End”.

2019 LTIP Performance (three-year performance period ending December 31, 2021)
December 31, 2021 marked the end of the three-year performance period for the 2019 LTIP awards. The performance metrics, targets and performance payout ranges for these awards were set and approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2019.
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Consistent with the 2018 LTIP, PSAs could be earned by the NEOs based on performance associated with two equally weighted metrics, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Pre-Tax ROIC, both measured as an average over the three-year performance period. The target levels of achievement for the Adjusted EBITDA Margin metric and the Pre-Tax ROIC metric were established to align with aggressive financial goals set at the beginning of the three-year performance period for each year through 2021.
As a result of the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our 2020 financial results, the Compensation Committee believed that the results for 2020 did not accurately reflect our management team’s efforts during that year. In response, the Compensation Committee approved an adjustment to our 2020 financial results with respect to the 2019 LTIP, adjusting for the loss of sales due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and providing for a profit contribution at a rate consistent with that experienced in the normal course of business. The adjustment was the same as that made with respect to the 2018 LTIP. The ensuing 2020 pro forma result was then included with the actual performance results of 2019 and 2021 to compute the three-year average and determine the actual award earned in accordance with the 2019 plan design. Although the impact of the pandemic and supply chain disruptions continued during 2021, no adjustments were made to the 2019 or 2021 results for purposes of the 2019 LTIP.
The Compensation Committee believed the adjustments appropriately rewarded executives’ demonstrated leadership throughout the pandemic including a sustained focus on and actions taken to address the ongoing health and safety of our team members across the globe while subsequently navigating the Company through the significant impact of supply chain and labor market disruptions resulting from the pandemic. In deciding to retain the 2020 year’s adjustment for the 2019 PSA payout, the Compensation Committee also carefully considered retention needs in a disruptive labor market, and the potential negative impact on the Company from a lack of any payout on the 2019 PSAs in spite of the efforts of the team over the last two years and our financial results in the years prior to the pandemic.
After the adjustment, the final payout was 24.4% of target, which the Compensation Committee believed was an appropriate balance between recognizing the team’s efforts, retaining an expectation of paying for performance, and considering our stockholders’ interests. The table below summarizes the results of the 2019 LTIP performance period relative to target and the achievement level of the 2019 LTIP awards.

Other Elements of Compensation
To remain competitive with other companies and to retain, attract and motivate highly talented executives, we provided certain other benefits to our NEOs in 2021, including health, wellness and retirement benefits.
Executive Perquisites
We do not offer significant individual perquisites to our NEOs such as car allowances, club memberships, and tax and financial planning. Mr. Valencia is provided a leased car as an element of his compensation in his Switzerland-based role.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

International Assignment Benefits
We maintain an International Assignment Policy for certain employees who accept an international assignment at the request of Dana. The benefits under this program generally include some or all of the following benefits as needed: cost of living allowance, location premium, relocation allowance, housing allowance, transportation allowance, tax preparation, assignment completion payment, repatriation allowance and annual home leave. Mr. Aghili received benefits under this program in 2021 reflecting trailing costs associated with the end of his assignment and repatriation in 2020.
For more information on the benefits provided to Mr. Aghili, see the “Summary Compensation Table” and related footnotes.
Health and Welfare – Wellness Benefits
We provide other benefits such as medical, dental, life insurance, accidental disability and dismemberment insurance, short-term disability and long-term disability to our NEOs, which are also provided to all eligible U.S.-based salaried employees. Eligible employees can purchase additional life, dependent life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage as part of their employee benefits package. Our NEOs and certain other manager-level employees may also purchase supplemental long-term disability insurance.
As part of our employee health and wellness benefit initiatives, we provide to certain executives, including our NEOs, an executive physical program in which we strongly encourage participation. The benefit provides an annual routine wellness examination and physical at a cost to Dana of approximately $2,600 per executive with a slightly higher cost for initial participation.
Retirement Benefits
We maintain a tax-qualified, “safe harbor” 401(k) plan for our employees, including the NEOs. Eligible participants may make voluntary contributions to the plan up to Internal Revenue Code limits. Dana makes both matching contributions and a fixed contribution to each eligible employee’s 401(k) plan account. We match 100% of the employee’s contributions up to 3% of compensation and 50% of the employee’s contributions from 3% to 5% of compensation, providing a maximum employer match of 4% of compensation to an employee. We give a company fixed contribution equal to 3.5% of each eligible employee’s compensation.
We provide a non-qualified savings plan (restoration plan), to which we credit amounts to participants, including our NEOs, that we would have otherwise provided as matching and fixed contributions under the 401(k) plan if IRS statutory limits on 401(k) plan contributions had not been applicable.
We also administer a non-qualified defined contribution supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for certain executives, including our NEOs. We believe that the SERP enables us to provide our NEOs with a competitive retirement program in line with our peers. A portion of the SERP benefit is based on our performance.
We offer a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows eligible employees, including our NEOs, to defer base salary and/or incentive pay to be paid at a future date. For more information regarding our non-qualified retirement programs, see the narrative following the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table.
How We Make Compensation Decisions
Role of the Compensation Committee and Chairman and CEO
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board in fulfilling its obligations related to the compensation of Dana’s executive officers and, in general, with respect to compensation and benefits programs relating to all employees. Our current Compensation Committee consists of a chair and independent directors who are appointed annually by the Board. Under its Charter, the Compensation Committee must have a minimum of three members who meet the requirements for independence as set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and our Standards of Director Independence. Members of the Committee must also qualify as “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.
Rachel A. Gonzalez served as Chair of the Compensation Committee during 2021. The other members of the Compensation Committee serving in 2021 included Michael J. Mack, Jr., R. Bruce McDonald and Diarmuid B. O’Connell.
The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Reviewing our executive compensation philosophy and strategy;
Participating in the performance evaluation process for our Chairman and CEO;
Setting base salary and incentive opportunities for our Chairman and CEO and other senior executives;
Establishing the overarching pay philosophy for Dana’s management team;
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Establishing incentive compensation and performance goals and objectives for our executive officers and other eligible executives and management, and determining whether performance objectives have been achieved; and
Recommending employment and severance agreements for our Chairman and CEO and other senior executives to the Board.
The Compensation Committee holds executive sessions without the participation of any member of executive management, including the NEOs, typically to discuss compensation matters pertaining to the Chairman and CEO. Each year, the Committee reviews the performance and total compensation package of our NEOs and reviews and establishes each NEO’s total target and actual compensation for the current year including base salary, annual bonus opportunities and long-term incentive awards.
Our Chairman and CEO is responsible for making recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding base salary and incentive opportunities for the NEOs other than with respect to his own compensation.
Compensation decisions are made by the Compensation Committee using its sole judgment. The Compensation Committee focuses primarily on each NEO’s performance against his or her financial and strategic objectives, Dana’s overall performance, and a business unit’s performance where applicable, while reserving authority to make decisions based on overall business performance, conditions and challenges.
Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee’s charter states the Committee may retain outside compensation consultants, legal counsel or other advisors. The Committee retains an independent compensation consultant, Mercer (US) Inc. (Mercer), a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC), to advise it on certain compensation matters. The Committee has the sole authority to retain, compensate and terminate any independent compensation consultants of its choosing.
In connection with the Compensation Committee’s engagement of Mercer, the Committee considered factors relevant to Mercer’s independence, including six factors specified by NYSE rules, and determined that Mercer’s work does not raise any conflict of interest. The Committee requested Mercer’s advice on a variety of issues, including compensation strategy, market comparisons, review of our Peer Group, pay and performance alignment versus industry peers, executive pay trends, stock ownership guidelines, compensation best practices and potential compensation plan designs and modifications.
Mercer provided the Peer Group and general industry compensation data to management and the Compensation Committee, and it was used as a frame of reference for establishing compensation targets for base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives for all of our NEOs at the beginning of 2021.
In addition to its services for the Compensation Committee, separate and distinct from executive and director compensation consulting services, Mercer provided select services for Dana in various other capacities in 2021. Those services included other global compensation consulting where Mercer data was most relevant in a given country. Mercer’s fees for executive compensation consulting in fiscal year 2021 were $179,205. During the fiscal year, Dana retained Mercer (and its MMC affiliates) to provide services unrelated to executive compensation. The aggregate fees paid for these other services were $16,825. These other services were not approved by our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee because they relate to broad-based compensation and benefit plans. Our management used Pay Governance LLC (Pay Governance) for additional executive compensation advice.
Compensation Policies and Practices
Dana’s Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our NEOs must comply with stock ownership guidelines that require executives to own a significant number of shares of our common stock. The stock ownership guidelines are calculated based on a multiple of the executive’s annual base salary and the average stock price during the prior calendar year.
To further strengthen our ownership culture and alignment with the interests of our shareholders, the Compensation Committee approved several changes to the stock ownership guidelines for senior executives, including the NEOs, which took effect January 1, 2021, as reflected below.
Increased the multiple applicable to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer from 5x to 8x;
Increased the multiple applicable to the Chief Financial Officer from 3x to 5x;
Extended ownership requirements to include all Company senior vice presidents;
Eliminated the phased approach to ownership achievement; and
Restricted the sale of shares acquired upon vesting of awards until ownership requirements have been met.
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In determining that the ownership requirements are satisfied, we generally include RSUs that have been granted and any shares owned outright by the executive. Stock options and unearned performance shares are not counted in determining stock ownership for this purpose. Executives have five years beginning from date of hire or promotion into an applicable role in which to attain compliance. Ownership requirements are shown below.

All NEOs had exceeded, met or were on track to meet their ownership requirement as established under our guidelines.
Clawback Provisions
To mitigate risk to Dana of paying either annual or long-term incentives based on faulty financial results, we have a policy (Clawback Policy) regarding adjustment of performance-based compensation in the event of a restatement of our financial results. It provides that the Compensation Committee will review all bonuses and other compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers based on the achievement of corporate performance goals during the period covered by a restatement. If the amount of such compensation paid or payable to any executive officer based on the originally reported financial results differs from the amount that would have been paid or payable based on the restated financial results, the Committee will make a recommendation to the independent members of the Board as to whether to seek recovery from the executive officer of any compensation exceeding that to which he or she would have been entitled based on the restated results. In the case of Mr. Kamsickas, his executive employment agreement sets forth clawback provisions in addition to the Clawback Policy provisions described above. These additional clawback provisions are described below under “CEO Employment Agreement.”
Hedging and Pledging of Dana Stock
Under the terms of our “Insider Trading Policy”, no employee, officer or non-employee Director is permitted to engage in securities transactions that would allow them either to insulate themselves from, or profit from, a decline in Dana’s stock price. Similarly, no employee, officer or director may enter into hedging transactions in Dana’s stock. Such transactions include, but are not limited to, short sales as well as any hedging transactions in derivative securities (i.e., puts, calls, options, swaps, forward contracts or collars) or other speculative transactions relating to Dana’s stock. Pledging of Dana’s stock is also prohibited.
Equity-Based Grant Practices
Under our equity-based grant practices, we make regular equity-based grants to eligible employees, including our NEOs, in the first quarter of the calendar year at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee. Under our current practice, the exercise price, in the case of any stock options, is the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the date of the grant. We also may award equity-based grants during the year to newly hired executive officers as part of their compensation package or to executives based on a promotion during the year. In the case of equity-based grants to newly hired employees who may be officers subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, including NEOs, the grants are authorized by the Committee.
Mitigation of Potential Risk in Pay Programs
The Compensation Committee has reviewed our compensation policies and practices and determined that there are no risks arising from our compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Dana. To avoid excessive risk-taking behaviors, Dana has put in place several mechanisms, including, but not limited to:
Stock ownership guidelines;
Caps on annual incentive payouts;
Financial performance-based annual incentive program;
Long-term incentive awards that are delivered primarily in the form of equity;
Mix of multiple types of awards and performance assessment periods;
Use of multiple metrics and performance periods to determine annual and long-term incentive payouts; and
Clawback and anti-hedging and pledging policies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CEO Employment Agreement
As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kamsickas has an executive employment agreement with the Company. Terms of the employment agreement can be found in the “CEO Employment Agreement” section below. No other NEO has an employment agreement.
Severance Arrangements
We administer an executive severance plan (Executive Severance Plan) in which our current NEOs participate, except for Mr. Kamsickas, whose severance compensation, other than for a change in control, is governed by his employment agreement. We also provide a double-trigger change in control severance plan (Change in Control Severance Plan) in which all of our NEOs participate. The Change in Control Severance Plan provides severance benefits as a result of a qualifying termination of employment after a change in control. These arrangements provide certainty to both Dana and the former executive as to their rights and obligations to each other, including restrictive covenants and non-compete agreements.
Executive Severance Plan
The Executive Severance Plan provides severance compensation to eligible executives, including our NEOs whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than by reason of death, disability or cause prior to a change in control. Severance compensation for our Chairman and CEO is provided in his employment agreement.
Change in Control Severance Plan
The Change in Control Severance Plan provides severance benefits to eligible executives whose employment is involuntary terminated as a result of a change in control. Each of our current NEOs is eligible to participate in the plan. We believe that such a plan helps to both retain and attract executives by reducing the personal uncertainty that arises from the possibility of a future business combination or restructuring. Dana believes that the Change in Control Severance Plan helps to increase shareholder value by encouraging executives to consider change in control transactions that are in the best interest of Dana and its shareholders, even if the transaction may ultimately result in termination of their employment. The plan contains a double-trigger provision (i.e., termination of employment after a change in control) for the vesting of equity awards and for distributing severance payments in the event of any change in control. No excise tax gross-up is provided under this plan.
Additional information on the terms and conditions of these plans as they relate to our NEOs is described in the section entitled “Potential Payments and Benefits upon Termination or Change in Control” below.
Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatments
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Generally, Section 162(m) limits the deductibility of compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1 million per year. Tax deductibility is only one of a number of factors the Compensation Committee may consider in evaluating the Company’s executive compensation program and its effectiveness in retaining, attracting, motivating and rewarding its senior leaders.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based payments under our equity-based plans in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Further information about this accounting treatment can be found in Notes 1 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Dana’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Compensation Committee Report
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) with management. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Retirement Plans
Dana maintains a non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan for certain executives, including the named executive officers. Under the terms of the supplemental executive retirement plan, Dana established unfunded notional defined contribution accounts subject to the claims of Dana’s general creditors. Each participant account is credited on an annual basis as follows: (a) fixed employer credits – equal to 3.5% of compensation; and (b) discretionary employer credits based on the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee and Company performance not to exceed 4% of compensation. The earnings rate for each participant is based on the rates of return (positive or negative) earned by the measurement funds selected by the participant as offered for the purposes of the plan. Participants are fully vested after five (5) years of service or upon death, disability or Change in Control.
Dana also maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan that allows certain executives to defer base pay and/or incentive pay into unfunded notional accounts subject to the claims of Dana’s general creditors.
CEO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
Mr. Kamsickas became President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of Dana effective August 11, 2015. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Kamsickas is entitled to the following:
Annual base salary;
Upon the achievement of target-level performance, an annual bonus;
Annual grants pursuant to the long-term incentive program under Dana’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan; and
All of Dana’s benefit plans or arrangements in effect from time to time with respect generally to senior executives.
Pursuant to his employment agreement and in lieu of his participation in the Executive Severance Plan, if Dana involuntarily terminates Mr. Kamsickas’ employment without cause (as defined below) and not due to disability, or he voluntarily terminates his employment for good reason (as defined below), subject to his execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, he would be entitled to (i) severance in an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of base salary, payable in regular payroll installments over the twenty-four (24) month period commencing on the date of termination, (ii) a bonus for the year of termination based on actual performance under the annual incentive program and a bonus for the calendar year after termination at the target amount, both payable when annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives, (iii) medical, dental, prescription drug, basic life insurance and employee assistance program benefits for twenty-four (24) months following the date of his termination subject to his payment of any required employee contributions consistent with those contributions required of active employees of Dana (and which benefits shall be coterminous with his entitlement to COBRA health benefits continuation), and (iv) outplacement benefits (having a cost not exceeding $50,000).
Pursuant to Mr. Kamsickas’ employment agreement, “cause” generally means (i) a willful and material misappropriation of any monies or assets or properties of Dana; (ii) a willful and material breach by him of the terms of his employment agreement that is demonstrably injurious to Dana and that, if capable of cure, has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice to him; or (iii) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere by him to, a felony or to any criminal offense involving his moral turpitude.
Pursuant to Mr. Kamsickas’ employment agreement, “good reason” generally means the occurrence of any of the following without his consent: (i) any material adverse change by Dana in his title, position, authority or reporting relationships with Dana; (ii) Dana’s requirement that he relocate to a location in excess of fifty (50) miles from Dana’s current office location or from any future office location acceptable to him; or (iii) any material breach by Dana of the employment agreement which is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Mr. Kamsickas to Dana, which notice shall specify the breach and the nature of conduct necessary to cure such breach.
For a period of twenty-four (24) months following his termination of employment, Mr. Kamsickas is prohibited from competing against Dana, soliciting its customers or employees, and working for a competitor. Mr. Kamsickas has also agreed that he will not disclose Dana’s confidential information.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
As discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above, Dana maintains both an Executive Severance Plan and Change in Control Severance Plan that apply to certain senior executives, including our named executive officers.
Set forth below is a description of each plan (applicable to eligible executive officers, including named executive officers). This is followed by tables relating to Messrs. Kamsickas, Kraus, Aghili, Liedberg and Valencia.
Executive Severance Plan
In the event any eligible executive officer, except our CEO (as he is entitled to payments under his employment agreement), is involuntarily terminated by Dana without cause (as defined below) and other than due to death or disability and such termination occurs prior to a Change in Control, Dana will pay the executive an amount equal to twelve (12) months of base salary, the cost of COBRA premiums for twelve (12) months, and an annual incentive plan (AIP) payment equal to a full year, subject to actual performance results. Additionally, the executive will receive payment or receive reimbursement for reasonable costs of outplacement services, subject to a maximum amount of $25,000.
Change in Control Severance Plan
The Change in Control Severance Plan (CIC Plan) is designed to provide severance benefits to all eligible executive officers whose employment is terminated as a result of a change in control of Dana. Dana’s current named executive officers are eligible to participate in the CIC Plan. Under the CIC Plan, any participant who incurs a qualifying termination (as defined below) will be entitled to receive two times the sum of the individual’s salary and target bonus (three times the sum of his or her salary and his or her target bonus, in the case of the CEO and CFO) for the year in which termination occurs. As of the termination date, each named executive officer will be entitled to: (i) the full amount of any earned but unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus a cash payment for all unused vacation time accrued; (ii) a pro rata portion of his or her annual target bonus for the year in which termination occurs; (iii) all equity awards vesting in full (with the target number of performance shares, if applicable) and becoming fully exercisable; (iv) a lump sum cash amount to allow, but not require, the employee to purchase additional coverage equal to a total of two years (three years for the CEO) of subsidized COBRA; and (v) reasonable costs of outplacement services not to exceed $25,000 ($50,000 for the CEO). The CIC Plan does not provide for any excise tax gross-up payments to executive officers in connection with a change in control and instead includes provisions requiring a cutback of the benefits payable under the plan if it would result in the executive receiving a greater payment on an after-tax basis (after accounting for any excise taxes that would otherwise be triggered). Payments under the CIC Plan are payable in a lump-sum subject to execution of a release of claims against Dana.
For purposes of the CIC Plan, “qualifying termination” generally means (i) an executive’s involuntary termination of employment with Dana during the 24-month period following a change in control other than a termination by reason of death, disability or for cause or (ii) an executive’s resignation of employment with Dana during such period for good reason.
Equity Award Provisions
Pursuant to the award agreements for the RSUs, if the recipient’s employment is terminated without cause or by reason of death, disability or normal retirement, all outstanding RSU awards are prorated based on the number of full months of employment on the termination date within each vesting period. In the event of a change in control and the recipient is still employed with Dana, RSUs become nonforfeitable and payable to the recipient. Pursuant to the award agreements for performance shares, if the recipient’s employment is terminated without cause or by reason of death, disability or normal retirement, the outstanding performance awards shall remain eligible to vest, prorated based on the number of full months of employment from the grant date through the termination date, and based on actual performance during the performance period. If, during the performance period, a change in control occurs and the recipient is still employed with Dana, then the recipient shall automatically vest a prorated portion of the performance shares (based on the number of full months the recipient is employed by Dana from the grant date and ending on the date of the change in control), assuming target performance for such purpose, subject to eligibility for full vesting in accordance with the CIC Plan described above.

CEO PAY RATIO
In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act requirement to disclose the ratio of the CEO’s annual total compensation to that of Dana’s global median employee, Dana has determined that the pay ratio for 2021 is 223:1. The ratio is based on the annual total compensation (determined in accordance with the Summary Compensation Table definition) of $47,624 which Dana paid in 2021 to its median employee, serving in a plant production line role in Lima, Ohio and the CEO’s total compensation for 2021 of $10,616,003 (in accordance with the same definition).
We elected to use the same median employee that we identified in 2020 to calculate our 2021 CEO pay ratio. In accordance with SEC rules, we determined that we had no changes to our compensation practices or employee demographics in 2021 that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure.
In 2020, identification of the median employee was originally based on our global employee population of approximately 31,269, of which 23,105 were employed outside of the U.S. We excluded non-U.S. locations reflecting approximately 755 employees in Thailand, 589 in Argentina, and 199 employees in Taiwan, and such exclusions reflected 5% of our total employee population. Such employee population was evaluated as of October 31, 2020. We established a compensation measure inclusive of all cash earnings paid in the 12-month period preceding October 31, 2020. For new hires that did not provide services to Dana during the entire measurement period, compensation was annualized. All non-U.S. compensation was converted to U.S. dollars based on applicable exchange rates as of December 31, 2020.
This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Given the rule’s flexibility, the method Dana used to determine the median employee and compensation measure may be different from its peers such that the pay ratio of its peers may not be comparable.
TRANSACTIONS OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WITH DANA
None of the executive officers of Dana or members of their immediate families or entities with which they have a position or relationship had any transactions with Dana since January 1, 2021.
For information on procedures and policies for reviewing transactions between Dana and its executive officers, their immediate family members and entities with which they have a position or relationship, see “Review of Transactions with Related Persons.”
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Ms. Gonzalez, as well as Messrs. Mack, McDonald and O’Connell, served as members of the Compensation Committee. No such member of the Compensation Committee is, or was during 2021, an officer or employee of Dana or any of its subsidiaries, nor was any such member formerly an officer of Dana or any of its subsidiaries. Moreover, no such member is an officer of a company in which an executive officer of Dana is a member of its compensation committee.

PROPOSAL I SUBMITTED FOR YOUR VOTE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Under our Bylaws, each director will hold office on the Board until the election and qualification of a successor at an annual meeting of shareholders or until his or her earlier resignation, disqualification, removal, death or other cause.
The members of our Board are elected by the holders of shares of common stock at each meeting of shareholders held for the purpose of electing directors. Our Board currently consists of twelve (12) directors. Rachel A. Gonzalez and Raymond E. Mabus, Jr., who both joined our Board in 2017, will not stand for reelection at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As a result, this year you are voting on ten (10) candidates for the Board of Directors. Based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated the following current Directors for election: Ernesto M. Hernández, Gary Hu, Brett M. Icahn, James K. Kamsickas, Virginia A. Kamsky, Bridget E. Karlin, Michael J. Mack, Jr., R. Bruce McDonald, Diarmuid B. O’Connell and Keith E. Wandell. Each of the nominees has consented to his or her nomination and has agreed to serve as a director of Dana, if elected.
The Board has adopted Director Selection and Retention Guidelines. Under these Guidelines, the Board identifies individuals qualified to become members of the Board and elects candidates to fill new or vacant positions. Potential candidates for Board positions are identified through a variety of means, including individuals identified by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the use of search firms, recommendations of Board members, recommendations of executive officers and properly submitted shareholder recommendations. Potential candidates for nomination as director candidates must provide written information about their qualifications and participate in interviews conducted by individual Board members. Candidates are evaluated using the guidelines described below to determine their qualifications based on the information supplied by the candidates and information obtained from other sources.
The Board will consider shareholder recommendations for directors that meet the criteria set forth below. The Board makes no distinctions in evaluating nominees for positions on the Board based on whether or not a nominee is recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish Dana to consider their recommendations for nominees for the position of director should submit their recommendations in writing to Dana Incorporated, 3939 Technology Drive, Maumee, Ohio 43537, Attention: Corporate Secretary, using the same deadline for nominations under our advance notice bylaw set forth in the ‘Questions and Answers’ section above.
Dana has established criteria it considers when identifying nominees for director. Criteria for assessing nominees include a potential nominee's ability to represent the long-term interests of Dana. Minimum qualifications for a director nominee are experience in those areas that the Board determines are necessary and appropriate to meet the needs of Dana, including leadership positions in public companies, large or middle market businesses, or not-for-profit, governmental, professional or educational organizations. For those proposed director nominees who meet the minimum qualifications, the Board assesses the proposed nominee's specific qualifications, evaluates his or her independence (including, but not limited to, independence related to Dana, other Board members and shareholders), and considers other factors, including skills, business segment representation, geographic location, diversity, standards of integrity, memberships on other boards (with a special focus on director interlocks), and ability and willingness to commit to serving on the Board for an extended period of time and to dedicate adequate time and attention to the affairs of Dana as necessary to properly discharge his or her duties. Additionally, the Board considers whether each nominee would be considered a “financial expert” or “financially literate” as described in applicable listing standards, legislation and our Audit Committee guidelines.
Additionally, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Standards of Business Conduct for Members of the Board of Directors, Related-Party Transactions Policy and Director Independence Standards are considered prior to making a recommendation to the Board for approval of a nominee. Each of these documents is available on Dana’s website at www.dana.com.
DANA’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our Board of Directors has established guidelines that it follows in matters of corporate governance. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines describe our corporate governance practices and address corporate governance issues such as Board composition and responsibilities, compensation of directors and executive succession planning. The following summary provides highlights of those guidelines. A complete copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available online at http://www.dana.com.
Role of Board
The business of Dana is conducted by its employees, managers and corporate officers led by our CEO, with oversight from the Board. The Board selects the CEO and works with the CEO to elect/appoint other corporate officers who are charged with managing the business of Dana. The Board has the responsibility of overseeing, counseling and directing the corporate officers to ensure that the long-term interests of Dana and its shareholders are being served. The Board and the corporate officers recognize that the long-term interests of Dana and its shareholders are advanced when they take into account the concerns of employees, customers, suppliers and communities.
Responsibilities of the Board
The basic responsibility of our directors is to exercise their reasonable business judgment on behalf of Dana. In discharging this obligation, directors rely on, among other things, Dana’s corporate officers, outside advisors and auditors.
Pursuant to the Board’s general oversight responsibilities, among other things, the Board:
Evaluates the CEO’s performance and reviews Dana’s succession plan for the CEO and other officers;
Reviews the long-range business plans of Dana and monitors performance relative to achievement of those plans;
Considers long-range strategic issues and risks to Dana; and
Approves policies of corporate conduct that continue to promote and maintain the integrity of Dana.
Executive Sessions of the Board
Executive sessions of our non-management directors are held, without Dana management, in conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board meeting and between such Board meetings as requested, from time to time, by our Lead Independent Director or other non-management directors. These sessions are chaired by our Lead Independent Director.
Access to Management and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our non-management directors may meet with senior management, other employees and the independent registered public accounting firm at any time, either separately or jointly, as they deem appropriate. Senior personnel of Dana and of the registered public accounting firm regularly attend portions of our Board and Committee meetings, and other personnel may be invited to attend particular meetings where appropriate.
Board Performance Assessment
The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the self-evaluation process. An annual report is made to the Board on the assessment of the performance of the Board and its committees. The assessment evaluates the contribution of the Board and its committees to Dana and specifically focuses on areas in which the Board believes it or its committees could improve.
Board Leadership Structure
Under Dana’s Bylaws, the positions of Chairman of the Board and the CEO may each be held separately, or together by one person. The Board’s analysis as to whether the two positions should be combined or held separately takes into account many factors including the specific needs of Dana and the Board, the strong role of the Lead Independent Director, the specific needs of Dana, and the best interests of Dana’s shareholders. While the Board had maintained a separation of the Chairman and CEO positions since 2011, in 2019 the Board determined, after careful consideration during its annual evaluation of its leadership structure, that combining the two positions would enhance Dana’s governance structure and best serve Dana’s strategic objectives.
39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to serving as Dana’s President and CEO since August 2015, Mr. Kamsickas was also appointed to the Chairman position in December 2019, which reflects the Board’s confidence in his ability to provide oversight and to most effectively drive Dana to achieve its strategic objectives through unified leadership. The Board determined that combining the two positions provides Dana with distinct advantages, including:
Leveraging Mr. Kamsickas’s deep institutional knowledge and industry experience from his service as CEO;
Providing critical leadership, organizational stability, and a strong bridge between the Board and the management team; and
Driving efficient decision making and enhanced accountability.
Importantly, the Board also determined that having Mr. Wandell, serve as Lead Independent Director, establishes an effective balance to the combined role of Chairman and CEO.
Dana’s Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that when the Board determines that the Chairman and CEO positions should be combined, the Board should also have a Lead Independent Director to complement the Chairman’s role, and to serve as the principal liaison between the Chairman and the independent Directors. The duties and responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include: (i) presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; (ii) serving as the liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors; (iii) coordinating the activities of the independent directors; (iv) developing the agenda for the executive sessions and other meetings of the independent directors; (v) advising the Chairman regarding the timing, scheduling, structuring, and the agenda of Board meetings; (vi) consulting with and providing feedback to the Chairman regarding matters discussed in executive sessions and regarding other Board matters as appropriate; and (vii) advising the Chairman regarding the flow of information from management to the Board. The duties of the Lead Independent Director help ensure the effective and independent leadership of our Board. Dana’s Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the Lead Independent Director be elected annually, which helps to ensure that the Board evaluates Dana’s Board leadership structure at least annually.
Succession Planning
A key responsibility of our Board is ensuring that an effective process is in place to provide continuity of leadership over the long term at all levels of Dana. Each year, succession planning reviews are held at every significant organizational level of Dana, culminating in a full review of senior leadership talent. During this review, the Board discusses future candidates for senior leadership positions, succession timing for those positions and development plans for the highest-potential candidates. This process ensures continuity of leadership over the long term, and it forms the basis on which Dana makes ongoing leadership assignments.
RISK OVERSIGHT
Dana maintains a risk management program overseen by our Executive Leadership Team. In particular, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer as well as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary have responsibility for this area. In addition, our Business Unit Presidents and functional leads oversee strategic and operational risks. Risks are identified and prioritized by our management, and each of these risks is reviewed by the Audit Committee or the entire Board. For example, strategic risks are overseen by the entire Board and financial risks are overseen by our Audit Committee. Management regularly reports on each such risk to our entire Board or Audit Committee. Additional review or reporting on risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the Board or any committee. Also, our Compensation Committee periodically reviews the most important risks to ensure that compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk-taking and has implemented several mechanisms to avoid such risk-taking behavior, as detailed in the “Mitigation of Potential Risk in Pay Programs” and “Clawback Provisions” sections above.

Chair
Audit Committee. As provided in its Board-adopted written charter, this committee consists solely of members who are outside directors and who meet the independence and experience requirements of applicable rules of the NYSE and the SEC with respect to audit committee members. This committee is responsible, among other things, for providing assistance to the Board by overseeing: (i) the integrity of Dana's financial statements; (ii) Dana's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence; (iv) the performance of Dana's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and (v) the preparation of the “Audit Committee Report” found in this proxy statement. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of those independence requirements established from time to time by the Board and the SEC and the listing standards of the NYSE (see “Director Independence” section in this proxy statement). Our Board has determined that Messrs. Mack and McDonald are each an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. A current copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available to security holders on Dana's website at www.dana.com. The Audit Committee met six (6) times in 2021.
Compensation Committee. This committee establishes and evaluates Dana's executive compensation policies and programs, administers Dana's 401(k), stock, incentive and retirement plans and monitors compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the documentation and administration of Dana's employee benefit plans, among other things. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent, pursuant to independence requirements established from time to time by the Board and the listing standards of the NYSE (see the “Director Independence” section in this proxy statement). A current copy of the charter of the Compensation Committee is available to security holders on Dana's website at www.dana.com. The Compensation Committee met nine (9) times in 2021. See the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above for more information.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. This committee monitors the effectiveness of the Board and oversees corporate governance issues. Among its various other duties, this committee reviews and recommends to the full Board candidates to become Board members, develops and administers performance criteria for members of the Board, and oversees matters relating to the size of the Board, its committee structure and assignments and the conduct and frequency of Board meetings. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent, pursuant to independence requirements established from time to time by the Board and the listing standards of the NYSE (see the “Director Independence” section in this proxy statement). A current copy of the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is available to security holders on Dana's website at www.dana.com.

A current copy of the charter of the Technology and Sustainability Committee is available to security holders on Dana's website at www.dana.com. The Technology and Sustainability Committee met five (5) times in 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Board and Committee Meetings. There were eleven (11) meetings of the Board and twenty-six (26) meetings of the various committees of the Board. All directors attended each of the meetings held by the Board and all the committees of the Board on which the respective directors served. Dana expects all of its directors to attend the virtual Annual Meeting except in cases of illness, emergency or other reasonable grounds for non-attendance. All members of our Board of Directors attended our Annual Meeting last year.
NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD
The non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. Mr. Wandell is the Lead Independent Director at such sessions. Interested parties may communicate directly with Mr. Wandell or with the non-management directors as a group by sending written correspondence, delivered via United States mail or courier service, to: Corporate Secretary, Dana Incorporated, 3939 Technology Drive, Maumee, Ohio, 43537, Attn: Non-Management Directors. Alternatively, shareholders may send communications to the full Board by sending written correspondence, delivered via United States mail or courier service, to: Corporate Secretary, Dana Incorporated, 3939 Technology Drive, Maumee, Ohio, 43537, Attn: Full Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ current practice is that the Corporate Secretary may relay proper communications received to the Chairman of the Board.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board of Directors has determined that the eleven non-management directors are independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. Our Board determines whether each director qualifies as an “independent director” when first elected to the Board and annually thereafter. To assist in making these determinations of independence, Dana adopted categorical standards set forth in our Director Independence Standards, a current copy of which is available to security holders on Dana's website at www.dana.com.
Under our Director Independence Standards, if a director has a relationship with Dana (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Dana), the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether the relationship will interfere with the exercise of the director’s independence from Dana and our management, taking into account, among other things, the significance of the relationship to Dana, to the director, and to the persons or organizations with which the director is affiliated.
The Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors, constituting a majority of our Board of Directors, meet the categorical standards for independence and that such directors have no material relationship with Dana (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with Dana) other than as a director: Rachel A. Gonzalez, Ernesto M. Hernández, Gary Hu, Brett M. Icahn, Virginia A. Kamsky, Bridget E. Karlin, Raymond E. Mabus, Jr., Michael J. Mack, Jr., R. Bruce McDonald, Diarmuid B. O’Connell, and Keith E. Wandell.
Review of Transactions with Related Persons
Dana has procedures and policies for reviewing transactions between Dana and its directors and executive officers, their immediate family members and entities with which they have a position or relationship. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director or executive officer.
Annually, each director and executive officer is required to complete a director, director nominee and executive officer questionnaire, and each non-management director is required to complete an independence certification. Both of these documents elicit information about related person transactions. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors annually review the transactions and relationships disclosed in the questionnaire and certification, prior to the Board of Directors making a formal determination regarding the directors' independence. To assist them in their review, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors use the categorical standards found in Dana's Director Independence Standards, as discussed above.
In order to monitor transactions that occur between the annual reviews, the independence certification also obligates the directors to immediately notify our General Counsel in writing if they discover that any statement in the certification was untrue or incomplete when made, or if any statement in the certification becomes subsequently untrue or incomplete. Likewise, under our Standards of Business Conduct for the Board of Directors, any situation that involves, or may involve, a conflict of interest with Dana is required to be promptly disclosed to the Chairman of the Board, who will consult with the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Executive officers are bound by the Standards of Business Conduct for Employees.
Our Board has adopted a Related-Party Transactions Policy that sets forth standards with respect to related party transactions with Dana or our subsidiaries. A current copy of this policy is available to shareholders on Dana’s website at www.dana.com.
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the Related-Party Transactions Policy, (i) a director, nominee for director or executive officer of Dana (since the beginning of the last fiscal year), (ii) any beneficial holder of greater than five percent (5%) of Dana’s voting securities or (iii) any immediate family member of any of the foregoing, are required to seek the prior approval of the Audit Committee of any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (i) the aggregate amount involved will or may reasonably be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (ii) Dana, or any of its subsidiaries is a participant, and (iii) any related party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity).
In making its determination, the Audit Committee considers such factors as (i) the extent of the related party’s interest in the interested transaction, (ii) if applicable, the availability of other sources of comparable products or services, (iii) whether the terms of the interested transaction are fair to Dana and no less favorable than terms generally available in unaffiliated third-party transactions under like circumstances, (iv) whether the interested transaction would impair the independence of an outside director, (v) the benefit to Dana, and (vi) whether the interested transaction is material, taking into account: (a) the importance of the interest to the related party, (b) the relationship of the related party to the interested transaction and of the related parties to each other, (c) the dollar amount involved, and (d) the significance of the transaction to Dana’s investors in light of all the circumstances.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Board may determine certain interested transactions deemed to be pre-approved, even if the aggregate amount involved will exceed $120,000. Those pre-approved transactions are described in the Related-Party Transactions Policy.
All interested transactions, except certain pre-approved transactions, must be disclosed in Dana’s applicable SEC filings as, and to the extent, required by applicable SEC rules and regulations.
The questionnaire, certification, Director Independence Standards, Standards of Business Conduct for the Board of Directors, Standards of Business Conduct for Employees, and Related-Party Transactions Policy are all in writing.
Transactions with Icahn Group
In January 2022, Dana entered into a director appointment and nominating agreement, dated January 7, 2022 (the “Icahn Agreement”), with Mr. Carl C. Icahn and the entities listed therein, (collectively, the “Icahn Group”), pursuant to which Dana agreed to, on or prior to January 7, 2022 (i) increase the size of the Board of Directors to twelve (12) directors; and (ii) appoint Gary Hu and Brett M. Icahn, (collectively, the “Icahn Designees”) to the Board of Directors to fill the resulting vacancies, with such appointments effective on January 7, 2022. In addition, Dana agreed to include each Icahn Designee as part of our slate of nominees for election to the Board of Directors at the 2022 annual meeting.
From and after the date of the Icahn Agreement, so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board, without the approval of the Icahn Designees who are members of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will not increase its size above twelve (12) directors prior to the 2022 annual meeting and eleven (11) directors after the 2022 annual meeting. In addition, the Icahn Group will be entitled, in the event any Icahn Designee resigns or for any reason fails to serve or is not serving as a director (subject to exceptions set forth in the Icahn Agreement, including as a result of such director not being nominated by us to stand for election at an annual meeting subsequent to the 2022 annual meeting or the termination of the Icahn Group’s designation rights with respect to such director in accordance with the Icahn Agreement), to designate a replacement for appointment to the Board on the terms set forth in the Icahn Agreement.
So long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board of Directors, the Icahn Group will also have certain rights with respect to newly created committees as set forth in the Icahn Agreement. In addition, any Board of Directors consideration of appointment and employment of named executive officers, mergers, acquisitions of material assets, dispositions of material assets, or similar extraordinary transactions, such consideration, and voting with respect thereto, will take place only at the full Board of Directors level or in committees of which one of the Icahn Designees is a member.
If at any time the Icahn Group ceases to hold a “net long position”, as defined in the Icahn Agreement, in at least (i) 8,654,048 shares of our common stock, one of the Icahn Designees will, and the Icahn Group will cause one Icahn Designee to, promptly resign from the Board of Directors; and (ii) 4,327,024 shares of our common stock, each of the Icahn Designees will, and the Icahn Group will cause each such Icahn Designee to, promptly resign from the Board of Directors.
So long as the Icahn Group holds “a net long position”, as defined in the Icahn Agreement, in at least 7,211,705 shares of our common stock, we will not adopt a Rights Plan, as defined in the Icahn Agreement, with an “Acquiring Person” beneficial ownership threshold below 20.0% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock, unless (x) such Rights Plan provides that, if such Rights Plan is not ratified by our stockholders within 270 days of such Rights Plan being adopted, such Rights Plan shall automatically expire and (y) the “Acquiring Person” definition of such Rights Plan exempts the Icahn Group up to a beneficial ownership of 19.95% of the then-outstanding common shares.
44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Icahn Agreement also includes other customary voting, standstill and non-disparagement provisions. Absent an uncured breach of the material provisions of the Icahn Agreement by us, the standstill restrictions on the Icahn Group will remain in effect until the later of (i) the end of the 2022 annual meeting and (ii) such date as no Icahn Designee is on the Board of Directors and the Icahn Group no longer has any right to designate a replacement (including if the Icahn Group has irrevocably waived such right in writing).
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the form and amount of non-employee Director compensation. In determining the recommendation for Director compensation, the Compensation Committee considers feedback from our Chairman and CEO, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, and information provided by Mercer.
The Compensation Committee elected not to make any changes to non-employee Director compensation for 2021. The table below illustrates the compensation structure for the year. Employee Directors receive no additional compensation for their Board service. In addition to the compensation described below, each Director is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred for travel and attendance related to meetings of the Board of Directors or its committees.

This annual grant, equivalent to 5,877 RSUs was made pursuant to the Plan on February 10, 2021 and vested in full on February 10, 2022. Each grant is subject to accelerated vesting upon death, disability, reaching mandatory retirement age (age 73) or change in control.
Holding Requirement. The Compensation Committee maintains share ownership requirements for non-employee Directors equal to five times the annual cash retainer of $110,000, or the equivalent of $550,000 worth of common stock. Directors must meet this requirement within five years of becoming a Director of the Company. In determining whether a Director has met his or her individual ownership target, the Company considers shares owned by the Director and outstanding equity awards held by the Director, including restricted stock units subject to vesting conditions. All of our Directors had either met their stock ownership requirements in 2021 or are on track to achieve their ownership requirement within the five-year time frame. In addition, Messrs. Hernández, Hu and Icahn joined the Board in January 2022 and will similarly be subject to the ownership requirement.
Deferred Compensation. Each non-employee director has the opportunity to elect to defer a percentage of the annual cash retainer into restricted stock units. The RSUs are credited as of the last day of each quarter based on the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the dollar amount of the retainer for that quarter which is being deferred by (ii) the closing price per share on the last trading day of that quarter (with the result being rounded down to the nearest whole number of RSUs). The RSUs are fully vested on the date of grant and each RSU represents the right to receive one share of our common stock (or, at our election, an equivalent cash amount) on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the date that the director terminates service as a non-employee director or (ii) the date on which a change in control occurs.

PROPOSAL II SUBMITTED FOR YOUR VOTE

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Dodd-Frank Act enables our shareholders to vote on an advisory (non-binding) basis on our compensation policies and practices and the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules. Since 2011, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of Dana’s shareholders, has elected to hold an annual advisory vote on Dana’s executive compensation practices.
As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (CD&A) above, the overall objectives of Dana’s executive compensation program are to attract, motivate, reward and retain talent. We believe that in order to achieve our objectives, our compensation and benefits must be competitive with executive compensation arrangements generally provided to other executive officers at similar levels at other companies where we compete for talent. The various components of Dana’s executive compensation program are designed to:
Align management incentives and shareholder interests;
Motivate executive management and employees to focus on business goals over short and long-term horizons; and
Attract and retain executive talent.
We believe that Dana’s executive compensation programs have been effective at incentivizing the achievement of positive results, appropriately aligning pay and performance and in enabling Dana to attract and retain very talented executives within our industry. We encourage you to read our CD&A contained within this proxy statement for more detailed discussion of our compensation policies, practices and procedures.
As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our executive compensation policies and practices as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you as a shareholder the opportunity to express your views on our fiscal year 2021 executive compensation policies and procedures for our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the policies and procedures described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Dana Incorporated (Dana) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Dana’s named executive officers, as disclosed in Dana’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in Item 402 of Regulation S-K (including the Compensation Discussion & Analysis, the compensation tables and narrative discussion).
Although this is an advisory vote which will not be binding on the Compensation Committee or the Board, we will carefully review the results of the vote. The Compensation Committee will consider our shareholders’ concerns and take them into account when designing future executive compensation programs.
DANA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THIS ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL III SUBMITTED FOR YOUR VOTE

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of Dana has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 and recommends that the shareholders vote for ratification of such appointment. PwC has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 1915.
As a matter of good corporate governance, the selection of PwC is being submitted to the shareholders for ratification. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Even if PwC is ratified as the independent registered public accounting firm by the shareholders, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of Dana and its shareholders. Representatives of PwC are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire. The representatives also are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy
Our Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair PwC’s independence. The Audit Committee annually determines which audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other permissible non-audit services to pre-approve and creates a list of the pre-approved services and pre-approved cost levels. Unless a type of service to be provided by PwC has received general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee or the Audit Committee Chairman or a member whom he or she has designated. Any services exceeding pre-approved cost levels also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Management monitors the services rendered by PwC and the fees paid for the audit, audit-related, tax and other pre-approved services and reports to the Audit Committee on these matters at least quarterly. We did not approve the incurrence of any fees pursuant to the exceptions to the pre-approval requirements set forth in applicable SEC disclosure rules.
The information contained in the Audit Committee Report is not deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed for purposes of the Exchange Act, will not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating the document by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act except to the extent that Dana specifically incorporates such information by reference, and will not be otherwise deemed filed under such acts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee oversees Dana's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors and is comprised of all outside directors who are independent within the meaning of, and meet the experience requirements of, the applicable rules of the NYSE and the SEC. In addition to its duties regarding oversight of Dana's financial reporting process, including as it relates to the integrity of the financial statements, the independent auditors' qualifications and independence and the performance of the independent auditors and Dana's internal audit function, the Audit Committee also has sole authority to appoint or replace the independent auditors and is directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors as provided in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In conducting its annual evaluation of the independent auditors and deciding to re-appoint the independent auditors, the Audit Committee considered, in addition to the firm’s independence and integrity:
The independent auditors’ competence and its compliance with regulations;
The business acumen, value-added benefit, continuity and consistency, and technical and core competency provided by the engagement team;
The effectiveness of the independent auditors’ processes, including its quality control, timeliness and responsiveness, and communication and interaction with management; and
The firm’s efforts toward efficiency, including with respect to process improvements and fees.
The Audit Committee periodically considers whether an independent auditor change would be advisable. Pursuant to this review, the Audit Committee believes that PwC’s continuous relationship with Dana provides PwC with valuable institutional knowledge about Dana’s operations, policies, and practices and that changing audit firms would require significant time commitments and potentially distract Dana’s management from its focus on financial reporting and internal controls. Because of PwC’s lead audit partner rotating every five years, as presently required, along with other customary auditor staffing changes, the Audit Committee believes that PwC provides fresh audit perspective without the incremental costs associated with a change in audit firms.
The Audit Committee is involved in the selection of the independent auditor’s lead audit partner every five years, including in identification of candidates, review of qualifications, candidate interviews and review of plans for successor partner transition.
The Audit Committee Charter, which was adopted and approved by the Board, specifies the scope of the Audit Committee's responsibilities and the manner in which it carries out those responsibilities. Management has primary responsibility for the financial statements, reporting processes, and system of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, among other things, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements included in Dana's annual report on Form 10-K with management and the independent auditors, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, reasonableness of significant judgments, and clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and a discussion of related controls, procedures, compliance, and other matters.
Audit Committee discussions with the independent auditors included those required under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, including Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, Communications With Audit Committees. Further, the Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB for independent auditor communications with Audit Committees concerning independence. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors their independence from management and Dana, and reviewed and considered whether the provision of non-audit services and receipt of certain compensation by the independent auditors are compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence. In addition, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors all critical accounting policies and practices to be used.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above and such other considerations as the Audit Committee determined to be appropriate, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in Dana's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC.
