Executive Transitions

As previously disclosed by Dana in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2026, Dana’s Board of Directors (the “Dana Board”) appointed Byron S. Foster to succeed R.

Compensation Arrangements

In connection with his appointment as CEO, Mr. Foster has entered into a letter agreement, dated June 11, 2026, with Dana, effective as of July 1, 2026 (the “Foster Letter Agreement”). The Foster Letter Agreement provides that Mr. Foster’s initial base salary will be $1,000,000 and that he will be eligible to participate in Dana’s annual incentive program, with a target annual incentive opportunity equal to 150% of his base salary. Mr. Foster will also be eligible to participate in Dana’s regular annual long-term incentive program for senior executives, beginning with the 2027 grant cycle, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable plan and award agreements. Additionally, Mr. Foster will continue to participate in the Dana Incorporated Executive Severance Plan and the Dana Incorporated Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as well as Dana’s employee benefits plans. The foregoing description of the Foster Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Foster Letter Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with his service as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Dana Board, Mr. McDonald has entered into a letter agreement, dated June 11, 2026, with Dana, effective as of July 1, 2026 (the “McDonald Letter Agreement”). Subject to earlier termination or extension by the parties, the term of the McDonald Letter Agreement ends December 31, 2028. Mr. McDonald’s base salary will be $700,000 and he will be eligible to participate in Dana’s annual incentive program, with a target annual incentive opportunity equal to 100% of his base salary. Mr. McDonald will also be eligible to receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units (the “RSU Award”) pursuant to the Dana Incorporated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”), with an aggregate target grant date fair market value of $5,000,000. The RSU Award will vest 50% on December 31, 2027 and 50% on December 31, 2028. Mr. McDonald will continue to participate in the Dana Incorporated Executive Severance Plan and the Dana Incorporated Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan, as well as Dana’s employee benefits plans.
