Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
     As previously reported, Dana Credit Corporation (DCC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dana, has outstanding notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $399 million (the DCC Notes). An Ad Hoc Committee of Noteholders (the Ad Hoc Committee), representing the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the DCC Notes, has asserted that the DCC Notes became immediately due and payable as a result of the commencement of Dana’s bankruptcy. DCC and the Ad Hoc Committee have been negotiating the terms of a forbearance agreement under which, among other things, DCC will continue to market its lease and other portfolio assets and use the sale proceeds to make payments to forbearing holders of the DCC Notes.
     The terms of the forbearance agreement which are currently being discussed are set forth in the Dana Credit Corporation Restructuring Proposal that is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. Dana does not undertake to furnish any updates to these terms, or to any drafts of the proposed forbearance agreement, until such time, if any, as a definitive agreement with respect to this matter has been executed.
