Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: The transaction has a $0 value and is immaterial against Dana Inc.'s $2.54 billion market capitalization.
• Ownership Concentration: The director's post-transaction ownership of 2,575 shares represents a very small fraction (0.002%) of the total shares outstanding, indicating low ownership concentration from this grant.
• Dilution Impact: The grant of 2,575 shares represents a potential dilution of only 0.002% of the 131.15 million shares outstanding. This is a negligible impact on existing shareholders.
• Transaction Significance: The transaction is classified as low significance. It is a non-cash award, represents a tiny fraction of the company's market cap and outstanding shares, and is a common form of director compensation.
