Dana secures $500 million delayed draw loan to redeem 8.500% 2031 notes
Dana entered into an amendment to its credit agreement providing a new $500.0 million senior secured delayed draw term loan, which it expects to draw in full to redeem all outstanding 8.500% Senior Notes due 2031 on or around July 31, 2026. The redemption price is 104.250% of principal plus accrued interest, so shareholders should note the refinancing cost and the new secured debt that ranks ahead of unsecured holders.
