    We may fail to consummate or realize the value of dispositions and other strategic initiatives and such transactions and initiatives may be disruptive to our operations and adversely impact our results.

    We announced on November 25, 2024 strategic initiatives that included initiating the sale process for our Off-Highway business, however, there can be no assurance that the sale process for our Off-Highway business will result in a transaction. Factors that could cause this event not to occur include, but are not limited to, a failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, a deterioration in the Dana's business or prospects, adverse developments in key markets, adverse developments in the U.S. or global capital markets, credit markets or economies generally or a failure to execute a sale of the Off-Highway business on acceptable terms. Moreover, any sale and separation process, including complex carve-out and transition activities, may be time consuming and disruptive to Dana's business operations, could divert the attention of management and the Board from Dana's business, could impair Dana's ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees, could impact Dana's relationships with suppliers and/or customers, could negatively affect Dana's credit ratings and ability raise future capital and could expose Dana to potential litigation in connection with the sale process and the standalone business. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, our results may be adversely affected.

    Provisions in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage a takeover attempt.

    Certain provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Dana. Such provisions, including those governing the nomination of directors, limiting who may call special stockholders' meetings and eliminating stockholder action by written consent, may make it more difficult for other persons, without the approval of our board of directors, to make a tender offer or otherwise acquire substantial amounts of common stock or to launch other takeover attempts that a stockholder might consider to be in such stockholder's best interest.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
