(b) Tender Offer of the Purchaser.
-----------------------------
This Statement relates to the tender offer by Delta
Acquisition Corp. ("Offeror"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ArvinMeritor, Inc.
("ArvinMeritor"), to purchase (i) all outstanding Shares, and (ii) unless and
until validly redeemed by the board of directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors" or the "Board"), the Rights, at a price of $15.00 per Share, net to
the seller in cash, without interest. The tender offer is being made on the
terms and subject to the conditions described in the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO (together with the exhibits thereto, as amended the "Schedule TO"),
filed by ArvinMeritor and the Offeror with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on July 9, 2003. The value of the consideration offered,
together with all of the terms and conditions applicable to the tender offer, is
referred to in this Schedule 14D-9 as the "Offer." The Schedule TO states that,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, following
completion of the Offer, and in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation
Act (the "VSCA"), ArvinMeritor intends to cause the merger of the Offeror with
and into the Company (the "Proposed Merger," and together with the Offer and any

Item 3. Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.
---------------------------------------------------------
Except as described in this Statement or in Annex A hereto, to
the knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Statement, there are no
material agreements, arrangements or understandings, or any actual or potential
conflicts of interest, between the Company or its affiliates and (i) the
Company's executive officers, directors or affiliates or (ii) the Offeror,
ArvinMeritor or their respective executive officers, directors or affiliates.
The information set forth in Annex A hereto is incorporated herein by this
reference.
(a) Arrangements with Executive Officers and Directors of
-----------------------------------------------------
Dana.
----
The Company's directors and executive officers have entered
into or participated in, as applicable, the various agreements and arrangements
discussed below. In the case of each plan or agreement discussed below in which
the term "change-of-control" applies, the consummation of the Offer would
constitute a change-of-control.
Cash Consideration Payable Pursuant to the Offer. If the
------------------------------------------------
Company's directors and executive officers were to tender any Shares they own
for purchase pursuant to the Offer, they would receive the same cash
consideration on the same terms and conditions as the other shareholders of the
Company. As of July 10, 2003, the Company's directors and executive officers
beneficially owned in the aggregate 325,966 Shares (excluding options to
purchase Shares, restricted stock units, stock units granted under the Company's
Additional Compensation Plan and Directors' Deferred Fee Plan, and shares of
restricted stock). If the directors and executive officers were to tender all of
their Shares for purchase pursuant to the Offer and those Shares were accepted
for purchase and purchased by the Offeror, the directors and officers would
receive an aggregate of $4,889,490 in cash. As discussed below in Item 4(d), to
the knowledge of the Company, none of the Company's executive officers,
directors, affiliates or subsidiaries currently intends to tender Shares held of
record or beneficially owned by such person for purchase pursuant to the Offer.
As of July 10, 2003, the Company's directors and executive
officers held options to purchase 3,828,775 Shares, 1,874,475 of which were
vested and exercisable as of that date, with exercise prices ranging from $15.33
to $60.09 and an aggregate weighted average exercise price of $34.18 per
Share. Upon a change-of-control of the Company, 1,954,300 unvested options to
purchase Shares held by directors and executive officers will fully vest and
become exercisable. Also, 386,864 unvested shares of restricted stock and
restricted stock units will fully vest and no longer be subject to
forfeiture in the event that there is a termination of the employment of the
grantees of such restricted stock by the Company following a change-of-control
in circumstances that would entitle the grantee to a severance benefit under his
or her change-of-control agreement, or, if the grantee is not a party to a
change-of-control agreement, in the event that the grantee's employment is
terminated by the Company or its successor following a change-of-control for any
reason. In addition, 104,842 vested restricted stock units will be paid out in
Shares in the event that the grantee's employment is terminated by the
Company or its successor for any reason following a change-of-control.
Employment Agreements. The Company's Chief Executive Officer,
---------------------
President and Chief Operating Officer, Joseph M. Magliochetti, has an employment
agreement with the
-2-
Company. The term of his agreement is three years, with an
automatic one-year extension at the end of each year to maintain the full three-
year term unless either party gives notice not to extend the termination date,
or unless the agreement is terminated earlier by Mr. Magliochetti's death or
disability, by the Company for "cause" (as defined in his agreement), or,
following a change-of-control, by Mr. Magliochetti for "good reason" (as defined
in his agreement). The employment agreement provides that while Mr. Magliochetti
is employed by the Company, his base salary may be increased but not decreased.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee") approves his base salary annually. His base salary for the calendar
year 2003 is $970,000.
During his period of employment, Mr. Magliochetti is entitled
to participate in the Company's Additional Compensation Plan (the "ACP") and in
the Company's various employee benefit plans. In the event of a
change-of-control of the Company, he will be entitled to continue as a
participant in the Additional Compensation Plan during the remainder of the term
of his employment agreement, the minimum annual bonus award to which he will be
entitled during that period will be equal to 50% of his base salary, and his
awards will be payable in cash (not deferrable). If his employment is terminated
following a change-of-control, any previously deferred awards under the ACP will
be paid on an accelerated basis.
If Mr. Magliochetti is terminated by the Company without
"cause" (as defined in his agreement) or if, after a change-of-control of the
Company, he terminates his employment due to a "good reason" constructive
termination (as defined in his agreement), he will be entitled, until the
earliest of (i) the end of the term of the agreement, (ii) the date that is
three years after the termination or (iii) the date that he turns 65 years of
age (the "Termination Period"), to receive monthly compensation equal to his
highest average monthly compensation (reduced by the amounts payable to him
under any severance plan or policy of the Company), to continue his
participation under the Company's employee benefit plans and to receive credit
for service during the Termination Period. He will also be entitled to a
lump-sum payment in cash in an amount equal to the sum of (i) his accrued but
unpaid compensation, (ii) a pro-rata bonus for the portion of the fiscal year in
which the termination occurs that follows the date of termination and (iii) any
previously deferred compensation, including earnings and interest thereon. If
such termination of employment follows a change-of-control, he will immediately
receive such monthly compensation in a lump sum (discounted to the present
value) and any awards previously deferred under the ACP will be paid out.
If any excise tax is imposed under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended ("Section 4999"), on payments received by Mr.
Magliochetti as a result of a change-of-control of the Company, the Company will
pay him an amount that, after applicable taxes, is equal to the amount of the
excise tax.
The retirement benefit payable to Mr. Magliochetti under his
employment agreement is described in Annex A hereto under the heading "Pension
Plans," and is incorporated herein by reference. The pension and retirement
arrangements applicable to the Named Executive Officers (as defined below) are
described more fully in Annex A hereto under the heading "Pension Plans."
-3-
Under his employment agreement, Mr. Magliochetti has agreed
not to disclose any confidential information about the Company to others while
employed by the Company or thereafter and not to engage in competition with the
Company for three years following his termination of employment (unless his
employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by him for "good
reason" following a change-of-control of the Company). In addition, if, during
the period that payments in respect of Mr. Magliochetti's supplemental pension
are being made (as discussed in Annex A hereto under the heading "Pension
Plans"), he engages in competition with the Company (unless his employment is
terminated by the Company without "cause" or by him for "good reason" following
a change-of-control of the Company), the Company may cease making such payments.
William J. Carroll, President - Automotive Systems Group,
Marvin A. Franklin, III, President - Dana International and Global Initiatives,
Robert C. Richter, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Bernard N.
Cole, President - Heavy Vehicle Technologies & Systems Group (together with Mr.
Magliochetti, the "Named Executive Officers"), along with three other executive
officers of the Company, each have change-of-control agreements with the Company
that have the same material terms as Mr. Magliochetti's agreement, as described
above, except that they (i) do not provide an additional retirement benefit,
(ii) do not provide for a payment in the event that excise tax is imposed under
Section 4999 and (iii) only become operative upon a change-of-control of the
Company (if the executive is then in the employ of the Company). Should their
agreements become operative, each of Messrs. Carroll, Franklin, Richter and Cole
(together with the other three executive officers) would continue to participate
in all executive incentive plans with at least the same reward opportunities,
and with perquisites, fringe benefits and service credits for benefits at least
equal to those that were provided prior to the change-of-control. Messrs.
Carroll, Franklin, Richter and Cole (and the other three executive officers)
would be entitled to continue to receive no less than their base salaries as in
effect immediately prior to the change-of-control, so long as they are employed
by the Company, subject to annual increase (but not decrease) in the same manner
as Mr. Magliochetti, and an annual bonus in an amount not less than 50% of their
annual base salary.
Each of the Named Executive Officers (and the other three
executive officers) also has a related agreement with the Company which provides
that, in the event of a dispute related to his change-of-control agreement, the
Company will pay legal expenses he may incur to enforce the change-of-control
agreement.
Annual Incentives. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and
-----------------
other executive officers have an opportunity to earn annual bonuses under the
ACP, as described more fully in Annex A hereto under the heading "Annual
Incentives," which is incorporated herein by reference. Award opportunities vary
based on the individual's position and base salary. Actual bonuses are based on
the Company's success in achieving performance objectives that are established
in advance. These objectives are set annually based on the Company's short-term
strategic direction and the current economic climate.
In the event of a change-of-control of the Company, unless
otherwise provided, all awards deferred under the ACP, whether to a stock
account or an interest equivalent account, will be paid out promptly to
participants in a lump sum in cash. Stock units held in participants' stock
accounts will be deemed to have the value of the higher of (i) the average of
the closing
-4-
price for the last trading day prior to the effective date of the
change-of-control and the last trading day of each of the two preceding thirty-
day periods, in each case as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange and (ii) the
highest per share consideration paid for Shares in the change-of-control
transaction (the "Stock Unit Value").
Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan; Restricted Stock
-----------------------------------------------------------
Plans. Long-term equity incentives are granted to the Company's Chief Executive
-----
Officer and other executive officers under the Company's Amended and Restated
Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan") and 1999 Restricted Stock Plan (the
"1999 Plan").
Under the Incentive Plan, upon the occurrence of a
change-of-control, all outstanding unexercised options and stock appreciation
rights will become fully exercisable for the remainder of their term and all
other awards will vest and become immediately due and payable. Pursuant to the
restricted stock agreements evidencing grants of restricted stock under the 1999
Plan, all restrictions on such restricted stock lapse (i) in the event that the
grantee's employment is terminated by the Company or its successor following a
change-of-control in circumstances that would entitle the grantee to a severance
benefit under his or her change-of-control agreement, or (ii) if there is no
change-of-control agreement, in the event that the grantee's employment is
terminated by the Company or its successor following a change-of-control for any
reason. Pursuant to the restricted stock agreements evidencing grants under the
Company's 1989 Restricted Stock Plan (the "1989 Plan"), all restrictions on
outstanding restricted stock will lapse upon the grantee's termination of
employment by the Company for any reason following a change-of-control. Under
the 1989 Plan and the 1999 Plan, restricted stock units will be paid out in
shares of stock upon a termination of employment for any reason following a
change-of-control. Further information on the Incentive Plan and 1999 Plan is
set forth in Annex A hereto under the heading "Equity Compensation Plan
Information," and is incorporated herein by reference.
1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan. All non-employee directors
---------------------------------
participate in the Company's 1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "Director
Plan"). The Director Plan provides for the automatic annual grant to each
non-employee director of options to purchase 3,000 Shares. In the event of a
change-of-control of the Company, all outstanding unexercised stock options
issued under the Director Plan will become fully exercisable. Further
information on the Director Plan is set forth in Annex A hereto under the
headings "Equity Compensation Plan Information" and "Director Compensation," and
is incorporated herein by reference.
Director Deferred Fee Plan. Non-employee directors of the
--------------------------
Company may elect to defer payment of their fees into the Company's Director
Deferred Fee Plan, either to a stock account or an interest equivalent account.
In the event of a change-of-control of the Company, except with respect to
participants who are residents of Canada, all amounts deferred under the
Director Deferred Fee Plan will be paid out to the participants in a lump sum in
cash. Stock units held in participants' stock accounts will be deemed to have
the Stock Unit Value. Further information on the Director Deferred Fee Plan is
set forth in Annex A hereto under the heading "Director Compensation," and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Pension Plans. The Named Executive Officers participate in the
-------------
Company's Retirement, Excess Benefits and Supplemental Benefits Plans (the
"Pension Plans"). In the event
-5-
of a change-of-control of the Company, participants in the Excess Benefits and
Supplemental Benefits Plans will receive a lump-sum payment of all benefits
previously accrued thereunder and will be entitled to continue to accrue
benefits thereunder, and certain transition benefits under the Retirement Plan
will accelerate. Further information on the Pension Plans is set forth in Annex
A hereto under the heading "Pension Plans," and is incorporated herein by
reference.
(b) Transactions with the Offeror and ArvinMeritor.
----------------------------------------------
Other than as disclosed in this Statement or Annex A hereto,
there are no material agreements, arrangements or understandings or any actual
or potential conflicts of interest, between the Company, or its executive
officers, directors or affiliates, on the one hand, and the Offeror,
ArvinMeritor or their respective executive officers, directors or affiliates, on
the other hand.
Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation.
-----------------------------------
(a) Solicitation/Recommendation.
---------------------------
After careful consideration, including a thorough review of
the Offer with its legal and financial advisors, and after taking into account
the recommendation of the Committee of Independent Directors (as defined below)
the Board of Directors by unanimous vote of all directors voting determined that
the Offer is inadequate, from a financial point of view, to holders of Shares
and that the Offer not in the best interests of either Dana or its shareholders.
The Board of Directors believes that the Offer undervalues Dana's businesses,
including its premier franchise in the automotive and heavy-duty vehicle supply
industries, and does not adequately reflect the true value of Dana's unique
market position and business opportunities. The Management and the Board believe
that the Company can deliver more value to its shareholders than that proposed
to be paid in the Offer by continuing to execute its business plan to enhance
operating performance and reduce the Company's debt. ACCORDINGLY, AND FOR THE
OTHER REASONS DESCRIBED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU REJECT THE OFFER AND DO NOT TENDER YOUR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
A form of letter communicating the Board of Directors'
recommendation to you and a press release relating to the recommendation to
reject the Offer are filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to this document,
respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Background.
----------
In the spring of 2001, ArvinMeritor approached the Company to
express an interest in pursuing a joint venture combining ArvinMeritor's and the
Company's respective aftermarket businesses. The Company and ArvinMeritor
entered into a confidentiality agreement that limited the use of any
confidential information solely for the purpose of analyzing a potential
business relationship for the respective aftermarket businesses, and restricting
the parties from, among other things, disclosing "the fact that the parties are
participating in a study or exploration of a business relationship" or "the fact
that the parties have exchanged confidential information." In the late summer of
2001, the discussions terminated.
-6-
On June 4, 2003, Mr. Larry D. Yost, President and Chief
Executive Officer of ArvinMeritor, telephoned Mr. Joseph M. Magliochetti,
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and expressed
ArvinMeritor's interest in acquiring the Company and informed Mr. Magliochetti
that ArvinMeritor's board of directors had authorized Mr. Yost to offer $14.00
in cash for each Share. Mr. Magliochetti told Mr. Yost that although he did not
believe there was any interest in pursuing a sale of the Company at this time he
would bring the matter to the Board of Directors. After this conversation, Mr.
Magliochetti contacted each of the Company's directors to inform them of the
conversation.
Later in the day on June 4, 2003, Mr. Magliochetti received
the following letter from Mr. Yost:
June 4, 2003
Mr. Joseph M. Magliochetti
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
Dana Corporation
Dear Joe:
Thank you again for taking the time to talk with me earlier
today. As we discussed, I am pleased to present a proposal that
contemplates an acquisition of Dana by ArvinMeritor. I am confident
that this transaction offers an exciting opportunity to create value
for the shareholders of both our companies. In our industry,
consolidation presents an opportunity to further enhance shareholder
value as well as create a stronger company.
I've summarized our proposal in this letter to help you
facilitate its review with your Board and advisors. We would like to
begin discussions with you immediately in the hope of completing a
transaction as quickly as possible.
My Board of Directors has authorized me to offer consideration
of $14.00 in cash for each Dana share, representing a premium of 45%
over yesterday's closing price. As an alternative, we are prepared to
consider a mix of cash and stock consideration if it will facilitate a
transaction. Our proposed price represents full value, and we are
confident that our proposal will be well received by Dana shareholders.
Our objective is to retain the best and the brightest from
each of our organizations. As a result, we hope to integrate as many of
your employees as is practical into the ArvinMeritor family.
We based our proposal on publicly available information. If
you are willing to work with us to consummate a transaction
expeditiously, we may be prepared to analyze further whether a higher
value is warranted. As you can appreciate, our proposal is conditioned
upon the negotiation and execution of a definitive merger agreement
and, of course, the receipt of all necessary shareholder and regulatory
approvals. Regarding the required regulatory approvals, we have
carefully considered all relevant issues with the advice of counsel,
and we are confident that they can be obtained. In addition, financing
is not an issue.
-7-
We have retained financial and legal advisors and they are
fully informed. We and they are prepared to meet with you and your
advisors. We believe it is in the best interests of our respective
shareholders for this transaction to proceed as expeditiously as
possible.
We are confident that you and your Board of Directors will
share our view that this proposal represents a unique and compelling
opportunity for your shareholders, creating a stronger combined company
that will be well positioned to succeed in the very competitive
automotive supply industry.
If you or any of your directors have any questions about our
proposal, please feel free to give me a call. I will make myself
available at any time. My contact numbers are (248) 435-3901 (office)
and 248-670-0498 (mobile). We do not intend to make this letter public.
My Board of Directors and I believe this is a very compelling
transaction for both of our companies and shareholders. Again, we are
excited about this transaction and are committed to getting this
transaction done.
I hope to hear back from you by the end of next week as I am
committed to reporting back to my Board. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely,
Larry D. Yost
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
ArvinMeritor, Inc.
Shortly after receipt of the letter, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen
& Katz, and Howrey, Simon, Arnold & White LLP, were retained to provide legal
advice in connection with ArvinMeritor's proposal.
The Board of Directors met telephonically on June 6, 2003,
with its legal advisors and the Company's management for preliminary discussions
regarding the proposal and to establish a process for properly evaluating the
proposal. The Board's legal advisors provided an overview of the duties of a
board of directors upon receipt of an unsolicited proposal such as the one
received from ArvinMeritor. Over the next few days, Credit Suisse First Boston
LLC ("Credit Suisse First Boston") and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("Deutsche
Bank") were selected to act as financial advisors in connection with
ArvinMeritor's proposal and related matters.
On June 12, 2003, the Board met in person with its legal and
financial advisors and the Company's management to discuss ArvinMeritor's
unsolicited proposal and the Company's past and current business operations,
financial condition and future prospects. At the beginning of the meeting, Mr.
Fernando M. Senderos, a director, noted his role as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of DESC, S.A. de C.V. ("DESC"), and the potential that a conflict of
interest, real or apparent, could arise in the consideration of ArvinMeritor's
proposal given the
-8-
business relationship between the Company and its affiliates and DESC and its
affiliates. Mr. Senderos, with the agreement of the Board, decided not to
participate in the consideration of ArvinMeritor's proposal, and, accordingly,
Mr. Senderos has not participated in any of the other meetings described in this
Statement. Management of the Company made presentations and responded to
questions regarding the Company's businesses, and historical financial and
projected results. The legal advisors discussed the Board's duties with the
Board and presented the Board with an overview of the terms of ArvinMeritor's
proposal and the potential antitrust and other legal issues relating to
ArvinMeritor's proposal. The financial advisors reviewed with the Board the
financial aspects of ArvinMeritor's proposal. After thorough discussions, the
Board of Directors went into executive session and, after asking certain of its
advisors and certain members of management to return for further discussion, by
the unanimous vote of all directors voting decided that the Company was not for
sale and that discussions with ArvinMeritor regarding its proposal would not be
productive. The Board also authorized the delivery of a letter to ArvinMeritor
communicating its view.
Following the Board of Directors' meeting, Mr. Magliochetti
telephoned Mr. Yost to express that the Board had carefully considered
ArvinMeritor's proposal and was not interested in the proposed business
combination with ArvinMeritor and that discussion as to any such transaction
would not be productive. Later on June 12, 2003, Mr. Magliochetti sent the
letter that the Board had discussed earlier that day, the text of which was:
June 12, 2003
Mr. Larry D. Yost
Chairman and CEO ArvinMeritor, Inc.
2135 West Maple Road
Troy, Michigan 48084
Dear Mr. Yost,
This will respond to your letter of June 4th. I shared your
letter with our Board of Directors during a telephonic meeting last
week, and we had a lengthy meeting in person today to carefully and
thoroughly consider your proposal. We have been advised in that
connection by able and experienced financial and legal advisors.
The Board is unanimous in concluding that Dana has no interest
whatsoever in pursuing a sale transaction with you, nor do we believe
that any other combination of our companies would be in the interests
of our shareholders. Discussion as to a sale transaction or any other
combination would not be productive. We are aggressively pursuing a
strategic business plan which we believe is the best way to maximize
value for our shareholders.
-9-
We hope that you will respect our decision in this matter;
pursuing your proposal would be disruptive and counterproductive for
both of our shareholder constituencies.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Magliochetti
On June 17, 2003, the Board of Directors received the
following letter from Mr. Yost reiterating ArvinMeritor's interest in acquiring
the Company:
June 16, 2003
Mr. Joseph M. Magliochetti
Mr. Benjamin F. Bailar
Mr. A. Charles Baillie, Jr.
Mr. Edmond M. Carpenter
Mr. Eric Clark
Ms. Cheryl W. Grise
Mr. Glen H. Hiner
Mr. James P. Kelly
Ms. Marilyn R. Marks
Mr. Richard B. Priory
Mr. Fernando M. Senderos
To the Board of Directors of Dana Corporation:
On June 4, 2003 I spoke with and wrote to Joe Magliochetti, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Dana Corporation, proposing a
combination of ArvinMeritor and Dana in which ArvinMeritor will acquire
all of the outstanding shares of Dana for $14.00 per share in cash.
This will provide your shareholders with a premium of 45% over Dana's
closing stock price on June 3, 2003, the last trading day before I
submitted our proposal to Mr. Magliochetti in writing.
On June 13, 2003 we received a letter from Mr. Magliochetti stating
that Dana had no interest whatsoever in pursuing a business combination
with ArvinMeritor or entering into discussions with ArvinMeritor
regarding our merger proposal. Notwithstanding that Mr. Magliochetti
twice indicated to me during our initial phone conversation on June 4,
2003 that Dana was not for sale and further reiterated this in our
phone conversation on June 12, 2003, we were surprised that the Dana
Board decided to forgo even an initial meeting with us to discuss our
proposal in light of the significant value we are prepared to offer
your shareholders.
I am writing to reiterate our serious interest in pursuing a
transaction between ArvinMeritor and Dana and to provide further
strategic perspective as to why it makes sense to bring our two
companies together. After a thorough review with our financial and
legal advisors of the publicly available information concerning Dana,
the ArvinMeritor Board has concluded that the strategic and financial
benefits of a business combination to both
-10-
of our companies' shareholders and other interested constituencies are
simply too compelling to ignore.
The combination of ArvinMeritor and Dana will create a stronger Tier
One supplier company providing numerous technological and service
benefits for our combined worldwide light vehicle, commercial truck and
aftermarket customers. This transaction will bring together the right
combination of innovation, capabilities and resources to establish a
more significant global enterprise.
Together, ArvinMeritor and Dana will become a true industry leader with
the strategic position that will allow us to better serve our
customers, employees and shareholders. A combined ArvinMeritor-Dana
will extend our market reach. Importantly, the combined company will
have the increased capability to accelerate growth; make strategic
investments; and enlarge our diversified product, service and market
portfolio.
In addition to the compelling strategic fit of our respective product
portfolios, a business combination of our two companies will also
create significant financial benefits, including considerable sales,
operating and cost synergies beyond what either company could achieve
on its own. We believe these benefits will better position us to
compete and succeed in the increasingly competitive automotive supply
industry.
A combination of Dana and ArvinMeritor will also afford us the
opportunity to combine the skills of each of our talented workforces.
As I indicated in my initial letter to Mr. Magliochetti, our objective
is to complete a combination that retains the best and the brightest
from each of our organizations. As a result, we hope to integrate as
many of your employees as is practical into the ArvinMeritor family. We
have a proven track record of successfully integrating large-scale
transactions, as evidenced by the merger of our predecessor companies,
Arvin and Meritor. I am confident that we will be able to join our two
companies together to build a stronger, more efficient leader in the
automotive supply industry that is well positioned for future growth
and success.
We are confident that our attractive all-cash proposal will be well
received by Dana's shareholders and it is our hope that the Dana Board
recognizes the significant benefits to Dana and its shareholders.
Moreover, our proposal would permit your shareholders to realize this
substantial cash value today. Because it remains our strong preference
to work together with the Dana Board, we are flexible in considering a
mix of cash and stock consideration if it will facilitate a
transaction. In addition, if you are willing to work with us to quickly
consummate a transaction, we may be prepared to analyze further whether
a higher value is warranted. We are ready to meet with you on a
moment's notice. We hope you will reconsider your decision and meet
with ArvinMeritor and its advisors to discuss our proposal.
Our merger proposal is conditioned upon the negotiation and execution
of a definitive merger agreement and the receipt of necessary
shareholder and regulatory approvals. With the advice of counsel, we
have carefully considered all relevant issues regarding the required
regulatory approvals, and we are confident that they can be obtained.
As I mentioned in my last letter, financing is not an issue.
-11-
I would like to reiterate our strong preference to work cooperatively
within the framework of a negotiated transaction. To this end, we and
our advisors are prepared to meet with you and your advisors
immediately to discuss the terms of our proposal and to negotiate a
definitive agreement. I am confident that if we work together we can
quickly close a transaction that is in the best interests of both
companies' shareholders and other interested constituencies.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Larry D. Yost
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
ArvinMeritor, Inc.
On June 18, 2003, the Board of Directors met with its legal
and financial advisors and the Company's management telephonically to again
consider ArvinMeritor's proposal. The Board of Directors discussed with its
legal and financial advisors, and the Company's management, matters relating to
ArvinMeritor's proposal that were previously discussed with the Board and was
updated as appropriate. Following full discussion, the Board went into
executive session and, after asking certain of its advisors and certain members
of management to return for further discussion, again by the unanimous vote of
all directors voting decided that ArvinMeritor's proposal was not attractive in
light of the Company's plans and prospects and that discussions with
ArvinMeritor about the proposal would not be productive. The Board again
authorized Mr. Magliochetti to respond to the reiterated proposal in writing.
The next morning, Mr. Magliochetti sent the following letter
that had been discussed by the Board of Directors in response to Mr. Yost's
letter of June 16.
June 19, 2003
Mr. Larry D. Yost
Chairman and CEO
ArvinMeritor, Inc.
2135 West Maple Road
Troy, Michigan 48084
Dear Mr. Yost:
This will respond to your letter of June 16. As was the case
with your prior letter of June 4, this letter has been provided to each
member of our Board of Directors. And our Board has met again to review
it, in detail, with the assistance of our financial and legal advisors.
Our Board has now met and discussed your proposal on three
separate occasions. Following that process, the Board has asked me to
once again convey to you our unanimous conclusion: that Dana has no
interest whatsoever in pursuing a sale transaction
-12-
with ArvinMeritor. The Board is equally unanimous in concluding that no
other combination of our companies would be in the best interests of
Dana's shareholders. There is absolutely no division of opinion on this
matter among our Directors. Accordingly, any meeting or discussion as
to a sale transaction or any other combination would not be productive.
Again, we expect that you will respect our unanimous and
carefully considered decision in this matter; ArvinMeritor's continued
pursuit of its proposal would be disruptive and counterproductive for
both of our shareholder constituencies.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Magliochetti
On July 8, 2003, concurrently with ArvinMeritor's issuance of
a press release announcing its intention to commence the Offer, Mr. Yost called
Mr. Magliochetti to inform him of the Offer and sent Mr. Magliochetti the
following letter:
July 8, 2003
Mr. Joseph Magliochetti
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dana Corporation
4500 Dorr Street
Toledo, OH 43615
Dear Joe:
In light of the dramatic changes taking place in our industry, the
attractive cash price we are prepared to offer your shareowners and the
compelling strategic fit of our two companies, our Board was surprised
and disappointed when in response to our repeated efforts to effect a
business combination of our two companies you informed us that Dana has
"no interest whatsoever" in pursuing a transaction.
Because Dana has been unwilling to proceed with a business combination
or even have an initial meeting with us to discuss our proposal, we are
taking our offer directly to Dana's shareowners. We write to inform you
that we will publicly disclose this morning our intention to commence a
tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Dana for
$15.00 per share in cash. Our improved offer above the $14.00 per share
that we indicated to you in our earlier communications demonstrates our
full commitment to consummating this transaction. We are hopeful that
your Board recognizes the significant benefits of our offer to Dana and
its shareowners.
We believe this is the most effective way to bring our two companies
together and we are confident that our offer will be well received by
your shareowners. Notwithstanding the significant uncertainties facing
Dana and its business today, our offer permits Dana's shareowners to
realize a premium of 56% over Dana's closing stock price on June 3,
-13-
2003, the last trading day before ArvinMeritor submitted its first
proposal to Dana in writing. It also represents a premium of 39% over
Dana's average closing stock price for the last 30 trading days and a
premium of 25% over Dana's closing stock price on July 7, 2003, the
last trading day before today's announcement.
Although we have found it necessary to go directly to your shareowners
with our offer, it remains our strong preference to work together with
the Dana Board to reach a mutually agreeable transaction. To this end,
we and our advisors are prepared to meet with you and your advisors to
discuss the terms of our offer and to negotiate a definitive agreement.
As I have expressed to you, if you are willing to work with us to
consummate a transaction, we may be prepared to analyze further whether
a higher value is warranted. In addition, we are flexible in
considering a mix of cash and stock if it will facilitate a
transaction.
I am confident that if we work together we can quickly close a
transaction that is in the best interests of both companies'
shareowners and other interested constituencies. We hope you will
reconsider your decision and meet with us.
On behalf of the ArvinMeritor Board of Directors,
Sincerely,
Larry D. Yost
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Later on July 8, 2003, the Board of Directors met
telephonically to discuss ArvinMeritor's letter and the related press release.
The Board discussed the process for performing a thorough analysis of the
anticipated tender offer when additional information became available and the
legal requirements and obligations which would become applicable as a result of
the Offer. Later that day, the Company issued a press release regarding the
anticipated tender offer.
On July 9, 2003, ArvinMeritor issued a press release
announcing the commencement of the offer at $15.00 per Share and ArvinMeritor
and Offeror filed the Schedule TO, commencing the Offer.
On July 10, 2003, the Company issued the following press
release:
TOLEDO, Ohio, July 10 -- Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN - News)
issued the following statement today in response to the announcement
yesterday by ArvinMeritor, Inc. (NYSE: ARM - News) that it commenced a
tender offer for the outstanding Dana shares.
Dana is evaluating ArvinMeritor's tender offer. As indicated
Tuesday, Dana's Board of Directors will advise Dana shareholders of its
position regarding the offer and state its reasons for such position
within 10 business days of the commencement of the
-14-
offer. Dana continues to urge its shareholders to defer making a
determination whether to accept or reject ArvinMeritor's offer until
they have been advised of Dana's position with respect to the offer.
Dana's shareholders, and its customers, suppliers and
employees, are strongly advised to carefully read Dana's
solicitation/recommendation statement, when it becomes available,
regarding the tender offer referred to in this press release, because
it will contain important information, which should be considered
carefully before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer.
Copies of the solicitation/recommendation statement, which will be
filed by Dana with the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be
available free of charge at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov, or at
the Dana web site at www.dana.com, and will also be available, without
charge, by directing requests to Dana's Investor Relations Department.
On July 11, 2003, the Board of Directors met with its legal
and financial advisors and the Company's management to review developments with
respect to the Offer. Among other things, at this meeting the Board was updated
as to the status of the Offer, further details as to its terms and conditions,
and the timetable for the Board's response under applicable law. The Board also
received advice from its legal advisors concerning its duties in responding to
the Offer, and was updated as to the litigation that had been commenced by
ArvinMeritor with respect to the Offer. The Board discussed the appropriate
framework for its consideration of the Offer, and, among other things, the
desirability of providing a structure for the independent members of the Board
to convene regularly as a committee to review and discuss, with such advice as
they deemed appropriate, matters relevant to the Board's response to the Offer.
In addition, at the July 11 meeting, the Board determined not to redeem the
Rights or otherwise render them inapplicable to the Offer and resolved to delay
the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Rights, as
more fully described under "Board Action Regarding Rights Agreement" in Item 8
below. The Board also authorized the retention of Goldman, Sachs & Co.
("Goldman Sachs") as an additional financial advisor in connection with the
Offer.
On July 14, 2003, Goldman Sachs was retained as an additional
financial advisor to the Board in connection with the Offer.
On July 18, 2003, the Board met again to review and consider
the Offer. At the commencement of the meeting, the Board resolved to create a
committee of independent directors (consisting of Ms. Grise and Ms. Marks and
Messrs. Bailar, Baillie, Carpenter, Clark, Hiner, Kelly and Priory) (the
"Committee of Independent Directors") to consider and evaluate the Offer,
possible strategic alternatives and other matters as the Committee of
Independent Directors may determine and provide reports and recommendations to
the Board regarding these matters. The Board elected Mr. Hiner as Chairman of
the Committee of Independent Directors. This structure is consistent with the
Board's periodic practice of holding executive sessions of non-management
directors in conjunction with regular Board meetings. The Committee of
Independent Directors also determined to retain Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &
Flom LLP, as special counsel to the Committee of Independent Directors, and the
Board agreed with such retention.
-15-
The July 18 Board meeting continued with the Board receiving
written and oral presentations concerning its legal duties and the legal and
regulatory framework relevant to the Offer from a representative of Wachtell,
Lipton, Rosen & Katz, counsel to the Board, and written and oral presentations
from representatives of Credit Suisse First Boston and Deutsche Bank concerning
certain financial information relevant to consideration of the Offer. These
latter presentations included a review of certain financial matters concerning
the Offer, such as calculations of the offer price premiums and implied
multiples to earnings per share, earnings before interest and taxes and other
financial metrics, and reaction to the Offer by investors, equity analysts and
rating agencies. A representative of management then presented the Company's
near-term outlook and long-range management forecast, including the assumptions
on which the latter was based, after which the financial advisors
commented on the process they had engaged in with management to review the long-
term forecast. The financial advisors also presented a financial analysis of
the Company, which included a selected comparable companies analysis, a selected
comparable acquisitions analysis, and a discounted cash flow analysis, including
a discounted cash flow analysis demonstrating the sensitivities of the analysis
to assumptions contained in management's long-range forecast. In the course of
these presentations, the Board asked questions and, following the conclusion of
the presentations to the Board, the Committee of Independent Directors met
separately with representatives of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, its
special counsel, to further review and discuss matters related to the Offer.
At a meeting held on July 21, 2003, the Board met with its
legal and financial advisors, the Committee of Independent Directors legal
advisor and the Company's management to further discuss the Offer and
financial, legal and other considerations deemed relevant to the Offer. Among
other things, the Board reviewed and discussed the factors and considerations
summarized under "Reasons for the Recommendation" contained herein. Also at this
meeting Credit Suisse First Boston and Deutsche Bank delivered to the Board of
Directors their respective opinions, dated July 21, 2003, to the effect that,
as of the dated of such opinions, the Offer was inadequate, from a
financial point of view, to holders of Shares. At the conclusion of the July
21, 2003 meeting, in light of the delay in advising Dana of the prior contacts
between Deutsche Bank and ArvinMeritor described in Item 5, Deutsche Bank and
the Board agreed that Deutsche Bank would not continue Deutsche Bank's
financial advisory engagement in connection with the Offer and the Proposed
Transaction, but would continue to serve the Company in other advisory and
financing matters as are mutually agreed. In addition, on July 21, 2003, the
Committee of Independent Directors met separately with its legal advisors to
review and discuss matters relating to the Offer. In recognition of the fact
that their service on the Committee of Independent Directors would require a
substantial commitment of time, the Board authorized the payment of annual
stipends, meeting fees and expense reimbursement for members and the Chairman of
the Committee of Independent Directors, on the same basis as provided to members
of the Audit, Compensation and Advisory Committees of the Board.
On July 22, 2003, after consideration, including consultation
with its legal advisor and the Board's legal and financial advisors and taking
into account the factors described in Item 4(c) below, the Committee of
Independent Directors unanimously determined that the Offer is inadequate, from
a financial point of view, to holders of Shares and that the Offer is not in the
best interests of either Dana or its shareholders and unanimously recommended to
the full Board that the full Board, in turn, recommend that Dana shareholders
reject the Offer and not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer. On July 22,
2003, following a thorough discussion and in
-16-
light of the factors described in
Item 4(c) below and taking into account the recommendation of the Committee of
Independent Directors, the Board determined that the Offer is inadequate, from a
financial point of view, to holders of Shares and that the Offer is not in the
best interests of either Dana or its shareholders, and determined to recommend
that Dana shareholders reject the Offer and not tender their Shares pursuant to
the Offer.
(c) Reasons for the Recommendation.
------------------------------
In reaching the conclusion that the Offer is inadequate from a
financial point of view, to holders of Shares and the Offer is not in the best
interests of either Dana or its shareholders and the recommendation described
above, the Board of Directors consulted with its legal and financial advisors
and senior management of the Company and took into account the recommendation of
the Committee and numerous other factors, including, but not limited to, the
following:
(i) The presentations of, and the Board's discussions
with, its financial advisors at meetings of the Board of Directors held
on July 18 and July 21 concerning the Company, ArvinMeritor and the
financial aspects of the Offer, including the opinions dated July 21,
2003, to the Board of Directors of Credit Suisse First Boston and
Deutsche Bank, to the effect that as of the date of such opinions, the
Offer was inadequate, from a financial point of view, to holders of
Shares;
(ii) The facts that the market price per share has
been above the Offer price per Share since the public announcement of
the Offer on July 8, 2003; the closing price per share on the New York
Stock Exchange on July 21, 2003, the last trading day prior to the
Board of Directors' decision to recommend that shareholders reject the
Offer and not tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer, was $15.24,
which is higher than the Offer price of $15.00 per share;
(iii) The Board's understanding of the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations, business
strategy, restructuring plan, backlog of new business and future
prospects and, based upon presentations by management, management and
the Board's belief that Dana's strategy is meeting its target to
deliver improved financial performance for the remainder of 2003, 2004
and beyond, which management and the Board believes has not been fully
reflected in the current stock price;
(iv) The fact that the Company has already
demonstrated significant success in executing its restructuring plan as
evidenced by the improved earnings since the inception of the plan in
October of 2001, the generation of $540 million in proceeds
-17-
from asset sales, and the reduction of net debt by
approximately $590 million over the past 18 months (excluding the
approximately $710 million in asset sales and $580 million in debt
reduction attributable to Dana Credit Corporation's disposition
activities over the same period of time;
(v) The Board's consideration of several key economic
trends in the heavy-duty vehicle sector that it believes will have a
significant positive impact on Dana's performance in future years; in
this regard, the Board noted, among other things, that forecasts for
heavy-duty vehicle production is expected to increase from 181 thousand
units in 2002 to approximately 280 thousand units in 2005, an increase;
of approximately 49%;
(vi) The Board's belief that the Proposed
Transaction, including the Offer, is opportunistic and if consummated
would deprive all Dana shareholders, including those that do not accept
the Offer, of the opportunity to realize the full value of their
investment in the Company;
(vii) The fact that regulatory approval is a
condition of the Offer. The Board believes, based upon the advice of
the Company's antitrust counsel, that serious antitrust issues could
prevent ArvinMeritor from consummating the Offer; for example Dana and
ArvinMeritor are the only substantial North American producers of
axles, driveshafts and foundation brakes for medium- and heavy-duty
trucks, with combined market shares ranging from 80 percent to 100
percent, and through joint arrangements with Eaton Corporation and ZF
Group, respectively, are the only North American suppliers of complete
heavy truck drivetrain systems; as a result, the Board believes, based
upon the advice of the Company's antitrust counsel, the transaction is
very likely to be subject to intensive scrutiny from government
antitrust authorities and may result in antitrust litigation to block
the Offer; in this regard the Board also noted that as of the date of
its deliberations [(and as of the date hereof)], ArvinMeritor had not
yet even made the necessary filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976;
(viii) The fact that the Offer is conditioned upon
ArvinMeritor having received proceeds under new financings sufficient,
together with cash on hand, to consummate the Proposed Transaction and
that ArvinMeritor has acknowledged in response to regulatory inquiries
that it has not entered into any agreements, commitments, credit
facilities, letters of credit or other financing arrangements with
regard to financing the Offer or the Proposed Transaction; the size of
the financing required as well as the resulting pro forma credit
ratios, which based on ArvinMeritor's public disclosures, would result
in an approximate 88% pro forma debt-to-capital ratio, which would
be among the highest in the industry, provide significant financing
risk for ArvinMeritor. The inability to satisfy this condition would be
a significant obstacle to completion of the Offer; and
(ix) The fact that the Offer is highly conditional
and includes conditions that could provide significant obstacles to
completion of the Offer or the other aspects of the Proposed
Transaction and result in significant uncertainty that the Offer will
be consummated, and, further, in the event of non-completion of the
Offer due to the failure to satisfy certain conditions to the Offer
for reasons not within the Company's control, could adversely affect
the Company.
In light of the above factors, the Committee of Independent
Directors and the Board determined that the Offer is not in the best interests
of either Dana or its shareholders.
-18-
ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU REJECT THE OFFER AND DO
NOT TENDER YOUR SHARES PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors
considered by the Committee of Independent Directors and the Board of Directors
is not intended to be exhaustive but addresses all of the material information
and factors considered by the Committee of Independent Directors and the Board
of Directors in their consideration of the Offer and the Proposed Transaction.
In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered, the
Board of Directors did not find it practicable to provide specific assessments
of, quantify or otherwise assign any relative weights to, the specific factors
considered in determining their recommendations. Such determination was made
after consideration of the factors taken as a whole. Individual members of the
Committee of Independent Directors and the Board of Directors may have given
differing weights to different factors. In addition, in arriving at their
respective recommendations, the directors of the Company were aware of the
interests of certain officers and directors of the Company as described under
"Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements."
Finally, the Board noted in the course of its deliberations as
to the Offer that it has a continuing obligation to both oversee the ongoing
progress of the business plan in relation to its objectives and to consider
changes to the plan as well as other business or strategic alternatives if they
appear desirable. The Board expects to actively continue such oversight as part
of its responsibilities to set the strategic direction for the Company and to
fulfill the goal of building shareholder value and safeguarding shareholder
interests.
(d) Intent to Tender.
-----------------
To the Company's knowledge, none of the Company's executive
officers, directors, affiliates or subsidiaries currently intends to sell or
tender for purchase pursuant to the Offer any Shares owned of record or
beneficially owned.
Item 5. Persons/Assets Retained, Employed, Compensated or Used.
------------------------------------------------------
Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs
were retained as financial advisors in connection with ArvinMeritor's
proposal and with respect to any possible purchase of all or a portion of the
stock or assets of the Company, or a sale of the Company. The Company has agreed
to pay each of Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs
customary fees for such services; to reimburse them for all expenses, including
fees and expenses of counsel; and to indemnify them and certain related persons
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities
laws, relating to or arising out of their respective engagements.
Credit Suisse First Boston, Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs,
and their respective affiliates, in the past have provided, and in the future
may provide, investment banking and financial services to the Company, for which
services they have received, and would expect to receive, compensation. In
addition, an affiliate of each of Credit Suisse First Boston and Deutsche Bank
are lenders to the Company under the Company's current revolving bank credit
facility, for which services such affiliates have received, and will receive,
compensation. In the
-19-
ordinary course of business, each of the financial advisors and their respective
affiliates may actively trade or hold securities of Dana and ArvinMeritor
for its own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, may at
any time hold a long or short position in such securities. Prior to the time
ArvinMeritor first privately approached Dana concerning a possible acquisition
or combination transaction, representatives of Deutsche Bank had met with
ArvinMeritor in the ordinary course of Deutsche Bank's investment banking
activities, for the purpose of seeking business with ArvinMeritor. In the
course of that dialogue, Deutsche Bank discussed with ArvinMeritor a variety of
transactional and financing possibilities, including a combination with Dana.
In that context, based solely on publicly available information and market
conditions at that time, between February and April 2003, Deutsche Bank
presented analyses to ArvinMeritor regarding a business combination with Dana,
including a cash acquisition, a stock and cash acquisition, and an all stock
transaction in which the Dana shareholders would continue their equity interests
and own a majority of the resulting combined company. Deutsche Bank reviewed
illustrative transaction structures for Dana shares at less than or equal to the
Offer Price, which represented a premium of greater than 50% of the trading
price of Dana's shares at the time, and transaction effects at various Dana
share prices, at less than or greater than, the Offer Price. Deutsche Bank was
not retained by ArvinMeritor and did not receive any remuneration in connection
with these discussions. In late April, Deutsche Bank was asked by ArvinMeritor,
and declined, any participation on behalf of ArvinMeritor in any potential
transaction involving an acquisition by ArvinMeritor of Dana. As noted above in
Item 4(b), at the conclusion of the July 21, 2003 meeting of the Board of
Directors, Deutsche Bank and Dana agreed that Deutsche Bank would not
continue Deutsche Bank's financial advisory engagement in connection with the
Offer and the Proposed Transaction, but would continue to serve the Company in
other advisory and financing matters as are mutually agreed.
The Company has retained D. F. King & Co., Inc. ("D. F. King")
to assist it in connection with the Company's communications with its
shareholders with respect to the Offer, to monitor trading activity in the
Shares and to identify investors holding noteworthy positions in street name.
The Company has agreed to pay D. F. King reasonable customary compensation for
its services and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses in connection
therewith. The Company has also agreed to indemnify D. F. King against certain
liabilities arising out of or in connection with the engagement.
The Company has retained Kekst & Company, Inc. as its public
relations advisor in connection with the Offer. The Company has agreed to pay
customary compensation for such services and to reimburse Kekst & Company, Inc.
for its out-of-pocket expenses arising out of or in connection with the
engagement. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Kekst & Company,Inc.
against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the engagement.
Except as set forth above, neither the Company nor any person
acting on its behalf has employed, retained or agreed to compensate any person
to make solicitations or recommendations to shareholders of the Company
concerning the Offer.
-20-
Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.
---------------------------------------------
Except as set forth on Annex B hereto, no transactions in the
Shares have been effected during the past 60 days by the Company or, to the
Company's knowledge, any of the Company's directors, executive officers,
affiliates or subsidiaries.
Item 7. Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals.
--------------------------------------------------
Except as set forth in this Statement, the Company is not
currently undertaking or engaged in any negotiation in response to the Offer
that relates to (i) a tender offer for or other acquisition of securities by or
of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other person; (ii) an
extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a purchase, sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; or (iv) any material change in the indebtedness, present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Company.
Except as set forth in this Statement, there are no
transactions, Board of Directors' resolutions, agreements in principle or signed
agreements in response to the Offer that relate to or would result in one or
more of the events referred to in the first paragraph of this item.
Item 8. Additional Information to be Furnished.
---------------------------------------
The information contained in all of the Exhibits referred to
in Item 9 below is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Litigation. On July 8, 2003, ArvinMeritor and the Offeror
----------
initiated an action in the Circuit Court for the City of Buena Vista, Virginia
(the "State Action") naming the Company and its directors as defendants.
ArvinMeritor and the Offeror are seeking a declaratory judgment in the State
Action that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's
shareholders by refusing to negotiate or meet with ArvinMeritor to discuss the
proposal ArvinMeritor made in June prior to rejecting it. In addition,
ArvinMeritor and the Offeror seek a declaratory judgment that, among other
things, the defendants have breached their fiduciary obligations by failing to
ensure that no conflict exists between the defendants' own interests and those
of the Company's shareholders or, if any such conflicts exist, to ensure that
they are resolved in favor of the Company's shareholders, and by failing to
redeem the Rights in response to the Offer. ArvinMeritor and the Offeror also
seek an injunction prohibiting the Company from taking any action with respect
to the Rights Agreement or otherwise that is designed to impede or delay the
Offer or the Proposed Merger. The Company and the Board of Directors believe the
allegations in the State Action are without merit.
On July 9, 2003, ArvinMeritor and the Offeror initiated an
action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia
("the Federal Action") against the Company seeking a declaratory judgment that
ArvinMeritor's and the Offeror's statements and disclosures in connection with
the Offer comply with applicable federal law. The Company and the Board of
Directors believe the Federal Action is without merit.
On July 15, 2003, a Dana shareholder purported class action
lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District
of Virginia (the "Shareholder Action")
-21-
against the Company and each of its directors. The Shareholder Action purports
to be brought on behalf of all persons, other than the defendants in the action,
who own the common stock of the Company and who are similarly situated. The
Shareholder Action asserts that the director defendants breached their fiduciary
duties to the Company's shareholders in connection with the Offer. The
Shareholder Action seeks relief declaring that the action can properly be
maintained as a class action, directing the director defendants to exercise
their duty of care by giving due consideration to any proposed business
combination, and directing the director defendants to ensure that no conflict
exists between the directors' own interests and those of the Company's
shareholders or, if any such conflict exists, to ensure that all such conflicts
are resolved in the best interests of the Company's shareholders. However, the
Company and the Board of Directors believe the allegations in the Shareholder
Action are without merit.
The Company and its directors have been named as defendants in
two purported derivative actions filed in the Circuit Court for the City of
Buena Vista. Each of actions alleges that the directors breached their fiduciary
duties by allegedly failing to give due consideration to the June 2003 private
proposals made by ArvinMeritor, and further allege that the defendants are
subject to conflicts of interest and the board's not redeeming the Rights to
permit the ArvinMeritor proposal to be effectuated is a breach of fiduciary
duty. As relief, the complaints seek, among other things, an order restricting
the use of the Rights and damages in an unspecified amount. The Company believes
the allegations of the Complaint are without merit.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by
reference to Exhibits (a)(5) though (a)(8).
Board Action Regarding Rights Agreement. At its meeting on
---------------------------------------
July 11, 2003, the Board of Directors took action, as permitted by the Rights
Agreement, to postpone the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights
Agreement), which otherwise would be triggered by the Offer, until the earlier
of: (1) 10 days after the Shares Acquisition Date (as defined in the Rights
Agreement) or (2) such date as may be subsequently determined by the Board of
Directors. Until the Distribution Date, the Rights will continue to be evidenced
by the certificates for the Shares and the Rights will be transferable only in
connection with the transfer of the associated Shares.
Board Action Regarding By-Law Amendments. In addition to
------------------------------------------
amending the Company's By-Laws to establish the Committee of Independent
Directors, at its meeting on July 22, 2003 the Board of Directors amended the
Company's By-Laws to clarify that a meeting of the Board of Directors may be
called by the Chairman of the Board, or by a majority of Directors.

(1) In general, salary increases in 2002 were delayed until July 2002 for the
senior executive group as they were for most of the Company's salaried
employees.
(2) Annual bonuses received (or deferred) under the Company's Additional
Compensation Plan or otherwise are reported in the year earned, whether
deferred or paid in that year or in the following year.
(3) "Other Annual Compensation" includes perquisites and personal benefits
where such perquisites and benefits exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of
the officer's annual salary and bonus for the year. Of the amounts
reported, the following items exceeded 25% of the total perquisites and
benefits reported for the officer: for Mr. Magliochetti, professional
services valued at $43,350 in 2002, $54,182 in 2001 and $70,649 in 2000;
for Mr. Carroll, professional services valued at $30,329 in 2002, $35,394
in 2001 and $37,482 in 2000; and vehicles valued at $15,420 in 2002 and
$15,754 in 2001; for Mr. Franklin, professional services valued at $29,172
in 2002, $35,595 in 2001 and $36,467 in 2000; for Mr. Richter,
professional services valued at $29,165 in 2001 and $28,615 in 2000; and
vehicles valued at $13,894 in 2001 and $14,346 in 2000; and for Mr. Cole,
professional services valued at $25,292 in 2001 and $22,618 in 2000; and
vehicles valued at $12,724 in 2001 and $9,374 in 2000. Professional
services include financial, tax and estate planning services received by
the officer. Of the amounts reported, the following
-28-
represent insurance premiums (after tax gross-up) paid prior to the
enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on behalf of the named
executive for life insurance coverages: for Mr. Magliochetti, $10,322 in
2002, $9,485 in 2001 and $11,251 in 2000; for Mr. Carroll, $4,342 in 2002,
$4,016 in 2001 and $4,422 in 2000; for Mr. Franklin, $3,130 in 2002,
$2,933 in 2001 and $3,335 in 2000; for Mr. Richter, $2,003 in 2001 and
$2,286 in 2000; and for Mr. Cole, $3,493 in 2001 and $4,831 in 2000.
(4) "Restricted Stock Awards" reflect grants of restricted stock under the
Company's 1999 Restricted Stock Plan. Awards of restricted stock under the
Plan are generally subject to a 5-year restriction period during which the
executive must remain a full-time employee of the Company or its
subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee, which administers the Plan, has
the discretion to shorten any restriction periods or to waive the
restrictions. The restrictions lapse in the event the executive's
employment is terminated at the Company's initiative following a
change-of-control. In the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
dividends on the granted shares are paid in additional restricted shares,
in lieu of cash, at the same times and rates as cash dividends are paid to
the Company's shareholders. The Plan provides participants with the
opportunity to convert restricted stock awards into restricted stock units
which are payable in Shares (as defined herein) after they have retired.
During the period between conversion and distribution, the executive's
restricted stock units will continue to be credited with dividends that
are declared on the restricted shares. Messrs. Magliochetti, Carroll,
Franklin, Richter and Cole, and several other executives, have elected to
convert some or all of their restricted stock into restricted stock units.
The value of the restricted stock grants shown in the Summary Compensation
Table was calculated by multiplying the number of shares awarded by the
difference between the closing price of Shares on the date of grant (as
reported in the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transactions published
in The Wall Street Journal) and the purchase price, if any, paid by the
executive.
At December 31, 2002, Mr. Magliochetti held 131,320 shares of restricted
stock valued at $1,359,173; Mr. Carroll held 52,019 shares of restricted
stock valued at $558,554; Mr. Franklin held 52,163 shares of restricted
stock valued at $565,887; Mr. Richter held 42,180 shares of restricted
stock valued at $472,037; and Mr. Cole held 32,586 shares of restricted
stock valued at $349,995. The restricted stock holdings described in this
paragraph include all restricted stock units credited to the executives.
The value of these aggregate restricted stock holdings was calculated by
multiplying the number of shares held by the difference between the
closing price of Shares on December 31, 2002 ($11.76 per share), as
reported in the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Transactions published
in The Wall Street Journal, and the purchase price, if any, paid by the
executives.
(5) "Securities Underlying Options/SARs" represents Shares underlying options
granted in 2000 through 2002. There are no outstanding stock appreciation
rights ("SARs").
(6) "All Other Compensation" consists of contributions made by the Company
under its Savings and Investment Plan to match contributions made by the
executives to their accounts.
OPTION GRANTS IN 2002
The following table contains information about the stock
options granted under the Company's Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan
(the "Incentive Plan") in 2002 to the executive officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table. No SARs were granted in 2002. In calculating the "Grant Date
Present Value," the Company used a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricing
model, as described in Note 3. The value shown is a hypothetical value only;
over their lives, the options could have a greater or a lesser value than that
shown in the table, and under some circumstances they could have zero value.

(1) The exercise price (the price that the executive must pay to purchase each
Share that is subject to an option) is equal to the "fair market value"
(as defined in the Incentive Plan) of a Share on the date of grant of the
option. All options shown were granted on July 16, 2002.
(2) Options may be exercised during a period that begins one year after the
date of grant and ends ten years after the date of grant. During the
exercise period, an optionee may exercise 25% of the total options after
one year from the date of grant, 50% after two years from the date of
grant, 75% after three years from the date of grant, and all of the
options after four years from the date of grant. Options may be exercised
for up to five years following the retirement (as defined in the Incentive
Plan) of the executive. An optionee's exercise rights will be accelerated
in the event of a change-of-control of the Company.
(3) A variant of the Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to determine
the hypothetical grant date value for these options. In applying the
model, the Company assumed a 12-month volatility of 53.24%, a 3.53%
risk-free rate of return, a dividend yield at the date of grant of 0.26%
and a 5.4-year option term. The model did not assume any forfeitures prior
to exercise, which could have reduced the reported grant date values.
Since this model is assumption-based, it may not accurately determine the
options' present value. The true value of the options, when and if
exercised, will depend on the actual market price of a Share on the date
of exercise.
AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN 2002 AND 2002 YEAR-END OPTION VALUES
The following table contains information about the options for
the Company's Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Shares") that were
exercised in 2002 by the Named Executive Officers, the aggregate value of these
officers' unexercised options at the end of 2002 and the aggregate value of
these officers' unexercised in-the-money options at the end of 2002. None of the
officers held any SARs as of December 31, 2002.

PENSION PLANS
For the Named Executive Officers, pension benefits are
determined under the Company's pension plans, as described below. In addition,
Mr. Magliochetti is eligible to receive supplemental retirement benefits under
his employment agreement. Mr. Magliochetti's employment agreement provides that
if his employment with the Company is terminated other
-29-
than for "cause" (as defined in his employment agreement), he will receive a
supplemental lifetime monthly pension calculated at 50% (or, if higher, the
percentage which is the product of 1.6% multiplied by his years of credited
service at retirement) of his highest average monthly compensation (defined as
salary received during the month preceding his termination of service plus
1/12th of the average of the highest bonuses paid to him by the Company during
any three consecutive years) reduced by benefits payable to him by the Company
under the pension plans described below, pension or disability benefits payable
to him by other organizations and 50% of his primary Social Security benefit.
The types of compensation that are reported in the Summary Compensation Table
under "Salary" and "Bonus" (and also including deferred bonuses) will be used to
calculate the retirement benefits payable to Mr. Magliochetti under his
employment agreement. The agreement also provides for a pre-retirement death
benefit. The maximum monthly pension that Mr. Magliochetti would have received
under his employment agreement if he had retired on January 1, 2003, before
taking into account the reductions described above, would be $76,310. In lieu of
receiving this benefit in the form of a monthly pension, Mr. Magliochetti may
elect to receive the distribution of the benefit in any form permitted under the
Dana Corporation Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan").
The Retirement Plan is a cash balance plan (a type of
non-contributory defined benefit pension plan in which participants' benefits
are expressed as individual accounts). Benefits are computed as follows: During
each year of participation in the Retirement Plan, a participant earns a service
credit equal to a specified percentage of his "earnings" (as defined in the
Retirement Plan) up to one-quarter of the Social Security taxable wage base,
plus a specified percentage of his earnings above one-quarter of the taxable
wage base. The percentages increase with the length of service with the Company.
A participant with 30 or more years of service receives the maximum credit (6.4%
of earnings up to one-quarter of the taxable wage base, plus 12.8% of earnings
over one-quarter of the taxable wage base). A participant employed by the
Company on July 1, 1988 (when the Retirement Plan was converted to a cash
balance plan) also earns a transition benefit designed to provide that his
retirement benefit under the current Retirement Plan will be comparable to the
benefit he would have received under the predecessor plan. A participant earns
this transition benefit ratably over the period from July 1, 1988, to his 62nd
birthday, except that in the event of a change in control of the Company, he
will be entitled to the entire transition benefit. The accumulated service
credits and the transition benefit are credited with interest annually, in an
amount (generally, not less than 5%) established by the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Board"). A participant employed by the Company on July 1,
1988, who was eligible to retire on July 1, 1993, but who elects to retire after
that date, will receive the greater of the benefit provided by the current
Retirement Plan or a benefit comparable to the benefit provided under the
predecessor plan (determined as of July 1, 1993) with interest credits. The
normal retirement age under the Retirement Plan is 65.
Federal tax law imposes maximum payment limitations on tax
qualified-plans. The Company has adopted an Excess Benefits Plan which covers
all employees eligible to receive retirement benefits under a funded Company
tax-qualified defined benefit plan. Under the Excess Benefits Plan, the Company
will pay from its general funds any amounts that exceed the federal limitations
and any amounts that are not paid under the Retirement Plan due to earnings
being reduced by deferral of the employees' bonus payments.
-30-
The Company has also adopted a Supplemental Benefits Plan
which covers U.S.-based members of the Company's "A" and "B" Groups (as defined
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee")). Under this Supplemental Benefits Plan, the Company will pay Mr.
Magliochetti the difference between the aggregate benefits that he will receive
under the Retirement Plan and the Excess Benefits Plan and the benefit that he
would have been entitled to receive under the predecessor plan to the Retirement
Plan in effect prior to July 1, 1988. Messrs. Carroll, Franklin, Richter and
Cole, and the other "A" and "B" Group executives who were participants in the
predecessor plan to the Retirement Plan and who are not listed in the Summary
Compensation Table, are entitled to 80% of this benefit if they retire before
the end of 2004, 70% if they retire in the years 2005-2009, and no benefit if
they retire after 2009. Benefits payable under the predecessor plan are based on
the participant's credited service and "final monthly earnings," which for Mr.
Magliochetti is defined as base salary (before reduction for salary deferrals
under the Company's Savings and Investment Plan), plus bonuses paid (or that
would have been paid, but for a deferral arrangement) during the three highest
of his last ten years of employment prior to retirement, divided by 36. With
respect to Messrs. Carroll, Franklin, Richter and Cole, and the other "A" and
"B" Group executives who were participants in the predecessor plan to the
Retirement Plan and who are not listed in the Summary Compensation Table, "final
monthly earnings" is defined as base salary (before reduction for salary
deferrals under the Company's Savings and Investment Plan), plus bonuses paid
(or that would have been paid, but for a deferral arrangement) during the five
highest consecutive years of their last ten years of employment prior to
retirement, divided by 60. The types of compensation that are reported in the
Summary Compensation Table under "Salary" and "Bonus" will be used to calculate
the retirement benefits payable to these executives under the predecessor plan.
The Supplemental Benefits Plan provides for a pre-retirement death benefit. In
addition, the maximum level of bonus award that is includable under the
Supplemental Benefits Plan, as well as under the Retirement Plan, the Excess
Benefits Plan and the pension portion of Mr. Magliochetti's employment
agreement, is 125% of base salary. In the event of a change-of-control of the
Company, participants in the Excess Benefits and Supplemental Benefits Plans
will receive a lump-sum payment of all benefits previously accrued thereunder
and will be entitled to continue to accrue benefits thereunder.
The estimated monthly annuity benefits payable, starting at
age 65, as accrued through December 31, 2002, in the aggregate under the
Retirement Plan, Excess Benefits Plan and Supplemental Benefits Plan for the
Named Executive Officers, are as follows: Mr. Magliochetti, $62,647; Mr.
Carroll, $31,209; Mr. Franklin, $24,515; Mr. Richter, $21,323; and Mr. Cole,
$25,212. The benefits shown above for Mr. Magliochetti will reduce the
retirement benefit payable to him under his employment agreement (described
above).
ANNUAL INCENTIVES
The Named Executive Officers and other executive officers have
an opportunity to earn annual bonuses under the Company's Additional
Compensation Plan. Award opportunities vary, based on the individual's position
and base salary. Actual bonuses are based on the Company's success in achieving
performance objectives that are established in advance. These objectives are set
annually, based on the Company's short-term strategic direction and the current
economic climate.
-31-
The 2002 performance objectives under the Additional
Compensation Plan consisted of a hurdle (the minimum level of corporate
performance that had to be achieved for bonuses to be paid) a goal (the
corporate performance level at which bonuses equal to 60% of salary would be
paid), and performance in excess of the goal (at which bonuses up to a maximum
of 96% of salary would be paid).
For 2002, the Compensation Committee approved performance
objectives which included corporate operating income and ROIC, as well as five
strategic operating objectives tied to the Company's restructuring goals. The
Compensation Committee also approved an additional bonus modifier based on the
Company's total shareholder return relative to 24 industry peer companies. These
peer companies differ somewhat from the peer companies used for compensation
comparisons.
The Company's operating income and ROIC performance exceeded
the minimum hurdle required to earn a bonus in 2002, and the Company achieved
four of the five strategic operating objectives approved by the Compensation
Committee. Based on these results, the Compensation Committee approved bonus
payments for 2002 equal to approximately 46% of base salary for Messrs.
Magliochetti, Carroll, Franklin, Richter and Cole, based upon the performance
objectives that were approved by the Committee. There was no additional bonus
awarded as a result of the total shareholder return modifier. In order to reward
Mr. Richter for superior individual performance relating to the improvement in
the Company's liquidity and financial position, as well as his involvement in
the Company's corporate governance activities, the Compensation Committee
awarded him a discretionary additional bonus of $44,000. The annual bonuses
awarded to these five individuals, including the supplemental bonus to Mr.
Richter, under the Additional Compensation Plan, are reflected in the Summary
Compensation Table. In view of the fact that Mr. Magliochetti's total
compensation package is less than that of CEOs of comparable companies, the
Committee decided in February 2003 to award him 15,900 shares of restricted
stock. This award will be reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the 2004
Proxy Statement.
In the event of a change-of-control of the Company, unless
otherwise provided, all awards deferred under the plan, whether to a stock
account or an interest equivalent account, are paid out to participants in a
lump sum in cash.
(b) Director Compensation
---------------------
Non-employee directors are paid the following fees for their
services, in addition to reimbursement for expenses incurred: a $40,000 annual
stipend for service on the Board, a $2,500 annual stipend for service on each
Committee ($10,000 for the Committee Chairmen of the Audit, Compensation and
Advisory Committees; $5,000 for the Funds Committee Chairman), a fee of $1,000
for each Board or Committee meeting attended, and a fee of $1,000 per half day
for any special services performed at the request of the Chairman of the Board.
Non-employee directors may elect to defer payment of the
foregoing fees under the Company's Director Deferred Fee Plan. In addition, each
non-employee director receives an annual credit of 800 deferred stock units
under the Plan. Deferred fees may be credited to a stock account or an interest
equivalent account or both. Stock units are credited to a stock ac-
-32-
count based upon the amount of fees deferred and the market price of Shares.
Whenever cash dividends are paid on Shares, each stock account is credited with
additional stock units equal to the number of Shares that could have been
purchased if a cash dividend had been paid on the number of stock units
currently in the account. The number of stock units in each director's stock
account as of December 31, 2002 is shown in the table that appears under the
caption, "Stock Ownership." The value of the stock units in each stock account
at the time of distribution will be based on the market value of the Shares at
that time. Interest equivalent accounts accrue interest quarterly at the rate
for prime commercial loans. Distribution of the deferred fees, whether held in a
stock account or an interest equivalent account, is made in cash, Shares or a
combination of cash and Shares, in a lump sum or up to ten annual installments,
at the time the Director retires, dies or terminates service with the Company.
Directors may, during the five-year period following retirement or termination
of service as a director, elect to convert all or any percentage (or dollar
amount) of the stock units credited to their stock account into an equivalent
dollar balance in their interest equivalent account. In the event of a
change-of-control of the Company, all amounts deferred under the Director
Deferred Fee Plan are paid out to participants in a lump sum in cash.
All non-employee directors also participate in the Company's
stockholder-approved 1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan. This plan provides for
the automatic grant of options to purchase 3,000 Shares to each non-employee
director annually on the date of the Board's organizational meeting which is
held after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Options are priced at the fair
market value of the Shares on the date of grant and have a term of 10 years,
except in the case of the director's earlier death or retirement, when they
become exercisable within specified periods following the date of such event. In
the event of a change-of-control of the Company, all outstanding unexercised
stock options issued under the 1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan would become
fully exercisable.
(c) Equity Compensation Plan Information
------------------------------------
The following table gives information as of December 31, 2002,
about Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of options, warrants and
rights under all of the Company's existing equity compensation plans (together,
the "Equity Plans"). The table does not include the 5,000,000 additional Shares
authorized under the Incentive Plan or the 200,000 additional Shares authorized
under the Dana Corporation Directors Deferred Fee Plan, which were approved by
shareholders at the 2003 Annual Meeting.

(1) This number includes options outstanding at December 31, 2002, under the
1997 Stock Option Plan and the Company's 1993 and 1998 Directors Stock
Option Plans and under the Echlin Inc. 1992 Stock Option Plan and 1996
Non-Executive Director Stock Option Plans. The number shown does not
include: (a) 232,819 restricted stock units ("RSUs") that are outstanding
under the Company's 1989 Restricted Stock Plan, which has been approved by
the Company's shareholders; (b) 473,902 stock "units" credited to
participants' stock accounts under the Company's stockholder-approved
Additional Compensation Plan, representing deferred compensation that may
be distributed in the form of Shares when a participant terminates
employment; and (c) 101,170 stock "units" credited to non-employee
directors' stock accounts under the Company's stockholder-approved
Director Deferred Fee Plan, representing deferred fees that may be
distributed in the form of Shares when the director retires or terminates
service with the Company.
(2) This number includes the aggregate number of Shares that remain available
for future issuance, at December 31, 2002, under all of our
stockholder-approved Equity Plans. This includes 890,014 shares available
under the Company's 1999 Restricted Stock Plan, which provides for the
grant of restricted stock, 458,093 shares available (as dividend
equivalents to be credited on restricted stock awards previously granted)
under the Company's 1989 Restricted Stock Plan and 1,467,612 shares
available under the Incentive Plan. It also includes 326,086 shares
available for future issuance under the Additional Compensation Plan;
55,000 shares available under the 1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan;
47,587 shares available under the Director Deferred Fee Plan (the "DDFP")
and 4,500,000 Shares that may be issued under the Company's Employees'
Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") for sale to the ESPP Custodian. To date,
all Shares allocated to participants' accounts under the ESPP have been
obtained by the Custodian by the purchase of outstanding Shares on the
open market.
(3) This is the number of Shares available for issuance at December 31, 2002
under the Company Stock Award Plan, the only Equity Plan that has not been
approved by our shareholders. A pool of 100,000 Shares is authorized for
issuance under this Plan annually, with no carry-over of unissued Shares.
Consequently, at December 31, 2002, there were 58,530 Shares available for
future issuance under this Plan in 2002 (i.e., not issued in 2002) and at
January 1, 2003, there were 100,000 Shares available for issuance under
the Plan in 2003. This Plan was terminated as of the 2003 Annual Meeting.

(1) The Shares reported for the Named Executive Officers include restricted
stock which the officers were entitled to vote under the Company's 1989
and 1999 Restricted Stock Plans and Shares subject to options exercisable
within 60 days. Details of the officers' restricted stock ownership appear
at Note 4 to the Summary Compensation Table. Shares subject to options

for directors include Shares subject to options exercisable within 60 days
which were awarded under the 1998 Directors' Stock Option Plan.
(2) The stock units reported for the non-employee directors represent deferred
compensation credited to the directors' stock accounts under the Company's
Director Deferred Fee Plan, which is described under the caption "Director
Compensation."
The stock units reported for the Named Executive Officers represent annual
bonuses earned under the Company's Additional Compensation Plan and
deferred to the officers' stock accounts. Under this plan, the
Compensation Committee may defer payment of all or a portion of a
participant's bonus and credit the deferred amounts to a stock account, an
interest equivalent account, or both. Stock units are credited to the
participant's stock account based on the amount of the deferred bonus and
the market price of Shares. Whenever cash dividends are paid on Shares,
each stock account is credited with additional stock units equal to the
number of Shares that could have been purchased if a cash dividend had
been paid on the number of stock units currently in the account. Under the
plan, a participant may, during the five-year period following retirement
or termination of service, elect to convert all or any percentage (or
dollar amount) of the stock units credited to his stock account into an
equivalent dollar balance in the interest equivalent account.
For both the non-employee directors and the executive officers, the value
of the unconverted stock units at the time
-34-
of distribution will be based on the market value of a Share at that time.
The deferred amounts can be paid in cash, Shares or a combination of cash
and Shares, in a lump sum or annual installments, at the time the director
or executive officer retires, dies or terminates service.
