Acquisitions and Divestitures | Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures SIFCO — In February 2011, we entered into an agreement with SIFCO, a leading producer of steer axles and forged components in South America. In return for a payment of $150 to SIFCO, we acquired the distribution rights to SIFCO's commercial vehicle steer axle systems as well as an exclusive long-term supply agreement for key driveline components. Additionally, SIFCO will provide selected assets and assistance to Dana to establish assembly capabilities for these systems. We are now responsible for all customer relationships, including marketing, sales, engineering and assembly. The addition of truck and bus steer axles to our product offering in South America effectively positions us as the leading full-line supplier of commercial vehicle drivelines — including front and rear axles, driveshafts and suspension systems — in South America. This acquisition contributed $390 to 2011 sales. Dongfeng Dana Axle — On June 30, 2011, we purchased an additional 46% interest in Dongfeng Dana Axle Co., Ltd. (DDAC), a commercial vehicle axle manufacturer in China, from Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (Dongfeng Motor) and certain of its affiliates for $124 plus $6 of transaction costs. Combined with the 4% interest purchased in June 2007, we now own 50% of the registered capital of DDAC. This investment is being accounted for under the equity method. In connection with our increase in ownership, DDAC entered into an agreement with a Dongfeng Motor affiliate that provides for reductions in the selling price of goods sold by DDAC to such affiliate for a period of up to four years if the earnings of DDAC surpass specified targets. Dana’s share of DDAC’s earnings could be reduced by an amount not to exceed $20. We have concluded that the impact of this agreement comprises contingent consideration and have preliminarily recorded $5 as the fair value of the contingent consideration. Our additional investment in DDAC, inclusive of fees and contingent consideration, was recorded at its fair value of $135, an excess of $70 over the corresponding DDAC book value. This fair value increase has preliminarily been allocated as follows: (1) amortizable intangible assets of $18; (2) property, plant and equipment of $16; (3) inventories of $1; (4) goodwill of $42; and (5) deferred tax liabilities of $7. The increase in basis related to property, plant and equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the assets ranging from 10 to 45 years. The amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the assets ranging from four to 15 years. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary valuation estimates and subject to adjustment as the valuations are finalized. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations of Dana as if the additional 46% investment in DDAC had been acquired on January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of operations of Dana that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented and should not be taken as representative of the future results of operations of Dana.

Axles India — On June 30, 2011, we acquired the axle drive head and final assembly business of our Axles India Limited (AIL) equity affiliate for $13. This business is reported in our Commercial Vehicle segment. This transaction is being accounted for as a business combination. We expect the aggregate fair value of the net assets acquired to approximate the $13 paid to AIL. The estimated fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows: accounts receivable of $1; inventories of $3; equipment of $3; intangible assets of $11; and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $5. The purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to adjustment as the valuations are finalized. Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems — In October 2011, we formed a 50/50 joint venture with Bosch Rexroth to develop and manufacture advanced powersplit drive transmissions for the off-highway market. We contributed $8 to the venture in 2011 and are accounting for our investment under the equity method. Divestiture of GETRAG Entities — On September 30, 2011, we completed the divestitures of our 49% equity interest in GETRAG Corporation and our 42% equity interest in GETRAG Dana Holding GmbH (together the GETRAG Entities) for $136. A $60 gain was recorded in the third quarter of 2011 in connection with the divestitures and included in other income, net. Divestiture of Structural Products business — In December 2009, we signed an agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of our Structural Products business to Metalsa S.A. de C.V. (Metalsa), the largest vehicle frame and structures supplier in Mexico. The agreement excluded the facility in Longview, Texas and the employees and manufacturing assets related to a significant customer contract that will continue until the middle of 2012. We judged these retained activities to be a significant portion of the Structural Products operating segment and concluded that the divested operations did not comprise a component of an entity. Accordingly, the portion of the Structural Products business sold to Metalsa has not been presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. We had received cash proceeds of $134 through the end of 2011, excluding amounts related to working capital adjustments and tooling. Approximately $13 remained as a receivable at the end of 2011 with a corresponding amount held in escrow. Approximately $11 of the funds held in escrow was to be released to Dana in September 2011; however, the buyer presented claims to the escrow agent seeking indemnification from Dana. The escrow agent is precluded from releasing the funds held in escrow until Dana and the buyer resolve the issues underlying the claims. We are evaluating the claims and do not presently believe that any obligation to indemnify the buyer will be material. In connection with the sale, leases covering three U.S. facilities were assigned to a U.S. affiliate of Metalsa. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we will guarantee the affiliate’s performance under the leases, which run through June 2025, including approximately $6 of annual payments. In the event of a required payment by Dana as guarantor, we are entitled to pursue full recovery from Metalsa of the amounts paid under the guarantee and to take possession of the leased property. Other — We are negotiating the divestiture of our axle, differential and brake systems business serving the leisure, all-terrain-vehicle and utility vehicle markets. Sales of the business approximated $53 and $59 in 2011 and 2010. Based on the expected sales price, we recorded an asset impairment of $2 in the first quarter of 2012. The assets of the business approximate $14, including $3 of property, plant and equipment, and liabilities approximate $6. These amounts are not material for reporting as items held for sale separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2012.
