The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase (1) all outstanding shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Dana Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the "Company"), and (2) unless and until validly redeemed by the board of directors of the Company, the associated rights to purchase shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no par value, of the Company (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 25, 1996 (as amended from time to time, the "Rights Agreement"), by and between the Company and Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services L.L.C., as Rights Agent, at a price of $15.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 9, 2003 (as amended or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Shares shall be deemed to include the associated Rights, and all references to the Rights shall be deemed to include the benefits that may inure to holders of Rights pursuant to the Rights Agreement. This Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule TO is being filed on behalf of the Purchaser and Parent. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO. The item numbers and responses thereto below are in accordance with the requirements of Schedule TO. ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by deleting the third paragraph of such Section in its entirety and replacing it with the following two paragraphs: "On August 22, 2003, Parent filed a Notification and Report Form with the FTC and the Antitrust Division under the HSR Act with respect to the Offer. The required waiting period with respect to the Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 8, 2003, unless early termination is granted or Parent receives a request for additional information and material prior thereto, in which case the waiting period will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth calendar day after Parent has substantially complied with such request. Thereafter, the waiting period may be extended only by court order or with Parent's consent. The waiting period will not be affected either by the failure of the Company (as opposed to Parent) to file a Notification and Report form or to comply with any request for additional information or materials issued by the FTC or the Antitrust Division. Parent and Purchaser are prepared to work antitrust authorities and to address any concerns such authorities may have with respect to the transaction, which could include divestitures of portions of the combined company's commercial vehicle axle assets or other businesses. Parent and Purchaser are confident that, working with the antitrust authorities, they can satisfactorily address their concerns without impairing the value of the transaction." ITEM 12.
