Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 450,000,000 shares of Dana common stock, par value $0.01 per share. At  December 31, 2023, there were 144,861,465 shares of our common stock issued and 144,386,484 shares outstanding, net of 474,981 in treasury shares. Treasury shares include those shares withheld at cost to satisfy tax obligations from stock awards issued under our stock compensation plan in addition to shares repurchased through share repurchase programs.

Our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of ten cents per share of common stock in all four quarters of 2023. Aggregate 2023 cash dividends paid totaled $58. Dividends accrue on restricted stock units (RSUs) granted under our stock compensation program and will be paid in cash or additional units when the underlying units vest.

Treasury stock — On December 17, 2022, we retired 13,477,933 shares of treasury stock. The $216 excess of the cost of the treasury stock over the common stock par value, based on the weighted-average pool price of our treasury shares at the date of retirement, was charged to additional paid-in capital.
