Dana Corporation has filed a motion in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which has jurisdiction over its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, to amend its $US1.45bn debtor-in- possession (DIP) credit agreement. The motion will heard on 24 January.

Among other things, Dana intends to reduce the amount of its unused revolving credit facility under the DIP credit agreement to correspond with changes in its borrowing base.
As it continues to sell its non-core assets, these changes will adjust the structure of Dana’s debt facilities to more closely align with the needs of the business, the company said in a statement.
In order to ensure that Dana continues to have adequate liquidity it is seeking court approval for an increase in the amount available under its term loan facility from $700 million to $900 million, as well as financial covenant modifications and technical changes to its DIP credit agreement.
Citigroup Corporate and Investment Banking, the administrative agent for the lenders under the DIP credit agreement, has agreed to underwrite the proposed increase in the term loan facility.
