Some terms of the original agreement with Dongfeng signed on 10 March, 2005, were renegotiated after Dana filed for reorganisation under Chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy code in March 2006.


Under the amendments and other agreements signed by both companies – and subject to government approvals, Dana Mauritius will make an initial payment of RMB38.8m (about $US5m) to Dongfeng for a 4% equity interest in the joint venture. Closing of this part of the transaction is expected to be completed by the end of March 2007.


Dana Mauritius will purchase the remaining 46% equity interest after 1 April, 2008, and within three years of receiving government approvals.


Dana Mauritius will invest in an existing Dongfeng subsidiary, which is China’s largest commercial vehicle axle manufacturer, to form Dongfeng Dana Axle. Headquartered in Xiangfan, China, the joint venture company will employ approximately 8,000 employees in three production facilities in Xiangfan and Shiyan, as well as a research and development centre that will be established.
