Analysis · DAN · Manufacturing
This filing details a new long-term incentive plan for Dana Inc.'s executive officers, excluding the CEO, through performance-vested restricted stock units (PSUs). The PSUs are designed to vest based on the company's achievement of ambitious stock price targets, ranging from $35.00 to $65.00, over a four-year performance period.
