The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Allison’s earnings per share and generate annual run-rate synergies of approximately $120 million. Allison plans to finance the purchase using a combination of cash and debt.

R. Bruce McDonald, Dana Chair and CEO, said, "This agreement represents a strategic opportunity to ensure the ongoing success of the business, while allowing Dana to focus on our core priorities."

BofA Securities and KPMG LLP are serving as Allison’s financial and transaction advisors respectively, with Latham & Watkins LLP as legal advisor. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as Dana’s financial advisors, with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP serving as legal counsel.
