Information to be Included in the Report

As previously announced on November 2, 2020, Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”) entered into a definitive agreement with Dana Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Dana”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the liquid-cooled portion of its automotive business to Dana, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.  As a part of the ongoing regulatory approval process in Germany, Dana and the Company have mutually agreed to the voluntary withdrawal of the current regulatory filing for approval of the transaction.

Dana and the Company are working together to modify the perimeter of the Company’s liquid-cooled portion of its automotive business in Europe and expect to resubmit the revised plan for regulatory approval by the end of June.
