Commission File No.: 001-01063

Date: June 11, 2026

The following document is an email sent on June 11, 2026 by Paulo Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer of Eaton Corporation, to employees in connection with the announcement of the proposed transaction with Dana Incorporated.

Dear Team,

This morning, we announced (https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/company/news-insights/news-releases/2026/eaton-mobility-group-enters-agreement-to-combine-with-dana.html) that we have entered into a definitive agreement to combine our Mobility Group with Dana Incorporated - creating a scaled and differentiated engineered solutions partner well-positioned to serve commercial and light vehicle OEMs worldwide, as well as the associated aftermarket channels.

For Mobility:

Following the January announcement to separate the Mobility Group from Eaton, we received heightened interest in Mobility given its strong credibility and reputation in the market. After careful consideration, we concluded that combining the Mobility Group with Dana would create greater long-term value than pursuing a standalone separation.

Together, the combination of Mobility and Dana will expand presence in core markets and deliver greater value to customers by bringing together the capabilities and expertise of both teams, a broader portfolio of technologies and products, and best-in-class manufacturing capabilities. We’re proud of what our Mobility team has built, and we’re confident that this highly complementary combination will drive meaningful value for customers, employees and shareholders alike.

New, combined company leadership:

The combined company’s senior management team will include representatives from both companies and will be announced as integration planning progresses. Today, we can announce:

For Eaton:

This announcement represents a major milestone in our 2030 growth strategy to lead, invest, and execute for growth. Upon completion of the transaction, which we expect to occur in Quarter 1, 2027, Eaton will have an even more focused and optimized portfolio with its remaining businesses and will be well-positioned to capture growth opportunities driven by electrification, digitalization and AI, reindustrialization, infrastructure spending, and growth in aerospace and defense demand.

What’s next:

Since announcing our intent to separate the Mobility Group, teams across Eaton have been working diligently to prepare for this next chapter. While we will now be planning for a separation and combination with Dana instead of a standalone spin-off, much of the work underway remains the same.

Importantly, until the transaction closes in Quarter 1, 2027, Mobility Group and Dana will continue to operate as they are structured today – with our Mobility Group as part of Eaton and Dana as a separate, independent company. Day-to-day operations remain unchanged and our current leadership team - the people who know our customers, our markets and our strategy - will continue to guide the Mobility team forward over the coming months.

You can find FAQs on the Mobility Group separation employee page. They will be updated as and when we have more information to share. Specifically for our Mobility employees, you’ll hear directly from your senior leadership team today as they share more information on what this announcement means for you, our customers and our partners.

Thank you to our teams for your continued dedication and work to get to this point. This announcement is a great step forward for both Mobility and Eaton.

Sincerely,

Paulo Ruiz,

CEO, Eaton

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), this communication includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”), such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow margin. These Non-GAAP Measures should not be used in isolation or as a substitute or alternative to results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Dana’s and Eaton’s definitions of these Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP Measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP can be found in Dana’s filings with the SEC except for financial guidance and other forward-looking information since such a reconciliation is not practicable without unreasonable effort as Dana is unable to reasonably forecast certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.
