S&P ups Dana, rates notes BB-

Standard & Poor's said it raised the corporate credit rating on Dana Holding Corp. to BB- from B+, and assigned a BB- rating and 3 recovery rating to its proposed $700 million senior unsecured notes.

The notes are expected to be issued in two tranches with maturity dates of 2019 and 2021, S&P said.

The outlook is stable.

The upgrade reflects a reassessment of the company's financial risk profile to significant from aggressive, given the company's improved credit measures in the past nine months, S&P said.

The company's recent track record of free cash flow generation is sustainable, the agency said, and there is not any significant near-term debt maturities after the repayment of its term loan.
