Dauch Corporation (formerly American Axle) filed its annual report describing a major transformation of the business. The company completed a ~$1.7 billion acquisition of Dowlais Group plc, issuing about 117 million new shares and increasing authorized shares from 150 million to 375 million.
Dauch is now a global driveline and metal forming supplier serving internal combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles across 24 countries and more than 175 locations.

To finance growth, the combined company carries about $5.4 billion of debt, alongside significant pension obligations, and highlights risks from leverage, supply chain disruptions, labor relations and the industry shift toward electrified vehicles.
