TEREX ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT TO DIVEST CERTAIN ROADBUILDING ASSETS AND OPERATIONS

Terex has determined that it will be exiting the remaining roadbuilding product lines that it manufactures in Oklahoma City, and has taken charges in connection with the business assets being sold and the remaining Oklahoma City roadbuilding assets to reflect the likely realizable value in a transaction. The amount of these charges that will impact the fourth quarter 2012 results, when reported, is approximately $15 million. Terex will continue manufacturing operations in Oklahoma City for its product lines not affected by this transaction.

Ron DeFeo, Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented “The decision to exit most of our roadbuilding product lines is another step in the repositioning of Terex. We continue to focus on improving our Construction segment performance as well as the Company’s overall returns on invested capital, and this transaction is part of that process.”
