In accordance with the previously disclosed executive succession plan of Joy Global Inc. (the “Company”), on December 18, 2013 Michael W.

Mr. Doheny, 51, served as the Company’s Executive Vice President and President and Chief Operating Officer of the Underground Mining Equipment division since 2006.

On December 18, 2013, the Company also elected Randal W. Baker to the new position of corporate Chief Operating Officer. In this capacity, Mr. Baker, 50, will oversee both the Surface Mining Equipment and the Underground Mining Equipment divisions. Mr. Baker served as Executive Vice President of the Company and President and Chief Operating Officer of the Surface Mining Equipment division since 2009.
Neither Mr. Doheny nor Mr. Baker, nor their respective immediate family members, is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction for which disclosure would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The Committee’s decision affects 12,424 restricted stock units, representing restricted stock units granted in December 2009 and 2010 and additional restricted stock units accrued in lieu of dividends since the date of the initial grants. The restricted stock units will continue to vest and be settled pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement applicable to each grant of restricted stock units.
