Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the disposition of Terex Corporation’s (“Terex” or the “Company”) Material Handling and Port Solutions business (the “MHPS Business”) described in Item 2.01 below (the “Disposition”), the Company received, among other consideration, 19,600,000 shares of newly issued Konecranes Plc (“Konecranes”) Class B stock. The Company and Konecranes entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”), dated as of January 4, 2017, providing for certain restrictions, including Terex’s commitment that it will not directly or indirectly sell or otherwise transfer the shares of Konecranes stock received by the Company for a period of three months, subject to certain exceptions, including transfers to affiliates. In addition, under the Stockholders Agreement, Terex is subject to certain standstill obligations for a four-year period, as well as some limited obligations following the initial four-year period. Terex also has customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement between Terex and Konecranes entered into on January 4, 2017 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The foregoing summaries of the Stockholders Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement set forth above are qualified by reference to such agreements filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the previously announced Disposition to Konecranes and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of that certain Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “SAPA”) between the Company and Konecranes, dated as of May 16, 2016, as amended. The Company received 19,600,000 shares of newly issued Konecranes Class B stock and approximately $595 million and €200 million cash, as adjusted for estimated amounts of cash, debt, working capital and the Stahl Crane Systems (“Stahl”) divestiture being undertaken by Konecranes in connection with the Disposition. The final Disposition consideration will be adjusted based on the actual amounts of cash, debt, working capital, 2016 MHPS Business EBITDA, the 2015 EBITDA of Stahl and the Stahl divestiture proceeds. The foregoing summary of the SAPA set forth above is qualified by reference to such agreement, as amended, which are included as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a Transition Services Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2017, under which the parties will provide one another certain transition services to facilitate the separation of the MHPS Business being disposed from the businesses being retained by the Company and interim operations of the MHPS Business being acquired by Konecranes.

As part of the Disposition, Konecranes’ articles of association were amended to create the new class of B shares. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement and amended articles of association, Terex will be entitled to nominate up to two members to the Board of Directors of Konecranes as long as Terex’s or its group companies' shareholding in Konecranes exceeds certain agreed thresholds. Terex's initial Board nominees are David Sachs and Oren Shaffer as of closing of the transaction.
