         Effective  November 1, 1996, AGCO Corporation  ("the Company")  entered
into an  agreement  with De Lage  Landen  International,  B.V.,  a wholly  owned
subsidiary of Cooperatieve  Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank Nederland"
(together,  "Rabobank") to be its joint venture partner in Agricredit Acceptance
Company ("Agricredit"), the Company's retail finance subsidiary in North America
(the "Agricredit Joint Venture"). As a result of the agreement, the Company sold
a  51%  interest  in  Agricredit  to  Rabobank.   The  Company   received  total

the Company will retain a 49% interest in the finance company. Substantially all
of the net  assets  of  Agricredit  were  transferred  to the  Agricredit  Joint
Venture.  At September 30, 1996,  Agricredit  had total assets of  approximately

<PAGE>
                         PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Income are based on the historical
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, adjusted to give effect to the
following as if it had occurred on January 1, 1995: (i) the disposition of a 51%
interest in Agricredit,  (ii) the  acquisition of certain assets and liabilities
of the agricultural and industrial equipment business of Iochpe-Maxion S.A. (the
" Maxion  Acquisition") on June 28,1996,  (iii) the Company's issuance in March
1996 of $250.0  million of its 8-1/2%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2006 (the
"March Offering") and the application of the net proceeds therefrom and (iv) the
Company's  replacement  in March 1996 of its $550.0  million  secured  revolving
credit  facilities  (the "Old  Credit  Facility")  with a new five year  $650.0
million  unsecured  multi-currency  revolving  credit  facility (the "New Credit
Facility").  The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30,1996 is
based  on the  historical  Consolidated  Financial  Statement  of  the  Company,
adjusted to give effect to the disposition of a 51% interest in Agricredit as if
the transaction had occurred on September 30, 1996.

     The Maxion  Acquisition  was  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of
accounting. The total purchase price for the Maxion Acquisition was allocated to
tangible  and  identifiable  intangible  assets and  liabilities  based upon the
Company's  preliminary  estimates  of their fair  values with the excess of cost
over net assets acquired  allocated to goodwill.  The allocation of the purchase
price for this  acquisition is subject to revision when  additional  information
concerning  asset and  liability  valuations  is obtained.  The Company does not
believe that the asset and  liability  valuation  for this  acquisition  will be
materially  different  from the pro  forma  information  presented  herein.  For
purposes of presenting  pro forma  results,  no changes in revenues and expenses
have been made to reflect the results of any  modification  to  operations  that
might  have been made had such  transactions  been  consummated  on the  assumed
effective date of the transactions. The pro forma expenses include the recurring
costs which are directly  attributable to these  transactions,  such as interest
expense,  depreciation  expense and  amortization of the excess of cost over net
assets acquired.

     The Pro Forma Financial  Information does not purport to represent what the
Company's  results of operations or financial  position would actually have been
had such  transactions  actually occurred on any of the dates set forth above or
to project the Company's results of operations for any future period.
