1,264,756 Warrants
3,900,000 Shares
TEREX CORPORATION
Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Common Stock
---------------------------------
This Prospectus relates to the registration of (i) 1,264,756 common stock
purchase warrants (the "Series A Warrants") exercisable for shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Terex Corporation (the
"Company") and (ii) the shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") which have
been previously issued or are issuable upon exercise or redemption of the Series
A Warrants. The Series A Warrants were issued by the Company, together with
1,200,000 shares of the Company's Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible
Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred
Stock"), in a private placement effected on December 20, 1993. All of the Series
A Warrants and Warrant Shares are being registered for resale by the holders
thereof (the "Selling Security Holders"). See "Selling Security Holders." The
Warrant Shares are also being registered for their issuance to persons who
acquire the Series A Warrants after the date hereof upon their exercise of the
Warrants. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale by
the Selling Security Holders of the Series A Warrants or the Warrant Shares. The
Company will receive proceeds of $.01 per Warrant Share issued upon exercise of
the Series A Warrants.
The Series A Warrants are exercisable until 5:00 p.m., New York time, on
December 31, 2000 (unless earlier redeemed). As of the date of this Prospectus,
each Series A Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase, at an exercise price
of $.01 per share, 2.41 Warrant Shares (the "Warrant Ratio"). The Company has
reserved 3,820,587 shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of the
Series A Warrants, being the maximum number of shares that will initially be
issuable. The Warrant Ratio is subject to increase upon the occurrence of
certain events relating to the Company's obligation to effect the registration
of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. The Warrant Ratio is also subject to
adjustment upon the occurrence of certain dilutive events. See "Description of
Securities -- Series A Warrants."
The Series A Warrants may be redeemed by the Company in whole, but not in part,
at any time, for a number of Warrant Shares equal to the Warrant Ratio on the
date of redemption, if, concurrently with such redemption, the Company redeems
all then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the
trading symbol "TEX." On May 10, 1996, the closing price of the Common Stock on
the NYSE was $8.125 per share. See "Market for Common Stock and Dividend
Policy." The Warrant Shares have been approved for listing on the NYSE, subject
to issuance.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Series A
Warrants. The Company does not intend to list the Series A Warrants on any
securities exchange or to seek approval for quotation of the Series A Warrants
through any automated quotation system. There can be no assurance that an active
market for the Series A Warrants will develop.
The Selling Security Holders directly, through agents designated from time to
time, or through dealers or underwriters also to be designated, may sell the
Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares from time to time on terms to be determined
at the time of sale through customary brokerage channels or private sales at
market prices then prevailing or at negotiated prices then obtainable. To the
extent required, the specific Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares to be sold,
names of the Selling Security Holders, purchase price, public offering price,
the names of any such agent, dealer or underwriter, amount of expenses of the
offering and any applicable commission or discount with respect to a particular
offer will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. Each of the
Selling Security Holders reserves the sole right to accept and, together with
its agents from time to time, to reject in whole or in part any proposed
purchase of Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares made directly or through agents.
See "Plan of Distribution" for indemnification arrangements among the Company
and the Selling Security Holders.

investors, see "Risk Factors."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in
conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements and
notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Investors should carefully
consider the information set forth under the caption "Risk Factors."
The Company
Terex Corporation ("Terex" or the "Company") is a global provider of capital
goods and equipment used in the mining, commercial building, infrastructure,
manufacturing and construction industries. The Company's Material Handling
Segment designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of internal combustion
("IC") and electric lift trucks, electric walkies, automated pallet trucks and
related components and replacement parts. The Heavy Equipment Segment designs,
manufactures and markets heavy-duty, off-highway, earthmoving and construction
equipment and related components and replacement parts. The Mobile Cranes
Segment designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes, aerial platforms,
container stackers and scrap handlers and related components and replacement
parts. See "The Company" and "Business."
The Mobile Cranes Segment was established as a separate business segment as a
result of a significant acquisition in 1995. On May 9, 1995, the Company,
through Terex Cranes, Inc., a Delaware corporation which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Terex Cranes"), completed the acquisition (the "PPM
Acquisition") of substantially all of the shares of P.P.M. S.A., a societe
anonyme, and certain subsidiaries ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., a societe
anonyme, and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("PPM North America;" and PPM North America together with
PPM Europe collectively referred to as "PPM"), from Legris Industries S.A., a
societe anonyme ("Legris France"). PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile
cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe
under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and
BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company
contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes and
Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The former division now
operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes
("Koehring"). Koehring manufactures mobile cranes under the LORAIN brand name
and aerial lift equipment under the MARKLIFT brand name. PPM and Koehring
comprise Terex Cranes, Inc., the Company's Mobile Cranes Segment.
The Offering
On December 20, 1993 (the "Issue Date"), the Company completed the private
placement of (i) 1,300,000 common stock purchase warrants (the "Series A
Warrants") exercisable for shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of the Company and (ii) 1,200,000 shares of the Company's
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A
Preferred Stock"), to institutional investors for aggregate gross proceeds to
the Company of $30.2 million. Jefferies & Company, Inc. ("Jefferies") was the
placement agent for the sale of the Series A Warrants and Series A Preferred
Stock. The Series A Warrants were issued pursuant to the terms of a Series A
Warrant Agreement dated as of December 20, 1993 (the "Series A Warrant
Agreement") between the Company and Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services L.L.C.,
as Series A Warrant Agent (the "Series A Warrant Agent").
In connection with the sale of the Series A Warrants, the Company and the
purchasers of the Series A Warrants entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of December 20, 1993 (the "Series A Warrant Registration Rights
Agreement") relating to the Series A Warrants and the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise or redemption of the Series A Warrants (the "Warrant
Shares"). Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Warrant Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company agreed to file the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part and is required to maintain the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement until all Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares have been
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

<PAGE>
RISK FACTORS
In addition to other matters described in this Prospectus, the following should
be carefully considered in connection with an investment in the Series A
Warrants and the Warrant Shares:
Significant Leverage
The Company is highly leveraged. At December 31, 1995, the Company had
approximately $337.5 million of indebtedness and stockholders' deficit of $98.8
million.
On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the refinancing of substantially all of
its outstanding debt (the "Refinancing"). The Refinancing included the private
placement to institutional investors of $250 million of 13.25% Senior Secured
Notes due May 15, 2002 (the "Senior Secured Notes"), repayment of the Company's
existing senior secured notes and senior subordinated notes, totaling
approximately $152.6 million principal amount, and entry into a new credit
facility to replace the Company's existing lending facility in the U.S.
This substantial leverage has several important consequences, including the
following: (i) a substantial portion of the Company's cash flow from operations
will be dedicated to the payment of principal of, and interest on, its
indebtedness, (ii) the covenants contained in the Company's indebtedness impose
certain restrictions on the Company which, among other things, will limit its
ability to borrow additional funds or to dispose of assets, (iii) the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital,
capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes
may be impaired, and (iv) the Company's ability to withstand competitive
pressures, adverse economic conditions and adverse changes in governmental
regulations, to make acquisitions, and to take advantage of significant business
opportunities that may arise, may be negatively impacted. The Company's ability
to meet its debt service obligations and to reduce its total indebtedness will
be dependent upon future performance, which will be subject to general economic
conditions, its ability to achieve cost savings and other financial, business
and other factors affecting the operations of the Company, many of which are
beyond its control. The Company has historically sustained significant losses
and, prior to the Refinancing, net cash from operating activities was
insufficient to meet the Company's debt service requirements, which the Company
funded primarily from asset sales. If the Company is unable to generate
sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service its debt, it may
be required to refinance all or a portion of such debt, including the new Senior
Secured Notes, or to obtain additional financing. However, there can be no
assurance that any refinancing would be possible or that any additional
financing could be obtained.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for discussion of the Company's
efforts to improve its capital structure and reduce its outstanding
indebtedness.
Absence of Public Market for the Series A Warrants
As of May 6, 1996 there were 51 holders of the Series A Warrants. There has
previously been no public market for the Series A Warrants. The Company does not
intend to list the Series A Warrants on any securities exchange or to seek
approval for quotation through any automated quotation system. There can be no
assurance that an active market for the Series A Warrants will develop. In
addition, resales of a substantial percentage of the outstanding Series A
Warrants could constrain the ability of any market maker to develop or maintain
a market for the Series A Warrants. To the extent that a market for the Series A
Warrants does develop, the market value of the Series A Warrants will depend on
the price of the Common Stock, general economic conditions, the Company's
financial condition and other conditions and may be subject to substantial price
volatility.
Effect of Future Sales of Common Stock on the Value of the Warrants
The Company is unable to predict the effect, if any, that any future sales of
Common Stock, including the shares of Common Stock covered hereby, will have on
the market price of the Common Stock and, therefore, indirectly, the value of
the Series A Warrants, prevailing from time to time.
As of March 31, 1996, Randolph W. Lenz, formerly Chairman of the Board and a
Director of the Company, is the beneficial owner, directly and indirectly, of
approximately 42% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Mr. Lenz
currently pledges, and intends to pledge in the future, shares of Common Stock
owned by him as collateral for loans. See "Principal Stockholders." If Mr. Lenz
does not pay such loans when due, the pledgee may have the right to sell the
shares of Common Stock pledged to it in satisfaction of Mr. Lenz's obligations.
The sale or other disposition of a substantial amount of such shares of Common
Stock in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price
for the Common Stock and, therefore, indirectly, the value of the Series A
Warrants. Mr. Lenz retired as Chairman of the Board and a Director of the
Company on August 28, 1995, and currently serves as a consultant to the Company.
See "Management -- Retirement of Randolph W. Lenz."
Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement dated December 20, 1993
relating to the Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock
Registration Rights Agreement"), the Company filed with the Commission a shelf
registration statement covering the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock and the 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock which may be issuable upon
conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The sale or other disposition of a
substantial number of such shares of Common Stock in the public market could
adversely affect the prevailing market price for the Common Stock and,
therefore, the value of the Series A Warrants.
Restrictions on Dividends
Contractual restrictions exist which limit the Company's ability to pay
dividends on its capital stock. The terms of the Series A Preferred Stock also
limit the Company's ability to pay cash dividends on any class of capital stock
of the Company junior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock. See
"Description of Securities -- Series A Preferred Stock." The Company does not
plan on paying dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. In
addition, under Delaware law the Company's ability to pay dividends is subject
to the statutory limitation that such payment be either (i) out of its surplus
(the excess of its net assets over its total liabilities plus stated capital) or
(ii) in the event that there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the
fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
See "Market for Common Stock and Dividend Policy."
Environmental and Related Matters
The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws
and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a
continuing basis. The Company may also have contingent responsibility for
liabilities of certain of its subsidiaries with respect to environmental matters
if such subsidiaries were to fail to discharge their obligations to the extent
that such liabilities arose during the period in which the Company was a
controlling shareholder.
Net Operating Loss Carryovers and Other Tax Issues
The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") is currently examining the Company's
federal tax returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the
Company received an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax
deficiency based on this examination. The examination report raises a variety of
issues, including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken
during this period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss
carryovers ("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future taxable
income. If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount of the
tax assessment would be approximately $56 million plus interest and penalties.
If the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment, it
could have a material adverse impact on the Company and could exceed the
Company's resources. The Company has filed its administrative appeal to the
examination report. Although management believes that the Company will be able
to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions
questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial support for the Company's
past and future utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this matter is
subject to the resolution of significant legal and factual issues. If the
Company's positions prevail on the most significant issues, management believes
that the amounts due would not exceed amounts previously paid or provided;
however, even under such circumstances, it is possible that the Company's NOL's
could be reduced to some extent. No additional accruals have been made for any
amounts which might be due as a result of this matter because the possible loss
ranges from zero to $56 million plus interest and penalties and the ultimate
outcome cannot presently be determined or estimated.
In addition, Randolph W. Lenz has retired as Chairman of the Company. Although
his retirement agreement places certain restrictions on his ability to sell his
shares of Common Stock in the Company, in the event that Mr. Lenz is able to
sell a substantial portion of his shares in the Company, such sale, in
combination with the issuance of the Series A Warrants in December 20, 1993 and
subject to the effects of other changes in share ownership of the Company, could
result in a change in control for tax purposes. Such a change in control for tax
purposes could possibly result in a significant reduction in the amount of NOL's
available to the Company to offset future taxable income.
<PAGE>
SEC Investigation
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in March of 1994
initiated a private investigation, which included the Company and certain of its
then affiliates, to determine whether violations of certain aspects of the
Federal securities laws have taken place. The Company is cooperating with the
Commission in its investigation and it is not possible at this time to determine
the outcome of the Commission's investigation. During 1995 the Company incurred
$0.3 million of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, directors and
executives of the Company and KCS. In general, under the Company's by-laws, the
Company is obligated to indemnify Officers and Directors, for all liabilities
arising in the course of their duties on behalf of the Company. To date, no
Officer or Director has had legal representation separate from the Company's
legal representation, and no allocation of the legal fees for such
representation has been made.
Industry Cyclicality and Substantial Competition
Sales of products to be manufactured and sold by the Company have historically
been subject to substantial cyclical variation extending over a number of years
based on general economic conditions. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive. The Company
must remain competitive in the areas of quality, price, product line, ease of
use, safety, comfort and customer service. Many of the Company's competitors
have greater financial resources than the Company. See "Business" for further
discussion.
Foreign Operations
The Company's products are sold in over 50 countries around the world and,
accordingly, a substantial portion of the revenues of the Company are generated
in foreign currencies, while the costs associated with these revenues are only
partially incurred in the same currencies. Consequently, the Company has a net
exposure to fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies,
which impacts the financial performance of the Company. Although revenues and
costs of the Company may be partially hedged, currency movements will impact the
Company's financial performance in the future. In addition, international
operations are subject to a number of potential risks, including, among others,
currency exchange controls, transfer restrictions and rate fluctuations, trade
barriers, the effects of income and withholding tax, and governmental
expropriation.
THE COMPANY
Terex is a global provider of capital goods and equipment used in the mining,
commercial building, infrastructure, manufacturing and construction industries.
The Company's operations began in 1983 with the purchase of Northwest
Engineering Company, the Company's original business and name. Since 1983,
management has expanded the Company's business through a series of acquisitions.
In 1988, Northwest Engineering Company merged into a subsidiary acquired in 1986
named Terex Corporation, with Terex Corporation as the surviving corporation.
The Company's Material Handling Segment designs, manufactures and markets a
complete line of internal combustion ("IC") and electric lift trucks, electric
walkies, automated pallet trucks and related components and replacement parts.
The Heavy Equipment Segment designs, manufactures and markets heavy-duty,
off-highway, earthmoving and contruction equipment and related components and
replacement parts. The Mobile Cranes Segment designs, manufactures and markets
mobile cranes, aerial platforms, container stackers and scrap holders and
related components and replacement parts.
The Mobile Cranes Segment was established as a separate business segment as a
result of a significant acquisition in 1995. On May 9, 1995, the Company,
through Terex Cranes, a recently formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
completed the PPM Acquisition. PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile
cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe
under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and
BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company
contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring and Marklift
division to Terex Cranes. The former division now operates as Koehring, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes. Koehring manufactures mobile cranes under the
LORAIN brand name and aerial lift equipment under the MARKLIFT brand name. PPM
and Koehring comprise Terex Cranes, Inc., the Company's Mobile Cranes Segment.
The Company has grown through acquisitions and has had considerable experience
in restructuring and operating capital goods manufacturers, particularly in the
off-road truck and construction and industrial equipment industries. Following
an acquisition, in order to improve profitability, the Company traditionally (i)
consolidates manufacturing operations, (ii) adjusts new equipment production
capacity to meet the actual level of demand in the marketplace, (iii) reduces
corporate overhead and (iv) emphasizes that portion of the business that yields
the highest margins, particularly the replacement parts business. More
specifically, this strategy involves elimination of marginally profitable or
unprofitable product lines, closing underutilized and inefficient plants,
liquidating excess inventories and substantially reducing personnel.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 500 Post Road
East, Westport, Connecticut 06880 and its telephone number is (203) 222-7170.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company will receive proceeds of $.01 per Warrant Share issued upon exercise
of the Series A Warrants, for an aggregate amount of up to $12,648. The Company
will use such proceeds for general corporate purposes. All Series A Warrants and
Warrant Shares covered hereby being registered for resale are being so
registered for the account of the Selling Security Holders and, accordingly, the
Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of the Series A
Warrants or Warrant Shares by the Selling Security Holders.

No dividends were declared or paid in 1994 or in 1995. Certain of the Company's
debt agreements contain restrictions as to the payment of cash dividends. Under
the most restrictive of these agreements, $3.0 million was available for
dividends at December 31, 1995. In addition, the Company's debt agreements
generally limit payment of cash dividends by the Company in excess of $3.0
million to 40% of the Company's net income, if any. The terms of the Company's
outstanding Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and Series B Cumulative
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series B
Preferred Stock") also restrict the Company's ability to pay cash dividends on
the Common Stock. The Company intends generally to retain earnings, if any, to
fund the development and growth of its business. The Company does not plan on
paying dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any future
payments of cash dividends will depend upon the financial condition, capital
requirements and earnings of the Company, as well as other factors that the
Board of Directors may deem relevant.
As of March 31, 1996, there were 783 stockholders of record of the Company's
Common Stock.

(2) The Credit Facility currently provides for revolving credit loans and
guarantees of letters of credit of up to $100 million and matures on May 9,
1998. The Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate based on 1.75%
per annum in excess of the prime rate or 3.75% per annum in excess of the
adjusted eurodollar rate at the Company's option. Borrowings under the Credit
Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's domestic
accounts receivable and inventory. See "The Credit Facility," below.
(3) See Note F -- "Long Term Obligations" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, included elsewhere in this Prospectus, for a description of the
Company's other debt.
The Senior Secured Notes
On May 9, 1995, the Company issued $250 million of Senior Secured Notes due May
15, 2002. Except in the event of certain asset sales, there are no principal
repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. Interest on the Senior
Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year,
commencing on November 15, 1995, to holders of record on the immediately
preceding May 1 and November 1, respectively. The Senior Secured Notes bear
interest at 13.75% per annum. Upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of an
Exchange Offer (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes) and (ii) the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Senior
Secured Notes), the interest rate on the Senior Secured Notes will decrease to
13.25% per annum. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised
of twelve 30-day months.
The Senior Secured Notes are senior obligations of the Company, pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to
all subordinated indebtedness. Repayment of the Senior Secured Notes are
guaranteed by certain domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the
"Guarantors"). The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security
interest on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors,
other than cash and cash equivalents, except that as to accounts receivable and
inventory and proceeds thereof, and certain related rights, such security shall
be subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working
capital or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts receivable and
inventory, including the Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Notes are also
secured by a lien on certain assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The
Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue,
pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; sell assets; consolidate, merge or
transfer assets to another entity; and enter into transactions with affiliates.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued
one million stock appreciation rights ("SARs") entitling the holders to receive
cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, in an amount equal to the
average closing sale price of the Common Stock for 60 trading days prior to the
date of exercise less $7.288 for each SAR.
The foregoing description is a summary of the terms of the Senior Secured Notes
and Indenture and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents,
copies of which are filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part.
The Credit Facility
The Company currently has a secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with certain institutional lenders (the "Lenders"). Under the terms
of such facility, the Company and Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC"),
Koehring and PPM North America, each a subsidiary of the Company, (collectively,
the "Borrowers") will have availability, subject to the borrowing base
limitations set forth below, in an aggregate amount of up to $100 million.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Facility, the
Borrowers may borrow (in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 million in
outstanding letters of credit) an amount at any time outstanding initially
equalling the sum of the following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible
receivables (as defined in the Credit Facility) of the Company, Koehring and PPM
North America, plus (ii) 70% of the net amount of eligible receivables of CMHC,
plus (iii) the lesser of (a) 45% of the value of eligible inventory (as defined
in the Credit Facility) of the Borrowers or (b) 80% of the appraised orderly
liquidation value of eligible inventory.
Each Borrower guarantees, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations
of the other Borrowers under the Credit Facility, which obligations will
generally be secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the
Lenders in all of the receivables and inventory and certain related rights of
the Borrowers.
The outstanding principal amount of prime rate loans initially bears interest at
the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and the outstanding
principal amount of Eurodollar rate loans initially bears interest at the rate
of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate. The Credit
Facility contains covenants limiting the Borrowers' activities, including,
without limitation, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, asset
sales, dividends and other payments, investments, mergers and related party
transactions.
The Credit Facility matures on May 9, 1998. The Lenders, at their option, may
extend the facility for one additional year. In the event that for any reason
the facility is terminated prior to the maturity date, the Borrowers must pay to
the Lenders a termination fee.
The foregoing description is a summary of the terms of the Credit Facility and
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 9, 1995 between the Lenders and
the Borrowers, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

<PAGE>
Prior to the PPM Acquisition on May 9, 1995, the Company operated in two
industry segments during the periods presented herein: material handling and
heavy equipment. The addition of the PPM business to the Company's existing
crane and aerial lift business has created combined mobile crane operations
sufficient in size to constitute a third industry segment. The 1994 amounts
presented above have been reclassified to a three segment basis for consistency.
The Terex Cranes results for periods prior to May 1995 consist solely of
Koehring's operations.
Net Sales
Sales increased $243.4 to $1,030.2, or approximately 31%, for 1995 versus 1994.
Material Handling Segment sales were $528.8 for 1995, an increase of $56.1 from
$472.7 in 1994. The sales mix was approximately 18% parts in 1995 compared to
19% in 1994. Machine sales increased 12%, primarily because of increased output
resulting from actions taken by management during 1994 and shipments of the new
Genesis line of IC trucks, introduced in December 1994. The light IC market, in
which this product competes, represents approximately 60% of the rider lift
truck industry. Management believes this product is superior to competitors'
products in performance, reliability and operator comfort, and is designed to
achieve reduced production costs. Parts sales increased 6% because of improved
parts inventory availability partially offset by the adverse effects of a labor
strike at the Company's parts distribution center. The strike has not had a
material continuing effect on parts sales.
Material Handling Segment bookings for 1995 were $471.8, an increase of $13.0,
or 3%, from 1994. Backlog at the Material Handling Segment fell from $135.9 at
December 31, 1994 to $78.9 at December 31, 1995 as the Company maintained full
production in the Material Handling Segment United States operations and parts
availability returned to normal levels. As a result, the backlog of both
machines orders and parts orders was reduced during 1995.
Heavy Equipment Segment sales increased $23.5 for 1995 over 1994. Machines sales
increased 8%, and parts sales increased 7%. The sales mix was approximately 35%
parts for 1995 compared to 36% parts for 1994. Heavy Equipment Segment parts
sales were also adversely affected by the strike at the parts distribution
center, but to a lesser degree than the Material Handling Segment.
Heavy Equipment Segment bookings for 1995 were $271.3, an increase of $39.1, or
17%, from 1994. Heavy Equipment Segment backlog was $88.8 at December 31, 1995
compared to $67.8 at December 31, 1994.
Terex Cranes sales were $252.3 for 1995, an increase of $161.9 from $90.4 in
1994 due primarily to the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. Terex Cranes backlog was
$85.3 at December 31, 1995, reflecting the additional PPM backlog, compared to
$11.7 at December 31, 1994.
Gross Profit
Gross profit of $108.2 for 1995 was $25.0, or 30%, higher than gross profit of
$83.2 for 1994.
The Material Handling Segment's gross profit increased $2.4 to $37.6 for 1995
compared to $35.2 for 1994. The gross profit percentage in the Material Handling
Segment was 7% for both 1995 and 1994. Favorable efficiencies due to higher
production and sales volumes and the effects of 1994 severance actions were
offset by additional costs associated with the start-up of production of the new
Genesis product line and manufacturing inefficiencies related to vendors'
continuing inability to meet demand.
The Heavy Equipment Segment's gross profit increased $2.1 to $35.9 for 1995
compared to $33.8 for 1994. The gross profit percentage in the Heavy Equipment
Segment was 14% for 1995 and 15% for 1994.
Terex Cranes gross profit increased $21.0 to $35.2 for 1995, compared to $14.2
for 1994, primarily reflecting the addition of the May through December 1995
results of the PPM businesses. The gross profit percentage for Terex Cranes was
14% for 1995 and 16% for 1994. The gross profit percentage decrease was
primarily due to costs related to integrating the PPM Acquisition into Terex
Cranes.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $83.3 for 1995
from $72.4 for 1994. Material Handling Segment engineering, selling and
administrative expenses decreased to $31.1 for 1995 from $42.4 for 1994,
primarily as a result of severance actions taken by management during the second
half of 1994. Heavy Equipment Segment engineering, selling and administrative
expenses increased to $22.9 for 1995 from $22.0 for 1994 as a result of costs
associated with the start-up of a new parts service business. Terex Cranes
engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $28.0 for 1995
from $6.3 for 1994 reflecting the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. Corporate
administrative expenses in 1994 included a charge of $2.2 in connection with the
termination of a management contract with KCS Industries, L.P. ("KCS"), a
Connecticut limited partnership principally owned by certain present and former
officers of the Company, offset by allocations to operating segments. See Note M
- -- "Related Party Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.
Severance and Exit Costs
The Company announced personnel reductions totaling approximately 134 employees
in the Material Handling Segment's North American operations during the second
quarter of 1995 as a continuation of the Company's programs to increase
manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs and improve liquidity. The Company
recorded a combined charge of $3.5 in the second quarter of 1995 for severance
costs associated with these actions and additional costs associated with the
closing of certain administrative and warehouse facilities.
During the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a charge of $4.5
principally related to severance costs in the Material Handling Segment's North
American and European operations. In June 1994, the Company announced personnel
reductions in plant supervision, engineering, marketing and administration
totaling approximately 160 employees. The $4.5 charge represents severance costs
associated with these actions. The Company also reorganized certain marketing
activities and closed several of its regional sales offices in the United
States. In December 1994, the Company announced additional personnel reductions
totaling approximately 90 employees in conjunction with the closing of the
Material Handling Segment's Korean plant and certain branch sales offices in
France. An additional $2.9 charge was recorded for costs, principally severance
costs, associated with these actions.
Income (Loss) from Operations
The Material Handling Segment income from operations of $3.0 for 1995 represents
a $16.9 improvement over the $13.9 loss in 1994. As discussed above, increased
sales and reduced costs contributed to the improvement.
Heavy Equipment Segment income from operations improved by $1.9 to $13.0 for
1995 from $11.1 in 1994, primarily as a result of reduced costs, offset by costs
associated with the start up of a new parts service business.
Terex Cranes income from operations of $7.2 for 1995 decreased by $0.7 versus
1994, primarily due to losses of the PPM businesses acquired in May 1995. As a
result of cost reductions, improvements in inventory management and
consolidation of model offerings, Koehring was profitable in 1994 and 1995 after
several years of losses.
On a consolidated basis, the Company realized operating income of $21.4 for
1995, compared to $3.4 for 1994.
Other Income (Expense)
Net interest expense increased to $38.7 for 1995 from $29.9 in 1994 as a result
of incremental borrowings associated with the PPM Acquisition in May 1995. The
Company realized gains of $1.0 and $26.0 from sales of Fruehauf common stock
during 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company owns 250 thousand shares of
Fruehauf common stock which it received in settlement of certain obligations of
Fruehauf.
The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 in 1995 to recognize the impairment in
value of certain properties held for sale.
The Company also incurred net foreign exchange losses of $1.9, trademark-related
expenses of $1.3, and $0.6 of group retiree expenses during 1995.
The Company recorded a charge of $2.5 in 1995 for payments related to the
retirement of its former Chairman of the Board in August 1995, and future
payments related to the consulting obligations under the retirement agreement of
the former Chairman.
During 1995, the Company recorded no provision for income taxes. In 1994, the
Company recorded a provision for state income taxes of $0.5 in connection with
the sale of Drexel, in addition to the taxes on foreign royalties.
<PAGE>
Extraordinary Items
The Company recorded a charge of $7.5 in 1995 to recognize a loss on the early
extinguishment of debt in connection with the May 1995 refinancing. During 1994,
the Company recognized extraordinary losses totaling $0.7 to write-off
unamortized discount and debt issuance costs when it repurchased $27.3 of its
old senior secured debt.

Net Sales
Sales in 1994 increased $116.5, or approximately 17%, over 1993.
Material Handling Segment sales were $472.7 for 1994, an increase of $77.1, or
19%, from $395.6 for 1993. Machine sales increased $81.0 and parts sales
decreased $3.9. As a result, the sales mix was approximately 19% parts in 1994
compared to 24% parts in 1993. Machine sales improved due to increased industry
demand and increased output resulting from production improvements and the
easing of capital constraints. Cash constraints in the second half of 1993
resulted in production problems caused by a lack of supplies and materials
during the last half of 1993 and the opening months of 1994. Production improved
in 1994 because of reorganization of work flows and other actions taken by
manufacturing management and because a working capital infusion in December 1993
allowed management to improve relations and schedule payment terms with its key
suppliers. Parts sales were affected by the cash constraints previously
discussed and by difficulties in assimilating the Material Handling Segment's
parts business into the Terex Parts Distribution Center during the first half of
1994, leading to decreased parts availability. Parts sales improved during the
last half of 1994 as these difficulties were mitigated.
Material Handling Segment bookings for 1994 were $470.6, an increase of $5.6
from 1993. Machine order bookings for 1994 of $381.2 increased $17.3 or 5%
compared to $364.0 in 1993. Bookings for parts sales for 1994, from which the
Company generally realizes higher margins than machine sales, decreased $11.6,
or 12%, from 1993, primarily because of decreased parts availability as
discussed above. Material Handling Segment backlog was $135.9 at December 31,
1994 compared to $152.7 at December 31, 1993. This change reflects the
improvement in second through fourth quarter sales resulting from the upward
trend in production and improved parts availability levels. The Company
maintained full production in the Material Handling Segment United States
operations and parts availability returned to normal levels. As a result, the
backlog of both machines orders and parts orders was reduced during 1995.
Heavy Equipment Segment sales increased $23.0, or 11%, to $226.8 in 1994 from
$203.8 in 1993. Machine sales increased $21.6 and parts sales increased $1.4.
The sales mix was approximately 36% parts in 1994 compared to 39% parts in 1993.
Machine sales increased at all of the Heavy Equipment Segment divisions,
reflecting increased domestic construction industry demand and improved sales
volume outside the United States.
Heavy Equipment Segment bookings for 1994 were $232.2, an increase of $38.1, or
20%, from 1993. Bookings for parts sales of $77.6, from which the Company
generally realizes higher margins than machine sales, were comparable to
bookings for 1993. Machine bookings for 1994 increased $42.2, or 38%, from 1993,
reflecting the factors discussed above. Heavy Equipment Segment backlog was
$67.8 at December 31, 1994 compared to $62.3 at December 31, 1993, reflecting
the improved shipments in 1994. Parts backlog was $6.1 at December 31, 1994
compared to $8.6 at December 31, 1993. This decrease resulted from increased
parts availability during 1994. As a result of the working capital infusion in
December 1993, the inventory availability for parts sales increased during 1994
and the backlog of parts orders was reduced as working capital continues to be
applied to improve parts inventory availability.
Terex Cranes sales were $90.4 for 1994, an increase of $19.0 from $71.4 in 1993.
Machine sales increased 43% and parts sales increased 3%. The sales mix was
approximately 27% parts in 1994 compared to 33% parts in 1993.
Terex Cranes bookings were $83.6 for 1994, an increase of 9% from 1993. Machine
bookings increased 16%, and parts bookings increased by 1%.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for 1994 increased $34.7 compared to 1993.
The Material Handling Segment's gross profit increased $19.2 to $35.2 for 1994
compared to $16.0 for 1993. The gross profit percentage in the Material Handling
Segment increased to 7.4% for 1994 from 4.0% for 1993, reflecting cost reduction
initiatives and production improvements in the second through fourth quarters of
1994, somewhat offset by comparatively lower sales and decreased manufacturing
efficiency due to shortages in manufacturing supplies and materials during the
first quarter of the year and the decrease in sales of replacement parts.
The Heavy Equipment Segment's gross profit increased $3.3 to $33.8 for 1994
compared to $30.5 for 1993. Improved gross profit from machine sales accounted
for substantially all of the increase. The gross profit percentage in the Heavy
Equipment Segment remained at 15.0% for 1994 and 1993, reflecting the continuing
effects of cost reduction initiatives and improved manufacturing efficiency
offset by a decrease in the parts sale mix during 1994.
Terex Cranes gross profit increased $12.2 to $14.2 for 1994, compared to $2.0
for 1993. The gross profit percentage for Terex Cranes increased to 15.7% for
1994 from 2.8% in 1993 reflecting the continuing effects of cost reductions and
improved manufacturing efficiency.
Engineering, Selling and Administrative Expenses
Engineering, selling and administrative expenses decreased to $72.4 for 1994
from $77.7 for 1993 as a result of cost reduction initiatives throughout the
Company. Material Handling Segment engineering, selling and administrative
expenses totaled $42.4 for 1994 compared to $44.6 for 1993. Heavy Equipment
Segment engineering, selling and administrative expenses increased to $22.0 for
1994 from $19.5 for 1993. Terex Cranes engineering, selling and administrative
expenses decreased to $6.3 for 1994 compared to $10.1 for 1993. Corporate
administrative expense in 1994 includes a charge of $2.2 in connection with the
termination, as of January 1, 1994, of the Company's management contract with
KCS, offset by allocations to operating segments. See Note M -- "Related Party
Transactions" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.
Severance and Exit Costs and Goodwill Write-off
In June 1994, the Company announced personnel reductions in plant supervision,
engineering, marketing and administration totaling approximately 160 employees
at the Material Handling Segment's North American and European operations. A
charge of $4.5 was recorded related to these actions. The Company also
reorganized certain marketing activities and closed several of its regional
sales offices in the United States. In December 1994, the Company announced
additional personnel reductions totaling approximately 90 employees in
conjunction with the closing of the Material Handling Segment's Korean plant and
certain branch sales offices in France. An additional $2.9 charge was recorded
for costs, principally severance costs, associated with these actions. As a
result of changing Mark's product offerings and distribution, Terex Cranes
recognized a charge to income of $4.7 in the fourth quarter of 1993 to write-off
the remaining unamortized goodwill from the acquisition of Mark.
Income (Loss) from Operations
The Material Handling Segment incurred a loss from operations of $7.1 for 1994,
excluding the severance charge discussed above ($13.9 including the severance
charge), compared to a loss of $28.6 for 1993. As discussed above, the decreases
in sales and gross profit in the opening months of 1994 reflected the
difficulties in restoring full production due to supplier problems. Income from
operations was $3.5 in the fourth quarter of 1994, excluding the severance
charge ($1.1 including the severance charge), compared to a loss of $10.7 in the
fourth quarter of 1993.
Heavy Equipment Segment income from operations improved by $0.1 to $11.1 for
1994 compared to $11.0 for 1993. This improvement resulted from the increase in
gross profit offset by the increase in engineering, selling and administrative
expenses described above.
Terex Cranes income from operations of $7.9 for 1994 improved by $20.7 over 1993
due to increased sales and cost reductions outlined above. As a result of cost
reductions, improvements in inventory management and consolidation of model
offerings, Koehring was profitable in 1994 after several years of losses.
Additionally, as discussed above, Terex Cranes recognized a charge to income of
$4.7 to write-off the remaining unamortized goodwill from the Mark acquisition.
On a consolidated basis, the Company achieved operating income of $10.8,
excluding the severance charge discussed above, for 1994 ($3.4 income including
the severance charge) compared to an operating loss of $33.9 for 1993.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense on a consolidated basis was $30.5 for 1994 compared to $31.2
for 1993. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of
repayments of the then outstanding senior and subordinated debt partially offset
by increased borrowings under the Company's lending facilities.
The Company recognized equity in the net loss of Fruehauf of $0.7 in 1993. In
December 1993, the Company sold 1.0 million shares of Fruehauf common stock and
realized a gain of $3.0. During 1994 the Company sold a total of 5.9 million
shares of Fruehauf common stock and realized a gain of $26.0.
In 1994, the Company recorded a provision for state income taxes of $0.5 in
connection with the sale of its former subsidiary, Drexel. The balance of the
provision for income taxes generally represents taxes withheld on foreign
royalties and dividends. As such, any fluctuation in the provision for income
tax is due to fluctuations in these items.
Extraordinary Items
During 1994, the Company repurchased a total of $27.3 of its old senior secured
notes. The Company recognized extraordinary losses totaling $0.7 from these
transactions to write off unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.
In connection with terminating its previous bank lending agreement, the Company
recognized a charge of approximately $2.0 in the second quarter of 1993 to write
off unamortized debt issuance costs.
In December 1993, the Company repurchased $5.0 of its old senior secured notes
for approximately $4.5, including accrued interest. The Company recognized an
extraordinary gain on this transaction of approximately $0.5, net of write-off
of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's businesses are working capital intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories, capital expenditures
for repair, replacement and upgrading of existing facilities as well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service requirements including semi-annual interest payments on senior debt
and monthly interest payments on its credit facility. Debt reduction and an
improved capital structure are major focal points for the Company. In this
regard the Company regularly reviews its alternatives to improve its capital
structure and to reduce debt through debt refinancings, issuance of equity,
asset sales, the sales of business units or any combination thereof. Currently,
the Company has focused its attention on the sale of assets, including business
units, and has taken steps to explore the opportunities available to it in this
regard. It is the Company's intention that certain assets be sold during 1996,
provided that favorable terms and conditions can be attained.
Net cash of $21.9 was used in operating activities during 1995. Net cash used by
investing activities in 1995 was $98.9, principally due to the PPM Acquisition.
Net cash provided by financing activities during 1995 was $120.1, primarily from
the Refinancing discussed below. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.8 at
December 31, 1995.
Factors affecting future liquidity
The Company announced personnel reductions totaling approximately 134 employees
in the Material Handling Segment's North American operations during the second
quarter of 1995 as a continuation of the Company's programs to increase
manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs and improve liquidity. The Company
recorded a combined charge of $3.5 for costs associated with these actions and
additional costs associated with the closing of certain administrative and
warehouse facilities.
On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the Refinancing and the PPM Acquisition.
The Refinancing included the private placement to institutional investors of
$250 of the Senior Secured Notes, repayment of the Company's its old senior
secured notes and senior subordinated notes, totaling approximately $152.6
principal amount, and entry into a $100 revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") to replace the Company's existing lending facility in the U.S. Until
such time as the Company completes an exchange of the Senior Secured Notes for
an equivalent issue of registered notes, or a shelf registration statement for
the Senior Secured Notes is effective, the interest rate on the Senior Secured
Notes will be 13.75%. The Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes places certain
limits on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the
existence of liens; issue, pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; utilize
the proceeds of assets sales; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another
entity; and enter into transactions with affiliates. In connection with the May
1995 issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued 1.0 million stock
appreciation rights (the "1995 SARs") entitling the holders to receive cash or
Common Stock, at the option of the Company, in an amount equal to the average
closing sale price of the Common Stock for 60 trading days prior to the date of
exercise less $7.288 for each 1995 SAR.
Approximately $92.6 of the proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes was used for the
PPM Acquisition, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required
to be repaid in connection with the acquisition. In addition, the acquisition
costs totaled approximately $5.0. The remainder of the purchase price consisted
of the issuance to the seller of redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes
having an aggregate liquidation preference of 127 French francs (approximately
$26.1), subject to adjustment. The purchase price is subject to adjustment
calculated by reference to the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined
by an audit as of the date of closing. The preferred stock does not bear a
dividend and, accordingly, the Company has valued this stock at approximately
$8.8 (discounted at 15%). The Company has not yet reached agreement with the
seller about the amount of purchase price adjustment but, based on work
performed, the Company believes that the amount of the preferred stock could
ultimately be reduced.
The Company's Credit Facility provides the Company with the ability to borrow up
to $100 (in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 in outstanding letters of
credit). The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
domestic receivables and inventory (including PPM). The amount of borrowings is
limited to the sum of the following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible
receivables, as defined, of the Company's U.S. businesses other than CMHC, plus
(ii) 70% of the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus (iii) the lesser
of 45% of the value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised
orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less (iv) any availability
reserves established by the lenders. The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998
unless extended by the lenders for one additional year. At the option of the
Company, revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans initially
bearing interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and
Eurodollar rate loans initially bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum
in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate.
The Company made an interest payment of $17.7 on November 15, 1995 on the Senior
Secured Notes. The Company's debt service obligations for 1996 include
approximately $17.1 on May 15 and November 15, 1996 on the Senior Secured Notes
and approximately $0.6 monthly on the Credit Facility. Management believes that,
absent significant unanticipated declines in operating performance, cash
generated from operations and the Refinancing provide the Company with adequate
liquidity to meet the Company's operating and debt service requirements. The
balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 1995 was $66.8,
and the additional amount the Company could have borrowed was $8.8 as of that
date. TEL entered into a new bank working capital facility in 1995, and PPM
Europe is in negotiations to secure a working capital facility in 1996.
Management intends to seek additional working capital financing facilities for
the Company's international operations to provide additional liquidity
worldwide.
CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES
The IRS is currently examining the Company's federal tax returns for the years
1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received an examination report
from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based on this examination.
The examination report raises a variety of issues, including the Company's
substantiation for certain deductions taken during this period, the Company's
utilization of certain NOL's and the availability of such NOL's to offset future
taxable income. If the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount
of the tax assessment would be approximately $56 plus interest and penalties. If
the Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment, it
could have a material adverse impact on the Company and could exceed the
Company's resources. The Company has filed its administrative appeal to the
examination report. Although management believes that the Company will be able
to provide adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions
questioned by the IRS and that there is substantial support for the Company's
past and future utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this matter is
subject to the resolution of significant legal and factual issues. If the
Company's positions prevail on the most significant issues, management believes
that the amounts due would not exceed amounts previously paid or provided;
however, even under such circumstances, it is possible that the Company's NOL's
could be reduced to some extent. No additional accruals have been made for any
amounts which might be due as a result of this matter because the possible loss
ranges from zero to $56 plus interest and penalties and the ultimate outcome
cannot presently be determined or estimated.
In addition, Randolph W. Lenz retired as Chairman of the Board of the Company.
Although his retirement agreement places certain restrictions on his ability to
sell his shares of Common Stock in the Company, in the event that Mr. Lenz is
able to sell a substantial portion of his shares in the Company, such sale, in
combination with the issuance by Terex of certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants
on December 20, 1993 and subject to the effects of other changes in share
ownership of the Company, could result in a change in control for tax purposes.
Such a change in control for tax purposes could possibly result in a significant
reduction in the amount of NOL's available to the Company to offset future
taxable income.
The Commission in March of 1994 initiated a private investigation, which
included the Company and certain of its affiliates, to determine whether
violations of certain aspects of the Federal securities laws have taken place.
The Company is cooperating with the Commission in its investigation and it is
not possible at this time to determine the outcome of the Commission's
investigation.
The Company received a letter from the Department of Labor (the "DOL") in May of
1995, alleging that the Company's former Chairman of the Board, at the time a
fiduciary for the Company's retirement plans, violated certain provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), in making
certain investments which may have been imprudent and by possibly engaging in
prohibited transactions under ERISA. The Company and its former Chairman of the
Board are currently in discussions with the DOL concerning the allegations and
it is not possible at this time to determine the outcome of this matter;
however, the Company does not believe that the resolution of the allegations
will have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company is subject to a number of contingencies and uncertainties including
product liability claims, self-insurance obligations, tax examinations and
guarantees. Many of the exposures are unasserted or proceedings are at a
preliminary stage, and it is not presently possible to estimate the amount or
timing of any cost to the Company. However, management does not believe that
these contingencies and uncertainties will, in the aggregate, have a material
effect on the Company. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and
possible to make reasonable estimates of the Company's liability with respect to
such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or for the
minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the
amount within the range that is most likely to occur.
The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws
and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a
continuing basis.
BUSINESS
General
Terex is a global provider of capital goods and equipment used in the
manufacturing, distribution, mining, construction and infrastructure industries.
The Company's operations began in 1983 with the purchase of Northwest
Engineering Company, the Company's original business and name. Since 1983,
management has expanded the Company's business through a series of acquisitions.
In 1988, Northwest Engineering Company merged into a subsidiary acquired in 1986
named Terex Corporation, with Terex Corporation as the surviving corporation.
For 1995, consolidated revenues of the Company amounted to approximately
$1,030.2. Prior to May 1995, the Company's operations were divided into two
principal segments: Material Handling and Heavy Equipment. On May 9, 1995, the
Company completed the PPM Acquisition. Together with Koehring, these businesses
form Terex Cranes, Inc., the Company's Mobile Cranes Segment.
The Material Handling Segment designs, manufactures and markets a complete line
of IC and electric lift trucks, electric walkies, automated pallet trucks and
related components and replacement parts under the Clark trademark. These
products are used in material handling applications in a broad array of
manufacturing, distribution and transportation industries. The Material Handling
Segment consists of Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC") and certain
affiliated companies (together with CMHC, "CMH") which were acquired by the
Company in July 1992 from Clark Equipment Company (the "CMH Acquisition").
The Heavy Equipment Segment designs, manufactures and markets heavy-duty,
off-highway earthmoving and construction equipment and related components and
replacement parts. These products are used primarily by construction, mining,
logging, industrial and government customers in building roads, dams and
commercial and residential buildings and in supplying coal, minerals, sand and
gravel. The Heavy Equipment Segment consists of two operating businesses: (i)
the Terex Business (defined below), which manufactures off-highway rigid and
articulated haulers, scrapers and wheel loaders and (ii) the Unit Rig Division,
which manufactures electric rear and bottom dump haulers, as well as mechanical
drive haulers and wheel loaders principally sold to the mining industry.
On May 9, 1995, the Company, through Terex Cranes, completed the acquisition
(the "PPM Acquisition") of substantially all of the shares of P.P.M. S.A., a
societe anonyme, and certain subsidiaries ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., a
societe anonyme, and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("PPM North America;" and PPM North America together with
PPM Europe collectively referred to as "PPM") from Legris Industries S.A., a
societe anonyme ("Legris France"). PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile
cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe
under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and
BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company
contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes and
Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The former division now
operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes
("Koehring"). Koehring manufactures mobile cranes under the LORAIN brand name
and aerial lift equipment under the MARKLIFT brand name.
For financial information about the Company's industry and geographic segments,
see Note N -- "Business Segment Information" in the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
The Company's strategy is to increase shareholder value through sustained and
growing earnings.
Material Handling Segment
CMH is a leading North American and European designer, manufacturer and marketer
of a complete line of IC and electric lift trucks, electric walkies, automated
pallet trucks and related replacement parts under the CLARK trademark. CMH's
products are distributed through an established global dealer network which
includes more than 440 locations. Management believes CMH has the largest
installed fleet in North America, with over 250,000 units, and that over 320,000
CLARK trucks are presently in operation worldwide. Historically, approximately
80% of CMH's revenues have been derived from new product sales and approximately
20% of revenues have been derived from the sale of replacement parts. CMH and
its independent dealers sell to a diversified base of customers in a variety of
industries. CMH's headquarters and U.S. manufacturing facilities are located in
Lexington, Kentucky. CMH's international manufacturing facilities are located in
Mulheim-Ruhr, Germany. CMH also owns a training and research center in
Lexington, Kentucky.
The Company acquired CMH in July 1992. Following the acquisition, CMH began
implementing initiatives intended to reduce its manufacturing and operating
costs. These initiatives have included consolidation of engineering,
manufacturing and parts facilities. In December 1993, CMH transferred its parts
supply operations to the Company's parts distribution center in Southaven,
Mississippi. During 1994, CMH completed the transfer of its light IC lift truck
chassis production from Korea to Lexington, Kentucky, closed its manufacturing
facility in Danville, Kentucky and closed its axle manufacturing facility in
Korea. In April 1994, the Company sold 100% of the stock of Drexel Industries,
Inc. ("Drexel"), which is located in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Drexel manufactures
very narrow-aisle lift trucks.
CMH currently offers 116 basic truck designs within five major product lines:
light IC trucks (1.0 to 5.0 tons), heavy IC trucks (5.5 to 47.5 tons),
narrow-aisle trucks, electric counterbalanced trucks (1.3 to 6.0 tons) and
electric walkies.
Light IC trucks are used for general warehousing needs and are generally powered
by liquid propane and well suited for manufacturing and distribution
applications which require a high degree of maneuverability. Heavy IC trucks are
specialty products designed for use in more demanding situations such as heavy
manufacturing or container handling applications. Narrow-aisle trucks provide
solutions for high density storage needs and operate in six-to-eight foot aisles
and reach heights of more than 30 feet. Electric counterbalanced trucks are
designed for indoor use in warehousing, manufacturing, distribution and other
applications and are powered by a rechargeable electric battery. For
environmental reasons, electric trucks are becoming more popular. Electric
walkies are generally used in transporting and order-selecting.
CMH is a leading manufacturer of lift trucks in North America, although the
brand names of Hyster and Yale combined, both owned by Nacco Industries, Inc.,
account for production of more lift trucks annually. Other major North American
competitors include Toyota, Mitsubishi and Komatsu in both IC and electric
riders, and Crown and Raymond in electric riders alone. In Europe, CMH competes
with the Linde Group, the European market leader, as well as Hyster-Yale, Toyota
and Jungheinreich. CMH also competes with a number of specialty firms.
Heavy Equipment Segment
The Company is recognized as a significant competitor in the market for large
capacity haulers and scrapers. However, the Company is not a dominant
manufacturer in the heavy equipment industry, which is dominated in most
segments by large, diversified firms, such as Caterpillar, Dresser Industries
and Komatsu, that have broader product lines and greater financial resources.
The Company also competes in this industry with a number of specialty firms,
whose products generally compete directly with one or more of the Company's
product lines.
<PAGE>
Terex Business
The Company acquired the Terex Corporation, whose operations were subsequently
carried out as the Terex Division, in December 1986 and acquired Terex Equipment
Limited ("TEL"), a subsidiary of the Company located in Scotland, in June 1987.
The Terex Division and TEL are jointly hereinafter referred to as the "Terex
Business," which is headquartered in Motherwell, Scotland. Terex Division's
marketing efforts in the United States serve the needs of North, Central and
South America, while TEL serves the remainder of the international market. TEL
manufactures the products of the Terex Business at its facility in Motherwell,
Scotland.
The Terex Business has two principal product lines: off-highway rigid and
articulated haulers and scrapers sold under the TEREX trademark and as original
equipment manufacturers to be sold under other brand names. A "hauler" is an
off-road dump truck with a capacity in excess of 25 tons. Haulers produced by
the Terex Business have capacities ranging from 25 to 85 tons. A "scraper" is an
off-road vehicle, commonly referred to as an "earth mover," that loads, moves
and unloads large quantities of soil for site preparations, including roadbeds.
The Terex Business product line also includes wheel loaders although these are
not presently being manufactured. A "wheel loader" is a vehicle that loads
materials onto trucks, conveyors and similar equipment. The Terex Business
products perform a wide range of earthmoving functions in quarry and open pit
mining and in many types of heavy construction, including highway, dam and
waterway construction; commercial and industrial site preparation; general land
improvement and real estate development; and structural renovation and
replacement. The Terex Business's main competitors are Caterpillar, VME Group,
Komatsu and Dresser.
In 1987, TEL entered into a joint venture agreement with Second Inner Mongolia
Machinery Company for the production of haulers in China. The joint venture
company, North Hauler Limited Liability Company, manufactures heavy trucks,
principally used in mining, at a facility in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, People's
Republic of China.
Unit Rig
In July 1988, the Company purchased certain domestic and foreign assets and
operations of the business that now operates as the Unit Rig Division ("Unit
Rig"). Unit Rig is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Unit Rig's predecessor pioneered the development of the diesel electric drive,
rear dump hauling truck for use in open pit mining operations. The truck is
powered by a diesel engine driving an electric generator that provides power to
individual electric motors in each of the rear wheels. Unit Rig's current LECTRA
HAUL product line consists of a series of rear dump hauler trucks with payload
capacities ranging from 100 to 260 tons, and bottom dump haulers with capacities
ranging from 180 to 270 tons.
Unit Rig also produces the Dart line of wheel loaders and mechanical drive
haulers. This product line consists of the Dart 600C mechanical drive wheel
loader with a bucket capacity up to 23 cubic yards and rear dump trucks ranging
in capacity from 85 to 130 tons. The Dart line also includes a tractor-trailer
bottom dump hauler with capacities from 120 to 160 tons.
The present principal markets for Unit Rig products are copper, gold, coal and
iron mines. Unit Rig's major customers are mining companies in North and South
America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Approximately 70% of Unit Rig's sales are
export sales. Unit Rig's largest competitors are Caterpillar and
Komatsu/Dresser.
Terex Cranes, Inc.
Koehring
In January 1987, the Company purchased certain assets and operations of the
business that operated prior to the PPM Acquisition as the Koehring Cranes &
Excavators Division, which assets and operations were contributed to Koehring in
connection with the PPM Acquisition. Koehring, headquartered in Waverly, Iowa,
designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of hydraulic telescoping cranes
sold under the well recognized trade names of KOEHRING and LORAIN. Hydraulic
telescoping cranes are primarily used for construction and industrial
applications. Koehring has three principal competitors in the mobile crane
market: Grove Manufacturing, Liebherr Werk Ehingen and Link-Belt.
In December 1991, the Company acquired substantially all operating assets of the
business that operates as the Marklift Division ("Mark"). Mark relocated to the
Koehring facilities in Waverly, Iowa during 1992 in order to more effectively
utilize existing capabilities and manufacturing facilities at the Waverly
location. Mark is engaged in the manufacture and sale of aerial lift equipment,
including scissor lifts, boom lifts and a full line of replacement parts.
Scissor lifts and boom lifts are used for the repair, maintenance and
construction of buildings, manufacturing facilities and equipment. These lifts
are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, such as installing and
repairing electrical and plumbing fixtures; installing drywall and ceilings;
cleaning, repairing and painting production equipment; maintaining refineries,
chemical plants and aircraft; and performing common construction tasks such as
siding, insulation and structural member installation. Mark's largest competitor
in the aerial lift industry is JLG Industries.
The Company currently manages the Northwest Engineering and BCP Construction
Products ("BCP," acquired in 1985) businesses from Koehring's location in
Waverly, Iowa. The sale of replacement parts for Northwest Engineering and BCP
products, including the Dynahoe backhoe/loader, constitutes the most important
part of these businesses.
PPM Europe
On May 9, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the capital stock of
PPM Europe. PPM Europe was formed in 1966 by Potain, S.A., and is a leading
European designer, manufacturer and marketer of mobile cranes and container
stackers. PPM Europe consists of several subsidiaries throughout Europe,
including: PPM S.A. in France, Bendini SpA, an Italian rough terrain crane
producer, Brimont Agraire S.A., a specialized trailer manufacturer in France,
PPM Krane GmbH, a sales organization in Germany, and Baulift Baumaschinen Und
Krane Handels GmbH, a parts distributor in Germany. PPM Europe operates two
manufacturing facilities, its PPM manufacturing facility at Montceau les Mines
in central France and its Bendini manufacturing facility in northern Italy. PPM
Europe markets its products primarily in Europe, Africa and the Middle East
under the PPM and BENDINI brand names. PPM Europe's major competitors in mobile
cranes are Krupp Mobilkran, Grove Cranes Ltd. and Liebherr Werk Ehingen. PPM
Europe's major competitors in the container stacker market are Kalmar, Valmet
Belloti and Taylor.
PPM North America
On May 9, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the capital stock of
PPM North America. PPM North America, headquartered in Conway, South Carolina,
designs, manufactures and markets rough terrain cranes, truck cranes and
container stackers under the P&H brand name which is licensed from Harnischfeger
Corporation. PPM North America also markets mobile cranes and container stackers
in the Far East through its Singapore subsidiary and in Australia through its
Australian subsidiary. PPM North America has three main competitors in the
mobile crane market: Grove Manufacturing, Liebherr Werk Ehingen and Link-Belt.
Environmental Considerations
The Company generates hazardous and nonhazardous wastes in the normal course of
its operations. As a result, the Company is subject to a wide range of federal,
state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse environmental effects,
such as discharges to air and water, as well as handling and disposal practices
for hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, and (ii) impose liability for the costs
of cleaning up, and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous substances. Compliance with such laws
and regulations has, and will, require expenditures by the Company on a
continuing basis.
Research and Development
The Company maintains engineering staffs at several of its locations which
design new products and improvements in existing product lines. Such costs
incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to
existing products amounted to $11.2 million, $10.5 million and $11.8 million in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Materials
Principal materials used by the Company in its various manufacturing processes
include steel, castings, engines, tires, electric controls and motors, and a
variety of other fabricated or manufactured items. In the absence of labor
strikes or other unusual circumstances, substantially all materials are normally
available from multiple suppliers. Current and potential suppliers are evaluated
on a regular basis on their ability to meet the Company's requirements and
standards. During the first half of 1994, certain of CMH's suppliers experienced
difficulties in meeting CMH's production schedules. Such difficulties, while not
eliminated, were substantially alleviated in the second half of 1994. Electric
wheel motors and controls used in the Unit Rig product line are currently
supplied exclusively by General Electric Company.
Seasonal Factors
The Company markets a large portion of its products in North America and Europe,
and its sales of heavy equipment and cranes during the fourth quarter of each
year (i.e., October through December) to the construction industry are usually
lower than sales of such equipment during each of the first three quarters of
the year because of the normal winter slowdown of construction activity.
However, sales of heavy equipment to the mining industry, as well as sales of
lift trucks, are generally less affected by such seasonal factors.
Distribution
CMH markets original equipment and repair parts through a worldwide dealer
network. CMH currently has 94 independent North American dealers who operate
approximately 233 outlets, with all such dealer outlets providing both sales and
service. CMH's European distribution network consists of approximately 93
independent dealers and three company-owned dealers operating in 29 countries.
CMH dealers generally market the full CMH product line and maintain
comprehensive service capabilities. CMH operates a dealer service organization
designed to coordinate sales and promotional activities, provide ongoing dealer
training and facilitate dealer communications.
CMH products are sold through a system which enables customers to specify a
truck which meets their particular materials handling needs. Customers can add
attachments such as container handlers, side shifters, roll clamps, block
handlers, carton clamps, push-pulls (slip-sheet) and fork positioners. CMH and
its dealers sell to a diversified customer base with no single customer
accounting for more than 4% of CMH's revenues.
The Terex Business markets original equipment and repair parts through worldwide
dealership networks. Unit Rig distributes its products and services directly to
customers primarily through its own distribution system. The Company's heavy
equipment dealers are independent businesses which generally serve the
construction, mining, timber and/or scrap industries. Although these dealers
carry products of a variety of manufacturers, and may or may not carry more than
one of the Company's products, each dealer generally carries only one
manufacturer's "brand" of each particular type of product. The Company employs
sales representatives who service these dealers from offices located throughout
the world.
Terex Cranes distributes its products through a global network of over 300
independent dealers organized by product line. With respect to mobile cranes, in
North America both Koehring and PPM North America maintain extensive dealer
networks. The geographic strength of Koehring, which markets its mobile cranes
under the LORAIN brand name, centers in the midwest and mid-Atlantic regions of
the U.S. and the geographic strength of PPM North America, which markets its
mobile cranes under the P&H brand, centers in the southern and western regions.
PPM Europe's distribution is carried out under two brand names, PPM and BENDINI,
through a single distribution network comprised of both distributors and a
direct sales force.
Backlog
The Company's backlog as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was as follows:
December 31,
1995 1994
(in millions of dollars)
Material Handling ......... $ 78.9 $ 135.9
Heavy Equipment ........... 88.8 67.8
Terex Cranes .............. 85.3 11.7
Total ................ $ 253.0 $ 215.4
Substantially all of the Company's backlog orders are expected to be filled
within one year, although there can be no assurance that all such backlog orders
will be filled within that time period. The Company's backlog orders represent
primarily new equipment orders. Parts orders are generally filled on an
as-ordered basis. Backlog in Terex Cranes increased in 1995 primarily due to the
effect of the PPM Acquisition.
Backlog at the Material Handling Segment fell from $135.9 million at December
31, 1994 to $78.9 million at December 31, 1995 as the Company maintained full
production in the Material Handling Segment United States operations and parts
availability returned to normal levels. As a result, the backlog of both
machines orders and parts orders was reduced during 1995.
Patents, Licenses and Trademarks
Several of the trademarks and trade names of the Company, in particular the
TEREX, CLARK, KOEHRING, LORAIN, UNIT RIG, MARKLIFT, DYNAHOE, POWERWORKER, P&H
(licensed by PPM North America from Harnischfeger Corporation), PPM,
HYPERSTACKER, SUPERSTACKER, BENDINI and GENESIS trademarks, are important to the
business of the Company. The Company owns and maintains trademark registrations
and patents in countries where it conducts business, and monitors the status of
its trademark registrations and patents to maintain them in force and renews
them as required. The Company also takes steps, including legal action, to
protect its trademark, trade name and patent rights when circumstances warrant
such action.
Employees
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 3,600 employees. The
Company considers its relations with its personnel to be good. Approximately 33%
of the Company's employees are represented by labor unions which have entered
into various separate collective bargaining agreements with the Company. The
Company experienced a labor strike at its parts distribution center in
Southaven, Mississippi during the second quarter of 1995 which is ongoing, and a
strike at its Koehring facility in Waverly, Iowa in December 1995, which has
been settled. The strike at Southaven has had no appreciable effect on the
conduct of business or financial results of that operation.

Option Grants in 1995
In May 1986, the stockholders approved an incentive stock option plan covering
key management employees (the "1988 Incentive Plan"). As further amended by
action of the stockholders and the Board, 108,228 shares of Common Stock are
currently available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options granted or
to be granted under the 1988 Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment in the event
of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of certain corporate events
such as stock splits and mergers. The exercise price of the options equals or
exceeds the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the grant.
Options granted under the 1988 Incentive Plan vest ratably over three years from
the date of grant. During 1995, options for 28,000 shares were granted to Named
Executive Officers under the 1988 Incentive Plan.
The Board of Directors adopted the 1994 Plan on June 23, 1994, subject to
stockholder approval which was obtained on June 23, 1995. The 1994 Plan provides
for the grant of stock options (both incentive stock options and nonqualified
stock options), shares of stock (including restricted stock) and performance
awards. Subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in the outstanding
Common Stock, 750,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
under the 1994 Plan. The exercise price of stock options generally will be no
less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant unless
otherwise determined by a committee of two or more outside directors (the "Plan
Committee"). The options will vest as determined by the Plan Committee (but no
less than one year from the date of grant), provided that the options will vest
immediately in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 1994 Plan).
During 1995, options for 65,000 shares were granted to Named Executive Officers
under the 1994 Plan.
In December 1995, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder
approval, the 1996 Plan. The 1996 Plan authorizes the granting of (i) options
("Stock Option Awards") to purchase shares of Common Stock, including Restricted
Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock ("Stock Awards"),
and (iii) cash bonus awards based upon a participant's job performance
("Performance Awards"). Subject to adjustment as described below under
"Adjustments," the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including
Restricted Stock, if any) optioned or granted under the 1996 Plan shall not
exceed 300,000 shares. The 1996 Plan provides that a committee (the "Committee")
of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more members thereof who are
non-employee directors, shall administer the 1996 Plan and has provided the
Committee with the flexibility to respond to changes in the competitive and
legal environments, thereby protecting and enhancing the Company's current and
future ability to attract and retain directors and officers and other key
employees and consultants. The 1996 Plan also provides for automatic grants of
Stock Option Awards to non-employee directors.

</TABLE>
Pension Plans
The Company maintains four defined benefit pension plans covering certain
domestic employees, including, as described below, certain officers of the
Company. Retirement benefits for the plans covering the salaried employees are
based primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation
during the final years of employment.
Mr. DeFeo participates in the Terex Corporation Salaried Employees'
Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"). Messrs. Brandifino, Langevin and
Rosenberg do not participate because participation in the Retirement Plan was
frozen as of May 7, 1993, prior to their employment with the Company.
Participants of the Retirement Plan with five or more years of eligible service
are fully vested and entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at age 65.
Retirement benefits under the Retirement Plan are equal to the product of (i)
the participant's years of service (as defined in the Retirement Plan) and (ii)
1.02% of final average earnings (as defined in the Retirement Plan) plus 0.71%
of such compensation in excess of amounts shown on the applicable Social
Security Integration Table for participants born prior to 1938. For participants
born during 1938-1954, the formula is modified by replacing the 1.02% and 0.71%
figures with 1.08% and 0.65%, respectively. For participants born after 1954,
the formula is modified by replacing the 1.02% and 0.71% figures with 1.13% and
0.60%, respectively. Service in excess of 25 years is not recognized. There is
no offset for primary Social Security.
Participation in the Retirement Plan was frozen as of May 7, 1993, and no
participants, including Mr. DeFeo, will be credited with service following such
date. However, participants not currently fully vested, including Mr. DeFeo,
will be credited with service for purposes of determining vesting only. The
annual retirement benefits payable at normal retirement age under the Retirement
Plan will be $4,503 for Mr. DeFeo (assuming full vesting).
Compensation of Directors
The directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional
compensation by virtue of their being directors of the Company. Non-employee
directors receive an annual fee of $24,000. All directors of the Company are
reimbursed for travel, lodging and related expenses incurred in attending Board
and committee meetings.
In addition, subject to stockholder approval of the 1996 Plan, outside directors
shall, in lieu of compensation payable under the 1994 Plan:
(i) be awarded on the date of appointment as an outside director, an option
to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock;
(ii) provided such outside directors are serving as of the date of
stockholder approval of the 1996 Plan, be awarded an option to purchase the
number of shares of Common Stock necessary to bring the total number of shares
of Common Stock for which the director has or had an option, granted by the
Company during his tenure as a director, to 25,000 shares, at a price of $4.25
per share;
(iii) in consideration of services to the Board during 1995 and each year
thereafter, as applicable, be awarded annually an option to purchase 7,500
shares of Common Stock five business days after the date on which the Company
files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission, at the closing price
of a share of Common Stock on the NYSE on such date, except that the exercise
price of options granted in consideration of services rendered during 1995 shall
be $4.25 per share;
(iv) in consideration of services to the Board during 1995 and each year
thereafter, as applicable, (a) if such outside directors are serving as a
chairperson of a committee to the Board of Directors five business days after
the date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the
Commission, be awarded an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock at
$4.25 per share for the options granted in consideration of services rendered
during 1995 and at the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the NYSE on
the date of all other annual awards, or (b) if such outside directors are
serving as a member of a committee (and not as a chairperson of such committee)
of the Board of Directors five business days after the date on which the Company
files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission, be awarded an option
to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock at $4.25 per share for the options
granted in consideration of services rendered during 1995 and at the closing
price of Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of all other annual awards;
provided, however, that an individual outside director shall not be awarded an
option to purchase more than 7,500 shares of Common Stock per year for service
as a committee chairperson and/or member, regardless of the number of positions
held.
The outside director options described above shall have a term of five years and
the exercise price of the options shall be equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date preceding the day the grant is authorized, unless
otherwise provided. The options shall vest immediately. On December 13, 1995,
pursuant to such provisions of the 1996 Plan, (i) G. Chris Andersen was
conditionally granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii)
William H. Fike was conditionally granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares of
Common Stock; (iii) Bruce I. Raben was conditionally granted an option to
purchase 30,000 shares of Common Stock; (iv) David A. Sachs was conditionally
granted an option to purchase 27,500 shares of Common Stock; and (v) Adam E.
Wolf was conditionally granted an option to purchase 17,500 shares of Common
Stock, in each case at an option price of $4.25 per share. In addition, on
December 13, 1995, pursuant to the provisions of the 1996 Plan; (i) G. Chris
Andersen was conditionally granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common
Stock; (ii) William H. Fike was conditionally granted an option to purchase
12,500 shares of Common Stock; (iii) each of Bruce I. Raben and David A. Sachs
was conditionally granted an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock;
and (iv) Adam E. Wolf was conditionally granted an option to purchase 10,000
shares of Common Stock, in each case at an option price of $6.75 per share. At
the time of the Board of Directors' approval of the 1996 Plan and the initial
awards to outside directors, the Board of Directors noted the increased workload
of the outside directors during 1995 as a result of negotiations relating to Mr.
Lenz's retirement as well as the lack of a permanent Chairman since the date of
Mr. Lenz's retirement. See "Retirement of Randolph W. Lenz" below. In the event
that the stockholders do not ratify the Board of Directors' approval of the 1996
Plan, the outside directors shall receive compensation under the 1994 Plan.
Retirement of Randolph W. Lenz
On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman, Randolph W. Lenz,
had retired from his position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In
connection with his retirement, the Company (acting upon the recommendation of a
committee comprised of its independent Directors and represented by independent
counsel) and Mr. Lenz have entered into a retirement agreement providing certain
benefits to Mr. Lenz and the Company. The agreement provides, among other
things, for a five-year consulting engagement requiring Mr. Lenz to make himself
available to the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of
his time. Mr Lenz, or his designee, will receive a fee for consulting services
which will include payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995 base
salary until December 31, 1996. The agreement also provides for the granting of
a five-year $1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum which is
subject to being forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the agreement
upon certain conditions and equity grants having a maximum potential of 200,000
shares of Common Stock conditioned upon the Company achieving certain financial
performance objectives in the future. In contemplation of the execution of this
retirement agreement, the Company advanced to Mr. Lenz the principal amount of
the forgivable loan. Mr. Lenz has also agreed not to compete with the Company,
to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the Company's Board of
Directors, not to acquire any additional shares of Common Stock, and, except
under certain circumstances, not to sell his shares of Common Stock.
The foregoing description is a summary of the terms of the retirement agreement
and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Agreement dated as of November 2, 1995 between the Company and
Randolph W. Lenz, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment
and Change-in-Control Arrangements
The Company has agreed with Ronald M. DeFeo that in the event of a change in
ownership of the Company which prevents him from continuing in his position as
President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company will provide for a
continuance of his income for a period of 24 months.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee of the Board recommending compensation for executive
officers, including the Named Executive Officers, during the Company's 1995
fiscal year consisted of G. Chris Andersen, William H. Fike and David A. Sachs.
There are no compensation Committee interlocks or insider participation with
respect to such individuals.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of Common Stock by each person known by the Company to own
beneficially more than 5% of Common Stock, by each director, by each executive
officer of the Company named in "Management -- Executive Compensation," and by
all directors and executive officers as a group, as of March 31, 1996. Each
person named in the following table has sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such
person, except as otherwise set forth in the notes to the table. Shares of
Common Stock that any person has a right to acquire within 60 days after March
31, 1996 pursuant to an exercise of options, warrants or other rights or
conversion of preferred stock or otherwise are deemed to be outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person, but are not deemed
to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person

3,048,062; which number is subject to increase upon the occurrence of certain
events relating to the Company's obligation to effect the registration of the

all or some part of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares which they hold
from time to time pursuant to the offering contemplated by this Prospectus, and

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
On August 28, 1995, Randolph W. Lenz retired as Chairman of the Board and a
Director of the Company. Mr. Lenz remains the Company's principal stockholder.
As of March 31, 1996 he beneficially owned, directly and indirectly,
approximately 42% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In connection
with his retirement, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Lenz which
provides certain benefits to Mr. Lenz and the Company. See "Management --
Retirement of Randolph W. Lenz." In addition to indebtedness pursuant to the
retirement agreement, an affiliate of Mr. Lenz is indebted to the Company in the
approximate amount of $33,450 representing shipping charges incurred by such
affiliate to the Company during 1994. The affiliate of Mr. Lenz has not paid
such charges to date.
The Company, certain directors and executives of the Company, and KCS are named
parties in various legal proceedings. During 1995, the Company incurred $0.3
million of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the Company, directors and
executives of the Company, and KCS named in the lawsuits.
In 1995, the Company retained Jefferies, of which a director of the Company was
then an officer, in connection with the offering of the Company's Senior Secured
Notes and the Acquisition of PPM which was completed in May 1995. Jefferies was
paid $9.338 million as an underwriting discount and for services rendered.
Jefferies has previously rendered financial advisory and other services to the
Company. JEFCO, one of the Selling Security Holders, is an affiliate of
Jefferies. In addition, certain of the Selling Security Holders are officers
and/or employees of Jefferies.
The Company intends that all transactions with affiliates be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained in comparable transactions with
an unrelated person. The Board will be advised in advance of any such proposed
transaction or agreement and will utilize such procedures in evaluating their
terms and provisions as are appropriate in light of the Board's fiduciary duties
under Delaware law. In addition, the Company has an Audit Committee consisting
solely of outside directors. One of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee
is to review related party transactions.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 40 million shares of capital
stock, $.01 par value, consisting of 30 million shares of Common Stock and 10
million shares of preferred stock. As of March 31, 1996, 10.6 million shares of
Common Stock and 1.2 million shares of preferred stock were issued and
outstanding.
Common Stock
Each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote, either
in person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders,
including the election of directors. There is no cumulative voting in the
election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock can elect all of the directors then standing
for election. Subject to preferences which may be applicable to any outstanding
shares of preferred stock, holders of Common Stock have equal ratable rights to
such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available thereof. See "Market for Common Stock and
Dividend Policy."
Holders of Common Stock have no conversion, redemption or preemptive rights to
subscribe to any securities of the Company. All outstanding shares of Common
Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, holders of Common Stock
will be entitled to share ratably in the assets of the Company remaining after
provision for payment of liabilities to creditors and preferences applicable to
outstanding shares of preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of
holders of Common Stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any
outstanding shares of preferred stock. See "-- Preferred Stock."
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors of the Company shall
not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duties as a director except to the extent otherwise
required by Delaware law. The by-laws of the Company provide for indemnification
of the officers and directors of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law.
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is Chemical Mellon
Shareholder Services L.L.C., 111 Founders Plaza, Suite 1100, East Hartford,
Connecticut 06108.

Warrants
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has outstanding 1,264,756 of
Series A Warrants and 15,700 of Series B Warrants. The Series A Warrants and the
Series B Warrants are collectively referred to as the "Warrants". The following
is a summary of the terms and provisions of the Warrants. This summary does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
detailed provisions of the Warrants, which are included as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
Term. As of the date of this Prospectus, each Series A Warrant may be exercised
by the registered holder thereof for 2.41 shares of Common Stock; which number
of shares is subject to increase upon the occurrence of certain events relating
to the Company's obligation to effect the registration of the Series A Warrants
and the Warrant Shares. Each Series B Warrant may be exercised by the registered
holder thereof for one share of Common Stock. The Series A Warrants may be
exercised at any time in whole and from time to time in part, at the option of
the holder, until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 31, 2000.
A Warrant may be exercised upon (i) surrender of the Warrant certificate at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent, with the form of election to purchase on
the reverse thereof duly completed and signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise
Price with respect to the Warrant Shares being purchased, payable by certified
or bank check to the order of the Company.
Exercise Price. The Warrants are exercisable for $.01 per Warrant Share in the
case of Common Stock and in the case of all other securities issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants, for the lowest exercise price permitted by law.
Redemption. The Series A Warrants may be redeemed by the Company in whole, but
not in part, in exchange for Warrant Shares at any time; provided, that
concurrently with such redemption the Company redeems all then outstanding
shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each Series A Warrant will be redeemable for
a number of Warrant Shares equal to the Warrant Ratio on the date of redemption.
The Series B Warrants are not redeemable.
Notice of redemption of the Series A Warrants shall be sent by or on behalf of
the Company to the holders not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption (i) notifying the holders of the election of the
Company to redeem the Series A Warrants and of the date of redemption, (ii)
stating the place or places at which the Series A Warrants shall, upon
presentation and surrender of certificates evidencing the Series A Warrants, be
redeemed, and the number of Warrant Shares deliverable upon the redemption
thereof, and (iii) stating the name and address of the Warrant Agent and the
redemption agent.
Adjustments. The Warrants contain certain provisions that protect the holders
thereof against dilution in the event of (i) dividends or other distributions of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivisions and combinations of outstanding shares of Common
Stock, (iii) dividends or other distributions of rights or warrants entitling
the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase, during a period not exceeding
45 days from the date of such dividend or other distribution, shares of Common
Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of
Common Stock, or (iv) issuances by the Company of any Common Stock (or
securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) for a consideration
per share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the date of
such issuance, subject to certain exceptions. "Current Market Price" per share
of the Common Stock on any day means the average of the daily closing prices
with respect to the Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on
such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the trading day immediately
preceding such date); provided, that if the Common Stock is not publicly traded,
the Current Market Price per share shall be determined by a nationally
recognized investment banking firm selected by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
In addition, if the Company shall declare a dividend or other distribution on
its Common Stock that would not cause such an adjustment consisting of (i)
securities other than Common Stock, (ii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iii)
assets (including cash dividends or distributions) (collectively, "Assets"),
then in each such case adequate provision shall be made so that each holder of
Warrants shall receive, without charge, concurrently with the making of such
dividend or distribution, the amount and kind of such Assets that such holder
would have received if such holder had, immediately prior to the relevant record
date, exercised its Warrants.
On or prior to each day on which an adjustment is to be made, the Company shall
promptly direct the Warrant Agent, and the Warrant Agent shall send to each
holder, notice of such adjustment and shall deliver to the Warrant Agent a
certificate of a firm of independent public accountants selected by the Board of
Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) setting
forth the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and with
respect to the Series A Warrants, the Warrant Ratio after such adjustment, a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, and the computation by
which such adjustment was made.
Transfer. The Warrants shall be transferable only on the Warrant register
maintained by the Warrant Agent, upon delivery thereof, accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably acceptable to the
Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by
the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized
attorney. Upon any registration of transfer, the Warrant Agent shall (a)
countersign and deliver a new Warrant certificate evidencing the Warrant or
Warrants to the persons entitled thereto and (b) cancel the surrendered Warrant
certificate.
Reorganizations. In case of (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company with
or into another corporation, (b) the occurrence of any other transaction or
event pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Common Stock is
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the right
to receive, cash securities, property or other assets (whether by exchange
offer, liquidation, tender offer or otherwise) or (c) the sale, lease or other
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, there shall
thereafter be deliverable upon exercise of each Warrant (in lieu of the Warrant
Shares theretofore deliverable), at the lowest exercise price permitted by law,
the number of shares of stock or other securities or property to which a holder
of the Warrant Shares would have been entitled upon such transaction if such
Warrant had been exercised in full immediately prior to such transaction.
No Rights as Stockholders. Nothing contained in any Warrant agreement relating
to the Warrants or in any of the Warrants confers upon the holders thereof or
their transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to
receive notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights
whatsoever as stockholders of the Company.
Reservation of Shares; Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. The
Company shall reserve at all times so long as any Warrants remain outstanding,
free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose
of effecting the exercise of the Warrants, sufficient Warrant Shares to provide
for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and take all necessary action so
that all Warrant Shares that are issued upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon
issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The Company will use its best efforts to (a) obtain and keep effective any and
all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and
to make securities acts filing under federal and state laws, that are required
in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Warrant
certificates, the exercise or conversion of the Warrants, and the issuance,
sale, transfer and delivery of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise or
conversion of the Warrants, and (b) have the Warrant Shares, immediately upon
their issuance, listed on such securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
then listed.
The Warrant Agent for the Warrants is Chemical Mellon Shareholder Services
L.L.C., 111 Founders Plaza, Suite 1100, East Hartford, Connecticut 06108.
Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to issue up to 10.0 million
shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, in one or more series, with
such designations, powers, preferences and rights of such series and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, including, but not limited
to, the fixing of dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting
rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the
redemption price or prices, and the liquidation preferences, in each case, if
any, as the Board of Directors of the Company may by resolution determine,
without any further vote or action by the Company's stockholders.
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. By resolution
adopted December 17, 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
issuance of a series of preferred stock consisting of 1.2 million shares,
designated Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.01 per share, and fixed the terms of such Series A Preferred Stock. The
following summary of the terms and provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the relevant sections of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a
copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part.
The registrar and transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock is Chemical
Mellon Shareholder Services L.L.C., 111 Founders Plaza, Suite 1100, East
Hartford Connecticut 06108.
Liquidation Preference. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (a
"Liquidation"), subject to the prior preferences and other rights of any stock
ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the right to
receive assets upon liquidation, but before any distribution or payment shall be
made to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock ranking junior to the
Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation, the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available
for distribution to its stockholders, a liquidation preference (the "Series A
Liquidation Preference"), initially equal to $25.00 per share, plus all accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon to such date, in cash. During the period commencing
on the Issue Date and ending on the first Divident Payment Date immediately
preceeding the first Dividend Payment Date on which the Company is permitted to
declare and pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock under the
indentures and loan agreements of the Company as were in effect on the Issue
Date (the "Accretion Termination Date"), the Series A Liquidation Preference
accretes and accrues daily at the rate of 13% per annum from the Issue Date
through December 20, 1998 (the "Fifth Anniversary") and 18% per annum
thereafter. Until a shelf Registration Statement relating to the Series A
Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock Registration Statement") shall
become effective or if prior to the end of the period during which a
registration statement relating to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock is
required to be maintained effective pursuant to the Series A Preferred Stock
Registration Rights Agreement, the Commission issues a stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Series A Preferred Stock Registration Statement, then for
each day on which any of the foregoing events occurred and are continuing, the
rate increases by (a) 0.25% per annum from February 18, 1994 through June 18,
1994 (the "Initial Event Period") and (b) 0.50% per annum on each such day
thereafter. Such accretion shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and
shall compound quarterly on each Dividend Payment Date.
Dividends. Subject to the prior preferences and other rights of any stock
ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of
dividends, holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to
receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally
available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends that will
accrue from the Accretion Termination Date at the rate of 13% per annum through
the Fifth Anniversary and 18% per annum thereafter. Until the Registration
Statement shall become effective or in the event that, prior to the end of the
period during which a registration statement relating to the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock is required to be maintained effective pursuant to the Series A
Preferred Stock Registration Rights Agreement, the Commission issues a stop
order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, then for each
day on which any of the foregoing events occurred and are continuing, the rate
will increase by (a) 0.25% per annum during the Initial Event Period and (b)
0.50% per annum on each such day thereafter. Such accretion shall be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year and shall compound quarterly on each Dividend
Payment Date. Such dividends are cumulative and shall be payable in cash,
quarterly, in arrears, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, on March
31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year commencing on the first
Dividend Payment Date following the Accretion Termination Date. Each such
dividend shall be paid to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock
as their names appear on the share register of the Company at the close of
business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th day of the
calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or such other
record date designated by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to
the dividend payable on such respective Dividend Payment Date.
If full cash dividends are not paid or made available to the holders of all
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and of any stock ranking on a
parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in respect of the right to receive
dividends, and funds available are insufficient to permit payment in full in
cash to all such holders of the preferential amounts to which they are then
entitled, the entire amount available for payment of cash dividends shall be
distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and of any such
parity stock, ratably in proportion to the full amount to which they would
otherwise be respectively entitled, and any remainder not paid in cash to the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cumulate, whether or not earned or
declared, with additional dividends thereon for each succeeding full quarterly
dividend period during which such dividends shall remain unpaid. Unpaid
dividends for any period less than a full quarterly dividend period shall
cumulate on a day-to-day basis and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year.
So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the
Company shall not declare or pay on any stock ranking junior to the Series A
Preferred Stock in respect of the right to receive dividends any dividend
whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise (other than dividends payable
in shares of the class or series upon which such dividends are declared or
paid), nor shall the Company make any distribution on any such junior stock, nor
shall any such junior stock be purchased or redeemed by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, nor shall any monies be paid or made available for a
sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any such junior stock; provided
that from and after the Accretion Termination Date, the Company may declare and
pay cash dividends on such junior stock so long as (i) all dividends to which
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been entitled for all
previous dividend periods shall have been declared and paid and (ii) on or prior
to the later of (x) the first anniversary of the Accretion Termination Date and
(y) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Company will not pay dividends
on the Common Stock during any 12 month period exceeding 4% of the Current
Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior
to the declaration of any cash dividend.
Redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at any
time in whole or (except as noted below) from time to time, in part, at the
option of the Company, at a per share redemption price equal to the Liquidation
Preference per share on the date of redemption plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends thereon to and including the date of redemption. If less than all of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, such
shares shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot as determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion. The Company shall not redeem less than all of
the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock unless all cumulative
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all previous dividend periods have
been paid or declared and funds therefor set apart for payment.
The Company is required to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock on or prior to December 31, 2000 at a per share redemption price
equal to the Liquidation Preference per share on the date of redemption plus all
accrued but unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of redemption.
Notice of every proposed redemption of Series A Preferred Stock shall be sent by
or on behalf of the Company, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so to be redeemed at
their respective addresses as they shall appear on the records of the Company,
not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date
fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Date") (i) notifying such holders of the
election or obligation of the Company to redeem such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and of the Redemption Date, (ii) stating the place or places at
which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption shall, upon
presentation and surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, be redeemed, and the redemption price therefor, and (iii)
stating the name and address of any redemption agent selected by the Company and
the name and address of the Corporation's transfer agent for the Series A
Preferred Stock.
Voting. Except as set forth below or as otherwise required by law, the holders
of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no
voting rights.
So long as any Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company, without
first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not
less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class, will not: (i) amend or repeal any provision of, or
add any provision to, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation or
Restated By-laws if such action would alter adversely or change the preferences,
rights, privileges or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit
of, any Series A Preferred Stock, or increase or decrease the number of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock authorized; (ii) authorize or issue shares of any
class or series of stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in
respect of the right to receive dividends or assets upon liquidation; (iii)
reclassify any class or series of any junior stock into such parity stock or
senior stock or reclassify any series of parity stock into senior stock; (iv)
authorize, enter into, or consummate any transaction that would constitute a
deemed dividend to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock under United States
Federal tax laws; or (v) consolidate with or merge with or into another
corporation, other than in a transaction in which the Company is the surviving
corporation.
From and after the Accretion Termination Date, (i) if and whenever the Company
fails to declare and pay in cash the entire amount of dividends payable on the
Series A Preferred Stock on any two Dividend Payment Dates, then the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, will be entitled at
the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or at any special
meeting to elect one director, and (ii) if and whenever the Company shall have
failed to declare and pay in cash the entire amount of dividends payable on the
Series A Preferred Stock on any four Dividend Payment Dates, then the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, will be entitled at
the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or at any special
meeting to elect two directors. Upon election, such directors will become
additional directors of the Company and the authorized number of directors of
the Company will thereupon be automatically increased by such number of
directors. Such right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect
directors may be exercised until all dividends in default on the Series A
Preferred Stock have been paid in full, and dividends for the current dividend
period declared and funds therefor set apart or paid, and when so paid and set
apart or paid, the right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock to elect
such number of directors shall cease and the term of such directors shall
terminate, but subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of such
special voting rights in the case of any such future dividend default or
defaults.
Conversion Right. Each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock has the
right, at such holder's option, at any time or from time to time, to convert any
of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) $25.00 by (ii)
the conversion price, initially $11.11 and subject to adjustment as set forth
below (the "Series A Conversion Price"), in effect on the date of conversion.
The Series A Conversion Price is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in
the event of (i) dividends or other distributions of Common Stock, (ii)
subdivision and combinations of outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii)
dividends or other distributions of rights or warrants entitling the holders
thereof to subscribe for or purchase, during a period not exceeding 45 days from
the date of such dividend or other distribution, Common Stock at a price per
share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, (iv) dividends or
other distributions of other securities, evidences of its indebtedness or other
assets, excluding any cash dividend or cash distribution payable out of earned
surplus of the Company if the per share amount of such dividend or distribution,
together with the aggregate per share amount of all other cash dividends and
cash distributions declared or paid during the one year period ending on the
date such dividend is declared (the "Declaration Date") does not exceed 4% of
the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day
immediately prior to the Declaration Date, or (v) issuances by the Company of
any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common
Stock) for a consideration per share less than the Current Market Price per
share of Common Stock on the date of such issuance, subject to certain
exceptions.
Reorganizations. In case of (a) any consolidation with or merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, (b) the occurrence of any other transaction or
event pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Common Stock is
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the right
to receive, cash securities, property or other assets (whether by exchange
offer, liquidation, tender offer or otherwise) or (c) the sale, lease or other
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each share of
Series A Preferred Stock shall after the date of such transaction be convertible
into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such transaction) upon
conversion of such share of Series A Preferred Stock would have been entitled
upon such transaction.
Reservation Of Shares; Valid Issuance; Approvals. The Company shall (i) reserve
at all times so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain
outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if
applicable) or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both,
solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) take all necessary
action so that all shares of Common Stock that are issued upon conversion of the
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will, upon issuance, be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and (iii) take no action which will cause
a contrary result (including, without limitation, any action that would cause
the Conversion Price to be less than the par value, if any, of the Common
Stock).
If any shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company will in good faith
and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which
the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any
national securities exchange, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of
such exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of
issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. By resolution
adopted January 24, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the
issuance of a series of preferred stock consisting of 89,800 shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, and fixed the terms of such Series B Preferred Stock. The
following summary of the terms and provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the relevant sections of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Liquidation Preference. In the event of the Liquidation of the Company, subject
to the prior preferences and other rights of any stock ranking senior to the
Series B Preferred Stock in respect of the right to receive assets upon
liquidation (including the Series A Preferred Stock), but before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any
other stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock upon Liquidation, the
holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid, out of the
assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, a
liquidation preference (the "Series B Liquidation Preference"), initially equal
to $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to such date,
in cash. During the period commencing on December 9, 1994 (the "Series B Issue
Date") and ending on the Series B Dividend Payment Date (as defined herein)
immediately preceding the first Series B Dividend Payment Date on which the
Company is permitted to declare and pay cash dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock under the Company's indentures and loan agreements as were in effect on
the Series B Issue Date (the "Series B Accretion Termination Date"), the Series
B Liquidation Preference will accrete and accrue daily at the rate of 13% per
annum from the Series B Issue Date through December 9, 1999 and 18% per annum
thereafter. Such accretion shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and
shall compound quarterly on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31
of each year (each, a "Series B Dividend Payment Date").
Dividends. Subject to the prior preferences and other rights of any stock
ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of
dividends (including the Series A Preferred Stock), holders of shares of the
Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends,
cumulative cash dividends that will accrue from the Series B Accretion
Termination Date at the rate of (a) 13% per annum from the Series B Accretion
Termination Date through December 9, 1999 and (b) 18% per annum thereafter. Such
dividends are cumulative and shall be payable in cash, quarterly, in arrears,
when and as declared by the Board of Directors, on each Series B Dividend
Payment Date commencing on the first Series B Dividend Payment Date following
the Series B Accretion Termination Date.
So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the
Company shall not declare or pay on any stock ranking junior to the Series B
Preferred Stock in respect of the right to receive dividends any dividend
whatsoever, whether in cash, property or otherwise (other than dividends payable
in shares of the class or series upon which such dividends are declared or
paid), nor shall the Company make any distribution on any such junior stock, nor
shall any such junior stock be purchased or redeemed by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, nor shall any monies be paid or made available for a
sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of any such junior stock; provided
that from and after the Series B Accretion Termination Date, the Company may
declare and pay cash dividends on such junior stock so long as (i) all dividends
to which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been entitled for
all previous dividend periods shall have been declared and paid and (ii) on or
prior to the later of (x) the third year anniversary of the Series B Issue Date
and (y) the one year anniversary of the Series B Accretion Termination Date, the
Company will not pay dividends on the Common Stock during any 12 month period
exceeding 4% of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the
trading day immediately prior to the declaration of any cash dividend.
Redemption. The Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company in cash
at any time in whole or (except as noted below), from time to time, in part, at
the option of the Company, at a per share redemption price equal to the Series B
Liquidation Preference per share on the date of redemption plus all accrued but
unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of redemption. If less than
all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed,
such shares shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot as determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion. The Company shall not redeem less than all of
the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock unless all cumulative
dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for all previous dividend periods have
been paid or declared and funds therefor set apart for payment.
The Company is required to redeem all of the then outstanding shares of Series B
Preferred Stock on or prior to December 31, 2001 at a per share redemption price
equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference per share on the date of redemption
plus all accrued but unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of
redemption; provided, that the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed only if
all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed prior to such
proposed redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock.
Voting. Except as set forth below or as otherwise required by law, the holders
of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no
voting rights.
So long as any Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company, without
first obtaining the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of not
less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock,
voting separately as a class, will not: (i) amend or repeal any provision of, or
add any provision to, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws if
such action would alter adversely or change the preferences, rights, privileges
or powers of, or the restrictions provided for the benefit of, any Series B
Preferred Stock, or increase or decrease the number of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock authorized; (ii) authorize or issue shares of any class or
series of stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock in respect of the
right to receive dividends or assets upon liquidation; (iii) reclassify any
class or series of any junior stock into such parity stock or senior stock or
reclassify any series of parity stock into senior stock; or (iv) authorize,
enter into, or consummate any transaction that would constitute a deemed
dividend to holders of the Series B Preferred Stock under United States Federal
tax laws.
Conversion Right. Each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock has the
right, at such holder's option, at any time or from time to time, to convert any
of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) $25.00 by (ii)
the conversion price, initially $11.11 and subject to adjustment (the "Series B
Conversion Price"), in effect on the date of conversion. The Series B Conversion
Price is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution in the event of (i) dividends
or other distributions of Common Stock, (ii) subdivision and combinations of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, (iii) dividends or other distributions of
rights or warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase,
during a period not exceeding 45 days from the date of such dividend or other
distribution, Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market
Price of the Common Stock, (iv) dividends or other distributions of other
securities, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, excluding any cash
dividend or cash distribution payable out of earned surplus of the Company if
the per share amount of such dividend or distribution, together with the
aggregate per share amount of all other cash dividends and cash distributions
declared or paid during the one year period ending on the date such dividend is
declared the "Series B Declaration Date" does not exceed 4% of the Current
Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to
the Series B Declaration Date, or (v) issuances by the Company of any Common
Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) for a
consideration per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common
Stock on the date of such issuance, subject to certain exceptions.
Reorganizations. In case of (a) any consolidation with or merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, (b) the occurrence of any other transaction or
event pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Common Stock is
exchanged for, converted into, or acquired for, or constitutes solely the right
to receive, cash securities, property or other assets (whether by exchange
offer, liquidation, tender offer or otherwise) or (c) the sale, lease or other
transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each share of
Series B Preferred Stock shall after the date of such transaction be convertible
into the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including
cash) to which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such transaction) upon
conversion of such share of Series B Preferred Stock would have been entitled
upon such transaction.
Reservation of Shares; Valid Issuance; Approvals. The Company shall (i) reserve
at all times so long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, free
from preemptive rights, out of its treasury stock (if applicable) or its
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock, sufficient shares
of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of all outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock, (ii) take all necessary action so that all shares of Common
Stock that are issued upon conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock will,
upon issuance, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
(iii) take no action which will cause a contrary result (including, without
limitation, any action that would cause the Conversion Price to be less than the
par value, if any, of the Common Stock).
If any shares of Common Stock reserved for the purpose of conversion of shares
of Series B Preferred Stock require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or state law before such shares may be
validly issued or delivered upon conversion, then the Company will in good faith
and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be. If, and so long as, any Common Stock into which
the shares of Preferred Stock are then convertible is listed on any national
securities exchange, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such
exchange, list and keep listed on such exchange, upon official notice of
issuance, all shares of such Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion summarizes certain Federal income tax consequences to
the initial holders of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares under existing
Federal income tax law, which is subject to change, possibly retroactively. This
summary does not discuss all aspects of Federal income taxation that may be
relevant to a particular investor in light of his personal investment
circumstances or to certain types of investors subject to special treatment
under the Federal income tax laws (for example, financial institutions,
insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, broker-dealers, foreign
taxpayers, and taxpayers subject to the "straddle" rules of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) and it does not discuss any aspect of
state, local or foreign tax law. This summary assumes that investors will hold
their Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares as "capital assets" (generally,
property held for investment) under the Code. Holders are advised to consult
their tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences of holding and disposing
of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares, including the application and
effect of Federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.
This summary is based on the Company's understanding of the Federal income tax
laws, which in turn is in part based on discussions with the Company's
professional advisers. It is the Company's belief that all material Federal
income tax consequences are addressed.
Upon the exercise of a Series A Warrant, a holder will not recognize gain or
loss and will have a tax basis in the Warrant Shares received equal to the tax
basis in such holder's Series A Warrant plus the exercise price thereof. Because
the Series A Warrants have a minimal exercise price, it is not certain whether a
holder will be treated as owning a Series A Warrant or the shares of Common
Stock underlying the Series A Warrant for Federal income tax purposes. Holders
are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding such possibility. If the
Series A Warrants are treated as warrants for Federal income tax purposes, the
holding period for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of a
Series A Warrant will begin on the day following the date of exercise and will
not include the period that the holder held his Series A Warrant. On the other
hand, if the Series A Warrants are treated as Common Stock, the holding period
for the Warrant Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Series A Warrant
will include the period during which the Series A Warrant was held by the
holder. The holding period for the Series A Warrants began on the day following
the day they were acquired.
Upon a sale or other disposition of Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares, a
holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference
between the amount realized and the holder's tax basis in such Series A Warrants
or Warrant Shares. Such a gain or loss will be long-term if the holding period
is more than one year. In the event that a Series A Warrant lapses unexercised,
a holder will recognize a capital loss in an amount equal to his tax basis in
the Series A Warrant. Such loss will be long term if the Series A Warrant has
been held for more than one year.
An adjustment in the exercise price of the Series A Warrants to reflect
distributions to holders of Common Stock may, in certain circumstances, be
treated as a constructive distribution to holders of Series A Warrants subject
to tax as a dividend pursuant to Section 305 of the Code. Although the matter is
not entirely free from doubt, adjustments to the Warrant Ratio should not be
treated as a constructive distribution.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company will issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Series A Warrants by
Selling Security Holders from time to time through the Expiration Date pursuant
to the terms of the Series A Warrants and the Series A Warrant Agreement. See
"Description of Securities -- Series A Warrants." The Company will receive
proceeds of $.01 per Series A Warrant Share issued upon the exercise of the
Series A Warrants. The Company will receive no proceeds from the resale of the
Series A Warrants and the Warrant Shares by the Selling Security Holders
pursuant to this offering. The Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares offered for
resale hereby may be sold from time to time by the Selling Security Holders. Any
such distribution of the Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares by the Selling
Security Holders, or by transferees or other successors-in-interest of the
Selling Security Holders, may be effected from time to time in one or more
transactions (which may involve block transactions) on the NYSE or in the
over-the-counter market (to the extent that such securities are listed or traded
on such markets), in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods
of sale, at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling
Security Holders may effect such transactions directly to purchasers or to or
through broker-dealers which may act as agents or principals. Such
broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Selling Security Holders and/or the
purchasers of Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares for which broker-dealers may
act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal or both (which compensation
as to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary
commissions). In addition, any Common Stock covered by this Prospectus that
subsequently qualifies for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may
be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.
The Series A Warrants were issued to the original purchasers on December 20,
1993 in a private placement. Pursuant to the Series A Warrant Registration
Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus forms a part with the Commission, and to keep the Registration
Statement effective until all of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares are
sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act. There is no established trading market for the Series A
Warrants. The Company does not intend to list the Series A Warrants on any
securities exchange or to seek approval for quotation through any automated
quotation system. There is no dealer which is obligated to make a market in the
Series A Warrants and, if any dealer or dealers should do so, they may
discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be
given as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Series A Warrants.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company understands that the Selling
Security Holders do not have any agreement, arrangement or understanding
concerning the distribution of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares offered
hereby.
At the time a particular offer of Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares is made, a
Prospectus Supplement, to the extent required, will be distributed which will
set forth the aggregate amount of Series A Warrants or Warrant Shares being
offered, the names of the selling security holders, the purchase price, the
amount of expenses of the offering and the terms of the offering, including the
name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions
and other items constituting compensation from such selling security holders and
any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers.
To comply with certain states' securities laws, if applicable, the Series A
Warrants and Warrant Shares will be sold in such states only through brokers or
dealers. In addition, in certain states the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualify for sale in such
states or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is
complied with. The Company is obligated pursuant to the Series A Warrant
Registration Rights Agreement to use its best efforts to register or qualify the
Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of
such jurisdictions as any Selling Security Holder reasonably requests.
Any broker-dealers who participate in a sale of their Series A Warrants or
Warrant Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section
2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them, and proceeds
of any such sales as principal, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.
Pursuant to the Series A Warrant Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has
paid or will pay any and all expenses incident to the performance of such
agreement including filing fees, fees and expenses incurred in connection with
compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of the applicable states, and
fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the
Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel retained by the
Selling Security Holders in connection with the Registration Statement. Such
expenses are estimated to be approximately $156,000. As and when the Company is
required to update this Prospectus, it may incur additional expenses in excess
of this estimated amount. Normal commission expenses and brokerage fees, as well
as any applicable underwriting discounts or transfer taxes, are payable
individually by the Selling Security Holders.
In the Series A Warrant Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Selling
Security Holders, the officers, directors, shareholders, agents, affiliates and
partners of the Selling Security Holders, any person who participates as an
underwriter in the offering and sale of the Series A Warrants and Warrant Shares
and any person who controls any of such sellers or any of such underwriters
against losses, claims and expenses arising out of any false or misleading
statements contained in this Prospectus or the Registration Statement of which
it is a part. The Selling Security Holders have agreed to indemnify the Company
against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of statements made by them
for reliance by the Company in connection with the Registration Statement or
this Prospectus.

Certain legal matters in connection with the sale of the Series A Warrants and
Warrant Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Robinson
Silverman Pearce Aronsohn & Berman LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York,
New York 10104.

of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our

standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

TEREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1995
(dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
NOTE A -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Terex Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries ("Terex" or
the "Company"). All material intercompany balances, transactions and profits
have been eliminated. The equity method is used to account for investments in
affiliates in which the Company has an ownership interest between 20% and 50%.
Investments in entities in which the Company has an ownership interest of less
than 20% are accounted for on the cost method or at fair value in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments
with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying amount of cash
and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
Cash Securing Letters of Credit. The Company has certain cash and cash
equivalents that are not fully available for use in its operations. Certain
international operations collateralize letters of credit and performance bonds
with cash deposits. In addition, certain provisions of the Company's previous
lending agreement with a commercial bank required that amounts be deposited in a
cash collateral account to collateralize letters of credit issued by that bank.
Customer Deposits. The customer deposit asset and liability in 1995 represent a
deposit made by an Australian customer on a large order placed with Unit Rig.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost
is determined by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for certain domestic
inventories and by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method for inventories of
international subsidiaries and certain domestic inventories. Approximately 32%
and 50% of consolidated inventories at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
are accounted for under the LIFO method.
Debt Issuance Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company's
financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the
associated debt. Capitalized debt issuance costs related to debt that is retired
early are charged to expense at the time of retirement. Unamortized debt
issuance costs totaled $14.5 and $3.3 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company amortized $2.3, $2.3 and
$3.4, respectively, of capitalized debt issuance costs; in addition, $7.5, $0.7
and $2.2 of such costs were charged to extraordinary loss on retirement of debt
in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets include purchased patents and trademarks.
Costs allocated to patents, trademarks and other specifically identifiable
assets arising from business combinations are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the respective estimated useful lives not exceeding seven years.
Goodwill. Goodwill, representing the difference between the total purchase price
and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the
date of acquisition, is being amortized on a straight-line basis over between
fifteen and forty years. Accumulated amortization is $4.2 and $0.7 at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. It is the Company's policy to periodically
evaluate the carrying value of goodwill, and to recognize impairments when the
estimated related future net operating cash flows is less than its carrying
value. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the
difference between estimated future discounted cash flows and the carrying value
of the goodwill.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized while
expenditures for maintenance and repairs not expected to extend the life of an
asset beyond its normal useful life are charged to expense when incurred. Plant
and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets
under the straight-line method of depreciation for financial reporting purposes
and both straight-line and other methods for tax purposes.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue and costs are generally recorded when products are
shipped and invoiced to either independently owned and operated dealers or to
customers. Certain new units may be invoiced prior to the time customers take
physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer
has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed,
tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the
customer has requested that the Company hold the units for pickup or delivery at
a time specified by the customer in the sales documents. In such cases, the
units are invoiced under the Company's customary billing terms, title to the
units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are
segregated from the Company's inventory and identified as belonging to the
customer and the Company has no further obligations under the order.
Accrued Warranties and Product Liability. The Company records accruals for
potential warranty and product liability claims based on the Company's claim
experience. Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The
Company provides self-insurance accruals for estimated product liability
experience on known claims and for claims anticipated to have been incurred
which have not yet been reported. The Company's product liability accruals are
presented on a gross settlement basis. Product liability payments, including
expenses, are estimated to approximate $10.0 per year.
Non Pension Postretirement Benefits. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106 "Employers
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions" on January 1, 1993.
The statement requires accrual of the obligation to provide future benefits to
employees during the years that the employees provide service. The Company
provides postretirement benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees
and certain hourly employees covered by bargaining unit contracts that provide
such benefits. The Company elected the delayed recognition method of adoption,
and the effect of adoption of the new standard was not material to the Company's
financial statements. (See Note K -- "Retirement Plans.")
Foreign Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the Company's
international operations are translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.
For operations whose functional currency is the local currency, translation
adjustments are accumulated in the Cumulative Translation Adjustment component
of Stockholders' Deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency
transactions are included in Other income (expense) -- net.
Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses foreign exchange contracts to hedge
recorded balance sheet amounts related to certain international operations and
firm commitments that create currency exposures. The Company does not enter into
speculative contracts. Gains and losses on hedges of assets and liabilities are
recognized in income as offsets to the gains and losses from the underlying
hedged amounts. Gains and losses on hedges of firm commitments are recorded on
the basis of the underlying transaction. At December 31, 1995 the Company had
foreign exchange contracts, which were hedges of firm commitments, totaling
$21.8 whose fair value approximates its carrying value. These contracts related
primarily to the customer deposit discussed above. At December 31, 1994, the
Company had no material outstanding foreign exchange contracts.
Environmental Policies. Environmental expenditures that relate to current
operations are either expensed or capitalized depending on the nature of the
expenditure. Expenditures relating to conditions caused by past operations that
do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed.
Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial actions
are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such amounts were not
material at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant
improvements to existing products are included in Engineering, Selling and
Administrative Expenses and amounted to $11.2 in 1995, $10.5 in 1994 and $11.8
in 1993.
Income Taxes. The Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" on
January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities
be recorded based upon the difference between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. SFAS
No. 109 further requires that the Company record a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is dependent on future taxable
income. The effect of adoption of the new standard was not material to the
Company's financial statements. (See Note H -- "Income Taxes.")
Net Income (Loss) Per Share. Net income (loss) per share is based on the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during the year. The dilutive effect of common stock equivalents (if applicable)
is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts shown for 1993 and 1994 have been
reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

NOTE B -- ACQUISITIONS
PPM, Inc. - On May 9, 1995, the Company, through Terex Cranes, Inc., a Delaware
corporation which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Terex Cranes"),
completed the acquisition (the "PPM Acquisition") of substantially all of the
shares of P.P.M. S.A., a societe anonyme ("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., a
societe anonyme, and all of the capital stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a
Delaware corporation which owns 92.4% of the capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("PPM North America;" and PPM North America together with
PPM Europe collectively referred to as "PPM") from Legris Industries S.A., a
societe anonyme ("Legris France"). PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile
cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and Western Europe
under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and
BENDINI. Concurrently with the completion of the PPM Acquisition, the Company
contributed the assets (subject to liabilities) of its Koehring Cranes and
Excavators and Marklift division to Terex Cranes. The former division now
operates as Koehring Cranes, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Cranes
("Koehring"). Koehring manufactures mobile cranes under the LORAIN brand name
and aerial lift equipment under the MARKLIFT brand name. PPM and Koehring
comprise Terex Cranes, Inc., the Company's Mobile Cranes Segment.
The purchase price of PPM, including acquisition costs, was approximately
$104.5. Approximately $92.6 of the purchase price was paid in cash, including
the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid in connection
with the acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price consisted of the
issuance of redeemable preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate
liquidation preference of 127 million French francs (approximately $26.1),
subject to adjustment. The purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by
reference to the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined by an audit
as of the date of closing. The preferred stock does not bear a dividend and,
accordingly, the Company has valued this stock at approximately $8.8 (discounted
at 15%). The Company has not yet reached agreement with the sellers about the
amount of purchase price adjustment but, based on work performed, the Company
believes that the amount of the preferred stock could ultimately be reduced.
The PPM Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, with the purchase price
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their
respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of
purchase price over the net assets acquired is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years. The estimated fair values of assets and
liabilities acquired in the PPM Acquisition are summarized as follows:
Cash $ 1.0
Accounts receivable 33.8
Inventories 69.1
Other current assets 11.9
Property, plant and equipment 20.5
Other assets 0.3
Goodwill 68.0
Accounts payable and other current liabilities (86.6)
Other liabilities (13.5)
$ 104.5
<PAGE>
The operating results of PPM are included in the Company's consolidated results
of operations since May 9, 1995. The following pro forma summary presents the
consolidated results of operations as though the Company completed the PPM
Acquisition on January 1, 1994, after giving effect to certain adjustments,
including amortization of goodwill, interest expense and amortization of debt
issuance costs on the debt issued in the Refinancing:

In December 1993, the Company, which owned 26% of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation
("FTC" or "Fruehauf") before the sale, sold one million shares of FTC Common
Stock. The Company realized a gain of $3.0. In 1994, the Company sold 5.9
million shares of FTC stock for $24.9. In January 1995, the Company sold its

The Senior Secured Notes
On May 9, 1995, the Company issued $250 of Senior Secured Notes due May 15,
2002. The Senior Secured Notes were issued in conjunction with the PPM
Acquisition and a refinancing of the Old Senior Secured Notes, and Subordinated
Notes. Except in the event of certain asset sales, there are no principal
repayment or sinking fund requirements prior to maturity. Interest on the Notes
is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on
November 15, 1995, to holders of record on the immediately preceding May 1 and
November 1, respectively. The Notes bear interest at 13 3/4% per annum. Upon the
earlier of (i) the consummation of an exchange offer and (ii) the effectiveness
of a Shelf Registration Statement, the interest rate on the Notes will decrease
to 13 1/4% per annum. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Senior Secured Notes are senior obligations of the Company, pari passu in
right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to
all subordinated indebtedness. Repayment of the Senior Secured Notes are
guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the "Guarantors").
The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority security interest on
substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, other than
cash and cash equivalents, except that as to accounts receivable and inventory
and proceeds thereof, and certain related rights, such security shall be
subordinated to liens securing obligations outstanding under any working capital
or revolving credit facility secured by such accounts receivable and inventory,
including the Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Notes are also secured by a
lien on certain assets of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The indenture for
the Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's ability to incur
additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue, pay dividends on
or redeem equity securities; sell assets; consolidate, merge or transfer assets
to another entity; and enter into transactions with affiliates.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the Company issued
one million stock appreciation rights ("1995 SARs") entitling the holders to
receive cash or Terex Corporation common stock, at the option of the Company, in
an amount equal to the average closing sale price of the common stock for 60
trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288 for each SAR.
The Credit Facility
The Company currently has a secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with certain institutional lenders (the "Lenders"). Under the terms
of such facility, the Company and Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC"),
Koehring and PPM North America, each a subsidiary of the Company, (collectively,
the "Borrowers") will have availability, subject to the borrowing base
limitations set forth below, in an aggregate amount of up to $100. Subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Facility, the Borrowers may
borrow (in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 in outstanding letters of
credit) an amount at any time outstanding initially equalling the sum of the
following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible receivables (as defined in the
Credit Facility) of the Company, Koehring and PPM North America, plus (ii) 70%
of the net amount of eligible receivables of CMHC, plus (iii) the lesser of (a)
45% of the value of eligible inventory (as defined in the Credit Facility) of
the Borrowers or (b) 80% of the appraised orderly liquidation value of eligible
inventory.
Each Borrower guarantees, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations
of the other Borrowers under the Credit Facility, which obligations will
generally be secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the
Lenders in all of the receivables and inventory and certain related rights of
the Borrowers.
The outstanding principal amount of prime rate loans initially bears interest at
the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and the outstanding
principal amount of Eurodollar rate loans initially bears interest at the rate
of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate. The Company must
pay a fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The
Credit Facility contains covenants limiting the Borrowers' activities,
including, without limitation, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness,
liens, asset sales, dividends and other payments, investments, mergers and
related party transactions.
The Credit Facility matures on May 9, 1998. The Lenders, at their option, may
extend the facility for one additional year. In the event that for any reason
the facility is terminated prior to the maturity date, the Borrowers must pay to
the Lenders a termination fee.
Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes
The Old Senior Secured Notes and Subordinated Notes were retired on May 9, 1995
in conjunction with the PPM Acquisition and the issuance of the Senior Secured
Notes. The Company realized an extraordinary loss of $5.7 and $1.6 on the early
extinguishment of the Old Senior Secured Notes and the Subordinated Notes,
respectively. The Old Senior Secured Notes, were issued during July 1992 for a
total of $160.0 in conjunction with the CMH Acquisition and a refinancing of the
Company's bank debt. Proceeds from the issuance of the Old Senior Secured Notes
were used for the cash portion of the CMH Acquisition purchase price ($85.0),
for the settlement of all amounts outstanding under its previous credit facility
($58.0), and for working capital and transaction costs. Interest on the Senior
Secured Notes was due semiannually on February 1 and August 1.
The indenture for the Old Senior Secured Notes required that proceeds from the
sale of collateral be used to make an offer to repurchase, at par, an equivalent
amount of Old Senior Secured Notes. During 1994, as a result of sales of 5.4
million shares of Fruehauf common stock during 1994 and 1.0 million shares in
the last quarter of 1993, the Company repurchased $27.3 principal amount of the
Old Senior Secured Notes. The Company realized an extraordinary loss of $0.7 on
the repurchases in conjunction with the accelerated write off of related
discount and debt issuance costs.
In December 1993, the Company repurchased in the open market $5.0 principal
amount of Old Senior Secured Notes for approximately $4.5, including accrued
interest, and had such notes cancelled as of December 31, 1993. The Company
realized an extraordinary gain from the early extinguishment of debt of $0.5,
net of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.
The Subordinated Notes were initially issued as unsecured subordinated notes for
a total amount of $50.0. Interest on the Subordinated Notes was due semiannually
on January 2 and July 1.
Lending Facility
The Lending Facility was terminated in May 1995 in conjunction with the PPM
Acquisition and entering into the Credit Facility. The Company realized an
extraordinary loss of $0.2 to write-off the unamortized debt issuance cost at
termination. In May 1993, Terex entered into an agreement with a new lender
which initially provided short-term financing and currently provides long term
financing (the "Lending Facility"). The Lending Facility was secured by
substantially all the Company's domestic receivables and proceeds thereof.
Interest on Lending Facility borrowings was payable monthly at variable rates
generally equal to 2.75% above the prime rate. During 1994, the agreement was
amended to extend the maturity date from August 24, 1995 to August 24, 1997. The
agreement provided for up to $30.0 of cash advances and guarantees through April
30, 1995, and $25.0 thereafter through the extended maturity date. The balance
outstanding under the Lending Facility at December 31, 1994 was $24.1.
Accordingly, all outstanding borrowings are classified as Long Term Debt in the
accompanying Balance Sheet.
In conjunction with entering into the Lending Facility, the Company terminated a
former bank lending agreement and recognized, as an extraordinary item, a charge
of $2.0 to write off the unamortized debt issuance costs.
TEL Facility
In 1995, the Company's subsidiary, Terex Equipment Limited ("TEL") located in
Motherwell, Scotland, entered into a bank facility (the "TEL Facility") which
provides up to (pound)30.5 ($47.4) including up to (pound)10.0 ($15.5)
non-recourse discounting of accounts receivable which meet certain credit
criteria, plus additional facilities for tender and performance bonds and
foreign exchange contracts. Interest rates vary between 1.0% - 1.5% above the
financial institution's Published Base Rate or LIBOR. The TEL Facility is
collateralized primarily by the related accounts receivable. The TEL Facility
requires no performance covenants. Proceeds from the TEL Facility are primarily
used for working capital purposes. Amounts discounted under this and the prior
facility were $11.7 and $11.9 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
In 1993, the Company's subsidiary, Terex Equipment Limited ("TEL") located in
Motherwell, Scotland, entered into a bank facility (the "Old TEL Facility")
which provides up to (pound)28.0 ($42.0) including up to (pound)13.0 ($19.5)
non-recourse discounting of accounts receivable which meet certain credit
criteria, plus additional facilities for tender and performance bonds and
foreign exchange contracts. Interest rates vary between 1.0% - 1.5% above the
financial institution's Published Base Rate or LIBOR. The Old TEL Facility is
collateralized primarily by the related accounts receivable. The Old TEL
Facility requires no performance covenants. Proceeds from the Old TEL Facility
are primarily used for working capital purposes.
Note Payable
As part of the PPM Acquisition, the Company assumed the obligation for a note
payable to Harnischfeger Corporation. The note is non-interest bearing.
Schedule of Debt Maturities
Scheduled annual maturities of long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 1995
in the successive five-year period are summarized below. Amounts shown are
exclusive of minimum lease payments disclosed in Note G -- "Lease Commitments":
1996 $ 1.8
1997 0.7
1998 67.2
1999 0.4
2000 0.3
Thereafter 250.2
Total $ 320.6
<PAGE>
Based on quoted market values, the Company believes that the fair value of the
Senior Secured Notes was approximately $218.8 as of December 31, 1995. The
Company believes that, based on quoted market values, the carrying value of its
other borrowings approximates fair market value, based on discounting future
cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and
remaining maturities.
The Company paid $43.1, $32.2 and $31.8 of interest in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.
The weighted average interest rate on short term borrowings outstanding was
10.0% at December 31, 1995 and 10.2% at December 31, 1994.
NOTE G -- LEASE COMMITMENTS
The Company leases certain facilities, machinery and equipment, and vehicles
with varying terms. Under most leasing arrangements, the Company pays the
property taxes, insurance, maintenance and expenses related to the leased
property. Certain of the equipment leases are classified as capital leases and
the related assets have been included in Property, Plant and Equipment. Net
assets under capital leases were $20.4 and $5.9 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $3.5 and $2.9 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company's Material Handling Segment also routinely enters into
sale-leaseback arrangements for certain equipment, which is later sold to
third-party customers under sales-type lease agreements. The Company maintains a
net investment in these leases, represented by the present value of payments due
under the leases of $6.6 of which $2.4 is current at December 31, 1995.
In connection with the original sale-leaseback arrangements underlying the
customer leasing program, the Company has an outstanding rental installment
obligation which is recorded based on the present value of minimum payments due
under the leases.
Future minimum capital and noncancelable operating lease payments and the
related present value of capital lease payments at December 31, 1995 are as
follows:
Capital Operating
Leases Leases
1996 $ 6.9 $ 6.6
1997 4.8 5.3
1998 2.9 2.1
1999 1.3 1.7
2000 0.5 1.2
Thereafter 0.2 1.1
Total minimum obligations 16.6 $ 18.0
Less amount representing interest 1.7
Present value of net minimum obligations 14.9
Less current portion 5.8
Long-term obligations $ 9.1
Most of the Company's operating leases provide the Company with the option to
renew the leases for varying periods after the initial lease terms. These
renewal options enable the Company to renew the leases based upon the fair
rental values at the date of expiration of the initial lease. Total rental
expense under operating leases was $6.5, $7.4 and $6.3 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.
In November 1994, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for
CMH's parts distribution center in Germany. The Company received net proceeds of
$11.0 and will lease the facility under the terms of a five year lease for a
total rental of $1.9 per year. The Company realized a gain of $4.0 which was
deferred and will be amortized as a reduction of rental expense over the lease
term ($0.8 per year).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the basis of
assets and liabilities for tax and financial statement purposes. In accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," a valuation allowance has been
recognized. The tax effects of the basis differences and net operating loss
carryforward as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized below for major

The Company's Provision for Income Taxes is different from the amount which
would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the
Company's Loss Before Income Taxes and Extraordinary Items. The reasons for the
difference are summarized below:

The Company has not provided for U.S. federal and foreign withholding taxes on
$19.0 of foreign subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of December 31, 1995,
because such earnings are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. Any income tax
liability that would result had such earnings actually been repatriated would
likely be offset by utilization of NOL's. On repatriation, certain foreign
countries impose withholding taxes. The amount of withholding tax that would be
payable on remittance of the entire amount of undistributed earnings would
approximate $3.4.
At December 31, 1995, the Company had domestic federal net operating loss
carryforwards of $297.7. Approximately $69.7 of the remaining net operating loss
carryforwards are subject to special limitations under the Internal Revenue
Code, and the NOL's may be affected by the current IRS examination discussed
below.
The tax basis net operating loss carryforwards expire as follows:
Tax Basis Net
Operating Loss
Carryforwards
1996 $ 45.2
1997 8.0
1998 11.9
1999 ---
2000 4.6
2006 20.7
2007 35.7
2008 97.3
2009 34.2
2010 40.1
Total $ 297.7
The Company also has various state net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards expiring at various dates through 2010 available to reduce future
state taxable income and income taxes. In addition, the Company's foreign
subsidiaries have approximately $62.5 of loss carryforwards, $36.1 in Germany,
$11.9 in U.K. and $14.5 in other countries, which are available to offset future
foreign taxable income. The loss carryforwards in Germany and U.K. are available
without expiration. The loss carryforwards in other countries of $10.7 are
available without expiration, with the remaining $3.8 expiring in the years 1996
through 2001.
The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company's federal tax
returns for the years 1987 through 1989. In December 1994, the Company received
an examination report from the IRS proposing a substantial tax deficiency based
on this examination. The examination report raises a variety of issues,
including the Company's substantiation for certain deductions taken during this
period, the Company's utilization of certain net operating loss carryovers
("NOL's") and the availability of such NOL's to offset future taxable income. If
the IRS were to prevail on all the issues raised, the amount of the tax
assessment would be approximately $56 plus interest and penalties. If the
Company were required to pay a significant portion of the assessment, it could
have a material adverse impact on the Company and could exceed the Company's
resources. The Company has filed its administrative appeal to the examination
report. Although management believes that the Company will be able to provide
adequate documentation for a substantial portion of the deductions questioned by
the IRS and that there is substantial support for the Company's past and future
utilization of the NOL's, the ultimate outcome of this matter is subject to the
resolution of significant legal and factual issues. If the Company's positions
prevail on the most significant issues, management believes that the amounts due
would not exceed amounts previously paid or provided; however, even under such
circumstances, it is possible that the Company's NOL's could be reduced to some
extent. No additional accruals have been made for any amounts which might be due
as a result of this matter because the possible loss ranges from zero to $56
plus interest and penalties and the ultimate outcome cannot presently be
determined or estimated.
The Company made income tax payments of $0.0, $0.8 and $0.1 in 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively.
NOTE I -- PREFERRED STOCK
The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October 1993 to
authorize 10.0 million shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. As
of December 31, 1995, a total of 1.2 million shares of preferred stock are
issued and outstanding as described below.
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 1.2 million issued and outstanding
shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series A Preferred Stock"). These shares were issued as part of a private
placement on December 20, 1993 which also included the issuance of 1.3 million
Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "Series A Warrants," see Note J --
"Stockholders' Deficit"). The Series A Preferred Stock has a par value of $.01
per share and an initial liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the
"Liquidation Preference"). During the period from the issue date and ending at
the Accretion Termination Date (as defined below), the Liquidation Preference
will accrete at the rate of 13% per year until December 20, 1998, and 18% per
year thereafter. The Liquidation Preference totaled $39.2 at December 31, 1995.
After the Accretion Termination Date, the holders of the Series A Preferred
Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, as described
below. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 2.25 shares of
the Company's common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and
is redeemable at the option of the Company on or after December 31, 1994 at a
price equal to the Liquidation Preference plus unpaid dividends provided that a
concurrent redemption of all outstanding Series A Warrants is made. The Series A
Preferred Stock is subject to a mandatory redemption requirement on or before
December 31, 2000 at a per share redemption price equal to the Liquidation
Preference on the date of redemption plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The
Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights except when and if dividends are
in arrears as described below.
Commencing three months prior to the date the Company's indentures and loan
agreements allow the Company to declare and pay cash dividends on the Series A
Preferred Stock ("the Accretion Termination Date"), dividends will begin to
accrue at the rate of 13% per year through December 20, 1998, and at the rate of
18% per year thereafter. After the Accretion Termination Date the holders of the
Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to elect one additional director of
the Company if the Company fails to declare and pay the full amount of dividends
payable on any two dividend payment dates. Such holders will have a right to
elect two additional directors of the Company if the Company misses four
dividend payment dates.
The aggregate net proceeds to the Company for the Series A Preferred Stock and
the Series A Warrants issued on December 20, 1993 were $27.2. The Company
allocated $10.3 and $16.9 of this amount to the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series A Warrants, respectively, based on management's estimate of the relative
fair values of these securities at the time of their issuance, using information
provided by the Company's investment bankers. The difference between the
initially recorded amount and the redemption amount will be accreted to the
carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock using the interest method over
the period from issuance to the mandatory redemption date, December 31, 2000. In
addition, the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock will be further
adjusted for increases in the Liquidation Preference prior to the Accretion
Termination Date as described above. The total accretion recorded in 1995 and
1994 was $7.3 and $6.0, respectively.
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 38.8 thousand issued and outstanding
shares of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Series B Preferred Stock"). These shares constitute the remaining balance
outstanding of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to certain individuals on
December 9, 1994 in consideration for the early termination of a contract
between the Company and KCS Industries, L.P., a Connecticut limited partnership
("KCS"), a related party (see Note M -- "Related Party Transactions"). The
Series B Preferred Stock has a par value of $.01 per share and an initial
liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the "Liquidation Preference").
During the period from the issue date and ending at the Accretion Termination
Date (as defined below), the Liquidation Preference will accrete at the rate of
13% per year until December 20, 1999, and 18% per year thereafter. The
Liquidation Preference totaled $2.0 at December 31, 1995.
After the Accretion Termination Date, the holders of the Series B Preferred
Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, as described
below. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 2.25 shares of
the Company's common stock (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and
is redeemable at the option of the Company on or after December 31, 1995 at a
price equal to the Liquidation Preference plus unpaid dividends provided that a
concurrent redemption of all outstanding Series B Warrants, as described below,
is made. The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to a mandatory redemption
requirement on or before December 31, 2001 at a per share redemption price equal
to the Liquidation Preference on the date of redemption plus accrued but unpaid
dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights except when and if
dividends are in arrears as described below.
Commencing three months prior to the date the Company's indentures and loan
agreements allow the Company to declare and pay cash dividends on the Series B
Preferred Stock ("the Accretion Termination Date"), dividends will begin to
accrue at the rate of 13% per year through December 20, 1999, and at the rate of
18% per year thereafter.
The Company allocated $0.9 and $0.7 to the Series B Preferred Stock and the
Series B Warrants, respectively, based on management's estimate of the relative
fair values of these securities at the time of their issuance (equivalent to the
allocation used for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Warrants). The
difference between the initially recorded amount and the redemption amount will
be accreted to the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock using the
interest method over the period from issuance to the mandatory redemption date,
December 31, 2001. In addition, the carrying value of the Series B Preferred
Stock will be further adjusted for increases in the Liquidation Preference prior
to the Accretion Termination Date as described above.
NOTE J -- STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT
Common Stock. The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended in October
1993 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $.01
(the "Common Stock"), to 30.0 million. As of December 31, 1995, there were 10.6
million shares issued and outstanding. Of the 19.4 million unissued shares at
that date, 6.7 million shares were reserved for issuance for conversion of
Series A and B Preferred Stock (Note I) and the exercise of stock options and
Series A and B Warrants.
In December 1993, the Company issued 0.4 million shares of Common Stock as a
contribution to two of the Company's pension plans. The Company valued these
shares at $2.3, based on 96.5% of the market price of the Common Stock on the
date of issuance.
Series A Warrants. In connection with the private placement of the Series A
Preferred Stock (see Note I -- "Series A Preferred Stock"), the Company issued
1.3 million Series A Warrants. Each Series A Warrant may be exercised, in whole
or in part, at the option of the holder at any time before the expiration date
on December 31, 2000 and is redeemable by the Company under certain
circumstances. As of December 31, 1995, upon the exercise or redemption of a
Warrant, the holder thereof was entitled to receive 2.35 shares of Common Stock.
The exercise price for the Warrants is $.01 for each share of Common Stock. The
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or redemption of the
Warrants is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
Series B Warrants. In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred
Stock (see Note I -- "Series B Preferred Stock"), the Company issued 107.0
thousand Series B Warrants. Each Series B Warrant may be exercised, in whole or
in part, at the option of the holder at any time before the expiration date on
December 31, 2001 and is redeemable by the Company under certain circumstances.
Upon the exercise or redemption of a Warrant, the holder thereof shall be
entitled to receive one share of Common Stock. The exercise price for the
Warrants is $.01 for each share of Common Stock. At December 31, 1995,
approximately 16 thousand warrants remain unexercised.
Stock Options. The Company maintains a qualified incentive stock option ("ISO")
plan covering certain officers and key employees. The exercise price of the ISO
is the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. The ISO allows the
holder to purchase shares of common stock, commencing one year after grant. ISO
expire after ten years. At December 31, 1995, 4.8 thousand stock options were
available for grant under the plan.
The following table is a summary of stock options:
Number of Exercise Price per
Options Option
Outstanding at December 31, 1992 59,666 $ 6.40 to 14.80
Granted 23,750 7.13 to 10.50

Canceled or expired (3,750) 14.8
Outstanding at December 31, 1994 82,166 $ 6.40 to 14.80
Granted 27,900 4.25
Exercised ---
Canceled or expired (6,666) 7.13 to 14.80
Outstanding at December 31, 1995 103,400 $ 4.25 to 14.80
Exercisable at December 31, 1995 62,168 $ 6.40 to 14.80
Long-Term Incentive Plans. In December 1995, the Board of Directors approved,
subject to shareholder approval, the 1996 Terex Corporation Long-Term Incentive
Plan (the "1996 Plan"). The 1996 Plan authorizes the granting of (i) options
("Stock Option Awards") to purchase shares of Common Stock, including Restricted
Stock, (ii) shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock ("Stock Awards"),
and (iii) cash bonus awards based upon a participant's job performance
("Performance Awards"). Subject to adjustment as described below under
"Adjustments," the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including
Restricted Stock, if any) optioned or granted under the 1996 Plan shall not
exceed 300 thousand shares. The 1996 Plan provides that a committee (the
"Committee") of the Board of Directors consisting of two or more members thereof
who are non-employee directors, shall administer the 1996 Plan and has provided
the Committee with the flexibility to respond to changes in the competitive and
legal environments, thereby protecting and enhancing the Company's current and
future ability to attract and retain directors and officers and other key
employees and consultants. The 1996 Plan also provides for automatic grants of
Stock Option Awards to non-employee directors. In June 1994, the Company's board
of directors approved a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") covering certain
managerial, administrative and professional employees and outside directors. The
Plan was approved by Stockholders at the 1994 annual meeting. The Plan provides
for awards to employees, from time to time and as determined by a committee of
outside directors, of cash bonuses, stock options, stock and/or restricted
stock. The total number of shares of the Company's common stock available to be
awarded under the Plan is 750 thousand, subject to certain adjustments. In 1995,
options to purchase a total of 290.7 thousand shares of common stock at $4.25 to
$7.00 per share and a total of 50.0 thousand shares of restricted stock were
granted to employees. In June 1994, options to purchase a total of 308.8
thousand shares of common stock at $5.50 per share and a total of 129.4 thousand
shares of restricted common stock were granted to employees and outside
directors.
Stock Appreciation Rights. In connection with the July 1992 sale of the Old
Senior Secured Notes and obtaining the consent of the holders of the Company's
existing Subordinated Notes to modify the Subordinated Notes, the Company issued
658.4 thousand common stock appreciation rights ("1992 SARs"). As of December
31, 1995, there were 624.8 thousand 1992 SARs outstanding. Of the outstanding
1992 SARs, 552.0 thousand may be exercised at the option of the holder thereof
at any time through July 31, 1996, at which time they expire. The remaining 72.8
thousand SARs may be exercised through July 1, 1997, at which time they expire.
The 1992 SARs entitle the holder to receive the market appreciation in the
Company's Common Stock between $11.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and the
average price per share for the 30 consecutive trading days prior to the date of
exercise. At December 31, 1995, there was no reserve requirement necessary
because the Company's Common Stock price was below $11.00 per share.
In connection with the May 1995 issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, the
Company issued 1.0 million stock appreciation rights (the "1995 SARs") entitling
the holders to receive cash or Common Stock, at the option of the Company, in an
amount equal to the average closing sale price of the common stock for 60
trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288 for each 1995 SAR. The
1995 SARs expire on May 15, 2002. At December 31, 1995 there was no reserve
requirement necessary because the Company's Common Stock price was below $7.288
per share.
NOTE K -- RETIREMENT PLANS
Pension Plans
US Plans
The Company maintains four defined benefit pension plans covering certain
domestic employees. The benefits for the plans covering the salaried employees
are based primarily on years of service and employees' qualifying compensation
during the final years of employment. Participation in the plan for salaried
employees was frozen as of May 7, 1993, and no participants will be credited
with service following such date except that participants not fully vested will
be credited with service for purposes of determining vesting only. The benefits
for the plans covering the hourly employees are based primarily on years of
service and a flat dollar amount per year of service. It is the Company's policy
generally to fund these plans based on the minimum requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Plan assets consist primarily of
common stocks, bonds, and short-term cash equivalent funds.
Pension expense includes the following components for 1995, 1994 and 1993:
Year ended December 31,
1995 1994 1993
Service cost for benefits earned during period $ 0.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.4
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 2.2 2.2 2.4
Actual (return) loss on plan assets (3.8) (0.4) (2.1)
Net amortization and deferral 2.0 (1.2) 0.9

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 9% for the periods
presented. The discount rate assumption was 7.5% for 1995, 8.5% for 1994 and
7.0% for 1993. The assumption for the rate of compensation increase, if
applicable per plan provisions, was 5.5% for 1993 (until May 7, 1993).
In accordance with the provisions of the SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions," the Company has recorded an adjustment of $2.7 and $1.8 to recognize
a minimum pension liability at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This
liability is offset by a direct reduction of stockholders' deficit.
In December 1993, Terex contributed 350.0 thousand shares of Terex Common Stock
to the Master Trust for the benefit of two of the Terex plans, which were valued
by the Company at $2.3 based upon 96.5% of the market value of Terex Common
Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange on the day of contribution. The
market value of this investment was $1.7 at December 31, 1995.
In addition, the Master Trust held 6.0 thousand 1992 SARs, valued at $0.10 per
right (total value of less than $0.1) at December 31, 1995 and 6.0 thousand
Terex SARs, valued at $1.00 per right (less than $0.1) at December 31, 1994.
International Plans
TEL maintains a government-required defined benefit plan (which includes certain
defined contribution elements) covering substantially all of its management
employees. This plan is fully funded. Pension expense relating to this plan was
approximately $0.3, $0.3 and $0.2 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively.
Certain of CMH's German employees are covered by noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans. CMH also maintains separate pension benefit plans for certain
German executive employees and for other staff. The executive pension plans are
based on final pay and service, and, in some cases, are dependent on social
security pensions while the other staff plans are based on fixed amounts applied
to the number of years service rendered. The plans are unfunded.
<PAGE>
The components of consolidated pension expense for each of the reporting periods
covered by these financial statements is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
1995 1994 1993
Current service cost $ 0.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.2
Interest cost 0.9 0.9 0.9
Net amortization and deferrals (0.9) (0.8) 0.1
Defined benefit pension expense $ 0.1 $ 0.3 $ 1.2
The following table reconciles the funded status of the Company's defined
benefit pension plans to the amounts recognized on the Company's Consolidated
Balance Sheet:
December 31,
1995 1994
Accumulated benefit obligation,
including nonvested benefits
of $0.2 and $0.2 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994 ..................... $ 12.8 $ 11.1

Unrecognized transition asset (liability) ........ 0.6 (0.7)
Adjustment required to recognize minimum liability -- --
Accrued pension cost ............................. $ 12.9 $ 12.4
The discount rate of 7.5% was used in 1995 and 1994 to determine the projected
benefit obligation. During 1994, the Company significantly reduced its German
work force in connection with restructuring of its operations. As a result, the
Company realized a curtailment gain with respect to these plans, which was
recognized as a reduction of the unrecognized transition liability in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Plans and for Termination of Benefits." In 1994
the Company changed certain assumptions used in the actuarial valuation of the
plans. These changes in assumptions reflected the reductions in personnel and
other changes in the Company's operations, including changes in compensation
arrangements, implemented during 1994. These changes resulted in an actuarial
gain of $2.7. The gain in excess of 10% of the projected benefit obligation is
being amortized over 2 years.
Saving Plans
The Company sponsors various tax deferred savings plans into which eligible
employees may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation. The Company
can, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans.
Other Postemployment Benefits
The Company provides postemployment health and life insurance benefits to
certain former salaried and hourly employees of Koehring. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions," on January 1, 1993. This statement requires accrual of postretirement
benefits (such as health care benefits) during the years an employee provides
service.
<PAGE>
Terex adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 106 using the delayed recognition
method, whereby the amount of the unrecognized transition obligation at January
1, 1993 is recognized prospectively as a component of future years' net periodic
postretirement benefit expense. The unrecognized transition obligation at
January 1, 1993 was $4.5. Terex is amortizing this transition obligation over 12
years, the average remaining life expectancy of the participants. The liability
of the Company, as of December 31, was as follows:
1995 1994
Actuarial present value of accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees ................................ $ 4.4 $ 4.6
Active participants ..................... -- --
Total accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation .................... 4.4 4.6
Unamortized transition obligation ....... (3.4) (3.7)
Liability recognized in the balance sheet $ 1.0 $ 0.9
Health care trend rates used in the actuarial assumptions range from 12.0% to
13.5%. These rates decrease to 6.5% over a period of 8 to 10 years. The effect
of a one percentage-point change in the health care cost trend rates would
change the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation approximately 7%. The
discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation was 7.5% and 8.25% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
Net periodic postretirement benefit expense includes the following components
for 1995 and 1994:
Year Ended December 31,
1995 1994
Service cost ........................... $ --- $ ---
Interest cost .......................... 0.3 0.4
Net amortization ....................... 0.4 0.4
Total .................................. $ 0.7 $ 0.8
The Company's postretirement benefit obligations are not funded. Net periodic
postretirement benefit expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993 was approximately $0.6, $0.5 and $0.4 greater on the accrual basis than it
would have been on the cash basis.
NOTE L -- LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
In December 1992, a Class Action complaint was filed against Fruehauf, the
Company, certain of Fruehauf's then officers and directors and certain of the
underwriters of the initial public offering of Fruehauf, in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern Division,
alleging, among other things, violations of certain provisions of the federal
securities laws, and seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The
Company has settled this litigation, with court approval, and recorded a
provision of $0.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
In the Company's lines of business, but primarily in the Material Handling
Segment, numerous suits have been filed alleging damages for accidents that have
arisen in the normal course of operations involving the Company's products. As
part of the acquisition of CMH, the Company and CMH assumed both the outstanding
and future product liability exposures related to such operations. As of
December 31, 1995, CMH had approximately 120 lawsuits outstanding alleging
damages for injuries or deaths arising from accidents involving CMH products.
Most of the foregoing suits are in various stages of pretrial completion, and
certain plaintiffs are seeking punitive as well as compensatory damages. The
Company is self-insured, up to certain limits, for these product liability
exposures, as well as for certain exposures related to general, workers'
compensation and automobile liability. Insurance coverage is obtained for
catastrophic losses as well as those risks required to be insured by law or
contract. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability, based
in part upon actuarial determinations, in the amount of management's estimate of
the Company's aggregate exposure for such self-insured risks.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings which have arisen in
the normal course of its operations. The Company has recorded provisions for
estimated losses in circumstances where a loss is probable and the amount or
range of possible amounts of the loss is estimable.
The Company is contingently liable as a guarantor for certain customers' floor
plan obligations with financial institutions. As a guarantor, the Company is
obligated to purchase equipment which has been repossessed by the financial
institution based upon the unamortized principal balance outstanding. The
Company records the repossessed inventory at its estimated net realizable value.
Any resultant losses are charged against related reserves. The guarantee under
such floor plans aggregated approximately $30.0 at December 31, 1995. The
Company has recorded reserves based on management's estimates of potential
losses arising from these guarantees. Historically, the Company has incurred
only minimal losses relating to these arrangements.
CMH has also given guarantees to financial institutions relating to capital
loans, residual guarantees and other dealer and customer obligations arising in
the ordinary conduct of its business. Such guarantees approximated $3.8 at
December 31, 1995. Estimated losses, if any, on such guarantees are accrued as a
component of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.
To enhance its marketing effort and ensure continuity of its dealer network, CMH
has also agreed as part of its dealer sales agreements to repurchase certain new
and unused equipment in the event of a dealer termination. Repurchase agreements
included in operating agreements with an independent financial institution have
been patterned after those included in the dealer sales agreements, and provide
for repurchase of inventory in certain circumstances of dealer default on
financing provided by the financial institution to the dealer. Dealer inventory
of approximately $200.0 at December 31, 1995 were covered by those operating
agreements. Under these agreements, when dealer terminations do occur, a newly
selected dealer generally assumes the assets of the prior dealer and any related
financial obligations.
Historically, CMH has incurred only minimal losses relating to these
arrangements.
The Company's outstanding letters of credit totaled $7.7. The letters of credit
generally serve as collateral for certain liabilities included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Certain of the letters of credit serve as collateral
guaranteeing the Company's performance under contracts.
As described in Note H -- "Income Taxes," the Internal Revenue Service is
currently examining the Company's federal tax returns for the years 1987 through
1989.
The Company has agreed to indemnify certain outside parties for losses related
to Fruehauf's worker compensation obligations. Some of the claims for which
Terex is contingently obligated are also covered by bonds issued by an insurance
company. In 1993, the Company recorded liabilities for these contingent
obligations representing management's estimate of the maximum potential losses
which the Company might incur.
NOTE M -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On August 28, 1995, the Company announced that its Chairman, Randolph W. Lenz,
had retired from his position with the Company and its Board of Directors. In
connection with his retirement, the Company (upon the recommendation of a
committee comprised of its independent Directors and represented by independent
counsel) and Mr. Lenz have executed a retirement agreement providing certain
benefits to Mr. Lenz and the Company. The agreement provides, among other
things, for a five-year consulting engagement requiring Mr. Lenz to make himself
available to the Company to provide consulting services for certain portions of
his time. Mr. Lenz, or his designee, will receive a fee for consulting services
which will include payments in an amount, and a rate, equal to his 1995 base
salary until December 31, 1996. The agreement also provides for the granting of
a five-year $1.8 million loan bearing interest at 6.56% per annum which is
subject to being forgiven in increments over the five-year term of the agreement
upon certain conditions and equity grants having a maximum potential of 200.0
thousand shares of Terex common stock conditioned upon the Company achieving
certain financial performance objectives in the future. In contemplation of the
execution of this retirement agreement, the Company advanced to Mr. Lenz the
principal amount of the forgivable loan. Mr. Lenz has also agreed not to compete
with the Company, to vote his Terex shares in the manner recommended by the
Company's Board of Directors, not to acquire any additional shares of the
Company's common stock, and, except under certain circumstances, not to sell his
shares of common stock. In addition to indebtedness pursuant to the retirement
agreement, an affiliate of Mr. Lenz is indebted to the Company in the
approximate amount of $33.45 thousand representing shipping charges incurred by
the Company for such affiliate during 1994. The affiliate of Mr. Lenz has not
paid such charges to date.
Under a contract dated July 1, 1987, as amended, KCS Industries, L.P., a
Connecticut limited partnership ("KCS"), principally owned by Mr. Lenz provided
administrative, financial, marketing, technical, real estate and legal services
to the Company and its subsidiaries. For the services of KCS, the Company paid
KCS an annual fee plus the reimbursement for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by KCS in fulfilling the contract. During 1993 the Company made payments to KCS
of $2.9.
During 1993, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that it would be in
the Company's best interest to terminate the Company's contract with KCS and
integrate the management services of KCS directly into the Company. Pursuant to
an agreement between the Company and KCS, the contract between the Company and
KCS was terminated as of the close of business on December 31, 1993. Certain
employees of KCS, became salaried employees of the Company effective January 1,
1994, with the titles of Executive Vice President and Senior Vice President,
respectively. In consideration of the termination of the contract, the Company
issued 89.8 thousand shares of the Company's Series B Cumulative Redeemable
Convertible Preferred Stock (valued at $0.9) and 106.95 thousand Series B
Warrants (valued at $0.7), the terms of which are substantially similar to the
terms of the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series A
Warrants, respectively. Of such amounts, Mr. Lenz received 38.8 thousand shares
of preferred stock and warrants exercisable for 15.7 thousand shares of Terex
Common Stock and other KCS employees each received 25.5 thousand shares of
preferred stock and warrants exercisable for 45.6 thousand shares of Terex
Common Stock. The employees converted their shares and warrants to Common Stock
in 1995. In addition, Mr. Lenz received cash payments of approximately $0.5.
The Company, certain directors and executives of the Company, and KCS have been
named parties in various legal proceedings. During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the
Company incurred $0.3, $0.3 and $0.4 of legal fees and expenses on behalf of the
Company, directors and executives of the Company, and KCS named in the lawsuits.
In conjunction with the CMH Acquisition, the Company financed the acquisition
and refinanced a major component of its previously outstanding bank debt through
a private placement of Secured Notes and 1992 SARs, and the establishment of the
Bank Lending Agreement. A director of the Company was at the time an employee
and officer of Jefferies & Company, Inc. ("Jefferies"), the investment banking
firm which acted as an exclusive placement agent for the Company in the offering
of the Old Senior Secured Notes and 1992 SARs. Jefferies was paid fees of $6.5
in 1992 for services performed as placement agent. Jefferies was also the
Company's placement agent for the December 1993 sale of the Series A Preferred
Stock and Series A Warrants for which Jefferies received fees totalling $2.5 in
1993. Jefferies was also the agent for the Company for certain sales by the
Company of its common stock of Fruehauf in 1993. Jefferies purchased 250.0
thousand Series A Warrants and 180.0 thousand shares of Series A Preferred Stock
from the Company in connection with the Company's private placement on December
20, 1993.
In 1995, the Company retained Jefferies & Company, Inc., of which a director of
the Company was then Executive Vice President, in connection with the offering
of the Company's $250 million Senior Secured Notes and acquisition of PPM which
was completed in May 1995. Jefferies & Company, Inc. was paid $9.2 as an
underwriting discount and for services rendered.
A director of the Company was affiliated with the Airlie Group L.P. ("Airlie"),
a limited partnership which owned approximately 9% of the Company's Common Stock
(including Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock)
and 40 thousand Warrants. Until May 1994, this director was an employee of the
investment firm of TMT-FW, Inc. which is one of two general partners of the
general partner of Airlie. During the time the director was affiliated with
Airlie, Airlie received all director fees to which the director was entitled by
reason of his service as a director of the Company. On December 20, 1993, Airlie
purchased 40 thousand Warrants and 40 thousand shares of Series A Preferred
Stock from the Company as part of the Company's private placement.
The Company requires that all transactions with affiliates be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained in comparable transactions with
an unrelated person. The Board is advised in advance of any such proposed
transaction or agreement and utilizes such procedures in evaluating their terms
and provisions as are appropriate in light of the Board's fiduciary duties under
Delaware law. In addition, the Company has an Audit Committee consisting solely
of outside directors. One of the responsibilities of the Audit Committee is to
review related party transactions.

NOTE O -- LIQUIDITY, FINANCING AND SEVERANCE ACTIONS
The Company's businesses are working capital intensive and require funding for
purchases of production and replacement parts inventories, capital expenditures
for repair, replacement and upgrading of existing facilities as well as
financing of receivables from customers and dealers. The Company has significant
debt service requirements including semi-annual interest payments on senior debt
and monthly interest payments on its credit facility. Debt reduction and an
improved capital structure are major focal points for the Company. In this
regard, the Company reviews on a regular basis its alternatives to improve its
capital structure and to reduce debt through debt refinancings, issuance of
equity, asset sales, the sales of business units or any combination thereof.
Net cash of $21.9 was used in operating activities during the year ended
December 31, 1995. Net cash used by investing activities was $98.9 during the
year ended December 31, 1995 principally due to the PPM Acquisition as described
below. Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December
31, 1995 was $120.1, primarily from the Refinancing discussed below. Cash and
cash equivalents totaled $7.8 at December 31, 1995.
The Company announced personnel reductions totaling approximately 134 employees
in the Material Handling Segment's North American operations during the second
quarter of 1995 as a continuation of the Company's programs to increase
manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs and improve liquidity. The Company
recorded a combined charge of $3.5 in the second quarter of 1995 for severance
costs associated with these actions and additional costs associated with the
closing of certain administrative and warehouse facilities.
As discussed below, the Company has refinanced its senior and subordinated debt,
established new credit facilities and borrowed additional funds to complete the
PPM Acquisition which will impact future operating results, sources of liquidity
and debt service requirements.
On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the Refinancing and the PPM Acquisition.
The Refinancing included the private placement to institutional investors of
$250 of the Senior Secured Notes, repayment of the Company's Old Senior Secured
Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, totaling approximately $152.6 principal
amount, and entry into the Credit Facility to replace the Company's existing
Lending Facility in the U.S. Until such time as the Company completes an
exchange of the Senior Secured Notes for an equivalent issue of registered
notes, or a shelf registration statement for the Senior Secured Notes is
effective, the interest rate on the Senior Secured Notes will be 13.75%. The
Indenture for the Senior Secured Notes places certain limits on the Company's
ability to incur additional indebtedness; permit the existence of liens; issue,
pay dividends on or redeem equity securities; utilize the proceeds of assets
sales; consolidate, merge or transfer assets to another entity; and enter into
transactions with affiliates. In connection with the issuance of the Senior
Secured Notes, the Company issued 1.0 million stock appreciation rights ("SARs")
entitling the holders to receive cash or Common Stock, at the option of the
Company, in an amount equal to the average closing sale price of the common
stock for 60 trading days prior to the date of exercise less $7.288 for each
SAR.
Approximately $92.6 of the proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes was used for the
PPM Acquisition, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PPM required
to be repaid in connection with the acquisition. In addition, the Company
estimates that the acquisition costs incurred will total approximately $5.0. The
remainder of the purchase price consisted of the issuance of redeemable
preferred stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation preference of
127 French francs (approximately $26.1), subject to adjustment. The purchase
price is subject to adjustment calculated by reference to the consolidated net
asset value of PPM as determined by an audit as of the date of closing. The
preferred stock does not bear a dividend and, accordingly, the Company has
valued this stock at approximately $8.8 (discounted at 15%). The Company has not
yet reached agreement with the sellers about the amount of purchase price
adjustment but, based on work performed, the Company believes that the amount of
the preferred stock could ultimately be reduced.
The Company's Credit Facility provides the Company with the ability to borrow
(in the form of revolving loans and up to $15 in outstanding letters of credit)
up to $100. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's
domestic receivables and inventory (including PPM). The amount of borrowings is
limited to the sum of the following: (i) 75% of the net amount of eligible
receivables, as defined, of the Company's U.S. businesses other than CMHC, plus
(ii) 70% of the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus (iii) the lesser
of 45% of the value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised
orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory less (iv) any availability
reserves established by the lenders. The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998
unless extended by the lenders for one additional year. At the option of the
Company, revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans initially
bearing interest at the rate of 1.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and
Eurodollar rate loans initially bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum
in excess of the adjusted Eurodollar rate.
The Company made an interest payment of $17.7 on November 15, 1995 on the Senior
Secured Notes. The Company's debt service obligations for 1996 include
approximately $17.1 on May 15 and November 15, 1996 on the Senior Secured Notes
and approximately $0.6 monthly on the Credit Facility. Management believes that,
absent significant unanticipated declines in operating performance, cash
generated from operations and the Refinancing provide the Company with adequate
liquidity to meet the Company's operating and debt service requirements. The
balance outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 1995 was $66.8,
and the additional amount the Company could have borrowed was $8.8 as of that
date. As of March 20, 1996, the amount available to the Company under the Credit
Facility was approximately $13.0. TEL entered into a new bank working capital
facility in 1995, and PPM Europe is in negotiations to secure a working capital
facility in 1996. Management intends to seek additional working capital
financing facilities for the Company's international operations to provide
additional liquidity worldwide.

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
Basis of Presentation
As more fully described in Note 13, Terex Corporation ("Terex"), through its
wholly owned subsidiary Terex Cranes, Inc. ("Terex Cranes"), completed the
acquisition of substantially all of the common stock of PPM S.A. ("PPM Europe")
and Legris Industries, Inc. ("PPM North America") on May 9, 1995. PPM North
America together with PPM Europe collectively are referred to as "PPM" or "the
Company". Prior to the acquisition, Legris Industries, Inc. was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Groupe Legris Industries S.A., a French corporation, and PPM S.A.
was owned 99.13% by Potain S.A., a majority owned subsidiary of Groupe Legris
Industries S.A. ("Groupe Legris").
The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared on the basis of
generally accepted accounting principles and include the combined financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the businesses of PPM as
follows below (subsidiaries are 100% owned except as indicated). All significant
intercompany balances have been eliminated.
PPM S.A.
Brimont Agraire S.A.
Bendini SpA
PPM Krane GmbH
Baulift Baumaschiunen and Krane Handels GmbH
Legris Industries, Inc.
Potain Tower Cranes, Inc. (inactive)
PPM Cranes, Inc. (92.4%)
PPM of Australia Pty. Ltd. (92.4%)
PPM Far East Pte. Ltd. (92.4%)
Description of Business
PPM designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers
primarily in North America and Western Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H
(trademark of Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand and overnight investments. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $512
at December 31, 1994 invested under repurchase agreements collateralized by U.
S. Treasury Notes. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements
are held by the Company's custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase
agreements. Provisions of the agreements ensure that the market value of this
collateral is sufficient in the event of default; however, in the event of
default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business and performs
ongoing credit evaluation on certain of its customers' financial condition, but
generally does not require collateral to support such receivable. Accounts
receivable potentially exposes the Company to concentration of credit risk,
because the Company's customers operate primarily in the construction industry.
The Company also establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and
other information.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for inventories held in the United States, by
the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for inventories of PPM of Australia Pty.
Ltd and PPM Far East Pte. Ltd., and by the weighted average method for
inventories of PPM S.A.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Additions and major replacements or improvements to property, plant and
equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are
charged to expense when incurred. Assets of PPM are depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
Intangible Assets
The excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired
("goodwill") is amortized on the straight-line method over a period of twenty
years for Legris Industries, Inc. and fifteen years for PPM S.A. Other
identified intangibles are primarily patents and organizational costs which are
amortized over five years. The lives established for these assets are a
composite of many factors; accordingly, the Company evaluates the continued
appropriateness of these lives based upon the latest available economic factors
and circumstances.
The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed if the facts and circumstances
suggest that it may be impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not
be recoverable, as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity
acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of
the goodwill is reduced by the estimated shortfall of cash flows.
Product Warranty
PPM warrants that each finished machine is merchantable and free of defects in
workmanship and material for a period of up to one year or a specified period of
use. Warranty reserves have been established for estimated normal warranty costs
and for specific problems known to exist on products in use.
Product Liability
Reserves for product liability have been established based upon historical loss
experience for the estimated liability on incidents which have occurred but have
not yet been reported and for the estimated liability for reported incidents.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Under FAS 109, the deferred tax liabilities and assets are
determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets
and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. A valuation
allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of a deferred tax asset will not be ultimately realized.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recorded upon shipment or designation of specific goods for later
shipment at customers' request with related risk of ownership passing to such
customers.
Research and Development Costs
Company sponsored research and development costs related to both present and
future products are expensed currently. Total expenditures for research and
development for 1994, 1993 and 1992 were $2,669, $3,751 and $3,440,
respectively.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
The local currencies of the Company's foreign operations have been determined to
be the functional currencies in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". Transactions in
foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at average rates of
exchange prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated at the year end exchange rates and resulting
translation adjustments are included as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized in
earnings.
Shareholders' Equity
No amounts were paid as consideration for the issuance of common stock of
PPM S.A. and Legris Industries, Inc. Accordingly, no amounts have been assigned
to common stock in the financial statements.
3. Inventories
Inventories at December 31, 1994 and 1993 consist of the following:
1994 1993
Raw materials and parts ........ $41,018 $37,767
Work in process ................ 15,139 11,275
Finished goods and subassemblies 13,091 14,103
Consigned inventory ............ 772 353
------- -------
$70,020 $63,498
======= =======
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, approximately $26,308 and $24,618 of inventories
were valued using the LIFO method. These amounts are approximately equivalent to
the corresponding FIFO values at December 31, 1994 and 1993.

6. Employee Benefit Plan
Domestically, PPM Cranes, Inc. has a defined contribution plan covering its U.S.
employees. Under this plan, the Company matches a portion of an employee's
contribution to the plan. PPM Europe also maintains government required fully
funded retirement plans for its employees in France and Italy. For purposes of
these financial statements, all domestic and PPM Europe employees are considered
to have participated in a multi-employer pension plan as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 "Employer's Accounting for Pensions". For
multi-employer plans, employers are required to recognize as net pension expense
total contributions for the period. With respect to these plans, PPM recorded a
net pension expense of $289 for 1994, $118 for 1993 and $82 for 1992.
7. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". The adoption had no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
(Loss) income before income taxes and minority interest consisted of the
following:
1994 1993 1992

PPM has not provided U.S. and foreign income taxes on foreign undistributed
earnings which are being retained indefinitely for reinvestment. The
distribution of these earnings would result in additional foreign withholding
taxes and additional U.S. Federal income taxes to the extent they are not offset
by foreign tax credits, but it is not practicable to estimate the total tax
liability that would be incurred upon such a distribution.

Income tax (benefit) provision .... $ (14) $ 30 $ 917
======= ======= =======
At December 31, 1994, PPM North America has net operating loss carryforwards for
Federal income tax purposes of approximately $50,550 available to offset future
taxable income, expiring from 1997 to 2008 if not used. PPM Europe has loss
carryforwards of approximately $21,665 at December 31, 1994, including
approximately $11,023 of carryforwards which have no fixed expiration date. The
remaining carryforwards will expire beginning in 1995.
The differences between the loss carryforwards for financial reporting and
income tax purposes result principally from differences between the income tax
basis and the financial reporting basis allocated to the net assets acquired and
differences in the methods of depreciating property, plant, and equipment. For
financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance equal to the entire benefit
of the cumulative temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards has
been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets. For substantially all of
the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, subsequently recognized tax
benefits will be allocated to reduce goodwill resulting from the acquisition of
PPM by Terex. Components of the Company's deferred taxes are as follows:
1994 1993
Total deferred tax liabilities ..................... $ (3,030) $ (1,113)
Total deferred tax assets, principally net operating
loss carryforwards ............................. 43,454 36,179

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has estimated the fair value amounts of financial instruments as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", using available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and
long-term debt are reasonable estimates of their fair value at December 31,
1994. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to
develop the carrying amounts of fair value. Accordingly, the carrying amounts
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company
would realize in a current market exchange.
9. Leases
PPM has various lease agreements, primarily related to office space, production
facilities, and office equipment, which are accounted for as operating leases.
Certain leases have renewal options and provisions requiring PPM to pay
maintenance, property taxes and insurance. Rent expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992
was $2,977, $2,433 and $3,401, respectively.
PPM Europe also leases buildings and machinery and equipment under capital
leases with terms of 1 to 10 years. Capitalized lease obligations are calculated
using interest rates appropriate at the inception of the lease. Amortization of
assets under capital leases is included with depreciation expense. Property,
plant and equipment includes the following amounts for leases that have been
capitalized:
1994 1993
Buildings ........................ $ 1,810 $ 1,642
Machinery and equipment .......... 5,124 3,700

10. Commitments and Contingencies
PPM is involved in product liability and other lawsuits incident to the
operation of its business. Insurance coverages are maintained for claims and
lawsuits of this nature. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had a
reserve of $4,850 and $4,432 related to product liability matters, including
$200 at December 31, 1994 related to unasserted claims. Actual costs to be
incurred in the future may vary from the estimates, given the inherent
uncertainties in evaluating the outcome of claims and lawsuits of this nature.
Although it is difficult to estimate the liability of the Company related to
these matters, it is management's opinion that none of these lawsuits will have
a materially adverse effect on the Company's combined financial position.
PPM North America is a defendant in a lawsuit initiated by the bankruptcy
trustee for Century II GmbH, a former subsidiary of the Company, related to an
increase in capital. The amount of the claim is for $6,000. Groupe Legris has
indemnified the Company against all losses related to this claim.
PPM is contingently liable up to $1,027 with respect to financing arrangements
and performance guarantees entered into with banks and between certain banks and
certain dealers or customers of PPM.
11. Segment and Geographic Information
The Company operates in one business segment, designing, manufacturing and
marketing mobile cranes and container stackers primarily in North America and
Western Europe. Geographic data for the Company's operations are presented in
the following table. Intercompany sales and expenses are eliminated in
determining results for each operation.

13. Subsequent Events -- Acquisition by Terex and Financing Arrangements
(unaudited)
On May 9, 1995, Terex, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Terex Cranes,
completed the acquisition of 99.18% of the shares of PPM S.A., a societe anonyme
("PPM Europe"), from Potain S.A., a societe anonyme, and 100% of the capital
stock of Legris Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation which owns 92.4% of the
capital stock of PPM Cranes, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PPM North America")
from Legris Industries S.A., a societe anonyme ("Legris France"). PPM North
America together with PPM Europe collectively are referred to as "PPM". PPM
designs, manufactures and markets mobile cranes and container stackers primarily
in North America and Western Europe under the brand names of PPM, P&H (trademark
of Harnischfeger Corporation) and BENDINI.
The purchase price, together with amounts needed to repay indebtedness of PPM
required to be repaid in connection with the Acquisition, consisted of (i)
approximately $92.6 million in cash and (ii) shares of Series A Redeemable
Exchangeable Preferred Stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation
preference of approximately $25.9 million, subject to adjustment (the "Seller
Preferred Stock"). The Seller Preferred Stock bears no dividend and is
mandatorily redeemable in seven years and three months from the date of
issuance. The Seller Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time for cash (to
the extent permitted pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture for Terex's 13
1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2002) or, under certain circumstances for shares
of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Cranes Common Stock"), of Terex
Cranes. The purchase price is subject to adjustment calculated by reference to
the consolidated net asset value of PPM as determined by an audit to be
conducted following the consummation of the Acquisition. Terex Cranes has not
yet reached agreement with the sellers about the amount of purchase price
adjustment but, based on work performed, Terex Cranes believes that the amount
of the Seller Preferred Stock could ultimately be reduced. In addition, the
liquidation preference and the redemption price of the Seller Preferred Stock
may be adjusted based upon the unit shipments of the mobile crane industry in
Western Europe during the second and third years following the consummation of
the Acquisition.
The funds for the cash portion of the purchase price and the repayment of debt
of the acquired businesses were obtained from the private placement on May 9,
1995 to institutional investors of units consisting of Terex's 13 1/4% Senior
Secured Notes due 2002 and common stock appreciation rights. The Senior Secured
Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of Terex and its domestic
subsidiaries, including PPM North America, subject to security interests granted
under the Credit Facility as described below, and by liens on certain assets of
certain of Terex's foreign subsidiaries, including PPM Europe.

13. Subsequent Events -- Acquisition by Terex and Financing Arrangements
(unaudited) (continued)
Simultaneously with the acquisition, Terex, PPM North America and certain other
domestic subsidiaries of Terex entered into a Credit Facility which provides
that the companies will be able to borrow (in the form of revolving loans and up
to $15 million in outstanding letters of credit) up to $100 million, subject to
borrowing base limitations. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all
of the companies domestic receivables and inventory (including PPM North
America). The amount of borrowings is limited to the sum of the following: (i)
75% of the net amount of eligible receivables, as defined, of Terex's U.S.
businesses other than Clark Material Handling Company ("CMHC") plus (ii) 70% of
the net amount of CMHC eligible receivables, plus (iii) the lesser of 45% of the
value of eligible inventory, as defined, or 80% of the appraised orderly
liquidation value of eligible inventory, less (iv) any availability reserves
established by the lenders. The Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998 unless
extended by the lenders for one additional year. At the option of Terex,
revolving loans may be in the form of prime rate loans bearing interest at the
rate of l.75% per annum in excess of the prime rate and Eurodollar rate loans
bearing interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum in excess of the adjusted
Eurodollar rate.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
of the Company gives effect to the PPM Acquisition and the Refinancing as
described elsewhere in this Prospectus. The pro forma information is based on
the historical statements of operations of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995, giving effect to the PPM Acquisition and related financing
transactions and adjustments as reflected in the accompanying notes.
On May 9, 1995, the Company completed the PPM Acquisition. The purchase price,
together with amounts needed to repay indebtedness of PPM required to be repaid
in connection with the PPM Acquisition, consisted of (i) approximately $92.6
million in cash and (ii) shares of Series A Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred
Stock of Terex Cranes having an aggregate liquidation preference of
approximately $26.1 million, subject to adjustment calculated by reference to
the consolidated net asset value of PPM on the closing date of the PPM
Acquisition. A private placement of $250 million of the Company's 13.25% Senior
Secured Notes due 2002 provided the financing for the cash portion of the
purchase price. Proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes and of a new domestic
Credit Facility also provided funds for the refinancing of certain existing
Company debt (the "Refinancing"), for transaction and acquisition costs and for
working capital purposes.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method, with the purchase
price of the PPM Acquisition allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based upon their respective estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. The pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the
Company's initial estimates of the purchase price allocation.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is not necessarily
indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have
been for the period indicated, nor does it purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1) The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is
presented for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995. The pro forma
statements of operations reflect the consolidated operations of the Company
combined with those of the acquired business assuming the PPM Acquisition and
the Refinancing were consummated on January 1, 1994.
2) The pro forma statement of operations adjustments are summarized as follows:
a) Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Cost of goods sold" represent
the elimination of goodwill amortization of the business acquired and
the amortization of goodwill resulting from the PPM Acquisition over 15
years.
b) Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Interest expense" represent
the elimination of interest expense relating to debt repaid in
connection with the PPM Acquisition or forgiven by the seller.
c) Pro forma acquisition adjustments to "Preferred stock accretion"
represent accretion on Terex Cranes redeemable preferred stock issued
in the PPM Acquisition, assuming issuance as of January 1, 1994.
d) The Refinancing provided the funds to finance the PPM Acquisition,
as well as funds to refinance certain existing Company debt and pay
refinancing and acquisition costs. The new Senior Secured Notes bear
interest at 13.25% and are due May 15, 2002. The Credit Facility loans
bear interest at 1.75% in excess of the prime rate or at 3.75% in
excess of the adjusted eurodollar rate, at the Company's option
(interest rate of 11%, including fees, assumed for pro forma
presentation); the Credit Facility expires May 9, 1998. The pro forma
adjustments to "Interest expense" and "Amortization of debt issuance
costs" represent the incremental effects of the Refinancing:
- The Company's old 13% senior secured notes and 13.5% senior
subordinated notes are assumed to be repaid as of January 1, 1994,
and the interest expense and related amortization of discount and
issuance costs is eliminated. - The 13.25% new Senior Secured
Notes are assumed to be issued and registered as of January 1,
1994 and interest expense and related amortization of discount and
issuance costs is included. - The incremental amount borrowed
under the Credit Facility at the time of the Refinancing is
assumed to be outstanding from January 1, 1994 and interest is
included thereon.
3) A pro forma condensed balance sheet is not presented herein because the PPM
Acquisition is reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 1995. The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired
in the PPM Acquisition are summarized as follows (in millions):
Cash ......................................... $ 1.0
Accounts receivable .......................... 33.8
Inventories .................................. 69.1
Other current assets ......................... 11.9
Property, plant and equipment ................ 20.5

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") and Article IX of
the Company's By-laws provide for the indemnification of the Company's directors
and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
Article IX of the Company's Restated By-laws generally requires the Company to
indemnify its directors and officers against all liabilities (including
judgments, settlements, fines and penalties) and reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any type of
action, whether instituted by a third party or a stockholder (either directly or
derivatively) and including specifically, but without limitation, actions
brought under the Securities Act and/or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"); provided that no such indemnification will be
allowed if such director or officer was not successful in defending against any
such action and it is determined that the director or officer engaged in
misconduct which constitutes (i) a willful breach of his or her "duty of
loyalty" (as further defined therein) to the Company or its stockholders; (ii)
acts or omissions not in "good faith" (as further defined therein) or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) the payment
of an illegal dividend or the authorization of an unlawful stock repurchase in
violation of Delaware law; or (iv) a transaction from which the executive
derived a material improper personal financial profit.
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a
provision which eliminates the personal liability of a director to the Company
and its stockholders for certain breaches of his or her fiduciary duty of care
as a director. This provision does not, however, eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director's duty of loyalty to
the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
the Delaware statutory provision making directors personally liable, under a
negligence standard, for unlawful dividends of unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit. This provision offers persons who serve on the Board
of Directors of the Company protection against awards of monetary damages
resulting from negligent (except as indicated above) and "grossly" negligent
actions taken in the performance of their duty of care, including grossly
negligent business decisions made in connection with takeover proposals for the
Company. As a result of this provision, the ability of the Company or a
stockholder thereof to successfully prosecute an action against a director for a
breach of his duty of care has been limited. However, the provision does not
affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or
rescission based upon a director's breach of his duty of care. The Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") has taken the position that the
provision will have no effect on claims arising under the Federal securities
laws.
The Company maintains a directors' and officers' insurance policy which insures
the officers and directors of the Company from any claim arising out of an
alleged wrongful act by such persons in their respective capacities as officers
and directors of the Company.
Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On December 20, 1993, the Company completed the private placement of (i)
1,300,000 common stock purchase warrants and (ii) the 1,200,000 shares of

Act.

Item 17. Undertakings
The Company hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any
prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) to
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Terex Corporation Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 33-52297)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), of Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), of (i) 1,264,756 Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the
Company (the "Warrants") and (ii) the issuance of the Company's common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), to persons who acquire the
Warrants after the date of the Prospectus (defined below) upon their exercise of
the Warrants, and resale of up to 1,300,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares;" and the Warrant Shares and the
Warrants collectively referred to herein as the "Securities").
We are familiar with the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws
of the Company and have examined copies of the Plan, the resolutions adopted by
the Company's Board of Directors and actions by the Company's stockholders
pertaining to the Plan, and originals or copies, certified or otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such other documents, evidence of corporate
action, certificates and other instruments, and have made such other
investigations of law and fact, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for
the purposes of this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
(i) the Securities have been duly and validly authorized; (ii) the Preferred
Stock has been duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable and
(iii) the Warrant Shares, when issued upon conversion in accordance with the
terms of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration Statement. In
giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we come within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
