         The presentation and webcast contain forward-looking information based
on Terex's current expectations. Because forward-looking statements involve
risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially. Such risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond Terex's control, include among others:
Terex's business is highly cyclical and weak general economic conditions may
affect the sales of its products and its financial results; the sensitivity of
construction, infrastructure and mining activity and products produced for the
military to interest rates and government spending; the ability to successfully
integrate acquired businesses; the retention of key management personnel;
Terex's businesses are very competitive and may be affected by pricing, product
initiatives and other actions taken by competitors; the effects of changes in
laws and regulations; Terex's business is international in nature and is subject
to changes in exchange rates between currencies, as well as international
politics; Terex's continued access to capital and ability to obtain parts and
components from suppliers on a timely basis at competitive prices; the financial
condition of suppliers and customers, and their continued access to capital;
Terex's ability to timely manufacture and deliver products to customers; Terex's
significant amount of debt and its need to comply with restrictive covenants
contained in Terex's debt agreements; Terex's ability to file its periodic
reports with the SEC on a timely basis; the previously announced SEC
investigation of Terex; Terex's ability to ensure that all intercompany
transactions will be properly recorded; compliance with applicable environmental
laws and regulations; and other factors, risks and uncertainties more
specifically set forth in Terex's public filings with the SEC. In addition,
until the previously announced review by Terex of its accounts is concluded, no
assurance can be given with respect to the financial statement adjustments,
impacts and periods resulting from such review, nor can there be assurance that
additional adjustments to the financial statements will not be identified.
Actual events or the actual future results of Terex may differ materially from
any forward looking statement due to those and other risks, uncertainties and
significant factors. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of
the presentation and webcast. Terex expressly disclaims any obligation or
undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statement included in this presentation and webcast to reflect any changes in
Terex's expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions,
or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
