SALE OF MHPS BUSINESS

On May 16, 2016, Terex agreed to sell its MHPS business to Konecranes Plc, a Finnish public company limited by shares (“Konecranes”) by entering into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “SAPA”), with Konecranes. As a result, the Company and Konecranes terminated the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “BCA”) announced on August 11, 2015, with no penalties incurred by either party. On January 4, 2017, the Company completed the disposition of its MHPS business to Konecranes (the “Disposition”), pursuant to the SAPA, effective as of January 1, 2017. In connection with the Disposition, the Company received 19.6 million newly issued Class B shares of Konecranes and approximately $835 million in cash after adjustments for estimated cash, debt and net working capital at closing and the divestiture of Konecranes’ Stahl Crane Systems business (“Stahl”), which was undertaken by Konecranes in connection with the Disposition. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on the Disposition (net of tax) of $65.7 million.

The Company and Konecranes entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2017, which provided certain customary restrictions and obligations. Terex also had customary registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement between Terex and Konecranes entered into on January 4, 2017.

The Company sold all shares received in connection with the Disposition for net proceeds of approximately $770 million and recorded a $42.0 million net gain on the sale of shares which included $41.6 million attributable to foreign exchange rate changes during the year ended December 31, 2017. The net gain on these sales is recorded as a component of Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

On March 23, 2017, Konecranes declared a dividend of €1.05 per share to holders of record as of March 27, 2017, which was paid on April 4, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized dividend income of $13.5 million as a component of Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

In connection with the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into certain ancillary agreements, including Transition Services Agreements (“TSA’s”) generally with terms from three to twelve months, dated as of January 4, 2017, under which the parties provide one another certain transition services to facilitate both the separation of the MHPS business from the businesses retained by the Company and the interim operations of the MHPS business acquired by Konecranes. Cash inflows and outflows related to these TSA’s generally offset to immaterial amounts. At December 31, 2017, seven TSA’s remain, five of which will expire in the first quarter of 2018. The two remaining TSA’s relate to certain transition services that the Company will provide to Konecranes on an as-needed basis which will be billed as services are provided.

Loss Contract

Related to the Disposition, the Company and Konecranes entered into an agreement for Konecranes to manufacture certain crane products on behalf of the Company for an original period of 12 months, which was subsequently amended for a total of 36 months. The Company recorded an expense of $7.9 million related to losses expected to be incurred over the agreement’s life during the year ended December 31, 2017.

SAPA and BCA Related Expenses

Terex incurred transaction costs directly related to the SAPA of $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which amounts are recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations - net of tax in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

The Company incurred transaction costs directly related to the BCA of $14.0 million and $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is recorded in Other income (expense) - net in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
