Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Merger Agreement

On October 29, 2025, Terex Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Terex” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with REV Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“REV Group”), Tag Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Terex (“Merger Sub 1”), and Tag Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Terex (“Merger Sub 2”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (1) Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into REV Group (the “First Merger”), with REV Group continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger (the time the First Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”) and (2) immediately following the First Merger, REV Group will be merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving company in the Second Merger as a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of Terex. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of REV Group (“REV Group Common Stock”) (other than certain excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.9809 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Terex (“Terex Common Stock”), and (ii) $8.71 in cash (without interest) (clauses (i) and (ii) together, the “Merger Consideration”), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

Under the Merger Agreement, each REV Group restricted stock award (a “REV Group Restricted Share Award”) will be converted into (i) a Terex restricted share award (a “Terex Restricted Share Award”), relating to a number of shares of Terex Common Stock, equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of REV Group Common Stock subject to the REV Group Restricted Share Award, multiplied by (b) 0.9809, and (ii) an amount in restricted cash equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of REV Group Common Stock subject to the REV Group Restricted Share Award, multiplied by (b) $8.71 (the “RSA Restricted Cash Payment”). Each Terex Restricted Share Award and RSA Restricted Cash Payment will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding REV Group Restricted Share Award.

The Merger Agreement provides that each REV Group restricted share unit award (a “REV Group RSU Award”) will be converted into (i) a Terex restricted share unit award (a “Terex RSU Award”), relating to a number of shares of Terex Common Stock, equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of REV Group Common Stock (assuming forecasted level of performance is achieved for any REV Group RSU Award subject to performance vesting conditions), multiplied by (b) the “award exchange ratio” (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (ii) an amount in restricted cash equal the amount of any dividend equivalents that are accrued, but unpaid, with respect to the REV Group RSU Award (the “RSU Restricted Cash Payment”). Each Terex RSU Award and RSU Restricted Cash Payment will generally be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the corresponding REV Group RSU Award, except that the Terex RSU Award and the RSU Restricted Cash Payment will not be subject to performance-vesting conditions.

The completion of the Mergers is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain customary mutual closing conditions, including (1) the receipt of the required approvals from each of Terex and REV Group stockholders, (2) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), (3) the absence of any governmental order or law that prohibits the consummation of the Mergers, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Terex pursuant to which the shares of Terex Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration are to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (5) the authorization for listing of shares of Terex Common Stock to be issued as Merger Consideration on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The obligation of each party to consummate the Mergers is also conditioned upon (1) the other party’s representations and warranties being true and correct (subject to certain materiality exceptions), (2) the absence of a material adverse effect on the other party, (3) the other party having performed and complied in all material respects with its covenants, obligations, and agreements under the Merger Agreement, (4) the receipt of an officer’s certificate from the other party confirming that the foregoing conditions in clauses (1)-(3) have been satisfied, and (5) each party’s receipt of a customary tax opinion relating to the Mergers.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of Terex and REV Group relating to their respective businesses, financial statements, and public filings, in each case generally subject to customary materiality qualifiers. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants for each party including, subject to certain exceptions, covenants to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent. Terex and REV Group also agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers to be consummated, including to obtain expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and to obtain other specified approvals, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement provides that, during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, each of Terex and REV Group will be subject to certain restrictions on their respective abilities to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties, to provide non-public information to third parties, and to engage in discussions with third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for each of Terex and REV Group, including, among others, if the consummation of the First Merger does not occur on or before April 29, 2026 (subject to two potential extensions to July 29, 2026 and October 29, 2026 if the required regulatory waiting periods have not expired or required regulatory approvals have not been received but all other conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at closing)). Additionally, the Merger Agreement permits either party, subject to compliance with certain requirements and payment of a termination fee (described below), to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior alternative acquisition proposal.

Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including, among others, the (1) termination by either party to enter into a written definitive agreement for a superior alternative acquisition proposal, (2) termination by either party in the event of a change of recommendation by the board of directors of the other party, or (3) termination by either party for enumerated reasons, followed by entry into a definitive agreement for an alternative proposal within twelve months of such termination, the applicable party would be required to pay a termination fee to the other party of $128,000,000. In no event will either party be entitled to receive more than one termination fee.

The Merger Agreement provides that, as of immediately following the Effective Time, Terex’s board of directors shall be comprised of twelve directors, including seven individuals who are serving as directors of Terex immediately prior to the Effective Time (all such directors, “Legacy Terex Directors”) and five individuals who are serving as directors of REV Group immediately prior to the Effective Time (all such directors, “Legacy REV Directors”; together with the Legacy Terex Directors, the “Legacy Directors”) who are independent (within the meaning of applicable NYSE and SEC rules and regulations) with respect to Terex that are designated by REV Group prior to the Effective Time and reasonably acceptable to Terex. The Merger Agreement also provides that, except as may be agreed by two-thirds of all members of the Terex board of directors (including the affirmative vote of at least two Legacy REV Directors), (1) Terex shall cause forty-two percent (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the Legacy Directors included on the slate of director nominees submitted by the Terex board of directors to the stockholders of Terex for election at each annual meeting of stockholders of Terex occurring after the closing through the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders of Terex to be Legacy REV Directors and fifty-eight percent (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the Legacy Directors included on the slate of director nominees submitted to the stockholders of Terex for election at each annual meeting of stockholders of Terex occurring after the closing through the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders of Terex to be to be Legacy Terex Directors, (2) the chair of the Terex board of directors shall be a Legacy Terex Director, (3) the Terex board of directors shall have two vice chairs of the Terex board of directors, with one such vice chair being a Legacy Terex Director and one such vice chair being a Legacy REV Director, (4) the chair of the Governance, Nominating and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Terex board of directors shall be a Legacy Terex Director, (5) the chair of the Audit Committee of the Terex board of directors shall be a Legacy REV Director, and (6) the chair of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Terex board of directors shall be a Legacy REV Director, in each case with respect to clauses (2)-(6) above, during the period from the closing until Terex’s 2028 annual meeting of stockholders.

Any statements about REV Group, Terex or the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations, strategies, beliefs, or future performance or events and any other statements to the extent they are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Words, phrases or expressions such as “will,” “creates,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “confident,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “hope,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project”, “target,” “trend” and similar words, phrases or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Forward-looking statements are based on information available and assumptions made at the time the statements are made. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the transaction between REV Group and Terex (the “Transaction”), including realization of synergies, low capital intensity, attractive leverage position, efficient cost base, predictability of earnings, future financial and operating results and free cash flow and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and other statements that are not historical facts.

The following Transaction-related factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements: the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between Terex and REV Group; the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder, or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the risk that the benefits from the Transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, trade policy (including tariff levels), laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Terex and REV Group operate; any failure to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Terex and REV Group; the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Terex’s or REV Group’s customers, employees or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement, pendency or completion of the Transaction; Terex’s issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the Transaction; the risk that Terex’s exploration of strategic options to exit its Aerials segment may not be successful or that any transaction entered into with respect to Terex’s Aerials segment is not on favorable terms; and the diversion of management’s attention and time to the Transaction and the exploration of strategic options with respect to the Terex Aerials segment and from ongoing business operations and opportunities; and the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Terex or REV Group in connection with the Transaction.

Additional important factors relating to Terex and REV Group that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the risks and contingencies detailed in Terex’s and REV Group’s respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC.

These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause Terex’s, REV Group’s or the combined company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors also could harm Terex’s, REV Group’s or the combined company’s results.

All forward-looking statements attributable to Terex, REV Group, or the combined company, or persons acting on Terex’s or REV Group’s behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Terex and REV Group do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If Terex or REV Group updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that Terex or REV Group will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Further information regarding Terex, REV Group and factors that could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein can be found in Terex’s and REV Group’s respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings with the SEC.
