BDA Advises Terex on Sale of Its UK Compact Construction Equipment

Business to Groupe Mecalac

New York, NY, December 21, 2016 --(PR.com)-- BDA Partners ("BDA") is pleased to announce that its
client, Terex Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of lifting and material processing products and
services, has agreed to sell the assets of its business in Coventry, United Kingdom, to Groupe Mecalac, a
French manufacturer of urban construction equipment. The Coventry business manufactures and sells
backhoe loaders, site dumpers, and compaction rollers. BDA acted as exclusive financial advisor to
Terex.
The transaction follows the divestiture of Terex's German compact construction equipment business to
Yanmar, a leading Japanese manufacturer of diesel engines. BDA also advised Terex on that transaction.
These divestitures are driven by Terex's strategy to focus its portfolio on those product categories where
Terex has a significant presence in the market and that can provide the greatest returns for its
shareholders.
The sale, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is targeted to close in the first half of 2017.
Gregg Horne, General Manager of the Coventry business, said, "We are pleased and excited about the
opportunity to join the Mecalac family. They embrace our vision of market growth and product
innovation for the Coventry products, and they share the same values in terms of quality and team
working."
John Garrison, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to enter into this
agreement with Mecalac as they are a logical strategic buyer and have the resources and capability to
further grow the business."
Henri Marchetta, Mecalac Chief Executive Officer, said, "This acquisition follows our growth strategy,
based on excellence, on the broadening of our range of equipment for urban construction sites, and on
international distribution deployment."
Euan Rellie, BDA Co-Founder, said, "We're proud to have advised on a second transaction for Terex this
year. BDA helps its clients to find, engage, and transact with the optimal counterparties, wherever they
may sit in the world. Mecalac is an excellent strategic buyer, offering a complementary product range and
resources to grow the business across Europe and globally."
