Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Terex Corporation (“Terex” or the “Company”) owns approximately 15.5% of the outstanding shares of Konecranes Plc (“Konecranes”). Terex previously stated it was evaluating how the Company would account for its ownership interest in Konecranes. The Company has now determined that it will elect the fair value option, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 825, to account for its ownership interest in Konecranes. As a result, changes in fair value of the shares and any dividends the Company receives as a result of its ownership interest in Konecranes, will be recognized in earnings at each reporting date. However, the Company intends to exclude the effect of changes in fair value of the shares when it discusses its earnings results in the future on a non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles basis, as the Company does not believe changes in fair value of the Konecranes shares is reflective of the Company’s operational performance.
