WESTPORT, Conn., Jun 07, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced the successful completion of the consent solicitation (the "Consent Solicitation") relating to its 8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2017 (the "Notes") (CUSIP No. 880779AU7; ISIN No. US880779AU73). Launched on May 24, 2010, the purpose of the Consent Solicitation was to obtain the necessary consents for a waiver of the Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock covenant in the indenture governing the Notes in advance of any potential obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes with the proceeds from the Company's previously announced disposition of its mining equipment business to Bucyrus International, Inc. The Consent Solicitation expired June 4, 2010 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time.

As of the expiration time of the Consent Solicitation, the Company had received the consent of holders representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. Therefore, the waiver sought by the Company was approved.

The Company intends to settle the Consent Solicitation and execute a waiver agreement as promptly as possible upon receipt of instructions from the information and tabulation agent.

Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as solicitation agent in connection with the Consent Solicitation and Global Bondholder Services Corporation acted as information agent.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation of consents of holders of the Notes and shall not be deemed a solicitation of consents with respect to any other securities of the Company.
