Item 5. Other Events.
Terex Corporation ("Terex") announced by press release dated October 1,
2001 that it has completed the acquisition of CMI Corporation ("CMI"), a
manufacturer and marketer of a wide variety of mobile equipment and materials
processing equipment for the road building and heavy construction industry. As
the closing consolidated net debt of CMI was less than the $75.25 million
threshold included in the merger agreement, each outstanding share of CMI common
stock will be converted into 0.16 of a share of Terex common stock in connection
with the merger. Accordingly, Terex expects to issue approximately 3.6 million
shares of Terex common stock in connection with the acquisition. CMI will now
operate as a subsidiary of Terex.
