Terex–REV merger (NYSE: REVG) adds valuations amid shareholder suits
Terex Corporation filed an update on its planned merger with REV Group, addressing shareholder litigation and adding detail to its joint proxy statement. Several stockholders of REV and Terex have filed lawsuits and sent demand letters alleging disclosure deficiencies; Terex and REV dispute these claims but are voluntarily supplementing disclosures to avoid delays to the mergers and the upcoming special meeting.
The supplement clarifies that an initial all‑stock merger proposal envisioned Terex stockholders owning 61.5% of the combined company after divesting Terex’s Aerials business, with REV stockholders owning 38.5%. It expands on valuation work by Barclays and J.P. Morgan, including discounted cash flow analyses, comparable‑company multiples and synergy estimates. Terex also discloses Barclays’ compensation, including a $4.0 million opinion fee, up to $18.0 million payable on completion and a potential $2.0 million discretionary fee, and provides Terex management forecasts showing revenue growing from $5,256 million in 2025E to $7,235 million in 2029E with rising adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow.

The document deepens transparency around valuation work. Barclays’ discounted cash flow analysis yields implied enterprise values of

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and is burdened by stock-based compensation and corporate
costs. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this non-GAAP measure
differently, which limits comparability between companies.

Tax rate of 19% per Terex management projections for Terex.

Unlevered Free Cash Flow is defined as net operating profit after taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, minus capital
expenditures and plus or minus changes in net working capital. Unlevered Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or other measures
derived in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently, which limits comparability between companies.
