Terex (NYSE: TEX) expands REV merger proxy with new forecasts, fees
Terex Corporation is supplementing its joint proxy statement/prospectus for its planned merger with REV Group after several stockholder lawsuits and demand letters challenged the adequacy of merger-related disclosures. Terex and REV dispute the claims but are adding detail to avoid potential delays and costs while keeping the special stockholder meeting on January 28, 2026 and the merger consideration unchanged.
The new disclosures expand the background of negotiations, valuation work by Barclays and J.P. Morgan, and prospective financial information. Terex now shares standalone projections through 2029, including 2025 estimated revenue of $5,256 million, adjusted EBITDA of $620 million, and unlevered free cash flow of $422 million, as well as additional information on synergy valuation of approximately $595 million net present value. The board continues to recommend voting in favor of the Terex stock issuance and other merger proposals.

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.

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.

FAQ
What did Terex (TEX) disclose in this 8-K about its merger with REV Group?
Terex provided supplemental disclosures to its joint proxy statement/prospectus for the planned merger with REV Group. The update adds detail on the merger background, financial advisor valuation analyses, synergy estimates, and Terex’s standalone financial projections through 2029, while affirming that the merger consideration and special meeting date remain the same.
Why is Terex (TEX) supplementing its definitive proxy statement for the REV merger?
Terex is supplementing the definitive proxy statement after stockholder lawsuits and demand letters alleged that the original disclosures omitted material information about the mergers. Terex and REV believe the claims are without merit but are adding detail to reduce the risk that the litigation could delay or adversely affect closing, without admitting liability or wrongdoing.
Do the new disclosures change the merger terms for REV Group stockholders?
No. Terex states that these supplemental disclosures do not change the consideration to be paid to REV stockholders under the merger agreement and do not alter the timing of the special meeting of Terex stockholders, which is scheduled to be held virtually on January 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
What financial projections did Terex (TEX) add for its standalone business?
Terex added summarized unaudited prospective financial information for fiscal years 2025–2029. For 2025, management projects total revenue of $5,256 million, adjusted EBITDA of $620 million and unlevered free cash flow of $422 million. These projections were used by Barclays and J.P. Morgan in their valuation analyses related to the merger.
How were Terex and REV valued by their financial advisors in the merger analysis?
Barclays performed discounted cash flow analyses for both Terex and REV, using management projections, terminal value multiples and discount rates tailored to each company. For Terex, this produced implied enterprise values between $6,354 million and $8,192 million. For REV, the implied enterprise value range was $3,719 million to $4,645 million, along with additional comparable company and other valuation work also summarized in the supplemental disclosure.
What synergy information did the Terex–REV merger analysis include?
REV management provided J.P. Morgan with estimated Synergies, and J.P. Morgan used an estimated present value of approximately $595 million, representing the net present value of run-rate synergies of approximately $75 million, net of related costs to achieve such synergies. This was included in calculating the implied equity value of the combined company.
How is Barclays being compensated for advising Terex on the REV merger?
Terex paid Barclays an $4.0 million opinion fee upon delivery of its fairness opinion, not contingent on the opinion’s conclusion or completion of the mergers. Additional compensation of $18.0 million will be payable at closing, and Terex may pay a discretionary performance fee of up to $2.0 million. Terex also agreed to reimburse expenses and provide indemnification, and Barclays has received approximately $5.5 million from Terex for other services between January 1, 2023 and October 22, 2025.
