On August 8, 2016, Konecranes announced that it has received approval from the
European Commission for its pending acquisition of Terex’s MHPS business (“MHPS
Acquisition”). The approval is conditional on a commitment by Konecranes to
divest its STAHL CraneSystems business. Furthermore, Konecranes stated that
STAHL CraneSystems’ external sales totaled EUR 145 million in 2015 and the
company has approximately 700 employees.

To facilitate the divestment process, Konecranes announces that STAHL
CraneSystems’ pro forma EBITDA on a stand-alone basis would have totaled
approximately EUR 30 million in 2015.

Konecranes will use the proceeds from the STAHL CraneSystems divestment to
amortize loans related to the MHPS Acquisition.

The closing of the MHPS Acquisition is conditional to the European Commission’s
approval of the buyer(s) of the STAHL CraneSystems business.
