IMPORTANT REMINDER TO VOTE YOUR PROXY
May 22, 2006
Dear Terex Team Member:
Terex will be holding its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Wednesday, May 31, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., local time, at its headquarters located at 500 Post Road East, Westport, Connecticut. In connection with this meeting, if you hold shares of Terex stock (including through our 401k Plan or our Employee Stock Purchase Plan) you will be receiving shortly a copy of Terex Corporation’s 2006 Proxy Statement and Proxy Card, along with a copy of Terex’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT! As soon as you receive your Proxy materials, please take a moment to ensure that your shares are represented at this important meeting!
At the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to vote on several proposals:
|
1. |
To elect nine (9) directors to hold office for one year or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. |
|
2. |
To ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants of the Company for 2006. |
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote FOR all of the nominees for director and FOR the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent accountants for 2006.
|
3. |
To consider a stockholder proposal requesting that the Company issue annual sustainability reports. |
The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote AGAINST the stockholder proposal requesting that the Company issue annual sustainability reports, as the Company believes that the requirement of creating an annual sustainability report is unnecessary and would not be an effective use of corporate resources.
