John L. Garrison, Terex President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “With today’s sale, Terex has sold its remaining Konecranes shares. When we announced the sale of MHPS in May 2016, the Konecranes shares that Terex was to receive were worth approximately $456 million. In total, Terex will have received approximately $773 million for the sale of those shares, bringing the total consideration received by Terex for the disposition of MHPS to approximately $1.6 billion. These amounts demonstrate the significant value to Terex shareholders that was created by the sale of our MHPS segment and the Konecranes-MHPS combination.”
