The following communication was sent by Mark Skonieczny, President and Chief Executive Officer of REV Group, Inc. (“REV Group”) to all REV Group employees, on October 30, 2025, in connection with REV Group’s proposed business combination with Terex Corporation.
To: All Employees
From: Mark Skonieczny
Subject: Important Company Update
Dear team,
I’m pleased to share that a few moments ago we announced that we’ve entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Terex to form a leading specialty equipment manufacturer. This is an exciting new chapter for REV Group that builds on years of growth and is the natural next step in our strategy to build a stronger, more diversified company. To learn more, you can read our press release and review the investor presentation on our Investor Relations website.
I want to share why this transaction will create significant strategic value and position our company for continued success. By bringing together two highly respected organizations that share a commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and customer success, we’re creating a company poised for long-term growth, supported by a complementary portfolio of specialty equipment businesses and a strong U.S. manufacturing base.
Our company will benefit from being part of an organization with greater scale and capabilities, offering enhanced access to tools and support systems that empower greater innovation, along with expanded career opportunities within an institution where our people can continue to thrive.
As Terex operates in different end markets than those we serve, many of you may be unfamiliar with the company. Terex is a global industrial equipment manufacturer of materials processing machinery, waste and recycling solutions, and equipment for the electric utility industry. The company also has an Aerials segment that manufactures mobile elevating work platforms, and as part of this announcement, has shared its intent to separate this business from the combined company. Upon completion of the merger, our brands will continue to operate independently, as they do now, maintaining their leadership and unique identities while benefiting from the scale and resources of Terex.
You’ll note in the press release that, following the closing, Simon Meester, President and CEO of Terex, will be the CEO of the combined company. Having had the opportunity to get to know Simon throughout our discussions, I’m confident the company will be in the hands of a deeply experienced and principled leader who brings thoughtfulness and integrity to his work. In the meantime, it remains business as usual as we continue to focus on our priorities.
REV Group and Terex will continue to operate as two separate companies until close, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2026. Today is just the start of the process, and there are still necessary approvals ahead that will be managed by dedicated teams. We will keep you informed as we move forward. In the coming weeks, you’ll have an opportunity to hear more from leaders across the company about the transaction and to ask questions.
It is worth noting that you may also receive questions from the media about today’s announcement. Please forward any questions from the press to Julie Nuernberg, Senior Director, Marketing and Communications, at [email protected].
As we move through this transition together, I ask that you stay focused on delivering the important work at hand — our plans and priorities remain the same. I also want to take a moment to thank you. This marks a significant milestone in our journey, made possible by your continued dedication and hard work every day.
We have tremendous opportunities ahead. For our brands, our business, and for all of you.
Sincerely,
Mark
Mark Skonieczny
President and CEO
REV Group
