On September 16, 2008, a
purported shareholder of Gehl Company (the Company) filed a complaint (the Complaint) seeking certification of a class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court in and for Washington County, Wisconsin docketed as
Chuck Kandel v.
William D. Gehl, et al.
, Case No. 2008-CV-000990 (the Action). The lawsuit named each of the Companys directors, the Company, Manitou BF S.A., a French limited company (Société Anonyme), and Tenedor
Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation, as defendants. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the Companys directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Companys shareholders by making materially inadequate disclosures and
material omissions from those disclosures with respect to the Offer and that all defendants further conspired and aided and abetted each other in the commission of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff is seeking relief that
includes, among other things, preliminary and permanent injunctions prohibiting consummation of the Offer, rescission or recessionary damages if the Offer is consummated prior to the entry of the courts final judgment, unspecified damages and
payment of the plaintiffs costs and expenses.
The Company believes the Action to be without merit and the Company intends to
vigorously contest all allegations set forth in the Complaint. There can be no assurance, however, with regard to the outcome of the Action.
