KONECRANES PLC - NOTICE TO THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF KONECRANES PLC


KONECRANES PLC  STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE  July 15, 2017 at 09:00 AM EET


Notice is given to the shareholders of Konecranes Plc to the Extraordinary
General Meeting (“General Meeting”) to be held on September 15, 2016, at 1.00
p.m. at Hyvinkääsali (address: Jussinkuja 1, 05800 Hyvinkää, Finland).
Reception of persons registered for the meeting and distribution of voting
tickets will commence at 12.00 noon. 

A. Matters on the agenda of the General Meeting

At the General Meeting, the following matters will be considered:

1. Opening of the meeting

2. Calling the meeting to order

3. Election of persons to scrutinize the minutes and to supervise the counting
of votes 

4. Recording the legality of the meeting

5. Recording the attendance at the meeting and adoption of the list of votes

6. Resolutions required for the completion of the acquisition of Terex
Corporation's Material Handling & Port Solutions business 

As announced on May 16, 2016, Konecranes Plc ("Konecranes" or the "Company")
intends to acquire from Terex Corporation (“Terex”) its Material Handling &
Port Solutions ("MHPS") business against consideration consisting of cash and
shares in the Company (the "Acquisition"). More information on the Acquisition
is available in Konecranes's stock exchange release issued on May 16, 2016 and
on Konecranes's website www.konecranes.com/egm2016. 

The Board of Directors makes the following proposals to the General Meeting and
recommends that the shareholders of the Company vote in favor of all the
proposals in this agenda item in order to enable the implementation of the
Acquisition. 

  1. Amendment of the Articles of Association

The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the Articles of
Association of the Company be amended in their entirety to read as set forth in
Appendix 1. 

The amendments to the Articles of Association include, inter alia, the creation
of a new class of B shares, to be issued to Terex in connection with the
closing of the Acquisition, which would have the same financial rights as
Konecranes ordinary shares but would be subject to voting and transfer
restrictions, and would confer upon Terex the right to appoint up to two
members to the Board of Directors of Konecranes as long as Terex’s or its group
companies' shareholding in Konecranes exceeds certain specified thresholds. As
long as Terex or any of its group companies owns class B shares, any amendment
of the Articles of Association relating to class B shares would require the
consent of Terex. 

Terex has informed the Company that its initial Board appointees are David
Sachs and Oren Shaffer, whose term as members of the Board of Directors would
begin as of the closing of the Acquisition. Further information on the Board
appointees is included in Appendix 2. 

  1. Authorizing the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of B shares in
     deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights


The Board of Directors proposes to the General Meeting that the General Meeting
approve and authorize the issuance of a maximum of 24,583,721 new class B
shares in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights
during the effective period of the authorization. The Board of Directors
proposes the authorization in order to issue B shares to Terex or its
designated affiliates as payment of the share consideration, including the
additional share consideration, if any, payable by Konecranes in the
Acquisition. 

The authorization represents approximately 41.84 percent of all the outstanding
shares in the Company (excluding treasury shares) as of the date of this
notice, and it will allow Konecranes to pay a share consideration representing
a minimum of 20.5 percent and a maximum of 29.5 percent of all outstanding
shares in the Company after the share issuance. 

The Board of Directors proposes that the authorization includes the right for
the Board of Directors to resolve on all other terms and conditions of the
issuance of shares. 

This authorization is effective until December 31, 2017 and it will not revoke
the authorizations granted to the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance
of shares and special rights entitling to shares by the Annual General Meeting
on March 23, 2016. 

Sub-items (i) and (ii) under this agenda item 6 are both required for the
completion of the Acquisition. They therefore form an entirety and are proposed
to be resolved on by the General Meeting in a single decision. 

7. Resolution on the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors proposes to
the General Meeting that the annual remuneration payable to the members of the
Board of Directors be increased as of the closing of the Acquisition as
follows: the annual remuneration to the Chairman of the Board of Directors
would be EUR 140,000, to the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors EUR
100,000, and to the other Board members EUR 70,000. The amount of annual
remuneration payable to the members of the Board of Directors until the closing
of the Acquisition would be based on the resolution made at the Annual General
Meeting on March 23, 2016, and the proposed increased remuneration would be
payable pro rata for the term of office between closing of the Acquisition and
the Annual General Meeting in 2017. 

The Committee further proposes that other than the increase to the annual
remuneration proposed above, the remuneration of the members of the Board of
Directors would remain unchanged from that resolved by the Annual General
Meeting on March 23, 2016, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the meeting
fees and payment of 50 per cent of the annual remuneration in Konecranes shares
and related conditions. 

8. Resolution on the number of members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors proposes to
the General Meeting that the number of members of the Board of Directors be
increased to eight (8) as of the closing of the General Meeting. 

The Committee further proposes that, subject to the General Meeting's approval
of the matters under agenda item 6, the number of members of the Board of
Directors be increased to ten (10) as of the closing of the Acquisition when
the two members of the Board of Directors appointed by Terex join the Board of
Directors. 

9. Election of members of the Board of Directors

The Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors proposes to
the General Meeting that two new members of the Board of Directors be elected
for a term of office ending at the closing of the Annual General Meeting in
2017. The new members proposed to be elected are expected to be independent of
the Company and of major shareholders of the Company. The persons to be
proposed as the new members of the Board of Directors will be separately
announced by the Company at the latest three weeks before the General Meeting. 

10. Closing of the meeting

B. Documents of the General Meeting

The proposals for the decisions on the matters included in the agenda of the
General Meeting, this notice as well as the documents referred to in Chapter 5,
Section 21 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act are available on

     Terex Group, and Terex not having reconveyed (or caused the reconveyance
     of) such Company Shares to itself or another member of Terex Group
     immediately before such entity has ceased to be a part of Terex Group or
     within ten (10) Business Days (as defined in section 22) thereafter.

(b) The Terex Designating Person shall have the right, upon written notice to
the company, (i) to remove any Terex Designee then serving as a member of the

Designee to replace any Terex Designee who (A) is unable to serve as a member
of the board of directors for any reason, or (B) is removed (upon death,
resignation, at the election of the Terex Designating Person pursuant to the
foregoing section 5(b)(i) or otherwise). 

(c) At least ten (10) Business Days prior to submitting any notice to appoint a
Terex Designee, the Terex Designating Person shall (other than with respect to

company of the name of the potential Terex Designee who shall be presented to
the company by the Terex Designating Person in good faith, (ii) provide, or

directors in the five (5) years preceding the notice contemplated by the prior
sentence. 

(d) Notwithstanding the Terex Designating Person's appointment rights in
section 5(a) and section 5(b), the Terex Designating Person shall not be
permitted to appoint as Terex Designee any individual who would be prohibited

such number of the Terex Designees then serving on the board of directors to
resign from the board of directors (such resigning Terex Designees to be
selected at the Terex Designating Person's sole discretion) as is necessary so

directors is less than or equal to the number of Terex Designees that the Terex
Designating Person is then entitled to appoint to the board of directors
pursuant to section 5(a). If the Terex Designating Person is obligated in
accordance with this section 5(f) to cause the resignation of one or more Terex
Designees but such resignation has not taken place, the general meeting of
shareholders may, with the majority of the votes cast, remove such Terex
Designees or one of them from the board of directors. 

§ 6 Top-up rights

(a) If the company causes an action, event or other circumstance to occur that
results in Terex Group's ownership of Company Shares to fall below any
Ownership Threshold (a "Threshold Dilution Event") and such Threshold Dilution
Event did not result from a Transfer by Terex Group of Company Shares
(excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Transfers constituting a Conversion
Event referred to in sections 20(a)(i)-(vi) that do not reduce Terex Group’s
ownership of Company Shares) or Terex Group's failure to exercise its rights
pursuant to section 7, then, following the Threshold Dilution Event, Terex
Group or the Terex Designating Person, on prior written notice to the company
that it intends to restore its ownership of Company Shares to the applicable
Ownership Threshold within the Initial Top-Up Period, shall be entitled to
defer the applicable member’s resignation from the board of directors, until
the date that is three (3) months (the "Initial Top-Up Period") after the date
upon which Terex Group first fell below the applicable Ownership Threshold (the
"Top-Up Right"); provided that to the extent that Terex Group or the Terex
Designees are subject to blackout restrictions implemented by the company or
otherwise restricted from making open market purchases by applicable securities
laws with respect to the Company Shares resulting in fewer than thirty (30)
trading days exempt from such restrictions in such three (3)-month period, then
such three (3)-month period shall be extended for an additional three (3)
months (the "Extension Top-Up Period"), provided further, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any rights granted under these
articles of association to Terex, the Terex Group or the Terex Designating
Person which are dependent on the Terex Designating Person having the right to
appoint a certain number of Terex Designees shall not be lost until the
expiration of any Extension Top-Up Period or, if no such Extension Top-Up
occurs, the Initial Top-Up Period, in each case, as applicable for the relevant
Threshold Dilution Event. 

(b) If Terex Group delivers written notice to the company pursuant to section
6(a) that it intends to exercise the Top-Up Right in respect of a Threshold
Dilution Event, in the event that the company issues Company Shares (including
shares owned by the company or its Subsidiaries) in a B-Diluting Issue (as
defined in section 7), Terex Group shall be deemed not to have fallen below any
Ownership Threshold during the period from the date of receipt by Terex Group
of the applicable B-Diluting Issue Notice (as defined in section 7) until six
(6) months following the date of receipt of the B-Diluting Issue Notice. 

§ 7 Preemptive Rights

(a) In accordance with the Finnish Companies Act, Terex Group shall be granted
preemptive rights with respect to its Class B Shares to the extent that
preemptive rights are granted to the owners of Company Shares, and Terex Group
shall be permitted to exercise such preemptive rights as permitted under the
Finnish Companies Act. 

(b) If the company proposes to issue any Company Shares (including shares owned
by the company or its Subsidiaries) in a directed issue where preemptive rights
are not afforded to the owners of Class B shares (a "B-Diluting Issue"), the
company shall give notice (a "B-Diluting Issue Notice") to Terex Group of any
B-Diluting Issue on each of (w) the date that the company issues Company Shares
(including shares owned by the company or its Subsidiaries) in a B-Diluting
Issue if such issuance, together with any prior B-Diluting Issue of which Terex
Group has not previously been notified, exceeds one percent (1%) of the total
number of Company Shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis, (x) the tenth
(10th) trading day prior to the record date for any general meeting of
shareholders of the company, (y) the six (6)-month anniversary of each record
date for the company's annual general meeting of shareholders and (z) any other
date specified by the members of the board of directors not appointed by Terex. 

§ 8 Committees

For so long as the Terex Designating Person has the right to appoint a Terex
Designee under section 5(a), the board of directors shall cause the appointment
of at least one (1) Terex Designee (in each case as selected by the Terex
Designating Person) to each of the committees of the board of directors
(excluding any ad-hoc or special committee established primarily for the
purpose of evaluating any potential acquisition between the company and any
member of the Terex Group and where the members of the board of directors not
appointed by Terex reasonably determine that the Terex Designee would have
actual or potential conflict-of-interest (in Finnish: intressijäävi) when
participating in such ad hoc or special committee as a result of his or her
relationship with Terex Group). In the event of a vacancy on any committee
caused by the replacement or inability to serve of the Terex Designee then
serving as a member of such committee, the Terex Designating Person shall have
the right to demand that the replacement Terex Designee or any other Terex
Designee be appointed to fill such committee vacancy. 

§ 9 Expenses, compensation and indemnification of Terex Designees

Each Terex Designee appointed to the board of directors shall be entitled to
the same compensation (including equity compensation) and other benefits as
well as to expense reimbursements on the same grounds as the other members of
the board of directors. Furthermore, each Terex Designee shall be entitled to
the same liability insurance and indemnity protection, including right to
advancement of fees and expenses, as the other members of the board of
directors, with the exception that each Terex Designee's liability insurance
shall include insurance for liabilities under U.S. securities laws. 

§ 10 Voting rights

(a) Each Class A share shall carry one (1) vote. Each Class B share shall carry
one (1) vote, provided, however, that the Class B shares shall not carry any
voting rights (i) after a Terex Change of Control has occurred, (ii) if Terex
Group ceases to own in excess of fifty per cent (50 %) of all outstanding Class
B shares as a result of an entity within Terex Group which owns Company Shares
ceasing to be a part of Terex Group, and Terex not having reconveyed (or caused
the reconveyance of) such Company Shares to itself or another member of Terex
Group immediately before such entity has ceased to be a part of Terex Group or
within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, or (iii) in any of the following
matters: (A) the appointment or removal of members of the board of directors

B shares into Class A shares in connection with any of the following events
(each a “Conversion Event”): 

  1. a transaction pursuant to which all or substantially all of the Company
     Shares Beneficially Owned by Terex Group are sold or distributed to, or
     made available to be acquired by, in the form of American depositary shares
     representing Company Shares (whether by redemption, dividend, share
     distribution, split-off, spin-off, rights offering, exchange offer,
     exercise of subscription rights, merger, or otherwise), all or
     substantially all of the holders of Terex’s issued and outstanding Capital
     Stock as of the earlier point in time of (i) such transaction or (ii)
     immediately prior to a Terex Change of Control, excluding, to the extent
     permitted by applicable law, any Person who has consummated or is seeking
     to consummate a Terex Change of Control (such transaction, a “Distribution
     Transaction”);


  1. Transfers by such owner of Class B shares of Company Shares to an escrow
     agent, trustee or similar person in connection with a Distribution
     Transaction;


  1. Transfers by such owner of Class B shares of Company Shares pursuant to a
     Company Change of Control;


  1. Transfers by such owner of Class B shares of Company Shares approved by the
     affirmative vote of a majority of the company’s board of directors
     excluding the Terex Designees;


  1. if the company’s board of directors has not approved such Transfers in
     accordance with section 20(a)(iv), Transfers by such owner of Class B
     shares of Company Shares representing five per cent (5 %) or more of the
     Company Shares that are approved by the general meeting of shareholders
     with a majority of the votes cast at such general meeting of shareholders;


  1. Transfers by such owner of Class B shares of Company Shares to a Person
     that, to the knowledge of such owner after reasonable inquiry and as
     represented by such owner to the company in writing, would not have
     Beneficial Ownership of Company Shares in excess of three per cent (3 %) of
     the Company Shares after giving effect to such Transfer; or


  -- when the aggregate amount of Class B shares constitutes less than five per
     cent (5 %) of the Company Shares.

(b) Upon a Conversion Event, the owner of Class B shares has the right to
demand conversion by making a written conversion demand (“Conversion Demand”)
to the company’s board of directors setting out (i) the Conversion Event in
such reasonable detail as to enable the board of directors to assess whether a
Conversion Event entitling such owner of Class B shares to demand conversion is
at hand or will be at hand within a reasonable period of time (having regard to
the type of Conversion Event), it being understood that, without limitation,
the passing of any relevant corporate resolution or the entering into any
binding agreement to effect or approve any Conversion Event shall always be
deemed sufficient for such purpose; (ii) the number of Class B shares to be
converted and (iii) such information regarding the account in which the
relevant Class B shares are held in the book-entry system as is necessary to
enable to company to effect the conversion. 

(c) The company’s board of directors shall effect the conversion and notify the
Trade Register of the changes in the number of shares in the share classes as
soon as practically possible and no later than within fourteen (14) days from
having received a Conversion Demand, provided, however, that 

  1. if it is reasonably apparent that the completion of the relevant Conversion
     Event would occur later than ten (10) Business Days after the completion of
     the conversion, then the company’s board of directors may, after having
     consulted with the relevant owner of the Class B shares, delay effecting
     the conversion until such date that is ten (10) Business Days before the
     anticipated date of the completion of the relevant Conversion Event; and


  1. if it is reasonably apparent that there would occur a record date for
     voting at any general meeting of shareholders (in Finnish: yhtiökokouksen
     täsmäytyspäivä) between the date when the conversion is effected and the
     date of the completion of the relevant Conversion Event, then the company’s
     board of directors may, after having consulted with the relevant owner of
     the Class B shares, delay effecting the conversion until, and shall effect
     the conversion as soon as possible, after such record date.

The company may request that a note restricting the shareholder's right to
Transfer the Company Shares on the relevant book-entry account prior to the
completion of the relevant Conversion Event shall be entered in the book-entry
account of the shareholder, it being understood that the Transfer completing
the Conversion Event is to be permitted. 

(d) A Class B share is converted into a Class A share on a one-to-one (1:1)
conversion ratio. 

(e) A Class B share shall be considered to have been converted into a Class A
share once the entry into the Trade Register has been made. The company shall
without delay notify the owner of Class B shares who has demanded conversion
and the book-entry register keeper that the conversion has been registered. 

(f) If necessary, the company’s board of directors shall provide further
instructions on the process of the conversion, provided that such instructions
are not prejudicial to the rights of Terex Group or owners of Class B shares. 

§ 21 Conversion of Class A shares

(a) For so long as the company has any outstanding Class B shares, any Class A
shares received or acquired by Terex Group shall be converted into Class B
shares. 

(b) Terex shall notify the company’s board of directors in writing of any Class
A shares acquired by Terex Group, setting out the number of shares to be
converted and such information regarding the account in which the relevant
Company Shares are held in the book-entry system as is necessary to enable to
company to effect the conversion (a “Class A Share Conversion Notice”). 

(c) The company’s board of directors shall carry out the conversion and notify
the Trade Register of the changes in the number of shares in the share classes
as soon as practically possible and no later than within fourteen (14) days
from having received a Class A Share Conversion Notice. The company may request
that a note restricting the shareholder's right to Transfer Class A shares
prior to completion of the conversion thereof into Class B shares shall be
entered in the book-entry account of the shareholder. 

(d) The company has an independent right, regardless of whether a Class A Share
Conversion Notice has been made in accordance with section 21(b), to convert
into Class B shares any Class A shares acquired by Terex Group. Further, if
Terex Group has come to own Class A shares as a result of a conversion of Class
B shares pursuant to section 20, and it becomes reasonably apparent that the
completion of the relevant Conversion Event will not occur within the next
thirty (30) days, then the company’s board of directors has the right (after
having consulted with Terex) to convert into Class B shares any Class A shares
so held by Terex Group, and Terex shall have a corresponding right to demand
such conversion. 

(e) A Class A share is converted into a Class B share on a one-to-one (1:1)
conversion ratio. 

(f) A Class A share shall be considered to have been converted into a Class B
share once the entry into the Trade Register has been made. The company shall
without delay notify the owner whose Class A shares have been converted and the
book-entry register keeper that the conversion has been registered. 

(g) If necessary, the company’s board of directors shall provide further
instructions on the process of the conversion, provided that such instructions
are not prejudicial to the rights of Terex Group or owners of Class B shares.
