Addtionally 19.6 million newly issued class B shares represent a 25 per cent interest in Konecranes. According to John L.

Mr. Garrison continued, “The sale of our MHPS business is a major milestone on our journey to become a more focused, high performance enterprise. We are committed to delivering improved profitability and return on capital across Terex as we implement our strategy of focus, simplify, and execute to win. Also, we will move forward over the coming weeks with our planned debt reduction, significantly reducing our interest expense and leverage as we enter 2017.”
