As announced earlier today, Terex Corporation ("Terex") commenced an accelerated book-building process for the sale of up to 5,150,000 Konecranes Plc ("Konecranes" or the "Company") shares (the "Share Sale"). Konecranes has received confirmation published by Terex regarding the completion of the sale of all shares offered in the Share Sale at a price of EUR 36.50 per share, representing a 1.7 percent discount to the closing price of Konecranes class A shares on Nasdaq Helsinki today. The Share Sale was multiple times oversubscribed at the sale price.

Based on a conversion request by Terex, the Board of Directors of the Company has decided to convert the 5,150,000 class B shares sold by Terex in the Share Sale to class A shares in the Company in accordance with § 20 of the Articles of Association (the "Conversion"). The shareholders agreement between Terex and Konecranes dated January 4, 2017 will terminate in accordance with its terms in connection with the completion of the Share Sale as Terex will cease to own any Company class B shares.

The Conversion is expected to be registered with the Finnish Trade Register on September 6, 2017. The converted class A shares will be applied for listing on Nasdaq Helsinki and their trading together with the Company's existing class A shares is expected to commence on or about September 7, 2017.

After the Conversion the Company has no class B shares. The total number of class A shares in the Company is 78,921,906 of which 165,761 class A shares are held by Konecranes and its subsidiaries as treasury shares.

The Conversion does not have an effect on the aggregate number of all shares and votes in the Company. Upon registration in the Finnish Trade Register, the converted class A shares will have the same rights as the Company's existing class A shares.
