On
February 1, 2008, Oshkosh Truck Corporation (the “Company”) held a conference
call in connection with the Company’s announcement of its earnings for the first
quarter ended December 31, 2007 and its revised outlook for fiscal 2008. The script for
such conference call, which was furnished as an exhibit to the Company’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2008,
and the accompanying slide presentation, which was posted on the Company’s website at
www.oshkoshtruckcorporation.com, contain statements that may be deemed proxy
soliciting materials for purposes of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held
February 5, 2008 at which the Company is requesting shareholders to approve a change of
the Company’s name. The following excerpts from such script and slide presentation
contain the statements that may be deemed proxy soliciting materials:
Script
“We have a proposal outstanding
to our shareholders to change our company name to more accurately reflect the scope of our
business and our future.”
“As I mentioned a few moments
ago, we have a proposal outstanding to our shareholders to change our corporate name from
Oshkosh Truck Corporation to simply Oshkosh Corporation. We’re very proud of our rich
history of being a leading military and specialty truck producer and we will continue to
make the best military and specialty work trucks in the world under the Oshkosh Truck
brand. But, particularly with our purchase last year of JLG Industries, we’ve
expanded the scope of vehicles and equipment that we sell and we believe it is appropriate
for our name to reflect that growth. I hope you have noticed in some of our communications
and presentations that we already look at ourselves as a leading specialty vehicle
producer. We will hear from our shareholders early next week, but we expect them to
approve our name change as we continue the transformation of our great company.”
