CASE SELLS INTEREST IN LBX COMPANY

RACINE, Wis. (May 10, 2010) – Case Construction Equipment today announced the sale of its interest in LBX Company LLC to S.C.M. (America), Inc., an affiliate of Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery Co., LTD. (“Sumitomo”). As a result of this transaction, LBX is now wholly owned by Sumitomo.
