EXPLANATORY NOTE

On May 8, 2012, the shareholders of Cummins Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which became effective upon such approval.  The Plan is a successor plan to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”), and 4,009,467 shares of Common Stock (the “Prior Shares”) that remained available under the Prior Plan for future grants were added to the number of shares available under the 2012 Plan.  The Prior Shares were registered on Forms S-8 (Registration Statement Nos. 333-162796 and 333-123368) (the “Prior Registration Statements”), and have been transferred to the Plan.

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Registration Statements is being filed for the purpose of disclosing that the Prior Shares (3,500,000 from Registration Statement No. 333-162796 and 509,467 from Registration Statement No. 333-123368) have been moved to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on June 6, 2012 (No. 333-181927), which also registered an additional 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan.
