EXPLANATORY NOTE

Terex Corporation (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) relating to the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Terex Common Stock”), that may be issued pursuant to awards outstanding under the Amended and Restated REV Group, Inc. (“REV”) 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

On October 29, 2025, the Company, REV, Tag Merger Sub 1 Inc. (“Merger Sub 1”) and Tag Merger Sub 2 LLC (“Merger Sub 2”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into REV (the “First Merger”), whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub 1 ceased, and REV continued as the surviving corporation of the first merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) immediately after the first merger, REV merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), whereupon the separate existence of REV ceased, and Merger Sub 2 continued as the surviving entity of the Second Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company assumed all of the obligations of REV under the Plan and all awards thereunder.

Upon the Mergers becoming effective (the “Effective Time”), each restricted share award granted under the Plan outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “REV Restricted Share Award”), was automatically assumed and converted, at the Effective Time, into (i) an award of restricted shares of Terex Common Stock (a “Terex Restricted Share Award”), relating to a number of shares of Terex Common Stock equal to the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, of (A) a the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of REV (“REV Common Stock”) subject to the corresponding Rolex Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio (as defined below), and (ii) an amount in restricted cash equal to the product of (A) the Cash Consideration (as defined below), multiplied by (B) the number of shares of REV Common Stock subject to the corresponding REV Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. The “Exchange Ratio” means the ratio of 0.9809 to 1, and the “Cash Consideration” means $8.71 in cash without interest.

Upon the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted under the Plan outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “REV RSU Award”) was automatically assumed and converted, at the Effective Time, into (i) an award of RSUs relating to shares of Terex Common Stock (any such award, a “Terex RSU” and together with the Terex Restricted Share Awards, the “Terex Stock Awards”), relating to a number of shares of Terex Common Stock equal to the product, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, of (A) the number of shares of REV Common Stock subject to the corresponding REV RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Award Exchange Ratio (as defined below), and (ii) an amount in restricted cash equal the amount of any dividend equivalents that were accrued, but unpaid, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the corresponding REV RSU Award. “Award Exchange Ratio” means 1.1309 to 1, which is the sum of (i) the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the quotient of (a) the Cash Consideration, divided by (b) the average of the volume weighted averages of the trading prices of a share of Terex Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on each of the five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day that is two trading days prior to the Effective Time, rounded to the nearest cent.

This Registration Statement is being filed by the Company to register 915,862 shares of Terex Common Stock, which is equal to the of number of shares of Terex Common Stock subject to the Terex Stock Awards. Such shares of Terex Common Stock will be issued in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an exception under Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual (“Rule 303A.08”). Pursuant to an exception under Rule 303A.08, shares that are available for grant under a pre-existing shareholder approved plan of an issuer that is acquired in an acquisition or merger may be used (after appropriate adjustment of the number of shares to reflect the transaction) by the listed acquiring company for certain post-transaction grants, either under the pre-existing plan or another plan, provided that (i) the time during which those shares are available for grants is not extended beyond the period when they would have been available under the pre-existing plan, absent the transaction, and (ii) such awards are not granted to individuals who were employed, immediately before the transaction, by the post-transaction listed company or entities that were its subsidiaries immediately before the transaction.

Scott J. Posner, Esq., has rendered an opinion on the validity of the Terex Common Stock being registered under the Plan pursuant to this Registration Statement. Mr. Posner is a senior vice president, secretary and the general counsel of the Company. A copy of his opinion is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Registration Statement. Mr. Posner is paid a salary by the Company, is a participant in various employee benefit plans and incentive plans offered by it and holds shares of Terex Common Stock.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and Article X of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (“By-laws”) provide for the indemnification of the Company’s directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act.

Article X of the Company’s By-laws generally requires the Company to indemnify its officers and directors against all liabilities (including judgments, settlements, fines and penalties) and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of certain actions, whether instituted by a third party or a stockholder (either directly or indirectly) and including specifically, but without limitation, actions brought under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act; except that no such indemnification will be permitted if such director or officer was not successful in defending against any such action and it is determined that the director or officer breached or failed to perform his or her duties to the Company, and such breach or failure constitutes (i) a willful breach of his or her “duty of loyalty” (as defined therein), (ii) acts or omissions not in “good faith” (as defined therein) or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) a violation of Section 174 of the DGCL, relating to prohibited dividends or distributions or the repurchase or redemption of stock, or (iv) a transaction where such individual derived an improper direct personal financial profit (unless it is deemed that such profit is immaterial in light of all of the circumstances) (collectively, “Breach of Duty”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to certain exceptions, the By-laws provide that directors or officers initiating an action are not entitled to indemnification.

The By-laws also establish certain procedures by which (i) a director or officer may request an advance on his or her reasonable expenses, prior to the final disposition of an action, (ii) the Company may withhold an indemnification payment from a director or officer, (iii) a director or officer may be entitled to partial indemnification, and (iv) a director or officer may challenge the Company’s denial to furnish him or her with requested indemnification. Additionally, the By-laws provide that the adverse termination of an action against an officer or director is not in and of itself sufficient to create a presumption that a director or officer engaged in conduct constituting a Breach of Duty.

Finally, the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, contains a provision that eliminates the personal liability of a director to the Company and its stockholders for certain breaches of his or her fiduciary duty of care as a director. This provision does not, however, eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director (i) for any breach of such director’s “duty of loyalty” (as defined therein) to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in “good faith” (as defined therein) or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, relating in general to the willful or negligent payment of an illegal dividend or the authorization of an unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit to the extent of such profit. This provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, offers persons who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company protection against awards of monetary damages resulting from negligent (except as indicated above) and “grossly” negligent actions taken in the performance of their duty of care, including grossly negligent business decisions made in connection with takeover proposals for the Company. As a result of this provision, the ability of the Company or a stockholder thereof to successfully prosecute an action against a director for a breach of his or her duty of care has been limited. However, the provision does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director’s breach of his or her duty of care. Although the validity and scope of Section 145 of the DGCL (generally relating to indemnification of directors and others) has not been tested in court, the SEC has taken the position that the provision will have no effect on claims arising under the Federal securities laws.

The Company maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures the officers and directors of the Company from any claim arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such persons in their respective capacities as officers and directors of the Company.

Not applicable.

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment hereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

b.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

c.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing a Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the city of Norwalk, State of Connecticut, on January 30, 2026.
