• Sold businesses that were destroying value (generating returns less than COC)
- Handling US sold for $60m end April 2012
- Handling UK sold for £47m end September 2012
- These sales were extremely complex
• NMHG had to agree the buyers and the split of territory
» They wanted US split 7 ways. We ended up splitting it 3 ways but still very complex
• MOD in the UK was in the middle of a retender process so we had to use
clean teams and ethical walls monitored by third parties to do the UK sale
• Some 50 complex industrial sites to transfer with complex legal and
environmental clauses
• Exited £30m lease commitments for Barloworld
• This liberated some £80m of cash that Barloworld could invest in higher return
businesses
- Bucyrus, Agriculture and Power etc
Corporate action taken to improve returns

• We had been Hyster dealers in these territories for decades and we were Hyster’s
biggest dealer worldwide so the decisions were not taken lightly
• We tried all we could to improve the returns, before we decided to exit
• When strategies diverge, decisive action is necessary
• Strategic options being considered for Belgium and the Netherlands
• Handling in SA to remain
- Our market share is high, specially in warehouse products
- Synergies with Agriculture and SEM
- Africa is not depressed as Europe is
- Good growth prospects
These were big decisions to exit
