(b)                                 On March 4, 2013, Michael W. Grebe, a member of the Board of Directors of Oshkosh Corporation (the “Company”), notified the Company of his intention to retire from serving as a member of the Board effective as of May 31, 2013.  Mr. Grebe, who is 72, cited the director retirement age of 72 set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines as a reason for his decision to retire from the Board.

 

Also on March 4, 2013, J. Peter Mosling, Jr., a member of the Board, notified the Company of his intention to retire from serving as a member of the Board effective as of May 31, 2013.  Mr. Mosling, who has been instrumental in the growth and success of the Company since joining the Company in 1969, noted the strength of the Company’s current leadership and his belief that the Company is headed in the right direction as factors contributing to his decision to retire from the Board.

 

After being advised of the intentions of Messrs. Grebe and Mosling to retire from the Board, the Board acted to approve a reduction in the size of the Board from thirteen directors to eleven directors with such reduction to be effective as of May 31, 2013.  As a result of the Board’s action, the retirements of Messrs. Grebe and Mosling will not result in any vacancy on the Board.
