CNH Offers Support to Flood-Stricken Midwest

BURR RIDGE, Illinois – (June 23, 2008) – CNH (NYSE:CNH) is reaching out to support areas affected by devastating floods in the Midwest, including Burlington, Iowa, where the construction and agricultural equipment manufacturer operates a plant employing some 600 workers.

The total relief effort, including money and machinery – from the company and its dealers – is expected to have a total value of $1 million.

“Our hearts go out to Iowa residents who were hard-hit by the disaster and especially to our Burlington employees who lost their homes,” said Harold Boyanovsky, president and CEO of CNH. “We are poised to supply assistance that includes money and machinery.”

Earlier, two CNH brands responded to the emergency situation by making equipment available for fortifying levees along the swollen Iowa and Mississippi rivers. Case Construction Equipment arranged for the use of several crawler dozers in Oakville, Iowa and other trouble spots, including Green Bay Bottoms along the Mississippi River.

New Holland Construction provided a D95B dozer and M428 telehandler for levee fortification and clean-up operations.

CNH to Implement Surcharge of Five Percent

Company cites extraordinary increases in the price of steel, energy and other commodities

BURR RIDGE, Illinois – (June 23, 2008) – CNH Global N.V. (NYSE:CNH), a world leader in the agricultural and construction equipment businesses, has announced that, in response to sharp and sustained increases in its costs for steel, energy, commodities, and transportation, it will implement an approximate 5% across the board surcharge on the base price of all whole goods orders, including attachments and options of its Case IH Agriculture, New Holland Agriculture, Steyr, Case Construction, and New Holland Construction products.

The move follows price rises already introduced by many manufacturing companies worldwide.

Steel prices soared 40% to 50% this year and, according to some forecasters, they could rise even higher as raw material costs continue to climb and global demand for steel and other commodities shows little signs of abating.

“CNH will continue to work to lower our operational costs in manufacturing our leading products through the highly productive efforts of our people, the development and use of state of the art technologies, the implementation in all our industrial sites of the World Class Manufacturing production system and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Harold Boyanovsky, CNH Chief Executive Officer.

“Having implemented aggressive internal steps to manage these cost increases throughout our worldwide operations, we have now announced specific price increases. These increases will be shown separately on the invoices as a surcharge. Our global team has worked and will continue to work hard to improve the company’s financial results, and we have the responsibility to take all necessary actions to protect our bottom line and to benefit our employees, customers, dealers, and other stakeholders,” Mr. Boyanovsky added.
