AGCO, Your Agricultural Company (NYSE: AGCO), today announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer (the “offer”) to purchase any and all of the outstanding senior notes listed in the following table at the cash purchase price shown in the column titled “Purchase Price per $1,000 of Notes.”

Holders whose notes are purchased will also receive accrued and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the settlement date.

The offer is being made pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the offer, by calling (877) 297-1744 (toll free) or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550 or by email at agco@dfking.com. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are also available at the following web address: http://www.dfking.com/agco.

The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on May 7, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Tendered notes may be withdrawn at any time before the Expiration Time. Holders of notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their notes (or comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time to be eligible to receive the consideration for their notes.

Settlement for notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will occur promptly after the Expiration Time, which is expected to be May 8, 2018, assuming that the offer is not extended or earlier terminated. The settlement date for any notes tendered pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to be on May 10, 2018, subject to the same assumption.

The offer for the notes is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions satisfactory to AGCO. The offer is not conditioned upon any minimum amount of notes being tendered, and the offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn, subject to applicable law.
