On November 19, 2018, directors Peter B. Hamilton and William S. Wallace notified Oshkosh Corporation (the “Company”) of their intention to retire from the Board of Directors of the Company effective as of the close of the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders in accordance with the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines relative to director retirement age.

 

On November 19, 2018, director Steven C. Mizell notified the Company of his decision to not stand for reelection to the Board at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders due to demands of a new position and scheduling conflicts that would make it difficult to attend the Company’s Board meetings.

 

After being so notified by Messrs. Hamilton, Wallace and Mizell, the Board acted to approve a reduction in the size of the Board from thirteen directors to ten directors effective as of the date of the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.  As a result of the Board’s action, the departures of Messrs. Hamilton, Wallace and Mizell will not result in any vacancy on the Board.
