Captive Financing Unit of CNH Capital Will Serve Maserati U.S. Dealer Network
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. and RACINE, Wis. (January 8, 2006) — Maserati North America Inc. and CNH
Capital America LLC, the financial services business of agricultural and construction equipment
maker CNH Global N.V. (NYSE: CNH), today announced the formation of a captive finance unit,
Maserati Financial Services.
On November 1, 2006 Maserati Financial Services became the preferred financing source for Maserati
dealers throughout the U.S. Participating dealers will offer innovative lease and finance solutions
designed exclusively for Maserati customers. Maserati Financial Services will be staffed with a
team of dedicated specialists to service the purchasing needs of Maserati customers.
“With CNH Capital’s extensive experience in operating successful captive financing programs, we are
now able to offer Maserati customers a dedicated source of financial services. Maserati Financial
Services will focus on providing an experience commensurate with the Maserati brand,” said James
Selwa, President, Maserati North America. “Our customers deserve a committed effort that provides
favorable financing and leasing terms while boosting the brand’s aftermarket value through
innovative remarketing programs.”
CNH Capital is a leading global equipment financing organization, with 500,000 customers worldwide
and a network of over 12,000 dealers and distributors in the agriculture and construction markets.
The company supports CNH Global’s Case and New Holland family of brands worldwide.
“Maserati serves an important segment of the auto market for our parent company, Fiat SpA (FIA.MI;
NYSE: FIA), and we are uniquely positioned to help them as their line of luxury vehicles grows in
sales. Our expertise in serving highly specialized market segments is a good match for Maserati
customers’ finance needs,” said Steve Bierman, President, CNH Capital. “This is an exciting
opportunity to share in the growth of another member in the Fiat family of companies. It is
complementary to — but does not affect — our dedication to our agricultural and construction
equipment business.”
The expansion of CNH Capital’s expertise with the formation of Maserati Financial Services is not
expected to have an immediate material impact on CNH Global.
