On December 3, 2013, the board of directors of Joy Global Inc. (the “Company”) elected Edward L. Doheny, as a director, to serve a term expiring following the election and qualification of his successor at the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. Mr. Doheny, 51, is currently Executive Vice President of the Company and President and Chief Operating Officer of the Underground Mining Equipment division, and is expected to be elected President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to take effect later this month in connection with the Company’s previously announced leadership succession plan.
Mr. Doheny has served in his current position with the Company since 2006. Prior to joining Joy Global, he spent 20 years with Ingersoll-Rand Co. in a series of senior executive positions of increasing responsibility, including President of Industrial Technologies from 2003 to 2005, President of Shared Services in 2003 and previously as President of the Air Solutions Group.
Mr. Doheny will not receive compensation for service as a director apart from his compensation for service as an executive officer of the Company. Mr. Doheny is expected to be appointed to the Executive Committee of the board of directors at the time he becomes the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Neither Mr. Doheny nor any of his immediate family is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction for which disclosure would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
A copy of the Company’s press release regarding the election of Mr. Doheny is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
