As previously disclosed, on December 8, 1997, Oshkosh Truck
Corporation (the "Company") agreed to acquire McNeilus Companies, Inc.
("McNeilus"), a $300 million manufacturer and marketer of refuse truck bodies,

The Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar 1998.
Under certain conditions, if the Acquisition is not consummated, the Company

McNeilus may be required to pay a $10.0 million fee to the Company.
The total purchase cost for all McNeilus stock and related
non-compete and ancillary agreements is $250.0 million and is intended to be
financed through the issuance of $100.0 million senior subordinated notes and a
$325.0 million senior debt facility inclusive of a $100 million revolver and
senior notes of $100.0 million, $62.5 million and $62.5 million with terms of
