ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.
On January 11, 2005, the Board of Directors of A.S.V., Inc. (the
"Company") elected Edward J. Rapp, Vice President of Caterpillar Inc.'s Building
Construction Products Division, as a new director of the Company. Mr. Rapp was
designated by Caterpillar to serve on the Company's Board of Directors in
accordance with the agreements currently in effect between the Company and
Caterpillar which permit Caterpillar to designate a number of directors
proportionate to its stock ownership in the Company.
At this time, the Company does not expect that Mr. Rapp will serve on
any Board committees, given his affiliation with Caterpillar.
