Company News Alert

Significant decline in NYSE common stock price

NYSE BUY CNH Global N.V.’s (CNH) NYSE common stock price has depreciated significantly since our previous
update report, which we believe is primarily due to the implementation of a 5.0% surcharge on the
Common base price of the company’s products in order to offset rising material cost and transportation costs.
The decline in the NYSE common stock can also be attributable to weak equity market over the last
Stock week. In view of recent increases in raw material costs such as steel, energy and commodities, we
expect that margins will be under pressure in the medium term. However, we believe that the company
will continue to benefit from increased farm income in FY 2008 and increased spending in agricultural
activity will fuel demand for agricultural equipment. In view of this we maintain our medium-term
outlook for the company and do not anticipate a change in our current rating for the NYSE common
Ticker: CNH stock. We continue to take a 6-12 month investment horizon for this stock as the market in which CNH
Target price: US$51.44 operates is highly cyclical and therefore trends can be captured more accurately with a shorter
investment horizon
Current price: US$33.89
We will reassess the NYSE common stock rating after the company announces its 2Q 08 results on 23
Price change (20.2%)
July 2008.

European BUY Our fundamental outlook remains strong and we continue to anticipate a significant currency impact
on the European stock over the medium term. Hence, we do not anticipate a change in our current
Stock1 European stock rating.
Ticker: CNH.F
Target price: €30.32
Current price: €21.40

In our 1Q 08 update report, dated 05 June 2008, we upgraded the CNH NYSE common stock from a
HOLD to a BUY, with a target price of US$51.44 and a potential upside of 21.0%. The CNH NYSE
common stock has depreciated by 20.2% since. We believe that the decline in the company’s stock
price is partly attributable to weak equity markets and the decision to raise prices for its products. On
23 June 2008, CNH announced that it will levy a 5.0% surcharge on a range of its products due to
rising steel, energy, other commodity prices and higher transportation costs. We believe, while the
increase in prices will offset some margin decline for the company on account of higher raw material
costs, any decline in demand due to such surcharge may lead to poor financial performance. We
continue to expect that increased farm income in 2008 would lead to increased spending on
agricultural activity and increase demand for agricultural equipment. Furthermore CNH’s new product
launches will enable the company to benefit from ongoing growth opportunities in the agricultural
market. The rising price of agricultural commodities is leading to an expansion of output, which will
drive demand for agricultural equipment, going forward. In view of this, we believe that it is highly
unlikely that demand will taper off during the current year and we maintain our positive outlook for the
company.
