On September 19, 2012, Michael S. Olsen, the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Joy Global Inc. (the "Company"), notified the Company of his intention to retire on February 1, 2013. In connection with Mr. Olsen's pending retirement, James M. Sullivan will join the Company as an Executive Vice President on October 1, 2012. Following the completion of the Company's fiscal 2012 reporting process in December 2012 and prior to Mr. Olsen's retirement date, the Board of Directors of the Company expects to appoint Mr. Sullivan as the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

Mr. Sullivan, 52, previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Solutia, Inc., a global manufacturer of performance materials and specialty chemicals, from 2004 until its acquisition by Eastman Chemical Company in July 2012.

At the time of his departure, Mr. Sullivan was responsible for Solutia's finance activities, including controllership, internal audit, investor relations, tax, treasury, risk management, credit and collections, acquisitions and divestitures and information technology.

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither Mr. Sullivan nor any of his immediate family members is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. If the Board of Directors appoints Mr. Sullivan as the Company's Chief Financial Officer as expected, the Company will disclose compensation arrangements in connection with such appointment by amending this Current Report at such time.
