loaders, dump trucks, shaft sinking, and raise bore product lines. MTI's

purchase accounting charges, the Company expects the transaction to be
accretive to earnings in 2015. Completion of the transaction is subject to
customary closing conditions and is expected to occur within 90 days.
“This acquisition represents an exciting opportunity as we execute on our
growth strategy to expand our underground mining product lines into the hard
rock markets including nickel, potash, palladium, platinum, gold and copper,”
commented Ted Doheny, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that
MTI's broad range of complementary products, combined with Joy's proprietary
technology, our global direct service team and operational excellence
capabilities, will provide significant value to hard rock mining customers and
our shareholders,” continued Doheny.
