AGCO and Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited (TAFE) signed a fourth amendment to their letter agreement on July 7, 2025. The amendment pushes the agreement's expiration from July 15, 2025 to November 28, 2025, or until funds and shares are deposited in escrow for the Buyback Agreement, whichever comes first. The companies say the extension allows previously disclosed settlement agreements, which resolve outstanding issues between them, to become fully effective.

Expiration could occur earlier if funds and shares are deposited in escrow for the Buyback Agreement, per AGCO's Form 8-K filed July 1, 2025.
The extension is intended to accommodate the settlement agreements that resolve outstanding issues between AGCO and TAFE.
The filing does not disclose financial amounts for the amendment or the settlement terms.
