to the offer by Tenedor Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (Purchaser), and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Manitou BF S.A., a French limited company (Société Anonyme) (Parent), to purchase all outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the Shares), of Gehl Company, a Wisconsin corporation (the Company), at a price of $30.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any required
withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions disclosed in the Tender Offer Statement, Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement and amended Schedule 13D Beneficial Ownership Statement on Schedule TO (the Schedule TO) and as set
forth in the Offer to Purchase dated September 7, 2008 (the Offer to Purchase) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the Offer),
which are annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.
This Amendment No. 5 is being filed by the
Company to amend and supplement Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9. Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference as relevant to the items in this Amendment.
