Item 1.02.  Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

Pursuant to its previously announced plans, on August 1, 2007, The Manitowoc Company exercised its early redemption option and repaid its 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012.  The total principal, call premium, accrued and unpaid interest amount paid and other related costs was $129 million.  The call premium paid to note holders was 105.25% of the principal amount of the notes.  The Bank of New York, trustee for the issue, redeemed the notes through its New York office.  Manitowoc generated proceeds for the redemption of the notes from its multi-currency revolving credit facility, its accounts receivable securitization facility and cash on hand.

As a result of the redemption, the related indenture dated August 8, 2002, by and among The Manitowoc Company, the guarantor subsidiaries thereunder and The Bank of New York, as trustee, terminated automatically as of August 1, 2007.

These matters are described in the press release that The Manitowoc Company issued on August 1, 2007, a copy of which is attached as an Exhibit to this filing.
