On January 5, 2017, Columbus McKinnon Corporation (the Company)
announced that it has received approval from the German
Bundeskartellamt regarding Columbus McKinnons acquisition of
Konecranes STAHL CraneSystems (STAHL) business. This approval was
the final condition for closing. The Company filed an 8K
regarding the acquisition of STAHL on December 7, 2016 under
Items 1.01 and 7.01.

With the European Commissions approval in late December 2016, the
closing of Konecranes acquisition of Terex Corporations Material
Handling and Port Solutions on January 4, 2017, and todays
approval from the German Bundeskartellamt, there are no
additional contingencies on the closing of the Companys
acquisition of STAHL. The acquisition is now expected to close on
or about January 31, 2017.

A copy of the press release issued in connection with such action
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
