Our business

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer of International ^® brand commercial and military trucks, IC Bus™ (“IC”) brand buses, MaxxForce^® brand diesel engines and recreational vehicles (“RVs”) under the Monaco^® (“Monaco”) family of brands, as well as a provider of service parts for all makes of trucks and trailers. Additionally, we are a private-label designer and manufacturer of diesel engines for the pickup truck, van, and sport utility vehicle (“SUV”) markets. We also provide retail, wholesale, and lease financing of our trucks and parts.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2012 and fiscal 2011, our manufacturing operations had net sales of manufactured products to third parties of approximately $9,540 million and $13,758 million, respectively, manufacturing EBITDA (as defined below) of approximately $(400) million and $571 million, respectively, and net (loss) income attributable to Navistar International Corporation of approximately $(241) million and $1,723 million, respectively. See “Supplemental financial and operating data” and Note (5) thereto for a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA for these periods and “Selected consolidating financial data.”

We market our commercial products primarily through our extensive independent dealer network in North America, which offers a comprehensive range of services and other support functions to our end users. Our commercial trucks are distributed in virtually all key markets in North America as well as select markets outside of North America through our distribution and service network comprised, as of October 31, 2011, of 783 U.S. and Canadian dealer and retail outlets, 84 Mexican dealer locations, and 107 international dealer locations. Parts are delivered to our customers either through one of our eleven regional parts distribution centers in North America or through direct shipment from our suppliers for parts not generally stocked at our distribution centers. We provide certain financial services to our customers and dealers through NFC and our foreign finance operations.

We operate in four industry segments: Truck, Engine, Parts (collectively called “manufacturing operations”), and Financial Services, which consists of NFC and our foreign finance operations (collectively called “financial services operations”). Corporate contains those items that do not fit into our four segments.

Engine Segment

The Engine segment designs and manufactures diesel engines across the 50 through 550 horsepower range under the MaxxForce brand name for use primarily in our International branded Class 6 and 7 medium trucks, Class 8 heavy trucks, and military vehicles. The Engine segment also produces diesel engines for all IC and Monaco applications. In addition to providing high-tech diesel engines for Navistar captive applications, our engines are also sold to global OEMs for various on-and-off-road applications. Our engines are sold in all areas of the world for use in an assortment of applications utilizing the MaxxForce brand name. Also, we offer contract manufacturing services to OEMs for the assembly of their engines. The Engine segment is our second largest operating segment based on total external sales and revenues, and has manufacturing operations in the United States, Brazil and Argentina.

Parts Segment

The Parts segment supports our brands of International commercial and military trucks, IC buses, MaxxForce engines, as well as our other product lines, by providing customers with proprietary products together with a wide selection of other standard truck, trailer, and engine service parts. We distribute service parts in North America and the rest of the world through the dealer network that supports our Truck and Engine segments.

Financial Services Segment

The Financial Services segment provides and manages retail, wholesale, and lease financing of products sold by the Truck and Parts segments and their dealers within the U.S. and Mexico. Substantially all revenues earned by the Financial Services segment are derived from supporting the sales of our vehicles and products. We also finance wholesale and retail accounts receivable, of which substantially all revenues earned are received from the Truck and Parts segments. The Financial Services segment continues to meet the primary goal of providing and managing financing to our customers in U.S. and Mexico markets by arranging cost effective funding sources, while working to mitigate credit losses and impaired vehicle asset values. This segment provided wholesale financing for 90% and 96% of our new truck inventory sold by us to our dealers and distributors in the U.S. in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.

Our business strategy

Our core business is the North American truck and bus market, where we participate primarily in the Class 6, 7 and 8 vehicle market segments. We believe that a fundamental factor in achieving success in these markets is the integration of engines into our trucks. Historically we had success in the bus and Class 6 and 7 truck segments due to the integration of our engines in these

S-3

vehicles. In 2009, we expanded our engine offering to include a heavy duty big bore engine branded MaxxForce 11-L or 13-L which was offered in our Class 8 vehicles. We believe that an effective vertical integration of engines into trucks is the best method to create product differentiation and value as it distinguishes product performance and creates an expanded stream of revenue for service parts over the life cycle of the vehicle. We also recently expanded our truck product offering to include a Class 4 and 5 vehicle and believe this will be an important element of our growth going forward.

Emissions regulation is a key element of our industry. Historically, a fundamental driver of our strategy was to leverage Advanced Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”), which we believed to be an advantage in meeting these regulations, with a proprietary engine technology path that eliminated the need for additional after treatment components on our vehicles, which utilizes urea-based Selective Catalytic Reduction (“SCR”).

We failed to achieve Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) certification of this technology path to meet 2010 EPA emission standards for our heavy duty engines and as a result, in June 2012, we decided to change the direction of our engine emissions strategy. We are now aggressively pursuing the technology path followed by others in the industry by adding SCR components to our engines and our vehicles. We expect to introduce these products to market beginning in December 2012.

In addition to modifying our technology path to meet emissions regulations, we decided to discontinue investment in certain heavy duty engines and instead purchase these engines from a proven and established engine OEM supplier and discontinue product development on our MaxxForce 15-L Big-Bore engine. We expect to introduce trucks with these engines to the market beginning in December 2012. We believe the offering of a proven and market-accepted 15-L engine combined with our trucks will allow us to increase the number of customers who purchase our vehicles, which will enhance our share of the Class 8 market.

We continue to believe that with our new engine strategy, our products will demonstrate superior performance as measured by fuel economy and that we will be successful in recapturing market share.

We renewed our focus on our primary markets, which are North American Class 4-8 Trucks and Buses, and realigned the Company around a more functionally-oriented structure in order to reduce costs and overhead expense. We also implemented a new Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) methodology to determine where we will focus our investments as well as identify businesses that do not return their cost of capital.

Our primary focus in the near term is to execute the change in our engine strategy and to improve the quality of our products. We redeployed the majority of our resources to focus on this direction.

We are realigning our management structure around the functional expertise needed to execute our core North American strategy. We believe this realignment will result in better execution of our strategies and tactics, streamline the decision making process, create better alignment towards a common objective, and reduce our operating costs.

Additionally, we are using a ROIC decision framework to re-examine our individual businesses. This effort is ongoing, and will mostly likely lead to some divestures of businesses that are not contributing favorably to our goals.

S-4

Emission standards compliance update

We continue to be impacted by challenges related to our strategy for meeting 2010 Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) emission standards. The past months have included a number of significant events related to these efforts, including:

•

In July 2012, we announced our next generation clean engine solution to meet 2010 EPA emissions standards. The strategy combines EGR and SCR.

•

On October 22, 2012, we announced a definitive agreement with Cummins Inc. (“Cummins”) for Cummins Emission Solutions to supply its urea-based after-treatment system to us. This after-treatment system will be combined with our engines to meet 2010 EPA emissions standards and we expect it to help facilitate our satisfaction of future green house gas (“GHG”) standards such as those applicable to medium and heavy duty engines and vehicles being phased in for model years 2014 to 2017. In addition to our agreement with Cummins, we continue to refine plans and timelines to begin introducing the new product offering, taking into consideration a number of factors, including: current and projected balances of emission credits currently used to meet EPA emission standards; our ability to utilize non-conformance penalties (“NCPs”) to achieve compliance; projected sales volumes; and customer needs. We maintain our target of a phased-in product introduction plan commencing with the MaxxForce 13-L engine in April 2013, followed by the MaxxForce 11-L engines, and then medium engine offerings.

•

As part of our expanded relationship with Cummins, we expect to offer the Cummins ISX15 engine, which currently meets EPA emission standards, in certain models. We expect that the Cummins ISX15 engine will be offered as a part of our North American on-highway truck line-up beginning in December 2012.

We believe that our new engine strategy provides a path to meeting 2010 EPA emission standards, as well as GHG standards, and positions us for future success. This will help to address distractions and uncertainty around engine certification and continuation of heavy duty product offerings that had a detrimental impact on our performance, including a deterioration of market share. In the near term, we expect to be further impacted during the transition to our engine strategy. For example, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant research and development and tooling costs to design and produce our engine product lines to meet the EPA and California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) on-highway heavy-duty diesel (“HDD”) emission standards, including the required on-board diagnostics (“OBD”). These emission standards have resulted in and will continue to result in a significant increase in the cost of our products. In addition, the ongoing nature of our transition to a new engine strategy creates the potential for gaps in our product offerings that could further impact our results.

With the anticipated introduction of Cummins ISX15 offering, we decided to cease future production of our MaxxForce 15-L engines in fiscal 2013. These decisions, together with other actions, will result in expected charges of approximately $25 million to $30 million, net of tax, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and early fiscal 2013, which includes accelerated depreciation, inventory obsolescence, vendor minimum volume charges and potential asset impairments.

S-5

Factors impacting our fourth quarter fiscal 2012 results

We currently expect that operating results for our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 will be impacted by a number of factors, including those summarized below:

Adjustments to pre-existing warranties

Our warranty costs have been higher in fiscal 2012 compared to prior years as a result of increased engine volumes due to the exclusive use of our MaxxForce Big-Bore engines in our “traditional” product offerings, as well as higher estimated warranty costs per unit. We recognized material charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $123 million and $104 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively. These adjustments related to the unanticipated increase in warranty spend for certain 2007 and 2010 emission standard engines. Component complexity associated with meeting the emission standards has contributed to higher repair costs than historically experienced. While we continue to improve the design and manufacturing of our engines to reduce the volume and severity of warranty claims, preliminary warranty data for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 has shown an increase over prior periods that could result in additional pre-tax charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $60 million to $75 million.

Cost reduction actions and other strategic initiatives

In August 2012, we announced actions to control spending across the Company with targeted reductions of certain costs. In addition to the expected integration synergies resulting from ongoing efforts to consolidate our Truck and Engine engineering operations, as well as the relocation of our world headquarters to Lisle, Illinois, we are focusing on continued reductions in discretionary spending, including but not limited to reductions from efficiencies, and prioritizing or eliminating certain programs or projects. We offered the majority of our U.S.-based non-represented salaried employees the opportunity to apply for a voluntary separation program (“VSP”). Along with the employees who chose to participate in the VSP, we used attrition and an involuntary reduction in force to eliminate additional positions in order to meet our targeted reductions goal. In addition to these actions in the U.S., our Brazilian operations are utilizing an involuntary reduction in force to eliminate positions.

As a result of these actions and the separation and elimination of certain executive-level positions and consultants, we estimate that in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and early fiscal 2013 we will incur restructuring and other charges of approximately $65 million to $75 million, net of tax. We will have recognized most of these charges by October 31, 2012. We expect the workforce reductions will be fully implemented by early 2013 and, as a result, we estimate approximately $175 million in annual cost savings beginning in fiscal 2013.

We continue to evaluate options to improve the efficiency and performance of our operations. Our focus is on improving our core North American Truck, Engine and Parts performance. We are evaluating opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize our cost structure, which could include, among other actions, additional rationalization of our manufacturing operations and/or divesting of non-core businesses. These actions could result in additional restructuring and other related charges during

S-6

the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013, including but not limited to, impairments, employee termination costs and charges for pension and other post retirement contractual benefits and pension curtailments, and these charges could be significant.

Income tax valuation allowances

We have a significant amount of deferred tax assets, the majority of which are not currently subject to a valuation allowance as of July 31, 2012. On a quarterly basis, we are required to evaluate the need to establish a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that current or deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. We give appropriate consideration to all available evidence, both positive and negative, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance with respect to certain federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets that we believe on a more-likely-than-not basis will not be realized based on forecasted results. Based on our current domestic performance, as well as the risks associated with our strategy for meeting 2010 EPA emission standards, we also believe that it is reasonably possible that a significant additional U.S. deferred tax assets valuation allowance may be required in the next 12 months. Future events that may contribute to the need to establish an additional U.S. deferred tax assets valuation allowance include, but are not limited to: (1) continued deterioration of our domestic performance, (2) significant engine warranty charges and (3) adverse developments with respect to our strategy for meeting 2010 EPA emission standards. Any establishment of a valuation allowance with respect to our U.S. deferred tax assets could have a material adverse effect on our net income (loss) during the period in which it is established.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, our evaluation resulted in the determination that a significant portion of our valuation allowance with respect to our Canadian deferred tax assets could be released. As a result of our analysis, we recognized an income tax benefit of $181 million from the release of valuation allowances. Similarly, during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, our evaluation resulted in the determination that a significant portion of our valuation allowance with respect to our U.S. deferred tax assets could be released. As a result, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.5 billion and an adjustment to additional paid in capital of $45 million as a result of the release of a portion of the valuation allowance with respect to our U.S. deferred tax assets.

Other recent developments

New directors

In connection with settlement agreements we reached with two of our significant stockholders, Icahn Partners and its affiliates (the “Icahn Group”) and MHR Fund Management, LLC and its affiliates (the “MHR Group”), effective October 8, 2012, we appointed their respective designees, Mr. Vincent J. Intrieri and Dr. Mark H. Rachesky, to our board of directors. On October 15, 2012, we also appointed Mr. John C. Pope to our board of directors. These new directors replaced three of our incumbent directors, each of whom retired from our board of directors. The Icahn Group and the MHR Group have the right to appoint an additional mutually agreed upon director nominee to our board in replacement of an incumbent director. Under the settlement

S-7

agreements, the Icahn Group and the MHR Group each agreed, among other things, that they will not run a proxy contest at our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders and will support the board’s director nominees.

New financing arrangements

In August 2012, Navistar, Inc. borrowed $1.0 billion under a new senior secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and used a portion of the proceeds therefrom to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its prior asset-based credit facility. The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is July 16, 2014, unless prior to that date we redeem or otherwise extinguish no less than $470 million of our 3% senior subordinated convertible notes due 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a manner permitted by the Term Loan Facility, in which case the Term Loan Facility will mature on August 17, 2017. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly amortization payments of $2.5 million, with the balance due at maturity.

We also entered into an amended and restated asset-based credit facility (the “New ABL Facility”) that provides for borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $175 million. The maturity date of the New ABL Facility is July 16, 2014, unless prior to that date the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is extended to, or the Term Loan Facility is replaced with, a new facility with a scheduled maturity date of August 17, 2017 or later, in which case the New ABL Facility will mature on May 18, 2017. As of September 30, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding under this facility. See “Description of certain indebtedness—Manufacturing operations.”

As a result of these new financing arrangements, we estimate that, as of October 31, 2012, our manufacturing operations cash and cash equivalents will be in the upper-half of the previously disclosed range of $875 million to $1,025 million without giving effect to this offering.

SEC inquiry

On June 21, 2012, we received an informal inquiry from the Chicago Office of the Enforcement Division of the SEC seeking a number of categories of documents for the periods dating back to November 1, 2010, relating to various accounting and disclosure issues. We are cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry. On July 16, 2012, pursuant to a formal order of private investigation, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting the same categories of documents sought via the informal inquiry. To date, we have produced certain documents and intend to continue our full cooperation with the SEC in this matter. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this matter or provide meaningful quantification of how the final resolution of this matter may impact our future consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have undertaken a number of restructuring initiatives over the last several years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, we reached an agreement with Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) to restructure our ongoing business relationship and settle all existing litigation between us and Ford (the “Ford Settlement”). With the changes in Ford’s strategy, we announced our intention to close the Indianapolis Engine Plant (“IEP”) and Indianapolis Casting Corporation foundry (“ICC”). In the first quarter of 2011, we committed to a plan for the consolidation of the truck and engine engineering operations as well as the relocation of our world headquarters (collectively “engineering integration”). In the third quarter of 2011, we committed to plans for the restructuring of certain North American manufacturing operations. These plans included the planned closure of our Chatham, Ontario heavy truck plant and a restructuring plan of our Workhorse Custom Chassis (“WCC”) and Monaco recreational vehicles operations (collectively “Custom Products”), including the closure of the Union City, Indiana chassis facility and the wind-down and transfer of certain operations at the recreational vehicle motor coach plant in Coburg, Oregon (collectively “restructuring of our North American manufacturing operations”). In the second quarter of 2012, we decided to discontinue accepting orders for our WCC business and take certain actions to idle the business.

Set forth below is a summary of the restructuring charges we recorded for each of the periods presented:

•

In the nine months ended July 31, 2012, restructuring charges were primarily related to a lease vacancy charge related to the relocation of our world headquarters;

•

In the nine months ended July 31, 2011, restructuring charges primarily related to our engineering integration and the relocation of our world headquarters;

•

For fiscal 2011, restructuring charges primarily related to the restructuring of our North American manufacturing operations and our engineering integration;

•

In fiscal 2010, the $15 million benefit related to restructuring activity and primarily consisted of a $16 million benefit due to the favorable settlement of a portion of contractual obligations related to the IEP and ICC restructuring, and a $10 million benefit due to reversal of remaining restructuring accrual for ICC as a result of our decision to continue operations at ICC, which benefits were partially offset by $9 million of restructuring charges for personnel costs for employee termination related benefits resulting from the ratification of by the United Automobile, Aerospace and

S-13

Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) represented employees ratification of a new four-year labor agreement that replaced the prior contract that expired October 1, 2010; and

•

In fiscal 2009, we recognized $59 million of restructuring charges related to the Ford Settlement.

(3)

In the nine months ended July 31, 2012, as a result of the decision in the second quarter of 2012 to idle the WCC business we recognized $38 million of charges for the impairment of certain intangible assets. Of these impairment charges, the Truck and Parts segments recognized $28 million and $10 million, respectively. In fiscal 2011, we recognized $64 million of impairment charges related to certain intangible assets and property plant and equipment primarily related to our WCC Chassis plant in Union City, Indiana and Chatham, Ontario heavy truck plant facility. In fiscal 2009, the Truck segment recognized $26 million and $5 million of charges for impairments of property and equipment related to asset groups at our Chatham and Conway facilities, respectively.

Collectively represents our partially-owned affiliates of which our ownership percentages in the 12 other affiliates range from 10% to 50%. We do not control these affiliates, but have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies.

(5)

The financial measures of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Navistar International Corporation are not calculated in accordance with, or an alternative to measures that are calculated in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that adjusted net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Navistar International Corporation, which exclude the impact of certain items that are not considered to be part of our ongoing business, improve the comparability of year to year results, and are more representative of our underlying performance. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in these reconciliations, and to provide an additional measure of our performance. Certain non-GAAP adjustments and the related tax effect of those adjustments have been modified from prior presentations to reflect management’s view of our underlying performance.

The charges recognized by our manufacturing operations have primarily been recognized by our Truck segment.

(b)

Restructuring of North American manufacturing operations are impairment charges, restructuring charges, and other related charges that are primarily related to our ongoing restructuring plans related to our plans to close our Chatham, Ontario heavy truck plant and WCC chassis plant in Union City, Indiana, and to significantly scale back operations at our Monaco recreational vehicle headquarters and motor coach manufacturing plant in Coburg, Oregon. In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred charges of $38 million for the impairment of certain intangible assets. For the nine months ended July 31, 2012, the associated tax impact was an income tax benefit of $15 million. Our Truck and Parts segments recognized charges of $28 million and $10 million, respectively.

(c)

During the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, the Company incurred charges of $123 million and $104 million, respectively, for adjustments to pre-existing warranties. For the nine months ended July 31, 2012, the associated tax impact was an income tax benefit of $89 million.

(e)

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, we had an unfavorable ruling related to a 2010 administrative change that we made to the prescription drug program under our OPEB plan affecting plan participants who are Medicare eligible. As a result, we recognized approximately $15 million of expense for postretirement benefits, and the associated tax impact was an income tax benefit of $6 million.

(f)

Other restructuring charges are charges not related to our engineering integration and relocation of our world headquarters or the restructuring of our North American manufacturing operations (both of which are discussed above):

•

For the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and fiscal 2011, the other restructuring charges primarily related to charges of $5 million incurred at Springfield, and the associated income tax benefit of $2 million;

•

For fiscal 2010, other restructuring charges represented a benefit and primarily included $16 million due to the favorable settlement of a portion of contractual obligations related to the IEP and ICC restructuring, and a $10 million benefit due to reversal of remaining restructuring accrual for ICC as a result of our decision to continue operations at ICC, which benefits were partially offset by $9 million of restructuring charges for personnel costs for employee termination related benefits resulting from the ratification of by the UAW represented employees ratification of a new four-year labor agreement that replaced the prior contract that expired October 1, 2010; and

•

For fiscal 2009, we recognized $59 million of restructuring charges related to the Ford Settlement, and an associated income tax benefit of $1 million.

(g)

In fiscal 2009, the Truck segment recognized $26 million and $5 million of charges for impairments of property and equipment related to asset groups at our Chatham and Conway facilities, respectively.

(h)

The associated tax impact was an income tax benefit of $2 million.

(i)

We realized a number of non-recurring gains in fiscal 2009 as outlined below:

•

We completed the purchase of certain assets of the recreational vehicle business of Monaco Coach Corporation in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. We recognized an extraordinary gain of $23 million due to the fair market value of the assets acquired in the Monaco acquisition exceeding the purchase price.

•

We recognized a gain of $23 million in Other income (expense), net in connection with the increased equity interest in the BDP joint venture.

•

We reversed a previously recorded warranty liability of $75 million, which was recorded as a reduction of Costs of products sold, in connection with the Ford Settlement.

•

We recorded a gain of $200 million in Other expense (income), net related to the cash settlement payment we received from Ford in connection with the Ford Settlement.

•

The associated tax impact of the above adjustments was an income tax expense of $6 million.

(j)

In the nine months ended July 31, 2012, we recognized an income tax benefit of $181 million from the release of a significant portion of our income tax valuation allowance on our Canadian deferred tax assets. In the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and fiscal 2011, we recognized an income tax benefit of $1.476 billion and $1.537 billion, respectively, from the release of a significant portion of our income tax valuation allowance on our domestic deferred tax assets.

S-15

(6)

Current maturities of long-term debt as of July 31, 2012 were comprised of $356 million of indebtedness of our manufacturing operations and $1,060 million of indebtedness of our financial services operations.

(7)

Exclusive of equipment that we have leased to others.

(8)

Manufacturing gross margin is calculated by subtracting Costs of products sold from Sales of manufactured products, net and dividing that amount by Sales of manufactured products, net.

(9)

We define our “traditional” markets to include U.S. and Canada School bus and Class 6 through 8 medium and heavy truck, including militarized commercial vehicles sold to the U.S. and Canadian militaries.

(10)

We calculated our approximate retail delivery market share percentages, for our “traditional” truck market, based on market-wide information from Wards Communications and R.L. Polk & Co.

(11)

We define orders as written commitments received from customers and dealers during the year to purchase trucks. Net orders represent new orders received during the year less cancellations of orders made during the same year. Orders do not represent guarantees of purchases by customers or dealers and are subject to cancellation. Orders may be either sold orders, which will be built for specific customers, or stock orders, which will generally be built for dealer inventory for eventual sale to customers. These orders may be placed at our assembly plants in the U.S. and Mexico for destinations anywhere in the world and include trucks, buses, and military vehicles. Historically, we have had an increase in net orders for stock inventory from our dealers at the end of the year due to a combination of demand, and from time to time we offer incentives to the dealers. Increases in stock orders typically translate to higher chargeouts for our Truck segment and increased dealer inventory.

(12)

We define order backlogs (“backlogs”) as orders yet to be built as of the end of the period. Our backlogs do not represent guarantees of purchases by customers or dealers and are subject to cancellation. Although the backlog of unbuilt orders is one of many indicators of market demand, other factors such as changes in production rates, internal and supplier available capacity, new product introductions, and competitive pricing actions may affect point-in-time comparisons. Order backlogs exclude units in inventory awaiting additional modifications or delivery to the end customer.

(13)

We define chargeouts as trucks that have been invoiced to customers. The units held in dealer inventory represent the principal difference between retail deliveries and chargeouts.

(14)

Includes 4,800 units during both the nine months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 and 6,700 units, 3,800 units, and 1,100 units for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, related to BDT.

Supplemental financial and operating data

Navistar International Corporation (with financial services operations on an after-tax equity basis)

The following tables set forth certain supplemental financial and operating data of our manufacturing operations with our financial services operations set forth on an after-tax equity basis of accounting. Our manufacturing operations, for this purpose, include our Truck, Engine and Parts segments and Corporate items, which includes certain eliminations. We have included this supplemental financial and operating data to assist prospective investors in evaluating an investment in the common stock being offered in this offering. This information does not represent our financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial data that has been prepared in accordance with GAAP that has been included or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement. We have reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements by adding the results of our financial services operations, making the necessary adjustments to eliminate certain intercompany transactions between our manufacturing operations and financial services operations and adjusting for certain reclassifications. These reconciliations are included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement under the heading “Selected Consolidating Financial Data.” Certain of our subsidiaries in our manufacturing operations have debt outstanding with our financial services operations.

The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” for fiscal 2011 and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for fiscal 2011, and with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” for the third quarter of fiscal and our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the nine months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

EBITDA for our manufacturing operations is defined as consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Navistar International Corporation minus the net income (loss) from our financial services operations plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA for our manufacturing operations is defined as our EBITDA for our manufacturing operations plus those adjustments described below in notes (e) through (l). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used and are presented to aid in developing an understanding of the ability of our operations to generate cash for debt service and taxes, as well as cash for investments in working capital, capital expenditures and other liquidity needs. This information is presented as a supplement to the other data provided because it provides information which we believe is useful to investors for additional analysis. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or other consolidated operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of our profitability or liquidity as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Navistar International Corporation to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Risk factors

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations would suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking statements.”

Risks relating to Navistar and its markets

Our solutions for meeting U.S. federal and state emissions requirements may not be successful or may be more costly than planned.

Truck and engine manufacturers continue to face significant governmental regulation of their products, especially in the areas of environment and safety. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant research, development, and tooling costs to design and produce our engine product lines to meet the EPA and CARB on-highway HDD emission standards that have reduced the allowable levels of nitrogen oxide (“NOx”) to the current limit of 0.20g NOx and include the required OBD. The regulations requiring OBD began the initial phase-in during 2010 for truck engines and are a part of our product plans. These changes in emission standards have resulted in and will continue to result in potential uncertainties in our ability and/or a significant increase in the cost of our products to meet these emission standards.

In 2011 and 2010, certain of our HDD engine families met EPA and CARB certification requirements by using emission credits we earned by producing low-NOx engines earlier than was required by the EPA. We also began using NCPs for trucks using certain of our HDD engines in 2012. As described in more detail below, the need to use NCPs, any inability to continue to utilize NCPs, and the rate at which we use our emission credits could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources, or cash flows.

In January 2012, the EPA promulgated the Interim Final Rule establishing NCPs for HDD engines. In June 2012, the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that the EPA did not follow the required rulemaking processes and issued an order vacating the Interim Final Rule. The Company, as an intervenor in that action, asked for a rehearing and in August 2012, the D.C. Circuit Court denied that request. The Court’s ruling became final on August 24, 2012. Following that decision, some of our competitors filed a lawsuit asking the D.C. Circuit Court to invalidate the emission certificates issued to us under the Interim Final Rule. The D.C. Circuit Court has not yet ruled on this matter and we cannot assure you that the court will rule in our favor.

Also in January 2012, the EPA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for a final NCP rule (the “Final Rule”), which would make NCPs available in model years 2012 and later for emissions of NOx above the 0.20g limit. On August 30, 2012, the EPA approved the Final Rule and it became effective upon publication in the Federal Register on September 5, 2012. Under the Final Rule, the maximum NCP per engine is $3,775, and is subject to an upward annual adjustment. It is possible that the Final Rule will be challenged by our competitors, and we cannot provide assurances that the Final Rule will be upheld in the event of such a challenge.

S-21

Currently, CARB, and the corresponding agencies of nine other states that have adopted California’s emission standards, do not make available engine certification using NCPs. Therefore, we continue to sell engines and trucks in these ten states (the “10 CARB States”) using the NOx emission credits previously described. Under current conditions and at the current pace of HDD engine production, however, our emission credits for heavy HDD engines will be consumed sometime in 2013. Unless CARB (and the corresponding agencies of the nine other states) begin allowing NCPs for engine sales, we will not be able to sell trucks with our HDD engines in the 10 CARB States after our credits are consumed until CARB certifies our HDD engines to the 0.20g NOx standard.

We submitted to the EPA and to CARB applications for a 0.20g NOx engine certificate for one 13-L engine family during the first half of 2012, but after discussions with both agencies, we withdrew both applications in July 2012. We announced in July 2012 that we are changing our engine emission strategy from an EGR-only strategy to a strategy incorporating both EGR and SCR after-treatment systems. We plan to apply this engine strategy to our medium and heavy duty engines. On October 22, 2012, we announced a definitive agreement with Cummins under which Cummins Emission Solutions will supply its SCR after-treatment system. As a part of our expanded relationship with Cummins, we plan to offer the Cummins ISX 15 liter engine (the “Cummins 15L”).

Our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected based on numerous factors relating to our HDD engine strategy, as well as our shorter-term plans for continued use of engines using EGR pending the full implementation of the HDD engine strategy. Some of those factors include, but are not necessarily limited to, the incurrence of additional costs associated with this change. Further, we cannot assure you that we will successfully implement this strategy within the anticipated timelines.

We currently anticipate commencing the phasing in of the Cummins 15L engine in December 2012, the new EGR and SCR engines beginning with the highest volume 13L engines in April 2013 and our lower volume 13L engines later in 2013 in stages. We may experience product gaps in our offerings in the 10 CARB States for certain of these engines prior to full introduction of our EGR and SCR engines. The duration of the gaps will be dependent on a number of factors including but not limited to our ability to execute as planned, the availability of emissions credits, and our ability to comply with the testing protocols required to utilize NCPs under the Final Rule.

As a condition to NCP certification, the EPA requires us to submit the engines to certain testing protocols to establish that the engines to be certified are no greater than 0.50g NOx, the content of which we are currently discussing with the EPA. Should our engines fail to meet the standard under the testing protocols, unless and until remediated, this result could have material adverse consequences.

In addition, the OBD implementation may cause delays in shipments of certain mid-range engine families in the month of January 2013 until they are resolved.

Any of the above risks that could result in product gaps or that relate to the implementation and availability of the Final Rule could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. Although the foregoing describes those scenarios which we can reasonably anticipate, we can offer no assurances that other outcomes will not occur or that the effects of the scenarios described above will not be more severe than we currently anticipate.

S-22

Increased warranty costs may negatively impact our near term operating results.

Our warranty costs have been higher in fiscal 2012 compared to prior years as a result of increased engine volumes due to the exclusive use of our MaxxForce Big-Bore engine, as well as higher estimated warranty costs per unit. We recognized material charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties of $123 million and $104 million in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2012, respectively. These adjustments related to the unanticipated increase in warranty spend for certain 2007 and 2010 emission standard engines. Component complexity associated with meeting the emission standards has contributed to higher repair costs than historically experienced. While we continue to improve the design and manufacturing of our engines to reduce the volume and severity of warranty claims, preliminary warranty data for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 has shown an increase over prior periods that could result in additional pre-tax charges for adjustments to pre-existing warranties totaling $60 million to $75 million. These charges may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We could incur restructuring and impairment charges as we continue to evaluate opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize the cost structure.

We continue to evaluate opportunities to restructure our business and rationalize our manufacturing operations in an effort to optimize the cost structure which could include, among other actions, additional rationalization of our manufacturing operations. These actions could result in restructuring and related charges, including but not limited to asset impairments, employee termination costs and charges for pension and other post retirement contractual benefits, including potential additional pension funding obligations, and pension curtailments that could be significant, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we estimate that, among other charges, we will incur restructuring charges related to workforce reduction actions. See “Summary—Factors impacting our fourth quarter fiscal 2012 results.”

We have substantial amounts of long-lived assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, which are subject to periodic impairment analysis and review. Identifying and assessing whether impairment indicators exist, or if events or changes in circumstances have occurred, including market conditions, operating results, competition and general economic conditions, requires significant judgment. A result of any of the above future actions could result in charges that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business has significant liquidity requirements, and our recent operating results have had an adverse impact on our liquidity position.

Our business has significant liquidity requirements, and our recent operating results have had an adverse impact on our liquidity position. To improve our liquidity position, we recently borrowed $1.0 billion under our new Term Loan Facility and, as of July 31, 2012 on a pro forma basis giving effect to that borrowing and this offering, our manufacturing operations would have had cash and cash equivalents of $1,401 million. We believe that our cash on-hand after this offering, together with funds generated by our operations and potential borrowings under our New ABL Facility, will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our working capital, capital expenditures and other operating needs for the foreseeable future. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, however, including, among other things, assumptions relating to North American truck volumes for 2013 and the successful implementation of our revised

S-23

engine strategy, and that there will be no material adverse developments in our competitive market position, business, liquidity or capital requirements. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our operating needs. In the event that we do not have sufficient liquidity, we may be required to seek additional capital, reduce or cut back our operating activities or otherwise alter our business strategy.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, our cash flow and our operating flexibility.

Our significant amount of outstanding indebtedness and the covenants contained in our debt instruments could have important consequences for our operations. The size and terms of our Term Loan Facility significantly limits our ability to obtain additional debt financing to fund future working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, engineering and product development costs, and other general corporate requirements. Other consequences for our operations could include:

•

increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•

limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a portion of these funds to make significantly higher interest payments on our indebtedness;

•

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

•

limiting our ability to take advantage of business opportunities as a result of various restrictive covenants in our indebtedness; and

•

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.

Our ability to make required payments of principal and interest on our debt will depend on our future performance and the other cash requirements of our business. Our performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide any assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available under certain of our debt agreements in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness.

Our debt agreements contain certain restrictive covenants and customary events of default. These restrictive covenants limit our ability to take certain actions, such as, among other things: make restricted payments; incur additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock; create liens; create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments or distributions; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; engage in mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of our assets; designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries; make certain dispositions and transfers of assets; place limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make distributions; enter into transactions with affiliates; and guarantee indebtedness. One or more of these restrictive covenants may limit our ability to execute our preferred business strategy, take advantage of business opportunities or react to changing industry conditions.

Upon an event of default, if not waived by our lenders, our lenders may declare all amounts outstanding as due and payable, which may cause cross-defaults under our other debt obligations. If our current lenders accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness, we may not have

S-24

sufficient capital available at that time to pay the amounts due to our lenders on a timely basis, and there is no guarantee that we would be able to repay, refinance or restructure the payments on such debt. Further, under our Term Loan Facility and our New ABL Facility the lenders would have the right to foreclose on certain of our assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Upon the occurrence of a “change of control” as specified in each of the principal debt agreements of our manufacturing operations, we are required to offer to repurchase or repay such indebtedness. Under these agreements, a “change of control” is generally defined to include, among other things: (a) the acquisition by a person or group of at least 35 percent of our common stock (50 percent for our Convertible Notes), (b) a merger or consolidation in which holders of our common stock own less than a majority of the equity in the resulting entity, or (c) replacement of a majority of the members of our board of directors by persons who were not nominated by our current directors. Under our New ABL Facility and our Term Loan Facility, a change in control would result in an immediate event of default, which would allow our lenders to accelerate the debt owed to them. Under the indentures or loan agreements for our debt securities, we may be required to offer to purchase the outstanding notes under such indentures at a premium upon a change in control. In any such event, we may not have sufficient funds available to repay amounts outstanding under these agreements, which may also cause cross-defaults under our other debt obligations. Further, under our New ABL Facility and our Term Loan Facility, the lenders would have the right to foreclose on certain of our assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Past and potential further downgrades in our debt ratings may adversely affect our liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets.

The major debt-rating agencies routinely evaluate and rate our debt according to a number of factors, among which are our perceived financial strength and transparency with rating agencies and timeliness of financial reporting. On August 1, 2012, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded our corporate family rating, probability of default rating and senior note rating to B2 from B1 with a negative outlook. On September 17, 2012, Fitch Ratings downgraded its issuer default ratings for us to CCC from B-, with a negative outlook, citing the increasing risk around our cash flow. Any further downgrade in our credit ratings and the negative publicity as a result of any such further downgrades could adversely affect our continued access to trade credit on customary terms as well as our ability to access capital in the future upon acceptable terms and conditions.

We have significant under-funded postretirement obligations.

The under-funded portion of our projected benefit obligation was $1.8 billion and $1.5 billion for pension benefits at October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1.5 billion and $653 million for postretirement healthcare benefits at October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Moreover, we have assumed expected rates of return on plan assets and growth rates of retiree medical costs and the failure to achieve the expected rates of return and growth rates, as well as reductions in interest rates, could have an adverse impact on our under-funded postretirement obligations, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, the continued restructuring and rationalization of our business could increase our pension funding obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The volatility in the financial markets affects the valuation of our pension assets and liabilities, resulting in potentially higher pension costs and higher levels of under-funding in future periods. The requirements set forth in

S-25

the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as applicable to our U.S. pension plans (including such timing requirements) mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 to fully fund our U.S. pension plans, net of any current or possible future legislative or governmental agency relief, could also have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows even though the recently enacted pension funding relief legislation Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 and the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act have reduced our funding requirements over the next five years.

We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from our cost saving initiatives.

We have recently implemented a number of cost saving initiatives, including the consolidation of our Truck and Engine engineering operations, the relocation of our world headquarters to Lisle, Illinois, continued reductions in discretionary spending and employee headcount reductions. We expect these actions will result in significant operating cost savings, which we estimate will be approximately $175 million for fiscal 2013. In addition, we continue to evaluate additional options to improve the efficiency and performance of our operations. For example, we are evaluating opportunities to restructure our business in an effort to optimize our cost structure, which could include, among other actions, rationalization of certain of our manufacturing operations and/or divesting non-core businesses. We have made certain assumptions in estimating the anticipated impact of our cost saving initiatives. These assumptions may turn out to be incorrect due to a variety of factors. In addition, our ability to realize the expected benefits from these initiatives is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. Some of our cost saving measures may not have the impact on our profitability that we currently project. If we are unsuccessful in implementing these initiatives or if we do not achieve our expected results, our results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

A small number of our stockholders have significant influence over our business.

In October 2012, we entered into settlement agreements with two of our significant stockholders, the Icahn Group and the MHR Group. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, in October 2012 the Icahn Group and the MHR Group each had one nominee appointed to our board of directors and to the nominating and governance committee of our board in replacement of two incumbent directors. Additionally, the Icahn Group and the MHR Group have the right to appoint a third mutually agreed upon director nominee to our board in replacement of an incumbent director. These director nominees will be included for election as directors at our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. Our board of directors will remain at 10 members so long as either the Icahn Group or the MHR Group continues to have a designee on the board. See “Summary—Other recent developments—New directors.”

As of October 22, 2012, based on filings made with the SEC and other information made available to us, we believe the Icahn Group held 14.94% of our outstanding common stock and the MHR Group held 14.98% of our outstanding common stock, and that the Icahn Group, the MHR Group and two other stockholders collectively held over 50% of our common stock.

As a result of the foregoing, these few stockholders are able to exercise significant influence over the election of our board of directors as well as matters requiring stockholder approval. Further, this concentration of ownership may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

S-26

Our business may be adversely affected by government contracting risks.

We derived approximately 13%, 15%, and 25% of our revenues for 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, from the U.S. government. Many of our existing U.S. government contracts extend over multiple years and are conditioned upon the continuing availability of congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal-year basis and if the congressional appropriations for a program under which we are contractors are not made, or are reduced or delayed, our contract could be cancelled or government purchases under the contract could be reduced or delayed, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Although we have submitted multiple bids and quotes, there are no guarantees that they will be awarded to us in the future or that volumes will be similar to volumes under previously awarded contracts. In addition, U.S. government contracts generally permit the contracting government agency to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, either for the convenience of the government or for default based on our failure to perform under the contract. If a contract is terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to the payment of our allowable costs and an allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our government contracts were to be terminated for default, we could be exposed to liability and our ability to obtain future contracts could be adversely affected.

Federal regulations and fuel economy rules may increase costs.

Additional changes to on-highway emissions or performance standards as well as compliance with additional environmental requirements are expected to add to the cost of our products and increase the capital-intensive nature of our business. In that regard, the EPA and the Department of Transportation have issued final rules on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy for medium and heavy duty vehicles and engines. The standards establish required minimum fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions levels for both engines and vehicles primarily through the increased use of existing technology. The rules, which apply to our engines and vehicles, initially come into effect in 2014 and are fully implemented in model year 2017. These standards will increase costs of development for engines and vehicles and administrative costs arising from implementation of the standards. In addition, other regulatory proposals under consideration may adversely affect our business.

We may not achieve all of the expected benefits from our recent acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances.

Over the last several years, we have completed a number of acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances as part of our business strategy. We cannot provide any assurances that these acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances will generate all of the expected benefits. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that we will not have disputes arise with our joint venture partners and that such disputes will not lead to litigation or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the joint ventures or our relationships with our joint venture partners. Failure to successfully manage and integrate these acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances could materially impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In light of our recent operating results, we are currently evaluating opportunities to restructure our business in an effort to optimize our cost structure, which could include, among other actions, rationalization of certain of our recent acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances.

S-27

Our products are subject to export limitations and we may be prevented from shipping our products to certain nations or buyers.

We are subject to federal licensing requirements with respect to the sale and support in foreign countries of certain of our products and the importation of components for our products. In addition, we are obligated to comply with a variety of federal, state and local regulations and procurement policies, both domestically and abroad, governing certain aspects of our international sales and support, including regulations promulgated by, among others, the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Defense and State and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Such licenses may be denied for reasons of U.S. national security or foreign policy. In the case of certain large orders for exports of defense equipment, the Department of State must notify Congress at least 15 to 30 days, depending on the size and location of the sale, prior to authorizing certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments. During that time, Congress may take action to block the proposed sale. We can give no assurances that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that Congress will not prevent or delay certain sales. Any significant impairment of our ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

For products and technology exported from the U.S. or otherwise subject to U.S. jurisdiction, we are subject to U.S. laws and regulations governing international trade and exports, including, but not limited to International Traffic in Arms Regulations, Export Administration Regulations, the Foreign Military Sales program and trade sanctions against embargoed countries, and destinations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury. A determination by the U.S. government that we have failed to comply with one or more of these export controls or trade sanctions could result in civil or criminal penalties, including the imposition of significant fines, denial of export privileges, loss of revenues from certain customers, and debarment from participation in U.S. government contracts.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other laws which prohibit improper payments to foreign governments and their officials by U.S. and other business entities. We operate in countries known to experience corruption. Our operations in such countries create the risk of an unauthorized payment by one of our employees or agents which could be in violation of various laws including the FCPA.

Additionally, the failure to obtain applicable governmental approval and clearances could materially and adversely affect our ability to continue to service the government contracts we maintain. Exports of some of our products to certain international destinations may require shipment authorization from U.S. export control authorities, including the U.S. Departments of Commerce and State, and authorizations may be conditioned on end-use restrictions.

Our international business is also highly sensitive to changes in foreign national priorities and government budgets. Sales of military products are affected by defense budgets (both in the U.S. and abroad) and U.S. foreign policy.

We must comply with numerous miscellaneous federal national security laws, procurement regulations, and procedures, as well as the rules and regulations of foreign jurisdictions, and our failure to comply could adversely affect our business.

We must observe laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of federal government contracts that affect how we do business with our clients

S-28

and impose added costs on our business. For example, the Federal Acquisition Regulations, foreign government procurement regulations and the industrial security regulations of the Department of Defense and related laws include provisions that:

•

allow our government clients to terminate or not renew our contracts if we come under foreign ownership, control or influence;

•

allow our government clients to terminate existing contracts for the convenience of the government;

•

require us to prevent unauthorized access to classified information; and

•

require us to comply with laws and regulations intended to promote various social or economic goals.

We are subject to industrial security regulations of the U.S. Department of State, Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense and other federal agencies that are designed to safeguard against foreigners’ access to classified or restricted information. As we expand our operations internationally, we will also become subject to the rules and regulations of foreign jurisdictions. If we were to come under foreign ownership, control or influence, we could lose our facility security clearances, which could result in our federal government customers terminating or deciding not to renew our contracts and could impair our ability to obtain new contracts.

A failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or procedures, including federal regulations regarding the procurement of goods and services and protection of classified information, could result in contract termination, loss of security clearances, suspension or prohibition from contracting with the federal government, civil fines and damages and criminal prosecution and penalties, any of which would materially adversely affect our business.

The markets in which we compete are subject to considerable cyclicality.

Our ability to be profitable depends in part on the varying conditions in the truck, bus, mid-range diesel engine, and service parts markets, which are subject to cycles in the overall business environment and are particularly sensitive to the industrial sector, which generates a significant portion of the freight tonnage hauled. Truck and engine demand is also dependent on general economic conditions, interest rate levels and fuel costs, among other external factors.

We operate in the highly competitive North American truck market.

The North American truck market in which we operate is highly competitive. Our major U.S.-controlled domestic competitors include: PACCAR and Ford. The competing foreign-controlled domestic manufacturers include: Freightliner and Western Star (both subsidiaries of Mercedes Benz), and Volvo and Mack (both subsidiaries of Volvo Global Trucks). The major U.S. military vehicle competitors include: BAE Systems, Force Protection, Inc., General Dynamics Land Systems, and Oshkosh Truck. In addition, smaller, foreign-controlled market participants such as Isuzu, UD Trucks (formerly known as Nissan North America, Inc.), Hino (a subsidiary of Toyota), and Mitsubishi compete in the U.S. and Canadian markets with primarily imported products. In Mexico, the major domestic competitors are Kenmex (a subsidiary of PACCAR) and Mercedes Benz.

The intensity of this competition, which is expected to continue, results in price discounting and margin pressures throughout the industry and adversely affects our ability to increase or

S-29

maintain vehicle prices. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage in responding to substantial industry changes, such as changes in governmental regulations that require major additional capital expenditures. In addition, certain of our competitors may have lower overall labor costs.

Our ability to execute our strategy is dependent upon our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel.

Our continued success depends, in part, on our ability to identify, attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel in key functions and geographic areas. In particular, we are dependent on our ability to identify, attract, motivate, train and retain qualified engineers with the requisite education, background and industry experience who can assist the development, enhancement and introduction of new products and technology solutions. Further, we have significant operations in foreign countries, including Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, India and Canada, and, to effectively manage our global operations, we will need to continue to be able to recruit, train, assimilate, motivate and retain qualified experienced employees around the world.

Failure to attract, train and retain qualified personnel, whether as a result of an insufficient number of qualified local residents, difficulty in recruiting and retaining expatriates to service new global markets, or the allocation of inadequate resources to training, integration and retention of qualified personnel, could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and could have an adverse effect on our business prospects. In addition, our operations or our ability to execute our business strategy may be negatively impacted if we lose key personnel in connection with our voluntary separation program announced in August 2012, and we are unable to replace the experience, skills and knowledge base of such key personnel in a timely manner.

Our manufacturing operations are dependent upon third-party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages.

We obtain materials and manufactured components from third-party suppliers. Some of our suppliers are the sole source for a particular supply item. Any delay in receiving supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and, accordingly, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The volatility in the financial markets and uncertainty in the automotive sector could result in exposure related to the financial viability of certain of our key third-party suppliers. Suppliers may also exit certain business lines causing us to find other suppliers for materials or components, or delay our ability to deliver products to customers, or our suppliers may change the terms on which they are willing to provide products, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations . In addition, many of our suppliers have unionized workforces which could be subject to work stoppages as a result of labor relations issues.

We are exposed to political, economic, and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business.

We have significant operations in foreign countries, primarily in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and India. We are also developing operations in the People’s Republic of China. Accordingly, our business is subject to the political, economic, and other risks that are inherent in operating in those countries and internationally. These risks include, among others:

•

trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

•

tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceed those in the U.S., and the imposition of foreign withholding taxes on the remittance of foreign earnings to the U.S.;

S-30

•

difficulty in staffing and managing international operations and the application of foreign labor regulations;

•

multiple and potentially conflicting laws, regulations, and policies that are subject to change;

•

currency exchange rate risk; and

•

changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets.

We may discover defects in vehicles potentially resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, or increased warranty costs.

Meeting or exceeding many government-mandated safety standards is costly and often technologically challenging, especially where one or more government-mandated standards may conflict. Government safety standards require manufacturers to remedy defects related to motor vehicle safety through safety recall campaigns, and a manufacturer is obligated to recall vehicles if it determines that they do not comply with a safety standard. Should we or government safety regulators determine that a safety or other defect or noncompliance exists with respect to certain of our vehicles, there could be a delay in the launch of a new model or a significant increase in warranty claims, the costs of which could be substantial.

Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor relations matters.

We are subject to risk of work stoppages and other labor relations matters because a significant portion of our workforce is unionized. As of October 31, 2011, approximately 55% of our hourly workers and 5% of our salaried workers are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Many of these agreements include provisions that limit our ability to realize cost savings from restructuring initiatives such as plant closings and reductions in workforce. Our current collective bargaining agreement with the UAW will expire in October 2014. Any strikes, threats of strikes, arbitration or other resistance in connection with the negotiation of new labor agreements or otherwise could materially adversely affect our business as well as impair our ability to implement further measures to reduce structural costs and improve production efficiencies. A lengthy strike that involves a significant portion of our manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are involved in pending litigation and an adverse resolution of such litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. The results of complex legal proceedings are often uncertain and difficult to predict. An unfavorable outcome of a particular matter described in our periodic filings or any future legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are currently involved in a number of pending litigation matters. For additional information regarding certain lawsuits in which we are involved, see our 2011 Annual Report, Item 3, Legal Proceedings, and Note 15, Commitments and contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements contained therein, and our Third Quarter 10-Q, Note 12, Commitments and contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements contained therein, all of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

S-31

Our ability to benefit from deferred tax assets could be negatively impacted if we are not able to generate sufficient income.

We have a significant amount of deferred tax assets, the majority of which are not subject to a valuation allowance. We are required to evaluate the need to establish a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets based on our assessment of whether it is more likely than not that current or deferred tax benefits will be realized through the generation of future taxable income. Any establishment of a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that could result in liabilities to us.

Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing discharges to air and water; the management and disposal of hazardous substances; the cleanup of contaminated sites; and health and safety matters. We could incur material costs, including cleanup costs, civil and criminal fines, penalties and third-party claims for property damage or personal injury as a result of violations of our liabilities under such laws and regulations. Contamination has been identified at and in the vicinity of some of our current and former properties for which we have established financial reserves. The ultimate cost of remediating contaminated sites is difficult to accurately predict and could exceed our current estimates. For example, along with the current operator, we are addressing contamination associated with our formerly owned Solar Turbines Site in San Diego, California. While we believe that we have adequate accruals to cover the costs of the ongoing cleanup, we and other parties may be required to conduct additional investigations and remediation in the area, including with respect to any impacts identified in nearby bay sediments. As a result, we also could incur material costs in excess of current reserves at these or other sites as a result of additional cleanup obligations imposed or contamination identified in the future. In addition, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations have tended to become stricter, we could incur additional costs complying with requirements that are promulgated in the future.

Risks related to our common stock and this offering

Provisions in our charter and by-laws, our stockholder rights plan and Delaware law could delay and discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, and applicable provisions of Delaware corporate law, may make it more difficult for or prevent a third party from acquiring control of us or changing our board of directors and management. These provisions include:

•

the ability of our board of directors to issue so-called “flexible” preferred stock;

•

a classified board of directors (which has the effect under Delaware law of precluding shareowners from removing directors without cause);

•

a limitation on the ability to fill board vacancies to only the remaining directors;

•

the inability of stockholders to act by written consent or call special meetings;

•

advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders;

S-32

•

the affirmative vote of holders of the greater of (a) a majority of the voting power of all common stock and (b) at least 85% of the shares of common stock present at a meeting is required to approve certain change of control transactions; and

•

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally restricts us from engaging in certain business combinations with a person who acquires 15% or more of our common stock for a period of three years from the date such person acquired such common stock, unless stockholder or board approval is obtained prior to the acquisition.

In addition, the fact that our ability to utilize our tax net operating losses and research and development tax credits could be adversely affected by a change of control could have an anti takeover effect.

We have a stockholders rights plan, which may be triggered if any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of or announces an offer to acquire 15% or more of our common shares.

The foregoing provisions may adversely affect the marketability of the common stock by discouraging potential investors from acquiring our stock. In addition, these provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, or impede an attempt to acquire a significant or controlling interest in us, even if such events might be beneficial to us and our stockholders.

Possible volatility in the price of our common stock increases the risk of your investment.

Numerous factors may significantly affect the market price for our common stock. Such factors include the announcement of new products or other strategic initiatives by us or our competitors, technological innovations by us or our competitors, the growth and expansion of our business, trends and uncertainties affecting the truck manufacturing industry as a whole, issuances and repurchases of common stock, quarterly variations in our operating results or the operating results of our competitors, investors’ expectations of our prospects, changes in earnings estimates by analysts or reported results that vary materially from such estimates and general economic and other conditions, including the cyclical nature of our business. In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price fluctuations. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since 1980 and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain our earnings, if any, to use in our ongoing operations. In addition, the terms of the agreements governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, our board of directors has the authority to issue one or more series of preferred stock without action of the stockholders. Although we have no present plan to issue any additional series of preferred stock or preference shares, the issuance of any additional series could also have the effect of limiting dividends on the common stock.

Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional shares.

S-33

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, certain members of the MHR Group have the right to demand up to three registrations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for shares of our common stock held by such investors, subject to certain limitations. In addition, members of the MHR Group party to the registration rights agreement are entitled to certain piggyback registration rights with respect to the registration of shares of our common stock. By exercising their registration rights or otherwise selling a large number of shares on the open market, these holders could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

In the future, we may also issue our securities if we need to raise capital in connection with a capital raise or acquisitions. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with a capital raise or acquisition could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of our common stock.

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this offering and we may not use these proceeds effectively. This could affect our profitability and cause our stock price to decline.

Management and our board of directors will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we are using the proceeds appropriately. We currently intend to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which we expect to include funding capital expenditures and strategic initiatives. We may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase our market value, which could cause our stock price to decline.

S-36

Use of proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $190 million (or approximately $218 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), based on the assumed public offering price of $19.85 per share (the closing price of our common stock on October 22, 2012).

We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which we expect to include funding capital expenditures and strategic initiatives. At this time, we have not specifically identified a large single use for which we intend to use the net proceeds, and, accordingly, we are not able to allocate the net proceeds among any potential uses in light of the variety of factors that will impact how such net proceeds will ultimately be utilized by us. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

Pending use of the proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the proceeds in short-term, investment-grade and interest-bearing instruments or money market funds.

S-37

Description of capital stock

The following description of our capital stock is a summary. You should keep in mind, however, that it is our certificate of incorporation, including any certificates of designations or retirement that are a part of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), and not this summary, which define your rights as a securityholder. There may be other provisions in these documents that are also important to you. You should read these documents for a full description of the terms of our capital stock. Our certificate of incorporation, including any certificates of designations or retirement, and our bylaws are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. See “Where you can find more information” for information on how to obtain copies of these documents.

Overview

Our authorized capital stock consists of 286 million shares, of which 220 million shares are designated as common stock, with a par value of $0.10 per share, 26 million shares are designated as class B common stock, with a par value of $0.10 per share, 30 million shares are designated as preferred stock, with a par value of $1.00 per share and 10 million shares are designated as preference stock, with a par value of $1.00 per share.

Common stock

The authorized common stock consists of 220 million shares, of which 68,590,627 shares were issued and outstanding and 6,758,815 shares were held in treasury at September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we had reserved for issuance: (i) approximately 7.9 million shares of our common stock under our various stock option plans, stock discount purchase plans and other award plans for officers, employees and directors, of which options to purchase approximately 5.7 million shares were outstanding; and (ii) 39,501 shares issuable upon the conversion of our series D preference stock.

Dividend rights and restrictions. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, provided that, so long as any shares of preferred stock and preference stock are outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends payable in common stock) or other distributions (including purchases) may be made with respect to the common stock unless full cumulative dividends, if any, on the shares of preferred stock and preference stock have been paid. Under the DGCL, dividends may only be paid out of surplus or out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year, and no dividend may be paid on common stock at any time during which the capital of outstanding preferred stock or preference stock exceeds our net assets.

Voting rights. Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share for the election of directors and on any question arising at any shareowners meeting. The United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”), as holder of the series B preference stock, is entitled to elect one member to our board of directors. See “—Preferred stock and preference stock.”

Liquidation rights. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of us, holders of common stock are entitled to receive after satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors (including holders of our indebtedness) and holders of preferred stock and preference stock, all of our remaining assets available for distribution.

S-43

Miscellaneous. The holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive, redemption or subscription rights. Computershare Investor Services is the transfer agent and the registrar for the common stock.

Listing. Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NAV.”

Preferred stock and preference stock

We are authorized to issue preferred stock and preference stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series upon authorization by our board of directors. The board of directors, without further approval of the shareowners, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to each series of preferred stock and preference stock. The issuance of preferred stock and preference stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of us, discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock. We have no present plans to issue any additional series of preferred stock or preference stock.

Two series of preference stock are currently outstanding. Three million shares of convertible junior preference stock, series D are authorized, of which 126,403 shares were outstanding as of September 30, 2012. At that date, one share of nonconvertible junior preference stock, series B was authorized and outstanding and was held by the UAW.

Series D preference stock. Holders of shares of series D preference stock are entitled to receive accrued dividends, if any, if and when declared by the board of directors, in the amount of 120 percent of the dividend (on an as-converted basis) declared on common stock, other than a dividend payable solely in shares of common stock. Holders of series D preference stock have the right at their option to convert shares of the series D preference stock into shares of common stock at any time at a conversion rate of 0.3125 of a share of common stock for each share of series D preference stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. The series D preference stock is redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at our option upon at least 30 days’ advance written notice at the price of $25 per share plus accrued dividends. Generally, holders of series D preference stock do not have any voting powers, except as provided by law and except that holders of at least two-thirds of the number of shares outstanding must approve any adverse amendment, alteration or repeal of the preferences, special rights or powers of series D preference stock. Before any distribution to holders of common stock or of any other of our stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the series D preference stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of the series D preference stock are entitled to receive $25 per share plus accrued dividends.

Series B preference stock. In connection with a 1993 restructuring of our post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits pursuant to a settlement agreement, the UAW was issued the series B preference stock. As the holder of the series B preference stock, the UAW is entitled to elect one member of our board of directors until such time as we have fully funded our liability under the health care and life insurance benefits program (subject to such right revesting if such funding later falls below 85% of the fully funded amount). The series B preference stock is not transferable by the UAW, does not have any voting rights other than as described above or as

S-44

required by law, does not have the right to receive dividends or distributions and is redeemable for a nominal price at such time as the UAW has not been entitled to elect a director for five consecutive years.

One series of preferred stock is authorized. 220,000 shares of junior participating preferred stock, series A are authorized, of which none were outstanding as of September 30, 2012.

Junior participating preferred stock, series A. Holders of junior participating preferred stock, series A are entitled to receive accrued quarterly dividends in an amount equal to the greater of (1) $25.00 and (2) 1,000 times (subject to adjustment) the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, plus 1,000 times (subject to adjustment) the aggregate per share amount of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable solely in shares of common stock, declared on the common stock. The junior participating preferred stock, series A ranks junior to all other series of our preferred stock. The junior participating preferred stock, series A is not redeemable.

In the event that we are in arrears in payment of dividends or distributions on the junior participating preferred stock, series A and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions are paid in full, we may not, subject to certain exceptions:

•

declare or pay any dividends on, or make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase any shares of stock ranking junior to or on parity with the junior participating preferred stock, series A; or

•

purchase any shares of junior participating preferred stock, series A or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the junior participating preferred stock, series A.

Holders of junior participating preferred stock, series A are entitled to 1,000 votes per share (subject to adjustment) of junior participating preferred stock, series A on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. In the event that we are in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends with respect to the junior participating preferred stock, series A and until such time as all accrued and unpaid dividends on shares of junior participating preferred stock, series A are paid, all holders of junior participating preferred stock, series A or any preferred stock that is similarly in arrears, voting as a single class, shall have the right to elect two individuals to our board of directors. Holders of at least two-thirds of the number of shares of junior participating preferred stock, series A outstanding must approve any adverse amendment, alteration or repeal of the preferences, special rights or powers of the junior participating preferred stock, series A.

Before any distribution to holders of common stock or of any other of our stock ranking junior upon liquidation to the junior participating preferred stock, series A upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of the junior participating preferred stock, series A are entitled to receive an amount equal to $1,000 per share of junior participating preferred stock, series A plus accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon. Following such payment, the holders of the junior participating preferred stock, series A will receive no further distributions until the holders of our common stock have received an amount per share equal to the amount per share received by the holders of the junior participating preferred stock, series A as described above, divided by 1,000 (subject to adjustment). Following this payment to the holders of our common stock, the holders of the junior participating preferred stock, series A and our common stock are entitled to receive their ratable share of our remaining assets in a ratio of 1,000 (subject to adjustment) to one, respectively.

S-45

In the event of any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which our common stock is exchanged for or changed into other cash, stock and/or any other property, then the shares of junior participating preferred stock, series A will at the same time be exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to 1,000 times (subject to adjustment) the aggregate amount of cash, stock and/or any other property received in respect of each share of common stock in such transaction.

Rights plan

Overview. On June 19, 2012, the board of directors of NIC authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2012 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share (a “Unit”) of a newly authorized series of Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.00 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $140.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment (the “Purchase Price”). The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of June 19, 2012, between the Company and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, as Rights Agent, as amended.

Rights certificates; exercise period. Initially, the Rights will be attached to all shares of common stock then outstanding, and no separate rights certificates (“Rights Certificates”) will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Rights Agreement, the Rights will separate from the common stock and a distribution date (a “Distribution Date”) will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (the “Stock Acquisition Date”), other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company or certain inadvertent actions by certain stockholders or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as the board shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. For purposes of the Rights Agreement, beneficial ownership is defined to include ownership of derivative securities.

Until a Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the certificates for the common stock (or, in the case of shares reflected on the direct registration system, by the notations in the book-entry account system) and will only be transferable with such common stock, (ii) new common stock certificates issued after the Record Date will contain a legend incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for common stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the common stock represented by such certificates. Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company reserves the right to require prior to the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below) that, upon any exercise of Rights, a number of Rights be exercised so that only whole shares of Preferred Stock will be issued.

The Rights are not exercisable until a Distribution Date and will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time on June 18, 2013, unless such date is extended or the Rights are earlier redeemed, exchanged or terminated.

As soon as practicable after a Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the common stock as of the close of business on a Distribution Date and, thereafter, the

S-46

separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the board, only shares of common stock issued prior to a Distribution Date will be issued with Rights.

Flip-in trigger. In the event that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, except pursuant to an offer for all outstanding shares of common stock which the independent directors determine to be fair and not inadequate and to otherwise be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders after receiving advice from one or more investment banking firms, each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence of the event set forth in this paragraph, all Rights that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. However, Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of the event set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below. Any person who, together with its affiliates and associates, beneficially owns 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the time of the first public announcement of the Rights Agreement (an “Exempt Person”) shall not be deemed an Acquiring Person, but only for so long as such person, together with its affiliates and associates, does not become the beneficial owner of a higher percentage of shares of common stock then outstanding (other than as a result of a reduction of shares of common stock due to repurchases or certain other actions by the Company) as compared to the percentage of shares of common stock outstanding beneficially owned by such Exempt Person as of the initial time of adoption of the Rights Agreement. A person will cease to be an Exempt Person if such person, together with such person’s affiliates and associates, becomes the beneficial owner of less than 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Flip-over trigger. In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, (ii) the Company engages in a merger or other business combination transaction in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the common stock of the Company is changed or exchanged, or (iii) 50% or more of the Company’s assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which have previously been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The events set forth in this paragraph and in the second preceding paragraph are referred to as the “Triggering Events.”

Exchange feature. At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding common stock, the board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to adjustment).

Equitable adjustments. The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Units of Preferred Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a dividend on the Preferred Stock payable in shares of Preferred Stock, a subdivision or split of outstanding shares of Preferred

S-47

Stock, a combination or consolidation of Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares through a reverse stock split or otherwise, or reclassification of the Preferred Stock, (ii) if holders of the Preferred Stock are granted certain rights, options or warrants to subscribe for Preferred Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the Preferred Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Preferred Stock of cash (excluding regular quarterly cash dividends), assets, evidences of indebtedness or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above).

With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. No fractional Units will be issued and, in lieu thereof, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of the Preferred Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

Redemption rights. At any time until ten business days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.001 per Right (payable in cash, common stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the board). Immediately upon the action of the board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.001 redemption price.

Miscellaneous. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no separate rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends in respect of Rights. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for common stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company or in the event of the redemption of the Rights as set forth above.

Amendment. Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the board prior to a Distribution Date. After a Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by the board in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights, or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment may be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable.

Recent amendments. Effective as of October 5, 2012, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Rights Agreement to, among other things, permit certain discussions among board members and their affiliates under the Rights Agreement. Amendment No. 1 also amends the definition of “Beneficial Owner” to provide, among other things, that a Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) that is a director or who has designated a director would not be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Company (1) beneficially owned by certain other Persons as a result of certain described activities or conduct or (2) that a director acquired from the Company as part of the director’s compensation.

Effective as of October 5, 2012, the Company and the Rights Agent also entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Rights Agreement to amend the definition of “Acquiring Person” to clarify that an “Exempt Person” remains an “Exempt Person” so long as such person does not become the beneficial owner of a number of shares of common stock greater than the number of shares beneficially owned by such Exempt Person as of the initial time of adoption of the Rights Plan.

S-48

Effective as of October 19, 2012, the Company and the Rights Agent entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Rights Agreement to amend the definition of “Acquiring Person” to clarify that an “Exempt Person” remains an “Exempt Person” so long as such person does not become the beneficial owner of a higher percentage of shares of common stock then outstanding (other than as a result of a reduction of shares of common stock due to repurchases or certain other actions by the Company) as compared to the percentage of shares of common stock outstanding beneficially owned by such Exempt Person as of the initial time of adoption of the Rights Agreement.

Certain certificate of incorporation and by-laws provisions; certain provisions of Delaware law

General. Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors. We are also subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. As described above under “—Preferred stock and preference stock,” the ability of the board of directors to issue so-called “flexible” preferred stock may also have an anti-takeover effect. In addition, the fact that our utilization of our NOLs could be adversely affected by a change of control could have an anti-takeover effect.

Classified board; board vacancies. The certificate of incorporation provides for the board of directors to be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three year terms, excluding the director elected by the UAW as the holder of our series B preference stock. See “ —Preferred stock and preference stock.” Although we are in the process of declassifying our board of directors, we will not be completely declassified until our 2014 annual meeting of stockholders, at which time all of our directors would be annually elected. Until such time as we are completely declassified, the overall effect of the provisions in the certificate of incorporation with respect to the staggered board may be to render more difficult a change in control of us or the removal of incumbent directors. Under the DGCL, since we have a classified board, the shareowners may only remove the directors for cause. A majority of the remaining directors elected by the holders of common stock then in office (and not shareowners), though less than a quorum, is empowered to fill any vacancy on the board of directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock or preference stock issued by us have a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors (such as the holder of the series B preference stock), the number, election, term of office, filling of vacancies, terms of removal and other features of such directorships are governed by the terms relating to such rights.

Special meetings of shareowners; action by written consent. The certificate of incorporation provides that no action may be taken by shareowners except at an annual or special meeting of shareowners, and prohibits action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our by-laws provide that special meetings of shareowners may be called only by the chairman of the board and chief executive officer or by the board of directors. This provision will make it more difficult for shareowners to take action opposed by the board of directors.

Advance notice procedures Our by-laws include an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting

S-49

may only consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on both the date of the required written notice and the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting.

Approval of supermajority transactions. As a result of the settlement agreement relating to the 1993 restructuring of our post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits, our certificate of incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of holders of the greater of (a) a majority of the voting power of all common stock or (b) at least 85% of the shares of common stock present at a meeting is required to approve a supermajority transaction. Accordingly, any holder of 15% or more of the aggregate outstanding common stock represented at any meeting of shareowners will be able to block any supermajority transaction. A supermajority transaction is defined to include several transactions that would constitute a change of control of our company.

Certain provisions of Delaware law. We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, the law prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. “Business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

Term loan credit facility

In August 2012, NIC and Navistar, Inc. entered into the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion, with the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative and collateral agent for the lenders. The maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is July 16, 2014, provided that if, prior to such date, in accordance with the terms of the indenture for the Company’s Convertible Notes, either (i) the Convertible Notes (other than Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $100 million) shall have been redeemed or repurchased and canceled or defeased in compliance with the Term Loan Facility and, pursuant to the terms of the indenture for the Convertible Notes, shall have ceased to be outstanding, or (ii) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited with the Convertible Notes trustee in trust for payment to the Convertible Note holders, or irrevocably delivered to such holders, as applicable, cash funds and/or (in the case of conversion) shares of common stock sufficient to pay all amounts due or deliverable on all Convertible Notes (other than Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $100 million), in which case the Term Loan Facility will mature on August 17, 2017.

The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in certain assets of NIC, Navistar, Inc., and certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries as more fully described in the credit agreement for such facility, and contains customary provisions for financings of this type, including, without limitation, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is not cured within any specified grace period, the administrative agent, at the request of (or with the consent of) the lenders holding not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding term loans, may declare the term loan to be due and payable immediately. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to a base rate plus a spread of 450 basis points or a Eurodollar rate plus a spread of 550 basis points with a LIBOR floor of 150 basis points.

Under the Term Loan Facility, it is an immediate event of default if we experience a change of control. In general, the Term Loan Facility contains a customary definition of change of control, which includes: (i) the acquisition by any person or group, directly or indirectly, of 35% or more of NIC’s outstanding voting securities, (ii) the board of directors of NIC ceases to be comprised of a majority of individuals that were either on the board as of the date of the Term Loan Facility or whose appointment or election were approved by a majority of directors then in office; (iii) a plan of liquidation of either NIC or Navistar, Inc. has been approved or adopted; (iv) NIC consolidates with or merges with or into another person and its stockholders cease to own at least a majority of the common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such consolidation or merger; (v) NIC or Navistar, Inc., directly or indirectly, sells, assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all of its property or assets; (vi) NIC ceases to own all of the capital stock of Navistar, Inc.; or (vii) the occurrence of a “change of control”, “change in control” or similar term as defined in any of our existing financing arrangements or any other financing agreement evidencing indebtedness in excess of $50 million.

In August 2012, Navistar, Inc. borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $1 billion under the Term Loan Facility. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay all outstanding loans and other

S-51

obligations under Navistar, Inc.’s prior asset-based credit facility (which was entered into in October 2011) and to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility requires quarterly amortization payments of $2.5 million, with the balance due at maturity.

Amended and restated ABL credit facility

In October 2011, Navistar, Inc. and various other U.S. subsidiaries signed a definitive loan agreement relating to a senior secured asset-based credit facility, containing an aggregate principal amount of $355 million. In November 2011, the Company borrowed $100 million under the facility and, in June 2012, borrowed an additional $138 million. In August 2012, in conjunction with our Term Loan Facility transaction, we used a portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan Facility to repay all of the borrowings under the prior asset-based credit facility and Navistar, Inc. entered into the New ABL Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $175 million. The maturity date of the New ABL Facility is July 16, 2014, unless prior to that date the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility is extended to, or the Term Loan Facility is replaced with a new facility with, a scheduled maturity date of August 17, 2017 or later, in which case the New ABL Facility will mature on May 18, 2017. The New ABL Facility, administered by Bank of America, N.A., is secured by a first priority security interest in Navistar, Inc’s aftermarket parts inventory that is stored at certain parts distribution centers, storage facilities and third party processor or logistics provider locations.

The New ABL Facility contains customary provisions for financings of this type, including, without limitation, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Under the New ABL Facility, it is an immediate event of default if we experience a change of control. In general, the New ABL Facility contains a customary definition of change of control substantially similar to that of the Term Loan Facility, other than that under the New ABL Facility, a change of control is deemed to occur once NIC ceases to own, directly or indirectly, at least 85% of the voting securities of Navistar, Inc.

All borrowings under the New ABL Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread. The spread, which will be based on an availability-based measure, ranges from 175 basis points to 225 basis points for Base Rate borrowings and 275 basis points to 325 basis points for LIBOR borrowings. The initial LIBOR spread is 275 basis points.

8.25% senior notes

In October 2009, we completed the offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2021.

The senior notes are NIC’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with any and all of NIC’s existing and future indebtedness that is not subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes and senior in right of payment to any and all of our future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the notes. The senior notes are effectively subordinated to all NIC’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of NIC’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes. The senior notes are effectively junior to the third party equity interests in our majority-owned dealerships and joint ventures, to the extent of those interests. The senior notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured

S-52

basis, by Navistar, Inc. Guarantees of the senior notes rank equally in right of payment with any and all of such guarantor’s existing and future indebtedness that is not subordinated in right of payment to its guarantee, senior in right of payment to any and all of such guarantor’s future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to its guarantee and, to the extent not otherwise secured by assets of such guarantor, effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of such guarantor to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.

At any time on or after November 1, 2014, we may redeem the senior notes, in whole or in part, at redemption prices described in the prospectus supplement for the senior notes. At any time prior to November 1, 2012, we may also redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the senior notes using the proceeds of certain public equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.25% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, not more than once during each twelve-month period ending on November 1 of 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, we may redeem up to $50 million in principal amount of the senior notes in each such twelve-month period, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the senior notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. We exercised this early redemption feature for $100 million in total principal by redeeming $50 million on November 1, 2011 and $50 million on November 2, 2011. We may also redeem some or all of the senior notes at any time prior to November 1, 2014 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. If we sell certain of our assets or experience specific kinds of changes in control, we must offer to repurchase the senior notes.

The indenture governing the senior notes limits our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:

•

make restricted payments;

•

incur additional debt and issue preferred or disqualified stock;

•

create liens;

•

create or permit to exist restrictions on our ability or the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments or distributions;

•

engage in sale-leaseback transactions;

•

engage in mergers or consolidations or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

•

designate restricted and unrestricted subsidiaries;

•

make certain dispositions and transfers of assets;

•

place limitations on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to make distributions;

•

enter into transactions with affiliates; and

•

guarantee indebtedness.

If the senior notes are assigned an investment grade rating by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be suspended. If either rating on the senior notes should subsequently decline to below investment grade, the suspended covenants will be reinstated.

3.00% senior subordinated convertible notes

In October 2009, we also completed the sale of $570 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes will mature on October 15, 2014.

Holders of the convertible notes have the option to convert their notes prior to April 15, 2014 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after January 31, 2010, if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each such trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On and after April 15, 2014 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Upon conversion, we will have the right to deliver shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. We may not redeem the convertible notes prior to their maturity date. The initial conversion rate will be 19.8910 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $50.27 per share of common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in some events but will not be adjusted for accrued interest. Following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to the maturity date, we will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its convertible notes in connection with such a corporate transaction in certain circumstances. We may not redeem the convertible notes prior to the maturity date of the convertible notes.

The convertible notes are senior subordinated unsecured obligations of NIC and are subordinated in right of payment to all of NIC’s existing and future senior debt, rank equal in right of payment to all of NIC’s existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness and rank senior in right of payment to all of NIC’s future subordinated indebtedness. The convertible notes are not guaranteed by any of NIC’s subsidiaries.

If we undergo a fundamental change, holders of the convertible notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their convertible notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Tax-exempt bond financing

In October 2010, we completed a tax-exempt bond financing in which (i) the Illinois Finance Authority issued and sold $135 million aggregate principal amount of Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds due October 15, 2040 and (ii) The County of Cook, Illinois issued and sold $90 million aggregate principal amount of Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds also due October 15, 2040 (collectively the “Tax Exempt Bonds”). The proceeds of the Tax Exempt Bonds were loaned by each issuer to us pursuant to separate, but substantially identical, loan agreements dated as of October 1, 2010. The proceeds from the issuance of the Tax Exempt

S-54

Bonds are restricted, and must be used substantially for capital expenditures related to financing the relocation of our headquarters, the expansion of an existing warehouse facility, and the development of certain industrial and testing facilities, together with related improvements and equipment (the “Projects”). The payment of principal and interest on the Tax Exempt Bonds are guaranteed by Navistar, Inc. The Tax Exempt Bonds are special, limited obligations of each issuer, payable out of the revenues and income derived under the related loan agreements and related guarantees. The Tax Exempt Bonds bear interest at the fixed rate of 6.5% per annum, payable each April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 2011. Beginning on October 15, 2020, the Tax Exempt Bonds are subject to redemption at our option, in whole or in part, at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. The funds received from the issuance of the Tax Exempt Bonds were deposited directly into trust accounts by the bonding authority at the time of issuance, and will be remitted to us on a reimbursement basis as we make qualified capital expenditures related to the Projects. We finalized the purchase of the property and buildings that we are developing into our new world headquarters site. As of July 31, 2012, we had received reimbursements for $145 million of the $225 million under the Tax Exempt Bonds.

Financing arrangements and capital lease obligations

Our financing arrangements include primarily the sale and leaseback of manufacturing equipment that we consider to be integral equipment and thus we account for these arrangements as financings. As of July 31, 2012, we had financing arrangements of $84 million that involve the sale and leaseback of manufacturing equipment. In addition, the amount of financing arrangements and capital lease obligations as of July 31, 2012 included $57 million related to the lease of a manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama and purchases of certain machinery and equipment within that facility. In relation to the machinery and equipment, we entered into a $40 million promissory note with the lessor. This amount is payable in monthly installments over a ten-year term, in conjunction with the lease of the facility.

Promissory note

In September 2011, Navistar, Inc. entered into a $40 million floating rate promissory note with Caterpillar (the “Promissory Note”), under which the principal amount will be repaid over a 4 year term in 16 quarterly installments. The floating interest rate for the Promissory Note will be computed based on LIBOR plus 2.75 % over the term of the note. The Promissory Note was issued in connection with the termination of our joint venture with Caterpillar known as NC² Global, LLC (“NC²”) and our acquisition of all of Caterpillar’s ownership interest in NC², thereby increasing our equity interest in NC² from 50% to 100%.

Financial services operations

Truck Retail Accounts Corporation (“TRAC”), our consolidated special purpose entity (“SPE”), utilized a $125 million funding facility arrangement that provided for the funding of eligible retail accounts receivables. Subsequent to the adoption of new accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, transfers of finance receivables from our Financial Services segment to the TRAC funding facility completed prior to November 1, 2010 retained their sale accounting treatment while transfers of finance receivables subsequent to November 1, 2010 no longer receive sale accounting treatment. Accordingly, borrowings secured by the

S-55

transferred receivables are included in Notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt within our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2011. In March 2012, the prior $100 million funding facility was renewed with a $125 million facility with a maturity date of March 2013. As of July 31, 2012, all borrowings of the SPE are included in our consolidated financial statements.

Effective July 31, 2010, the terms of the wholesale trust agreement were amended to allow NFC, as transferor, an element of control over the transferred receivables and control over eligibility of receivables available for transfer. This amendment disqualifies the Master Trust as a QSPE and therefore disqualifies transfers of receivables to the Master Trust from sale accounting treatment. As of July 31, 2010, liabilities of the trust of $600 million have been recognized as borrowings secured by the underlying receivables. For additional information, see Note 4, Finance receivables to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement.

In May 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary Navistar Financial Retail Receivables Corporation (“NFRRC”) issued secured notes for $919 million. A portion of the proceeds were used to pay off certain existing retail secured borrowings and the remaining portion was used to pay off the revolving retail warehouse facility within the Truck Retail Installment Paper Corporation (“TRIP”) of $500 million at maturity on June 15, 2010. In October 2010, NFRRC issued secured notes for $290 million. These proceeds were used primarily to pay-off certain existing secured borrowings and closeout the related interest rate swap position. In April 2011, NFRRC issued $120 million of additional borrowings secured by retail asset-backed securities. In June 2012, NFRRC issued $502 million of borrowings secured by retail asset-backed securities. Proceeds were used to settle the borrowings secured by retail asset-backed securities of $372 million issued in May 2012, and to pay down a portion of the bank credit facility revolving line of credit.

TRIP, a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of NFC, had a $500 million revolving retail facility that matured and was paid in June 2010. The facility was subject to optional early redemption in full without penalty or premium upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions on any date on or after April 15, 2010. NFC used TRIP to temporarily fund retail notes and retail leases, other than operating leases, and this facility was used primarily during the periods prior to the securitization of retail notes and finance leases. NFC retained a repurchase option against the retail notes and leases sold into TRIP; therefore, TRIP’s assets and liabilities were included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In December 2009, NFC refinanced the revolving credit agreement dated July 2005, as amended, with a $815 million, three-year facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2012, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 425 basis points (“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement contains a term loan of $365 million and a revolving loan of $450 million with a Mexican sub-revolver of $100 million which was used by NIC’s Mexican financial services operations. Under the Credit Agreement, NFC is subject to customary operational and financial covenants including an initial minimum collateral coverage ratio of 120%, increasing to 135% effective November 2010, and 150% effective November 2011. Concurrent with the refinancing in December 2009, Navistar Financial Asset Sales Corporation issued borrowings secured by asset backed securities of $225 million and NFC issued a term loan secured by retail notes and leases of $79 million with monthly scheduled principal payments through March 2013, with weighted average interest rates of 5.7% and 5.9%, respectively.

S-56

In December 2011, the Credit Agreement was refinanced with a five-year $840 million facility consisting of a $340 million term loan and a $500 million revolving line of credit. The new facility is subject to customary operational and financial covenants. Quarterly principal payments on the term portion will be $4 million for the first eight quarters, $9 million for the next eleven quarters, with the balance due at maturity.

In July 2012, NFC extended the maturity date of its $500 million dealer floor plan VFN facility from July 2012 to October 2012. In August 2012, the VFN facility was renewed for $750 million with a maturity date of August 2013.

In August 2012, our Mexican financial services affiliate Navistar Financial, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM, E.N.R., signed an agreement for a five-year, $95 million funding facility, which will be used to support trade receivables for the sale of our trucks and buses manufactured in Mexico and exported to Columbian dealers.

The majority of asset-backed debt is issued by consolidated SPEs and is payable out of collections on the finance receivables sold to the SPEs. This debt is the legal obligation of the SPEs and not NFC. The balance outstanding was $1.4 billion as of July 31, 2012. The carrying amount of the retail notes, wholesale notes and finance leases used as collateral was $1.6 billion as of July 31, 2012. In November 2009, we exercised our right to pay off retail securitization debt of $67 million in advance of final maturity.

NFC enters into secured borrowing agreements involving vehicles subject to operating and finance leases with retail customers. The balances are classified under financial services operations debt as borrowings secured by leases. In connection with the securitizations and secured borrowing agreements of certain of its leasing portfolio assets, NFC and its subsidiary, Navistar Leasing Services Corporation (“NLSC”), have established Navistar Leasing Company (“NLC”), a Delaware business trust. NLC holds legal title to leased vehicles and is the lessor on substantially all leases originated by NFC. NLSC owns beneficial interests in the titles held by NLC and has transferred other beneficial interests issued by NLC to purchasers under secured borrowing agreements and securitizations. Neither the beneficial interests held by purchasers under secured borrowing agreements or the assets represented thereby, nor legal interest in any assets of NLC, are available to NLSC, NFC, or its creditors. The balance of the secured borrowings issued by NLC totaled $5 million as of July 31, 2012.

International Truck Leasing Corporation (“ITLC”), a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary of NFC, provides NFC with another entity to obtain borrowings secured by leases. The balances are classified under financial services operations debt as borrowings secured by leases. ITLC’s assets are available to satisfy its creditors’ claims prior to such assets becoming available for ITLC’s use or to NFC or affiliated companies. The balance of these secured borrowings issued by ITLC totaled $53 million as of July 31, 2012. The carrying amount of the finance and operating leases used as collateral was $59 million as of July 31, 2012. ITLC does not have any unsecured debt.

We borrow funds denominated in U.S. dollars and Mexican pesos to be used for investment in our Mexican financial services operations. As of July 31, 2012, borrowings outstanding under these arrangements were $381 million, of which 30% is denominated in dollars and 70% in pesos. The interest rates on the dollar-denominated debt are at a negotiated fixed rate or at a variable rate based on LIBOR, and the interest rates on peso-denominated debt are based on the Interbank Equilibrium Rate. The remaining borrowings are effectively secured by the Mexican finance receivables.

Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations for non-U.S. holders

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock to a non-U.S. holder that purchases shares of our common stock in this offering. For purposes of this summary, a “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•

a nonresident alien individual;

•

a foreign corporation (or entity treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes); or

•

a foreign estate or foreign trust.

In the case of a holder that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. If you are a partner in a partnership holding our common stock, then you should consult your own tax advisor.

This summary is based upon the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (including proposed and temporary regulations) and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. We cannot assure you that a change in law, possibly with retroactive application, will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary. We have not sought and do not plan to seek any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the IRS, with respect to statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with our statements and conclusions.

This summary is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances, and does not deal with federal taxes other than the U.S. federal income tax or with non-U.S., state or local tax considerations. Special rules, not discussed here, may apply to certain non-U.S. holders, including:

•

U.S. expatriates;

•

Controlled Foreign Corporations;

•

Passive Foreign Investment Companies; and

•

partnerships, other pass-through entities, and investors in pass-through entities.

Such non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

This summary applies only to a non-U.S. holder that holds our common stock as a capital asset (within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code).

If you are considering the purchase of our common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock, as well as the consequences to you arising under U.S. tax laws other than the federal income tax law or under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

S-58

Dividends

We do not currently anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. In the event that we do make a distribution of cash or property (other than certain stock distributions) with respect to our common stock (or certain redemptions that are treated as distributions with respect to common stock), any such distributions will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent that it arises from current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Dividends paid to you generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are “effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business” by you within the United States and, where a tax treaty applies, are generally attributable to a United States permanent establishment, are not subject to the withholding tax, but instead are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis at applicable graduated individual or corporate rates. Certain certification and disclosure requirements including delivery of a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI must be satisfied for effectively connected income to be exempt from withholding. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

If the amount of a distribution paid on our common stock exceeds the balance of current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be allocated ratably among each share of common stock with respect to which the distribution is paid and treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in each such share, and thereafter as capital gain from a sale or other disposition of such share of common stock that is taxed to you as described below under the heading “—Gain on Disposition of Common Stock.” Your adjusted tax basis is generally the purchase price of such shares, reduced by the amount of any such tax-free returns of capital.

If you wish to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate to avoid or reduce withholding of U.S. federal income tax for dividends, then you must (a) provide the withholding agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable form) and certify under penalties of perjury that you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for treaty benefits, or (b) if our common stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities or act as intermediaries (including partnerships).

If you are eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty, then you may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by the withholding agent by filing timely an appropriate claim with the IRS.

Gain on disposition of common stock

You generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock, unless:

•

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business you conduct in the United States, and, in cases in which certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment;

S-59

•

if you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale or other taxable disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

•

we are or have been during a specified testing period a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and certain other conditions are met.

If you are an individual described in the first bullet point above, you will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale based on regular graduated United States federal income tax rates or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual described in the second bullet point above, you will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even though you are not otherwise considered a resident of the United States. If you are a foreign corporation described in the first bullet point above, you will be subject to tax on your gain based on regular graduated United States federal income tax rates (subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise) and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of your effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Generally, we would be a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of our U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market values of our worldwide real property interests and other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, all as determined under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We believe that we have not been and are not, and we do not anticipate becoming, a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Information reporting and backup withholding tax

We must report annually to the IRS and to you the amount of dividends paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to such dividends. The IRS may make this information available to the tax authorities in the country in which you are resident.

In addition, you may be subject to information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 28%) with respect to dividends paid on, and the proceeds of disposition of, shares of our common stock, unless, generally, you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption. Additional rules relating to information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax with respect to payments of the proceeds from the disposition of shares of our common stock are as follows:

•

If the proceeds are paid to or through the U.S. office of a broker, the proceeds generally will be subject to backup withholding tax and information reporting, unless you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person or you otherwise establish an exemption.

•

If the proceeds are paid to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is not a U.S. person and is not a foreign person with certain specified U.S. connections (a “U.S.-related person”), information reporting and backup withholding tax generally will not apply.

•

If the proceeds are paid to or through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a U.S. person or a U.S.-related person, the proceeds generally will be subject to information reporting (but not to backup withholding tax), unless you certify under penalties of perjury (usually on IRS Form W-8BEN) that you are not a U.S. person.

S-60

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished by you to the IRS.

New legislation relating to foreign accounts

Legislation enacted in 2010 (“FATCA legislation”) generally imposes a withholding tax of 30% on dividend income paid on, and the gross proceeds of a disposition of, shares of stock paid after December 31, 2012, to (i) a foreign financial institution, unless such institution enters into an agreement with the United States government to collect and provide to the United States tax authorities substantial information regarding United States account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with United States owners), and (ii) a foreign entity that is not a financial institution, unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial United States owners of the entity, which generally includes any United States person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity. Under proposed regulations, this new withholding tax will not apply (i) to dividend income on stock that is paid on or before December 31, 2013, or (ii) to gross proceeds from the disposition of stock paid on or before December 31, 2014. Investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the implications of this legislation on their investment in our common stock.

THE SUMMARY OF MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. POTENTIAL PURCHASERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

The underwriters have an option to buy up to 1,500,000 additional shares of common stock from us to cover sales of shares by the underwriters which exceed the number of shares specified in the table above. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement to exercise this option to purchase additional shares. If any shares are purchased with this option to purchase additional shares, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as those on which the shares are being offered.

The underwriting discount is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock less the amount paid by the underwriters per share of our common stock. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay, assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $1 million.

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

We have agreed with the underwriters that we will not (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in, any shares of our common stock or any such other securities (regardless of whether any of these transactions are to be settled by the delivery of shares of our common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise), in each case without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the underwriters, for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, other than (1) the shares of our common stock to be sold hereunder; (2) any shares of our common stock issued upon the exercise of options, or the vesting of stock units, outstanding as of the date of the underwriting agreement and granted under any of our stock-based compensation plans; (3) restricted shares of our common stock, options to purchase shares of our common stock and stock units with respect to shares of our common stock and (4) any shares issued in accordance with the term of any convertible securities outstanding as of the date of the underwriting agreement in each case, granted in the ordinary course under any of our stock-based compensation plans outstanding as of the date of the underwriting agreement.

Our directors and executive officers have agreed with the underwriters not to, for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co. on behalf of the underwriters, (1) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,

S-63

purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in, our common stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of our common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of our common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock, in each case other than (A) transfers of shares of our common stock as a bona fide gift or gifts; (B) in the case of a stock option expiring during the period when the restrictions in this paragraph continue, sales, exchanges, swaps or other transfers or dispositions of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof to us in an amount limited to the amount necessary to cover the exercise price thereof or to satisfy the tax withholding in connection with the exercise thereof; and (C) in the case of restricted stock vesting during the period when the restrictions described in this paragraph continue, sales, exchanges, swaps or other transfers or dispositions of shares of our common stock so vested to the Company in an amount limited to the amount necessary to satisfy the tax withholding in connection with the vesting thereof; provided that in the case of clause (A), each transferee executes and delivers to the representatives a lock-up letter in the form of this paragraph and no filing by any party under the Exchange Act or other public announcement is required or is made voluntarily in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the 90-day restricted period referred to above).

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NAV.”

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of our common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares of our common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of the shares of our common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of our common stock than they are required to purchase in this offering, and purchasing shares of our common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered” shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked” shorts, which are short positions in excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional shares, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares of our common stock in the open market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the underwriters may purchase shares of our common stock through the option to purchase additional shares. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position, they will purchase shares of our common stock in the open market to cover the position.

S-64

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the our common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and, as a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in over the counter market or otherwise.

In addition, in connection with this offering certain of the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange prior to the pricing and completion of this offering. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the New York Stock Exchange no higher than the bid prices of independent market makers and making purchases at prices no higher than these independent bids and effected in response to order flow. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to a specified percentage of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in the common stock during a specified period and must be discontinued when such limit is reached. Passive market making may cause the price of our common stock to be higher than the price that otherwise would exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. If passive market making is commenced, it may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services.

Selected consolidating financial data

We have included elsewhere in this prospectus supplement supplemental financial operating data of our manufacturing operations with our financial services operations set forth on an after-tax equity basis of accounting. Our manufacturing operations, for this purpose, include our Truck, Engine and Parts segments and Corporate items, which includes certain eliminations. We have included this supplemental financial and operating data to assist prospective investors in evaluating an investment in the common stock being offered in this offering. This information does not represent our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial data that has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that has been included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. The following tables provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to our GAAP condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the periods presented in this prospectus supplement. We have reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures by adding the results of our financial services operations, making the necessary adjustments to eliminate certain inter-company transactions between our manufacturing operations and financial services operations and adjusting for reclassifications. Certain of our subsidiaries in our manufacturing operations have debt outstanding with our financial services operations.
