Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers.
On June 23, 2006, Dennis D. Williams was elected to the Board of Directors
of Navistar International Corporation (the company). Mr. Williams is the designee
of the United Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America (the UAW), who is
the holder of the companys Series B preference stock. At this time the companys board of
directors has not determined the committees, if any, to which Mr. Williams will be appointed. Mr.
Williams is not a party to any transaction with the company or any of its subsidiaries in which he
had a direct or indirect material interest requiring disclosure under this Item.
In connection with a 1993 restructuring of the companys 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 companys Series B preference stock, the UAW is entitled to elect one
member to serve on the companys board of directors, the UAW director, until such time as the
company has fully funded its liability under the health care and life insurance benefits program
(subject to such right revesting if such funding 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 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.
Mr. Williams is employed by the UAW as a director of UAW Region 4, a position he has held since
2001. At the direction of the UAW all director compensation earned by Mr. Williams for service on
the companys board of directors will be paid to the retiree trust that was created under the
companys 1993 settlement agreement.
Mr. Williams election fills the seat previously held by David McAllister, the former UAW director,
who was removed as a director of the company by the UAW on June 23, 2006.
