Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Addendum #11 to the Supply Agreement introduces several material changes to the Company's operational constraints and market scope:
- Exclusivity Removed: The Company no longer holds exclusivity to purchase and distribute specified Doosan engines in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
- Purchase Commitments: Minimum product purchase commitments and related performance penalties have been removed, with the exception of the outstanding balance from 2021.
- Territory Expansion: The sales and service territory is expanded to include the United States, Canada, Mexico, and any other market where the parties agree to a non-binding forecast.
- Pricing Structure: Purchase prices for Doosan products are established for the remainder of 2022, with pricing for 2023 and future years subject to negotiation.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Agreement Term: The Supply Agreement remains in effect until December 31, 2023. The Addendum provides for automatic renewal for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of termination at least three months prior to expiration.
Confidentiality: Confidential treatment has been requested for certain portions of the Addendum exhibit, meaning specific pricing details or other sensitive terms are not fully disclosed in this summary.
Risks: The removal of exclusivity may increase competitive pressure in the North American market, while the removal of minimum purchase commitments reduces the risk of performance penalties but may signal a shift in demand forecasting dynamics.
