Item 8.01.  Other Events
     As previously disclosed, in February 2006 AGCO Corporation received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a non-public, fact-finding inquiry entitled “In the Matter of Certain Participants in the Oil for Food Program.” This subpoena requested documents concerning transactions under the United Nations Oil for Food Program by AGCO Corporation and certain of our subsidiaries. The subpoena arises from sales by AGCO’s subsidiaries of farm equipment to the Iraq ministry of agriculture. AGCO is cooperating fully with the inquiry. The subpoena does not imply that there have been any violations of the federal securities or other laws. However, should the SEC (or the U.S. Department of Justice, which is participating in the SEC’s inquiry) determine that AGCO has violated federal law, AGCO could be subject to civil or criminal fines and penalties, or both. A similar proceeding has been initiated against one of AGCO’s subsidiaries in Denmark, and on November 28, 2006, the French government initiated an investigation of one of AGCO’s subsidiaries in France. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these inquiries or the impact, if any, on AGCO.
