- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 10:34 AM Caterpillar (CAT -2.9%) agrees to sell its Bucyrus distribution and support business in South Africa and Botswana to industrial group Barloworld (BRRAY.PK) for $115M.

- Thursday, May 10, 2012, 9:22 AM Caterpillar (CAT -0.5%) agrees to sell a 65% holding in Caterpillar Logistics Services to Platinum Equity in a deal valued at $750M. Caterpillar will keep a 35% stake in the unit. Comment! [M&A]
- Thursday, March 8, 2012, 9:36 AM Caterpillar (CAT) and other heavy machinery vendors are facing growing competition from Chinese firms such as Sany, Zoomlion, and XCMG, who are now stepping up their efforts to acquire foreign companies for their technology, brands, and distribution networks.

- Wednesday, January 18, 2012, 9:17 AM Canada's Finning (FINGF.PK) will acquire from Caterpillar (CAT) the distribution and support businesses in parts of South America and western Canada and in the U.K. in a transaction valued at ~$465M.

- Thursday, January 5, 2012, 1:28 PM Farm equipment maker AGCO rises 2% after CEO Martin Richenagen tells a German paper he won't rule out a merger with a competitor such as Caterpillar (CAT). He adds that strong demand will lift AGCO's 2012 revenue to $10B, which compares favorably with a $9.8B consensus. Comment! [M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 4:33 AM Caterpillar (CAT) announced it will sell part of the former Bucyrus distribution business to Sime Darby Berhad (SMEBF.PK) for ~$360M. Comment! [M&A]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 7:14 AM Confirming earlier reports (I, II), Caterpillar (CAT) makes a pre-conditional offer to acquire ERA Mining Machinery in a deal aimed at helping CAT increase its presence in China.

- Thursday, November 10, 2011, 2:51 PM Caterpillar's (CAT +0.8%) bid to buy ERA Mining is in the stretch run with final details of the $6.9B merger still being hammered out. One of the bigger items on the table is if the deal will be an all-cash offer or be financed by a note with a valuation tied to the gross profit of the company. Comment! [M&A]
- Thursday, November 10, 2011, 8:24 AM The WSJ reports Caterpillar (CAT) struck a deal to purchase Hong Kong-based ERA Mining Machinery for 6.9B Hong Kong dollars ($887M).

Comment! [M&A]
- Tuesday, May 24, 2011, 1:28 PM With its $8.6B deal for Bucyrus (BUCY) on track, Caterpillar (CAT -0.4%) now needs to pay for it - and sets a $4.5B four-part debt offering, to go along with some $3.3B in cash and some commercial paper. Comment! [M&A]
- Saturday, May 21, 2011, 5:05 AM Caterpillar's (CAT) $8.6B acquisition of Bucyrus (BUCY) gets its antitrust OK from the Justice Department, and should now close around midyear. (deal backstory) Comment! [M&A]
