Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On November 25, 2012, Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial”) and CNH Global N.V. (“CNH”), the indirect parent company of CNH Capital LLC, announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement to combine the businesses of Fiat Industrial and CNH.  The terms of the definitive merger agreement provide that Fiat Industrial, which currently indirectly owns approximately 88% of the outstanding common shares of CNH, and CNH will each merge into a newly-formed company organized under the laws of The Netherlands (“NewCo”).  The parties anticipate that the shares of NewCo will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange at the closing of the merger.  NewCo will also use its reasonable best efforts to cause the NewCo shares to be admitted to listing on the Mercato Telematico Azionario managed by Borsa Italiana shortly following the closing of the merger.  The merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013, subject to customary closing conditions (including, among others, the approval of the merger by the shareholders of each of Fiat Industrial and CNH and customary regulatory approvals).  Fiat Industrial has agreed to vote its CNH shares in favor of the merger at the CNH shareholders’ meeting.
