LAKE FOREST, Illinois – June 28 – CNH Global  N.V. (NYSE: CNH) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Case New Holland Inc., is redeeming its outstanding 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011, with today's mailing of notice to bond-holders.  The full $1,050,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be redeemed on August 1, 2007.
 
Rubin McDougal, CNH's Chief Financial Officer, cited "CNH's improved industrial and financial performance, high cash balances, a commitment to improve CNH's balance sheet structure while reducing interest expense and continuing support of the Fiat Group as the principal reasons behind the early redemption."
 
"We will permanently retire a portion of the notes," he said, "and refinance the balance through new term financing available from Fiat Finance North America."
 
This redemption represents 100% of the Notes and the call is being made to all holders. The redemption price will be 104.625% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest, to the redemption date (which, as of the August 1, 2007 redemption date, would total $1,098,562,500).
 
Payment to the holders will occur on the redemption date, upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to the Trustee, as Paying Agent, in person or by mail to:

Forward-looking statements. This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding our competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. These statements may include terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "could," "should," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "outlook," "continue," "remain," "on track," "goal," or similar terminology.

Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors for us include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices, our and our customers' access to credit, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings of our debt securities and asset backed securities and the ratings of Fiat S.p.A., risks related to our relationship with Fiat S.p.A., political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including government subsidies and international trade regulations), the results of legal proceedings, technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, relations with and the financial strength of dealers, the cost and availability of supplies from our suppliers, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our margin improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize our operations and to execute our brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in our Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and as can be found online at www.cnh.com.
