Affirmative Action Policy Statement &
Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement

It is the policy of Vermeer Corporation to employ, advance in employment, and otherwise treat all employees and applicants for employment without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental handicap, or veteran status. Pursuant to this policy: We will recruit, hire, and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Likewise, should the need arise to reduce the number of employees at Vermeer Corporation, or to re-align employees within the company to meet staffing needs, all displacements will be conducted in a manner that supports the principals of non-discrimination. We will ensure that all other personnel actions such as compensation, benefits, company sponsored training, education, and tuition assistance, as well as social and recreational programs will be administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. We will continually evaluate the performance of our management personnel in achieving our affirmative action objectives as well as other established criteria. We have appointed Vince Newendorp, Vice President of Administration, with the responsibility of establishing, implementing, coordinating, monitoring, and revising the policies, procedures, and programs regarding non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity. Vermeer is an EEO/AAP employer.
