On November 30, 2021, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2021, by and among Raven Industries, Inc. (“Raven”), CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH”), and CNH Industrial South Dakota, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial (“Merger Subsidiary”), Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Raven (the “Merger”), with Raven surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of CNH. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Raven Industries, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) offered shares of the common stock, $1.00 par value, of Raven (“Raven Common Stock”) as an investment
option. Following the consummation of the Merger, the Plan no longer offers Raven Common Stock as an investment option. Therefore, interests in the Plan no longer require registration. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Raven filed post-effective amendments to each of its Registration Statements on Form S-8 relating to the Plan to deregister thereunder all shares of Raven Common Stock and related plan interests that remained unsold under the Plan. Accordingly, this Form 15 is being filed solely to suspend the Plan’s duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including on Form 11-K. Although the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act has been terminated with respect to the Plan, CNH’s duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) remains with respect to the common shares, par value €0.01 per share,
of CNH.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Raven Industries, Inc. has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
