Summary
PACCAR Inc's 8-K filing dated September 27, 2013, announces a material amendment to a previous agreement. Specifically, The PACCAR Engine Company, a subsidiary, entered into a Second Amendment to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State of Mississippi and supporting governmental entities. This amendment primarily addresses the incentive package related to the establishment of an engine plant in Columbus, Mississippi. The key change is the extension of the deadline for PACCAR to meet certain employment level commitments at the facility. This suggests a potential adjustment to the timeline or phasing of the company's operational build-up in Mississippi, which could have implications for regional job creation and PACCAR's production capacity expansion plans.
