Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

In connection with the two-for-one stock split of JLG Industries, Inc.’s capital stock, effected in the form of a 100% stock distribution that will be paid on March 27, 2006, the Board of Directors of JLG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”). As authorized by Pennsylvania law, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increased the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company in the same proportion that the shares distributed in the stock distribution increased the number of issued shares of capital stock. Thus, the Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of capital stock under the Articles of Incorporation from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares.

The text of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended effective on March 23, 2006, is filed as exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
