Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 23, 2012 (“Cascade’s October 8-K”), by Cascade Corporation, an Oregon corporation (“Cascade”), Cascade entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 22, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Toyota Industries Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of Japan (“TICO”), and Industrial Components and Attachments II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TICO (“Purchaser”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on November 2, 2012, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.50 per share (the “Shares”), of Cascade at a price of $65.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated November 2, 2012, and the related letter of transmittal, each as amended and supplemented from time to time.

The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 (the “Expiration Date”). According to the depositary for the Offer, approximately 9,785,256 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, representing approximately 87.4% of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis (as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement). In addition, approximately 491,605 Shares were delivered by means of guaranteed delivery procedures. If all guaranteed delivery Shares are received, approximately 91.8% of the Shares will have been tendered. On March 28, 2013, Purchaser accepted for payment (such time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and all holders of these Shares will be paid promptly in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

On March 28, 2013, Purchaser also exercised its top-up option under the Merger Agreement to purchase from Cascade a number of newly-issued shares of Cascade common stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) at the Offer Price per share equal to the lowest number of shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by TICO and its subsidiaries (including Purchaser) at the time of such exercise, equals one Share more than 90% of the number of Shares then outstanding (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and excluding from the calculation of the number of Shares then owned by TICO and its subsidiaries, but not from the calculation of then-outstanding number of shares of Cascade common stock, Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered).

Following its acquisition of the Top-Up Shares, Purchaser completed its acquisition of Cascade through the merger of Purchaser with and into Cascade, with Cascade continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TICO (the “Merger”), pursuant to the “short-form” merger provisions of the corporation laws of Oregon and Delaware in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger became effective (the “Effective Time”) on March 28, 2013, upon filing articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of

- 1 -

Oregon and a certificate of ownership and merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In the Merger, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares owned by TICO, Purchaser, or Cascade (or any of their respective subsidiaries), was automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, less any applicable withholding taxes, and was cancelled. Shareholders no longer have any rights with respect to the Shares other than the right to receive the Offer Price pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On March 28, 2013, TICO and Cascade issued a joint press release announcing the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the joint press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The total consideration paid in the Offer and the Merger was approximately $760 million. The source of the funds for the acquisition of Cascade was provided by TICO through one or more capital contributions and/or intercompany loans. TICO obtained such funds from cash on hand and/or cash generated from general corporate operating activities.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and related transactions may not contain all information that an investor might consider important and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Cascade’s October 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continuing Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On March 28, 2013, Cascade notified the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) of the completion of the Merger and requested that trading of Cascade common stock on the NYSE be suspended. Cascade also requested that the NYSE file with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 25 to delist Cascade’s Common Stock from the NYSE and deregister Cascade’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. Cascade intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act, requesting the deregistration of Cascade’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of Cascade’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Pursuant to Purchaser’s exercise of the top-up option, Cascade issued 2,942,041 Top-Up Shares to Purchaser at a price equal to the Offer Price per share. Purchaser paid for the Top-Up Shares by delivery of cash and a promissory note. The information set forth under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”) is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Top-Up Shares issued to Purchaser pursuant to the top-up option were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares directly owned by TICO, Purchaser, Cascade, or any of their respective subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, was canceled without any consideration being exchanged therefor and was canceled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), less any applicable withholding of taxes.

As of the Effective Time, each stock option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (“Cascade Option”), was canceled and converted into the right to receive from TICO a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares subject to such Cascade Option multiplied by (ii) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share, less any applicable withholding taxes.

As of the Effective Time, each stock appreciation right outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cascade SAR”) vested and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive from TICO a lump sum cash payment equal to the aggregate amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the base prices of the Cascade SAR, less any applicable withholding taxes.

As of the Effective Time, each restricted share of Cascade common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cascade Restricted Shares”) vested and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive from TICO a lump sum cash payment equal to (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the number of Cascade Restricted Shares.

The information contained in Items 2.01, 3.01, and 5.01 of this Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant.

As described in Item 2.01 above, at the Acceptance Time, Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on or prior to the Expiration Date and became the majority shareholder of Cascade. As a result of the acceptance of such Shares, a change in control of Cascade occurred.

As described above, on March 28, 2013, Purchaser exercised its top-up option and purchased the Top-Up Shares. Following the exercise of the top-up option, Purchaser caused the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Because Purchaser owned more than 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares following its completion of the Offer and purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Purchaser was able to effect a short-form merger with and into Cascade without prior notice to, or the approval or consent of, Cascade’s shareholders, as permitted by the corporation laws of the states of Oregon and Delaware. Upon consummation of the Merger, Cascade became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of TICO.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Cascade’s October 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements to Certain Officers.

In connection with completion of the Merger, effective as of March 28, 2013, each of the following members of Cascade’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) resigned from the Board: Dr. Nicholas R. Lardy, Duane C. McDougall, Peter D. Nickerson, James S. Osterman, Henry W. Wessinger II, and Dr. Nancy A. Wilgenbusch. Robert C. Warren, Jr. continues to serve as a director of Cascade.

Esmond, Akira Onishi, Richard S. Anderson and Robert C. Warren.

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

Exhibit 3.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS

OF

CASCADE CORPORATION

ARTICLE 1

Offices

The principal office of Cascade Corporation (the “Corporation”) in the state of Oregon is to be located in the city of Fairview. The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or without the state of Oregon, as the Board of Directors may designate or as the business of the Corporation may from time to time determine.

ARTICLE II

Shareholders

2.1 Annual Meeting. Unless a different date or time is fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of meeting, the annual meeting of the shareholders is to be held on the second Thursday of May each year at 10:00 a.m. for the purpose of electing Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting.

2.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Secretary on the request of the Chairman or on the request in writing of three Directors, and must be called if one or more written demands for a meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held are signed, dated, and delivered to the Secretary by the shareholders of record holding at least ten percent of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting.

2.3 Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors will determine the place of meeting for all annual and special meetings of the shareholders, which may be within or without the state of Oregon. In the absence of any such determination, all meetings of shareholders are to be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the state of Oregon.

2.4 Notice of Meeting. Written or printed notice stating the date, time, and place of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting or as required by the Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “Act”), the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called must be given not earlier than 50 nor less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, delivered personally, by mail, or by any other method authorized by the Act, by or at the direction of the Secretary, or other persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting and to any other shareholder

entitled by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation to receive notice of the meeting. If mailed, the notice is effective and deemed to be delivered when deposited postpaid in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as shown in the Corporation’s current record of shareholders. A written waiver of notice of a meeting signed by the shareholder or shareholders entitled to the notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, is equivalent to the giving of notice upon the delivery of the waiver to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. If a meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place announced at the meeting before adjournment, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed under the Act.

2.5 Fixing of Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix a future date as the record date to determine the shareholders entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting, to demand a special meeting, to vote, to take any other action, or to receive payment of any share or cash dividend or other distribution. This date is not to be earlier than 70 days or, in the case of a meeting, not later than 10 days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders. The record date for any meeting, vote, or other action of the shareholders must be the same for all voting groups. If not otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date to determine shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at an annual or a special meeting of shareholders is the close of business on the day before the notice is first mailed or otherwise transmitted for delivery to shareholders. If not otherwise fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date to determine shareholders entitled to receive payment of any share or cash dividend or other distribution is the close of business on the day that the Board of Directors authorizes the share, cash dividend, or other distribution.

2.6 Quorum; Manner of Acting. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to the matter. Unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Act provides otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of Directors, will be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Act or the Articles of Incorporation require a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

2.7 Proxies. A shareholder may vote shares in person or by proxy. A shareholder may authorize a person or persons to act for the shareholder as proxy in any manner permitted by applicable law. An authorization of a proxy is effective when received by the secretary or other officer of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes. No proxy is valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise expressly provided in the proxy.

2.8 Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share of the Corporation’s common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of the shareholders, except that shares owned, directly or indirectly, by another corporation in which the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of the other corporation may not be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares for purposes of any meeting.

2.9 Acceptance of Votes. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder on the book of the Corporation as of the record date set for such voting, the Corporation may accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder.

2.10 Action by Majority Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting if consented to in writing by the holders of outstanding shares having at least the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or ratify such an action if taken at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted.

ARTICLE III

Committees

3.1 Committees. There may be established as committees of the Board of Directors an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Governance Committee, each of which, if established, shall have the powers and functions set forth herein, and such additional powers as may be delegated by the Board of Directors.

3.2 The Audit Committee.

Any Director may also waive notice of any meeting by signing a written waiver, whether before or after the time stated therein, that specifies the meeting for which notice is waived and that is filed with the minutes or corporate records.

4.6 Quorum. A majority of the number of Directors fixed by resolution under Section 4.2 constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors. If any meeting of the Directors cannot be organized for want of a quorum, a majority of the Directors there present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice until a quorum shall attend.

4.7 Manner of Acting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board of Directors.

4.8 Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including any Directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by the shareholders or by the Board of Directors or, if the Directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.

4.9 Presumption of Assent. A Director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken will be deemed to have assented to the action taken unless (a) the Director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the Director’s arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; (b) the Director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (c) the Director delivers written notice of dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting.

Any meeting notice must state that the purpose or one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the Director or Directors.

4.11 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted by the Act to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if one or more consents in writing, describing the action so taken, are signed by all the Directors and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken.

4.12 Meetings by Telephone. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held by means of conference telephone or any other means of communication by which all Directors participating can hear each other simultaneously during the meeting, and such participation constitutes presence in person at the meeting.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnification

8.1 Indemnification. The Corporation will indemnify each of its officers and Directors to the fullest extent permitted under the Act against all expense, liability, and loss (including, without limitation, attorney fees) incurred or suffered by such a person by reason of or arising from the fact that the person is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, and such indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, and administrators. The Corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation who are not Directors or officers with the same scope and effect as the indemnification provided

in this Article to Directors and officers. The indemnification provided in this Article is not exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, resolution of shareholders or Directors, contract, or otherwise.

8.2 Advancement of Expenses. Expenses incurred by a person in defending a proceeding shall in all cases be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding at the written request of such person, if the person:

a. furnishes the Corporation a written affirmation of the person’s good faith belief that such person has met the standard of conduct described in the Act or is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under any other indemnification rights granted by the Corporation to such person; and

b. furnishes the Corporation a written undertaking to repay such advance to the extent it is ultimately determined by a court that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under this Article or under any other indemnification rights granted by the Corporation to such person.

Such advance shall be made without regard to the person’s ability to repay such advances and without regard to the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under this Article or otherwise.

8.3 Effect of Amendment. No amendment to this Article that limits the obligation of the Corporation to indemnify any person will have any effect on that obligation for any act or omission that occurs before the effective date of the amendment.

ARTICLE IX

Dividends

Dividends may be declared by the Board of Directors in such form, in such amounts and at such times as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall determine, subject only to the requirements of law, and no dividends shall be paid or other distribution of earnings made except as directed by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE X

Amendments

The shareholders may amend or repeal the Bylaws. In addition, the Board of Directors may amend or repeal the Bylaws unless the shareholders in amending or repealing a particular Bylaw provide expressly that the Board of Directors may not amend or repeal that Bylaw.

Exhibit 99.1

Toyota Industries Corporation Completes Acquisition of Cascade Corporation

March 28, 2013, Kariya, Japan, and Fairview, Oregon – Toyota Industries Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6201) (“TICO”) and Cascade Corporation (NYSE: CASC) (“Cascade”) today announced that TICO has successfully completed its acquisition of Cascade for $65.00 per share in a transaction valued at approximately $760 million.

The transaction creates a leading global materials handling business with a wider spectrum of high-quality and innovative products related to the lift truck business. While wholly owned, Cascade will continue to be based in Fairview, Oregon and will operate as an independent subsidiary of TICO. Cascade’s strict policies on confidentiality regarding competitive information will remain unchanged. TICO recognizes and respects the importance of this policy to customers and to the continued success of the business.

TICO completed the acquisition of Cascade through a tender offer and a short-form merger, without a vote or meeting of Cascade’s shareholders. In the merger, each outstanding share of Cascade’s common stock not purchased in the tender offer or otherwise owned by TICO was converted into the right to receive the same $65.00 consideration that was provided in the tender offer, less any required withholding taxes and without interest. Cascade’s common stock will cease to be traded on the NYSE. TICO intends to de-register Cascade’s common stock as promptly as practicable following the effective time of the merger.

Nomura Securities is serving as exclusive financial advisor to TICO and White & Case LLP is serving as legal advisor in connection with the transaction. BofA Merrill Lynch is serving as exclusive financial advisor to Cascade, and Miller Nash LLP is serving as Cascade’s legal advisor.
