As previously disclosed, on July 20, 2016, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”) with The Private Bank and Trust Company, now known as CIBC Bank USA (“CIBC”).

On March 9, 2018, the parties to the Loan Agreement entered into a sixth amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). The main modifications to the Loan Agreement resulting from the Sixth Amendment are as follows:

 

    a consent to the intercompany loan in the amount of $1,500,000 made to PM Group S.p.A. (“PM Group”), an Italian subsidiary of the Company, in December 2017;

 

    a waiver of any Default or Event of Default caused by the reclassification of certain revenue previously recognized by the Company in the 2016 fiscal year due to the Company’s financial restatement;

 

    amendments to the definitions of “EBITDA” and “Fixed Charges” to account for certain impacts arising from the financial restatement;

 

    a consent to the sale by the Company of up to all of its equity interests in ASV Holdings, Inc. (“ASV”), provided that the proceeds are used to repay outstanding revolving loans under the Loan Agreement;

 

    a consent to an additional equity investment in, or intercompany loan to, PM Group from the Company, using all or a portion of the remaining proceeds from the sale of the Company’s equity interests in ASV; and

 

    additional limitations on investments by the Company in foreign subsidiaries, other than the transactions with PM Group described above.
