Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Company Sells Liftking

On September 30, 2016, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Liftking, Inc. entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mi-Jack Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Liftking Acquisition ULC, pursuant to which Liftking Acquisition ULC purchased Manitex Liftking, ULC (“Liftking”) from Liftking, Inc. for cash consideration of $14 million (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. The net cash proceeds from the Transaction will be used by the Company to pay down its North American bank debt.

The description of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Amendments to PrivateBank Facility

As previously disclosed, on July 20, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with The PrivateBank and Trust Company (“PrivateBank”). The Loan Agreement provides the Company with a revolving credit facility, which has a maturity date of July 20, 2019.

In connection with the Transaction, on September 30, 3016, the parties to the Loan Agreement entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) to, among other things: (i) have PrivateBank consent to the sale of Manitex LiftKing, ULC in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) remove Manitex LiftKing, ULC as a Borrower under the Loan Agreement and related documents, and (iii) reduce the amount of the revolving credit facility from $45 million to $35 million.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibits 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the Transaction is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The press release inadvertently stated that Lifking’s trailing 12 months revenues were approximately $18 million, instead of approximately $22 million, which is the correct figure.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(d) Exhibits.

See the Exhibit Index set forth below for a list of exhibits included with this Current Report on Form 8-K.
