On March 6, 2018, PM Group, S.p.A. (“PM Group”), the Italian subsidiary of Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”), and PM Group’s subsidiary Oil & Steel S.p.A. (“Oil & Steel”) entered into a Debt Restructuring Agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena S.p.A., Banca Nazionale del Lavoro S.p.A., BPER Banca S.p.A., Cassa di Risparmio in Bologna S.p.A. and Unicredit S.p.A. (collectively the “Lenders”), and Loan Agency Services S.r.l. (the “Agent”). The Restructuring Agreement, which replaces the previous debt restructuring agreement with the Lenders entered into in 2014, provides for, among other things:

 

   

The provision of subordinated shareholders’ loans by the Company to PM Group, consisting of (i) conversion of an existing trade receivable in the amount of €3.1 million into a loan; (ii) an additional subordinated shareholders’ loan in the aggregate maximum amount of up to €2.4 million, to be made currently; and (iii) a further loan of €1.8 million to be made by December 31, 2018, in each case to be used to repay a portion of PM Group’s outstanding obligations to the Lenders;

 

   

Amendments to the 2014 put and call options agreement with BPER to, among other things, extend the exercise of the options until the approval of PM Group’s financial statements for the 2021 fiscal year and permit the assignment of certain subordinated receivables to the Company; and

 

   

New amortization and repayment schedules for amounts owed by PM Group to the Lenders under the various outstanding tranches of indebtedness, along with revised interest rates and financial covenants.

The foregoing description of the Restructuring Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restructuring Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
