Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Company and Comerica Bank Amend Credit Agreement

Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries currently have a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Comerica Bank (“Comerica”) and certain other lenders. The Company and Comerica have entered into an amendment, dated as of October 15, 2013, to the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), pursuant to which:

•

Two new lenders were added to the lender group under the $40 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “U.S. Revolving Credit Facility”). Fifth Third Bank and HSBC Bank are now each committed to lend up to $10 million under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, and Comerica’s commitment to lend under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility has been reduced from $40 million to $20 million;

•

Amounts which may be spent by the Company in connection with acquisitions without requiring consent of the lenders under the Credit Agreement has been increased (i) in the case of individual acquisitions, by $500,000 to $1.5 million per acquisition and (ii) in the case of aggregate acquisitions during the term of the Credit Agreement, by $1 million to $6 million; and

•

The amount of debt which is permitted under the Credit Agreement was revised: (i) to permit Manitex Liftking ULC, the Company’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, to enter into a letter of credit facility in the amount of $2 million, and (ii) to increase the amount of capitalized leases permitted from $7.5 million to $9 million.

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