Introduction

This Amendment No. 1 to the Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as amended, the "Transaction Statement") is being filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the "Exchange Act"), by (1) Manitex International, Inc. (the "Company"); (2) Tadano Ltd., a Japanese corporation ("Tadano") and (3) Lift SPC Inc., a Michigan corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tadano ("Merger Sub") (each of (1) through (3) a "Filing Person," and collectively, the "Filing Persons"). Tadano owns approximately 14.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (which we refer to as a "share" or, collectively, "shares").

This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 12, 2024 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Tadano and Merger Sub.

If the Merger Agreement is adopted by the Company's shareholders and the other conditions under the Merger Agreement are either satisfied or waived, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (which we refer to as the "merger"), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will continue its corporate existence under Michigan law as the surviving corporation in the merger ("Surviving Corporation") and as a subsidiary of Tadano. Upon completion of the merger, (1) each share of issued Company common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares of Company common stock that are owned by Tadano, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective subsidiaries (which we refer to as the "Excluded Shares")) will be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of $5.80 per share, without interest, less any required withholding taxes (the "merger consideration"), (2) each Excluded Share owned by Tadano or any subsidiary thereof will remain outstanding as a share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and (3) each other Excluded Share will be cancelled and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be payable therefor. Following the completion of the merger, the shares of Company common stock will no longer be publicly traded, and holders of such shares of Company common stock that have been converted into the right to receive the merger consideration will cease to have any ownership interest in the Company.

Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, pursuant to which the Company's board of directors (the "Board") is soliciting proxies from shareholders of the Company in connection with the merger. The Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to the Proxy Statement as Annex A and is incorporated herein by reference. As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form, and is subject to completion or amendment. Terms used but not defined in this Transaction Statement have the meanings assigned to them in the Proxy Statement.

The transaction committee of the Board, consisting solely of the Company's independent directors who are independent of, and not affiliated with, Tadano, evaluated the merger in consultation with the Company's management and legal and financial advisors, and unanimously (1) determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transaction, including the merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its shareholders other than the affiliated shareholders, which shareholders we refer to as the "unaffiliated shareholders," (2) determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and the unaffiliated shareholders to enter into the Merger Agreement and (3) recommended that the Board approve and authorize the Merger Agreement and the transaction.

Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement. The cross-references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.

While each of the Filing Persons acknowledges that the merger is a going private transaction for purposes of Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, the filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any Filing Person, or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is "controlled" by any of the Filing Persons and/or their respective affiliates.

All information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Transaction Statement concerning each Filing Person has been supplied by such Filing Person.
