Manitex International, Inc. Announces Strategic Alternatives Being Considered for A.S.V., LLC

BRIDGEVIEW, IL--(Marketwired - Jan 23, 2017) - Manitex International, Inc. ( NASDAQ : MNTX ), a leading international provider of cranes and specialized equipment, announced today that its Board of Directors is considering strategic alternatives for A.S.V., LLC, its joint venture with Terex Corporation ( NYSE : TEX ), to realize maximum value for Manitex shareholders. The Board's review will include the possibility of a sale of all or a portion of ASV or Manitex's ownership stake (51%) in ASV, as well as the possibility of ASV becoming a public company.

ASV is a manufacturer of high quality compact rubber tracked and skid steer loaders. Prior to the formation of the joint venture, ASV was a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex Corporation, and prior to its acquisition by Terex, ASV was an independent, publicly traded company.

The Company does not intend to make further public comment regarding any transaction unless and until the Board makes a decision with respect to a specific transaction or otherwise concludes its review. 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction.
