SECTION 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) undertook a reasonable country of origin inquiry with respect to the conflict minerals used in the production of the Company’s products and has determined in good faith that for the year ended December 31, 2018:

The Company has manufactured or contracted to manufacture products as to which tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (herein referred to as 3TGs, for “conflict minerals”¹ – see footnote) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products.

Based on a “reasonable country of origin inquiry” and additional due diligence measures, the Company has reason to believe that a portion of its necessary 3TGs originated or may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country (collectively, sometimes referred to as the “Covered Countries”) and has reason to believe that those necessary 3TGs may not be from recycled or scrap sources.

The Company’s reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) employed a combination of measures to determine whether the necessary 3TGs in the Company’s products originated from the Covered Countries. The Company’s primary means of determining country of origin of necessary 3TGs was by conducting a supply chain survey with direct suppliers using the RBA-GeSI (Responsible Business Alliance – Global E-Sustainability Initiative) conflict minerals reporting template (“CMRT”), version 5.11 or higher.

In accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 13p-1”), the Company has filed this Specialized Disclosure Form (Form SD) and the associated Conflict Minerals Report and both reports are posted to a publicly available Internet site at http://www.manitexinternational.com/secfilings.aspx.

Item 1.02 Exhibit

The Company has included its Conflict Minerals Report as Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD.

Section 2 Exhibits

Item 2.01 Exhibits
