June 5, 2014 Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting

Ancenis, June 5, 2014 – Manitou today held its Combined Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting at its Ancenis headquarters.

During the Meeting, Marcel Braud, Chairman of the Board, said: "2013 was a year of transition for the group within a tough environment. 2014 is beginning with a clear vision and shared ambitions that the new management team, headed by Michel Denis, now plans to implement. This project will be supported by the merging of the RTH and IMH Divisions in a MHA Division - Material Handling & Access (Handling equipment & Aerial work platforms), the creation of a Service & Solutions Division and the ongoing development of the CE Division (Compact Equipment). I am convinced that these orientations will give the group renewed momentum and enable an acceleration in growth, while consolidating its leadership position and reinforcing its solidity".

The Shareholders' Meeting was an opportunity for Michel Denis, President & Chief Executive Officer, to present the new roadmap for the Manitou Group through to 2018 and to declare: "The group plans to remain the key player in its target markets, to develop service offerings which set the reference standards in the market and to reinforce its market shares. The service activity we are structuring and which is expected, in time, to represent 25% of the group's revenues (versus around 18% currently) should contribute to this. We shall be working in special partnership with our dealers, and shall be developing dedicated key account approaches.

We are looking to build structured and sustainable organic growth which outstrips that of the market, enabling the generation of an operating profit of between 6% and 8%.

To achieve these objectives, the immediate priorities are to listen more to customers, anticipate and plan the future via our products and services, and establish with our teams a more responsive, entrepreneurial and efficient organization."
