Manitou Group — Capital/Financing Update 2013

Dec 18, 2013

Manitou BF announces the launch of a bond issue of €12'500'000.

Ancenis, December 18, 2013 – Manitou will issue a bond of €12'500'000 on December 20, 2013.

The bonds carry a nominal value of €100.000 each. The issue offers a 6 year maturity (December 20, 2019) and a 5.35% coupon bond. The request to be listed on Alternext of the NYSE Euronext stock market in Paris is recorded under ISIN FR0011665553.

The detailed presentation is available on www.manitou-group.com as well as through the Alternext websites.

This issue is subscribed by the Micado France 2019 contractual funds and other qualified investors.

The entire net proceeds from this bond issue will be dedicated to the advance reimbursement of two general purpose loans granted to the company by its banking partners. This bond issue will therefore allow Manitou BF to consolidate its debt without intermediation. This opportunity is done in conjunction with a prior November 2012 bond issue of a €7m.

The bookrunner behind this transaction is Portzamparc Société de Bourse, as leader and bookkeeper and Banque Palatine, as associated leader, both advised by CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre.
