Exhibit 99.1


Safe Harbor Statement under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This presentation contains
statements that are forward-looking in nature which express the beliefs and expectations of management including
statements regarding the Company’s expected results of operations or liquidity; statements concerning projections,
predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results and future economic
performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that
are not historical facts.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “we believe,” “we intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and
similar expressions. Such statements are based on current plans, estimates and expectations and involve a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company's future results, performance or
achievements to differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-
looking statements. These factors and additional information are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and statements in this presentation should be evaluated in light of these important factors. Although
we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results. Forward-
looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update
publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

principles) financial measures in this presentation.  Manitex
believes that this information is useful to understanding its
operating results without the impact of special items. See Manitex’s
