(formerly A.S.V., LLC) (the “Company”) completed its underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 3,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 1,800,000 shares sold by the Company and 2,000,000 shares sold by Manitex International, Inc. (“Manitex”), a selling stockholder in the IPO, at a price to the public of $7.00 per share. A.S.V. Holding, LLC, a subsidiary of Terex Corporation (“Terex”) and a selling stockholder in the IPO, has granted a 45-day option to the underwriters to purchase up to 570,000 additional shares of common stock solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

On May 12, 2017, in connection with the pricing of the IPO, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as representative of the underwriters listed on Schedule I thereto, and the selling stockholders listed on Schedule II thereto. The description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into certain agreements that govern the Company’s ongoing relationships with Terex and Manitex following the LLC Conversion (as defined in Item 5.03 below) and the IPO, including a separation agreement, an employee matters agreement and a registration rights agreement.

Separation Agreement

On May 11, 2017, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Manitex and Terex (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement provides for, among other things, the formal allocation of rights to assets and responsibility for liabilities relating to the Company’s business and the rights and responsibilities of Manitex and Terex for assets and liabilities unrelated to the Company’s business. To the extent any such assets and liabilities are not currently held by the party that will retain such assets and liabilities, the Separation Agreement provides for the transfer of such assets and liabilities to the appropriate party. The Separation Agreement also provides further assurances and covenants between Manitex, Terex and the Company to ensure that the separation of the Company’s business from Manitex and Terex is executed pursuant to the Company’s intent and that commercially reasonable efforts will be taken to do all things reasonably necessary to consummate and make effective the separation of its business from those of Manitex and Terex.

In general, the Company retains liabilities relating to the employment, compensation and benefits of current and former employees of its business, including liabilities relating to medical benefits and COBRA, workers’ compensation and any other claims and litigation. In addition, the Employee Matters Agreement provides for the conversion of Manitex equity awards held by the Company’s employees in connection with the IPO.
