KIRKLAND, QC, Oct. 10, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Manitex Capital Inc. ("Manitex") announces that it has acquired convertible debenture units ("Units") of Ortho Regenerative Technologies Inc. ("Ortho RTI") in consideration of the conversion of loans that were owed by Ortho RTI in its favor for an aggregate principal amount of $894,000.

Each Unit consists of one 10% unsecured convertible debenture for a principal amount of $1,000 (each, a "Debenture") convertible at a $0.30 price per Class "A" share of Ortho RTI ("Common Share") and 2,000 Common Share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant"), with an exercise price of $0.50 ("Exercise Price"), representing a 60% warrant coverage. The Warrants will automatically convert into Common Shares of Ortho RTI at the Exercise Price in the event that the volume weighted average price over any 20 consecutive trading days is greater or equal to $1.00. Both the Debentures and the Warrants have a maturity date of October 8, 2021.

Prior to the transaction, Manitex held the following securities of Ortho RTI: (i) 5,108,858 Common Shares and (ii) 500,000 share purchase warrants exercisable into 500,000 Common Shares representing approximately 22.7%, on a partially diluted basis, of Ortho RTI's issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming the exercise in full of all warrants).

As of the date hereof, Manitex has not converted the Debentures or the Warrants. If Manitex were to convert the Debentures and exercise the Warrants, Manitex would be issued an aggregate of 4,768,000 Common Shares after which Manitex would own or have control or direction over 10,376,858 Common Shares representing approximately 35.1% of Ortho RTI''s issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Units were acquired on a private placement basis by Manitex for investment purposes and Manitex may, depending on market and other conditions, convert the principal amount of the Debentures into Common Shares, exercise in whole or in part the Warrants, increase, decrease or change its beneficial ownership over the Common Shares through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, exercise of convertible securities or otherwise.
