Upon consummation of the transactions described in the Definitive Agreements (the “Transactions”), SpinCo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Gentherm.\n\nIn connection with the Transactions, Gentherm has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-297224) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which included a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, on August 12, 2026.
