To All Amerigon Employees:

As a part of Amerigon's continuing desire to comply with all lawful and ethical business practices consistent with recently passed securities reform legislation, Amerigon has adopted a Policy and Procedure for reporting of complaints and concerns regarding its accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters.

Company Policy

Amerigon encourages employees to promptly report all such complaints or concerns. Toward this end, Amerigon has retained the services of an outside, independent firm to administer a 24-hour hotline, available every day of the year, that will provide for the anonymous reporting of any complaints and concerns concerning Amerigon's accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters.

Procedure for Use of the Anonymous Reporting Hotline

To report your concerns about Amerigon’s accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters through the hotline, employees should follow the procedure below:

1. Dial 1.888.883.1499 (toll free) to be connected to a trained intake specialist.
2. Give the intake specialist the Company name (Amerigon Inc.).
3. You will be asked to provide a personal information number (PIN) or password, which you will select.
4. Your report will then be assigned a unique "File ID," which you will need to record for future reference.
5. The intake specialist will ask you for a detailed description of the factual basis for your complaint or concern. This is necessary to ensure Amerigon has sufficient information to conduct an appropriate investigation, if necessary.

The anonymous report will be forwarded to the Company's Compliance Officer and the Chairman of its Audit Committee for their investigation and response. You may call the toll-free number again to provide any additional information, or if you want to inquire about the status of an investigation.

Non-Retaliation Policy

While complaints and concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters may be made on an anonymous basis, employees are encouraged to give their identity so that Amerigon can contact the employee in the event further information is needed to pursue an investigation. In any case, the identity of the employee making a report will be maintained in confidence in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Amerigon will not allow any form of harassment or retaliation to be made against any employee for any such reports made in good faith.
