On August 27, 2013, Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Gerald L.

The Separation Agreement provides, among other things, that (i) Mr. Armstrong’s separation will be effective on August 30, 2013, (ii) Mr. Armstrong will continue to receive his current compensation and benefits through August 30, 2013, (iii) the Company will pay Mr. Armstrong twelve (12) months of severance through payroll continuation, in an amount not to exceed $365,981, and (iv) 49,416 shares of Mr. Armstrong’s unvested restricted stock will vest on August 30, 2013.

In the Separation Agreement, Mr. Armstrong agreed to certain non-disparagement covenants, and agreed to cooperate with the Company in support of its business interests on any matter arising out of his employment and to facilitate an orderly transition of his job duties to a successor employee. Mr. Armstrong also agreed to certain confidentiality, noncompetition and non-solicitation covenants. In the Separation Agreement, Mr. Armstrong released and waived any and all claims against the Company and its representatives which may exist or have arisen up to and including the date of the Separation Agreement, including claims that arise out of his employment or relationship with the Company or any of its representatives and the cessation of his employment, except for the enforcement of the Separation Agreement. The Separation Agreement provides that the Change in Control & Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2006 and amended on November 5, 2008 (the “Change in Control Agreement”) will remain in full force and effect until August 30, 2013, and upon Mr. Armstrong’s separation the Change in Control Agreement will be terminated.
