Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 13, 2020, a tornado struck the Company’s facility in Seneca, South Carolina (the “Seneca Plant”), causing damage to the Company’s assets. The Seneca Plant, which is one of the Company’s largest drivetrain plants, was not in operation at the time. The Company is still assessing the full impact of the damage; however, the Company’s insurance policies (less applicable deductibles) are expected to cover the repair or replacement of the Company’s assets that incurred loss or damage. In addition, the Company's insurance policies are expected to provide coverage for interruption to its business, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that have been incurred relating to the damages and losses sustained. Currently, the time to resume operations, partially or in full, cannot be estimated, and we have not yet determined the full impacts to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including the timing of those impacts.
