On July 12, 2010, Modine Manufacturing Company (the "Company") announced that Michael B. Lucareli has been appointed Vice President, Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, effective immediately.

Mr. Lucareli will serve as the Company's principal financial officer.  Thomas A.

Kampstra, the Company’s Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, will continue to serve as the Company’s principal accounting officer.

Mr. Lucareli, 41, joined the Company in 1999 as Business Development and Investor Relations Manager and served in that role through October 2002.  Mr. Lucareli subsequently served as Director, Business Development and Strategic Planning (November 2002 – May 2004); Director, Financial Operations and Analysis (May 2004 – October 2006); and Managing Director Financial Operations (November 2006 – May 2008).  In May 2008, Mr. Lucareli was appointed an officer of the Company to serve as Vice President, Finance and Corporate Treasurer, the position he held until his appointment as Vice President, Finance, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on July 12, 2010.  Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Lucareli was a securities analyst and portfolio manager for Associated Bank’s investment management group in Green Bay, WI.  He also served as Director of Investment Research for Alpha Investment Group in Milwaukee, WI and as international research analyst for SEI Corporation in Chicago, IL.  Mr. Lucareli holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) and an MBA from Loyola University (Chicago).  He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

The Officer Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in Mr. Lucareli’s annual salary from $190,000 to $250,000, effective immediately, in connection with his promotion but otherwise did not change any other element of his compensation.
