Amerigon Incorporated (the “Company”) has set the date of 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”) for June 24, 2011.

The Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 14a-8”) for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting. In order to be considered timely, any such nomination or proposal must be submitted in writing to Barry G. Steele, Secretary of Amerigon Incorporated, 21680 Haggerty Road, Suite 101, Northville, Michigan 48167, and received no later than April 11, 2011. Any such proposal must comply with federal securities laws or otherwise may be omitted.
For a shareholder proposal that is not intended to be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2011 Annual Meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8, written notice of the proposal or nomination must be received by Barry G. Steele, Secretary of Amerigon Incorporated, 21680 Haggerty Road, Suite 101, Northville, Michigan 48167, no later than May 25, 2011.
