EXPLANATORY NOTE

On October 3, 2013, Gentex Corporation (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Initial Form 8-K) reporting the completion of its previously announced acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Johnson Controls, Inc. directly and/or through subsidiaries (the "Seller") related to the Seller's wireless vehicle/home communication "HomeLink" business (the "Business"). In accordance with and as permitted by Section 9.01(a)(4) of Form 8-K, the Company is filing this first amendment to the Initial Form 8-K to provide the required financial statements and pro forma financial information that were not filed in the Initial Form 8-K. Except as provided herein, the Initial Form 8-K remains in effect.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements contained in this communication that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "goal," "hope," "may," "plan," "project," "will," and variations of such words and similar expressions. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control, and could cause the Company’s results to differ materially from those described. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, changes in general industry or regional market conditions; changes in consumer and customer preferences for our products; our ability to be awarded new business; continued uncertainty in pricing negotiations with customers; loss of business from increased competition; customer bankruptcies or divestiture of customer brands; fluctuation in vehicle production schedules; changes in product mix; raw material shortages; higher raw material, fuel, and energy costs; unfavorable fluctuations in currencies or interest rates in the regions in which we operate; costs or difficulties related to the integration of any new or acquired technologies and businesses; changes in regulatory conditions; product liability; warranty and recall claims and other litigation and customer reactions thereto; possible adverse results of pending or future litigation or infringement claims; negative impact of any governmental investigations and associated litigations including securities litigations relating to the conduct of our business; integration of the newly acquired HomeLink business; and expansion of product offerings including those incorporating HomeLink technology. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Accordingly, any forward-looking statement should be read in conjunction with the additional information about risks and uncertainties identified under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's latest Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
