Amerigon Announces Trading Symbol To Change To THRM And Proposed Corporate Name Change To Gentherm

Amerigon Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARGN] announced today that, effective June 13, 2012, its trading symbol will be changed from ARGN to THRM. The Company's CUSIP number remains unchanged. In addition, the Company announced its intention to formally change its name to Gentherm Incorporated. The Company will begin doing business as Gentherm, effective June 13, 2012, and a special meeting of the Company's stockholders will be held on September 5, 2012, to approve an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to reflect the name change. The symbol and name changes were made to better reflect the new capabilities and broader global reach of the Company following its acquisition of a majority interest in Germany-based W.E.T. Automotive Systems AG, noted President and CEO Daniel R. Coker. "We are a new company today as a result of the addition of W.E.T. and we have changed our name to reflect that," Coker said. "We believe this is a very natural partnership, one that makes us a much larger company with a broader corporate reach, new products, new manufacturing capabilities and a new team of innovative, complementary engineers. We have always focused on thermal technologies, as has W.E.T., but today we can offer a much wider range of products and services to our customers wherever they are situated around the world."
