<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Generac Holdings Inc. (the &ldquo;company,&rdquo; &ldquo;Generac,&rdquo; &ldquo;we,&rdquo; or &ldquo;our&rdquo;) has filed this report in accordance with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended Rule 13p-1 (&ldquo;Report&rdquo;). Rule 13p-1 was adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;) to implement reporting and disclosure requirements mandated by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Rule 13p-1 imposes reporting obligations on public companies, including us, whose manufactured final products contain one or more conflict minerals that are necessary to the functionality or production of those products. For purposes of the Rule and the related disclosures, the term &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; is defined to include cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold, wolframite, and their derivatives, which are limited to tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold and are referred to in this report as &ldquo;3TG.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Generac is a leading designer and manufacturer of a wide range of power generation equipment and other engine-powered products serving the residential, light commercial, industrial, and construction markets. Generac uses 3TG in some of our products and has undertaken to investigate their origins. As described more fully below, we examined our products for the presence of 3TG and investigated the origins of the 3TG found to be present in identified items. We also conducted a survey of our suppliers for the reporting period ending December 31, 2017. Our standard supplier agreement requires compliance with the content of our Conflict Mineral Policy and applicable laws.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Our due diligence framework was designed to be consistent with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (&ldquo;OECD&rdquo;) <i>OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas</i>. The due diligence measures we performed are presented below according to the five (5) step framework established by the OECD.</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Generac has established a management system to support supply chain due diligence related to 3TG. Our management system includes a Conflict Mineral Steering Committee consisting of a cross-functional senior management team from global trade compliance, supply chain, financial reporting, and legal. Our team is responsible for implementing our conflict minerals program and is led by our Executive Vice President, Strategic Global Sourcing.</p>

<p style="margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">We relied on our direct suppliers to provide information on the origin of any 3TG contained in items that they supply to us &mdash; including any 3TG supplied to them from lower tier suppliers and the origin of the smelters involved in the refining of the material.</p>
