<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;5, 2017, in light of the findings made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the &#147;Audit Committee&#148;) of Power Solutions
International, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) discussed below in Item&nbsp;7.01 of this Form 8-K, the Company&#146;s senior management, in consultation with the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, determined that the Company&#146;s previously
issued consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 and first fiscal quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2015 should be restated to reflect the impact of certain errors involving revenue recognition. The foregoing
financial statements, management&#146;s report on the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year and related reports of the Company&#146;s former independent registered
public accounting firm (which as previously disclosed were withdrawn) should no longer be relied upon. The Company&#146;s chief financial officer has discussed the determination to restate the 2014 fiscal year and 2015 first fiscal quarter financial
statements with its current independent registered public accounting firm. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously disclosed, the Company concluded that it will restate its
consolidated financial statements for (i)&nbsp;the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015 and the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters within such fiscal year, and (ii)&nbsp;the fiscal quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2016. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company continues to assess errors in the timing of revenue recognition and other potential adjustments in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in light of the findings of the Audit Committee. Based on its current assessment, the Company expects its restated financial statements for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years (and the quarterly periods within such fiscal years) will
reflect adjustments that may (i)&nbsp;result in a shift of recognized revenues from prior periods to subsequent periods in the aggregate amount of approximately $48 million to $74 million for the three year period reflecting an increase in revenues
recognized in certain periods and a decrease in revenues in other periods and (ii)&nbsp;reflect a determination that recognized revenues in the aggregate amount of approximately $5 million for the three year period may be treated as uncollectible
accounts receivable or erroneously recognized revenues from the outset. While the estimated revenue adjustments reflect the current assessment of the accounting errors, there can be no assurance that the final adjustments that are made as part of
the restatements will not differ materially from the estimated adjustments. Nor can the Company provide assurance that other errors will not be identified or that prior accounting periods during the course of the Company&#146;s review and
restatement will not be impacted. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

(&#147;Weichai&#148;), dated as of March&nbsp;20, 2017 (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;). In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Gary Winemaster stepped down as Chairman of the Board effective April&nbsp;1, 2017, and Shaojun Sun was elected
as the new Chairman. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to facilitate certain remedial measures adopted by the Company in connection with the previously announced independent
internal review by the Audit Committee, Gary Winemaster resigned as chief executive officer and president of the Company effective April&nbsp;6, 2017, and has transitioned to a new non-executive role as chief strategy officer focused on developing
and facilitating the Company&#146;s relationship with Weichai Power Co., Ltd., an affiliate of Weichai, under the Strategic Collaboration Agreement that was entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Winemaster also has

services and acting in a variety of leadership roles. He has been associated with Huron since 2010. Mr.&nbsp;Anderson has served in a variety of interim officer and board roles in a wide number of industries at both public and private entities. His
public company experience includes former service as a board member and chairman of the audit committee of Youbet.com, Inc., an online gaming company, and chief financial officer of USA Floral Products, Inc., a floral products distributer. The
Company will pay Huron fees for Mr.&nbsp;Anderson&#146;s services based on an hourly rate of $640 per hour. The Company intends to engage an executive search firm and consult other sources to conduct a search for a new, permanent chief executive
officer. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

principal findings include a determination that certain practices of the Company&#146;s sales and accounting functions resulted in revenue recognition not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that there was not an appropriate
tone at the top; that senior sales management did not sufficiently supervise sales staff; and that management did not elevate revenue recognition practice concerns to the Audit Committee. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Form 8-K includes information that constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and
financial performance, and often contain words such as &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; or &#147;will.&#148; By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that are
subject to risks and uncertainties. Any such forward-looking statements may involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results encompassed within the forward-looking statements. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include: the final results of the Audit Committee&#146;s internal review as it impacts the Company&#146;s accounting, accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting; the reasons giving
rise to the resignation of the Company&#146;s prior independent registered public accounting firm; the time and effort required to complete the restatement of the affected financial statements and amend the related Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings;
the inability to file delinquent periodic reports within the deadlines imposed by Nasdaq and the potential delisting of the Company&#146;s common stock from Nasdaq and any adverse effects resulting therefrom; the subsequent discovery of additional
