(the &#8220;Company&#8221;), upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, approved the addition of Geoffrey Davies , Executive Vice-President  &amp; Managing Director of Alamo Group Europe Ltd., as a participant of the Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the &#8220;SERP&#8221;) with his participation to commence as of January 1, 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company's SERP is intended to provide to certain executive officers a benefit from the Company upon retirement, death or disability, or a change in control of the Company.&#160; Accordingly, the SERP obligates the Company to pay to a participant a Retirement Benefit (as defined in the SERP) upon the occurrence of certain events to the extent a participant has a vested right thereto.&#160; A participant&#8217;s right to his Retirement Benefit becomes vested upon completing 10 years of Credited Service (as defined in the SERP) or upon a change in control of the Company.  In connection with a retirement or separation from service, payment of vested benefits occur after the participant reaches age 65.&#160; Since Mr. Davies has already completed more than 10 years of Credited Service, his Retirement Benefit will be vested immediately at the time when he becomes a participant of the SERP on January 1, 2018.  Mr. Davies' Retirement Benefit will be based upon 17% of his final three year base salary average.&#160; In the event of Mr. Davies' death or a change in control, the vested portion of the Retirement Benefit will be paid in a lump sum to Mr. Davies or his estate, as applicable, within 90 days after the death or a change in control, as applicable.&#160; In the event the participant is entitled to a benefit from the SERP due to disability, retirement or other termination of employment, the benefit will be paid in monthly installments over a period of fifteen years.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="se3a531e319a34f98aa61bf78ddeaafe4"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">SIGNATURES </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:left;text-indent:32px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned authorized officer. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:50%;"></td><td style="width:50%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Alamo Group Inc.</font></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">November 3, 2017</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">By:&#160; </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">/s/ Edward T.
