Our acquisition of IPC, the largest in Tennant&#8217;s history, and its continued, successful integration, is a true testament to Tom&#8217;s leadership and excellence as Tennant&#8217;s CFO. On behalf of everyone at Tennant, I would like to thank Tom for his service and dedication and wish him all the best in his retirement. We are committed to identifying a successor of equal caliber and to ensuring a seamless transition with Tom&#8217;s assistance.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:174%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#8220;It has been a privilege to work alongside the talented people at Tennant, and I am proud of all that we have accomplished together,&#8221; Tom said. &#8220;With a transformative year behind us and the integration of IPC on track, I have decided that this is a good time to begin planning for my next chapter. I have the utmost confidence in Chris&#8217;s leadership and in the entire management team&#8217;s ability to execute on Tennant&#8217;s business objectives to position the company for long-term success. I look forward to seeing what Tennant will accomplish in the years ahead.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><br></font></div><div><br></div><div><div style="line-height:138%;padding-bottom:13px;text-align:center;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">(more)</font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div><a name="s8A3A8E68A0FF581B4D14CD7973F48C6E"></a></div><div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:left;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Page </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">2</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">&#32;&#8211; Tennant Company SVP and Chief Financial Officer Tom Paulson to Retire</font></div></div><div><br></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Company Profile</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Founded in 1870, Tennant Company (TNC), headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a world leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that empower customers to achieve quality cleaning performance, reduce their environmental impact and help create a cleaner, safer, healthier world.
