</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">This Amendment No.&nbsp;1 on Form 10-K/A (the &#147;Amendment&#148;) amends the annual report of The Gorman-Rupp
Company (the &#147;Company&#148;) on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March&nbsp;5, 2009 (the &#147;Original Filing&#148;). This Amendment
corrects the &#147;Executive Officers of the Registrant&#148; section on pages 9 and 10 in Part&nbsp;I of the
Original Filing to remove the positions of Vice President Finance and Assistant Treasurer. These
positions, established effective April&nbsp;24, 2008 as part of succession planning for the retirement
of two executive officers during 2009, are transitional as of December&nbsp;31, 2008. Other than the
changes referred to above, all other information in the Original Filing remains unchanged.
