<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February 20, 2013, the Board
of Directors (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;) of Wabash National Corporation (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) appointed Ann D. Murtlow to the
Company&rsquo;s Board and to the Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees. Ms. Murtlow is currently the
principal in a consulting firm, AM Consulting LLC, which provides business strategy and leadership consulting to businesses, non-profit
organizations and academic institutions. Prior to forming her own firm, Ms. Murtlow was an AES Corporation executive and became
one of the few female CEO&rsquo;s in the electric utility industry.&nbsp; In her most recent position, she was the President and
Chief Executive Officer at Indianapolis Power &amp; Light Company. The appointment of Ms. Murtlow brings the Company&rsquo;s Board
to seven members.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">In connection with her appointment to the
Board, Ms. Murtlow entered into the form of Director Indemnification Agreement adopted by the Board on July 30, 2009, which is
attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company&rsquo;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 4, 2009.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ms. Murtlow will be compensated consistent with the Company&rsquo;s policy for non-employee directors
as in effect from time to time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent with that policy, Ms. Murtlow will receive a pro-rated portion of the $40,000
cash portion of the annual retainer for Board members for 2013 and, if reelected at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it
is expected that she will receive the restricted stock portion of the annual retainer, which is paid in restricted stock having
a value equivalent to $75,000.&nbsp;&nbsp;The current policy for non-employee director compensation also provides a per meeting
fee of $1,800 for personal attendance at Board and Committee meetings or $900 per meeting attended by telephone.</P>
