and ergonomically moving, lifting, positioning and securing materials. Key products include hoists, crane components, precision conveyor systems, rigging tools, light rail workstations and digital power and motion control systems. These are highly
relevant, professional-grade solutions that solve our customers&#146; critical material handling requirements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are focused on commercial and
industrial applications that require the safety, reliability and quality provided by our superior design and engineering <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">know-how.</FONT> Our products are used for mission critical applications where we have
established, trusted brands with significant customer retention. Our targeted market verticals include manufacturing, transportation, energy and utilities, process industries, industrial automation, construction and infrastructure, food and
beverage, entertainment, life sciences, consumer packaged goods and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce/supply</FONT> chain/warehousing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
fiscal 2022, we completed our acquisition of Dorner Mfg. Corp. (&#147;<I>Dorner</I>&#148;). Dorner is a leading automation solutions company providing unique, patented technologies in the design, application, manufacturing and integration of
high-precision conveying systems. Dorner is a leading supplier to the stable life sciences, food processing, and consumer packaged goods markets as well as the high growth industrial automation and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-commerce</FONT>
sectors. The addition of Dorner provides attractive complementary adjacencies including sortation and asynchronous conveyance systems. Dorner offers a broad range of precision conveying systems to our product offerings, which include low profile,
flexible chain, large scale, sanitary and vertical elevation conveyor systems, as well as pallet system conveyors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further in fiscal 2022, we completed
our acquisition of Garvey Corporation (&#147;<I>Garvey</I>&#148;), which further expanded our precision conveyance offerings. Garvey is a leading accumulation systems solutions company providing unique, patented systems for the automation of
production processes whose products complement those of Dorner. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Most recently, in May 2023 we completed our acquisition of montratec GmbH
(&#147;<I>montratec</I>&#148;), a leading automation solutions company that designs and develops intelligent automation and transport systems for interlinking industrial production and logistics processes. The acquisitions of Dorner, Garvey and
montratec accelerate the Company&#146;s shift to intelligent motion solutions and serve as a platform to expand capabilities in advanced, higher technology automation solutions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the United States, we are the market leader for hoists, material handling digital power control systems and precision conveyors, our principal lines of
products, and have strong market positions with certain chain, forged fittings, and actuator products. Additionally, in Europe, we believe we are the market leader for manual hoists and a market leader in the heavy load, rail and niche custom
applications for actuation. We have achieved this leadership position through strategic acquisitions, our extensive, diverse, and well-established distribution channels and our commitment to product innovation and quality. We believe the substantial
breadth of our product offerings and broad distribution channels in the United States and Europe provide us a strategic advantage in our markets. The acquisition of STAHL CraneSystems (&#147;<I>STAHL</I>&#148;) in fiscal 2017, which is well-known
for its custom engineering lifting solutions and hoisting technology, advanced our position as a global leader in the production of explosion-protected hoists. STAHL serves independent crane builders and Engineering Procurement and Construction
(&#147;<I>EPC</I>&#148;) firms, providing products to a variety of end markets including automotive, general manufacturing, oil and gas, steel and concrete, power generation, as well as process industries such as chemical and pharmaceuticals. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain provisions of the NYBCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could make our acquisition by a third party or a similar change of control more
difficult. We expect that the provisions described below, and our Board&#146;s right to issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time in one or more classes or series without shareholder approval, as described below, may discourage certain
types of coercive takeover practices and encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that these provisions help to protect our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or
unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that this benefit outweighs the potential disadvantages of discouraging such a proposal because our ability to negotiate with the proponent could result in an improvement of the terms thereto.

majority of the directors then in office; provided, however, that such removal may only be for cause. Any director vacancies for any reason other than from newly created directorships may be filled by a vote of a majority of directors then in
office. Any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our directors may be filled by a vote of a majority of our entire Board, inclusive of vacancies. These provisions may have the effect of preventing our shareholders
from removing incumbent directors, increasing the size or number of our directors or filling vacancies on the Board without the support of our incumbent directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Shareholder meetings</I>. Matters may be brought by our shareholders before an annual or special meeting only in compliance with certain notice procedures
contained in our Bylaws. Our shareholders may bring before an annual meeting a proposal or a nomination for director only if the shareholder delivers a notice of such proposal or nomination to our Secretary not less than 90 and no more than 120 days
prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting of shareholders for the preceding year. A proposal notice must state the text of the proposal and a brief written statement of the reasons why the shareholder favors the proposal. A notice
regarding nomination of a person for director must contain certain information regarding the person nominated, including the number of shares of capital stock of the Company held by such person. Any matters acted upon at a special meeting of our
shareholders are limited to only those matters set forth on our notice of meeting. In the event that we call a special meeting for the purpose of electing directors, a nomination for director may be made by a shareholder if the shareholder has
provided notice of the nomination to our Secretary not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the public announcement of the special meeting. A special meeting of our shareholders can be called only by the Chairman of the Board
or our President. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With certain limitations, Sections 721 through 726 of the NYBCL grant New York corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and former directors and
officers and those of affiliated corporations against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or
proceedings to which they are parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of being or having been such directors or officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions; give a director or officer who successfully defends an action
the right to be so indemnified; and permit a corporation to buy directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. Such indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under <FONT

York corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating the potential monetary liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision
may not eliminate the liability of a director (i)&nbsp;for acts or omissions in bad faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director receives an improper personal
benefit or (iii)&nbsp;for any acts in violation of Section&nbsp;719 of the NYBCL. Section&nbsp;719 provides that a director who votes or concurs in a corporate action will be liable to the corporation for the benefit of its creditors and
shareholders for any damages suffered as a result of an action approving (i)&nbsp;an improper payment of a dividend, (ii)&nbsp;an improper redemption or purchase by the corporation of shares of the corporation, (iii)&nbsp;an improper distribution of
assets to shareholders after dissolution of the corporation without adequately providing for all known liabilities of the corporation or (iv)&nbsp;the making of an improper loan to a director of the corporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation
provides that our directors shall not be liable to us or our shareholders for a breach of their duties to the fullest extent in which elimination or limitation of the liability of directors is permitted by the NYBCL. Our Certificate of Incorporation
includes the provision permitted by Section&nbsp;402(b) of the NYBCL. </P>

person is or was a director or officer of our company or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. We are also obligated to pay the cost of the expenses
incurred by our officers and directors (including attorney&#146;s fees) in defending themselves in such proceedings in advance of final disposition if the officer or director agrees to repay the amount advanced in the event it is ultimately
determined that the officer or director was not entitled to be indemnified by us as authorized by our certificate of incorporation. We are not obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or administrators) in

controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
