<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Effective August 29, 2016, the Board of Directors of Stoneridge,
Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) elected Robert R. Krakowiak as the Company&rsquo;s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr.
Krakowiak succeeds George E. Strickler in those positions. Mr. Strickler will remain an Executive Vice President of the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Mr. Krakowiak, age 46, served as a Vice President, Treasurer
and Investor Relations at Visteon Corporation from 2012 until August 2016, where his global responsibilities included, among other
things: (i) investor relations; (ii) capital markets, cash management, risk management; and (iii) quarterly earnings call materials,
quarterly earnings conference calls, and all communication with investors. Prior to that Mr. Krakowiak held the following positions
at Owens Corning: from 2009 until 2012, he serviced as Vice President of Finance (Composite Solutions Business), where he was responsible
for all financial, capital, internal and external reporting and overhead planning; from 2008 until 2009, he served as Vice President&ndash;Corporate
Financial Planning and Analysis; from 2006 until 2008, he served as Vice President and Controller (Roofing and Asphalt); and from
2005 until 2006, he served as Assistant Treasurer. Prior to joining Owens Corning, Mr. Krakowiak held various financial positions
at Oxford Automotive (2002 - 2005), Kmart (1996 - 2002), and Ford Motor Company (1992 - 1996). Mr. Krakowiak has an MBA from the
University of Chicago (1996), and a (i) BS (Electrical Engineering) (1992) and (ii) Masters (Electrical Engineering) (1994) both
from the University of Michigan.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Mr. Krakowiak will receive an annual base salary of $400,000,
and starting in 2017 will be eligible to receive a cash bonus under the Company&rsquo;s Annual Incentive Plan (&ldquo;AIP&rdquo;)
at a target amount of 65% of his base salary. For the remainder of 2016 Mr. Krakowiak will also participate in the AIP at the 65%
of base salary level, but any earned payout will be pro-rated for his length of service in 2016. Mr. Krakowiak will receive an
equity-based award pursuant to the Company&rsquo;s 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (&ldquo;LTIP&rdquo;) valued at $500,000 at the
close of business on August 29, 2016. The equity-based award will be a grant of Performance Shares vesting in three years from
the date of grant: (i) 45% will be time-based and will vest provided that Mr. Krakowiak remains employed; (ii) 30% will be performance-based
using a total return to shareholders metric and will vest depending on continued employment and the Company&rsquo;s performance
for the three years ended December 31, 2018; and (iii) 25% will be performance-based using an earnings per share metric and will
vest depending on continued employment and the Company&rsquo;s performance for the three years ended December 31, 2018. Subject
to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, it is expected that Mr. Krakowiak will annually receive
an award under the LTIP valued on the grant date in an amount equal to 125% of his then current base salary. Mr. Krakowiak will
receive a one-time cash payment in March 2017 of $250,250, less required withholdings. He will participate in the Company&rsquo;s
Officers&rsquo; and Key Employees&rsquo; Severance Plan (as described in and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company&rsquo;s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on October 9, 2009) and will enter into a Change in Control Agreement with the Company (as described in
and substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company&rsquo;s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 21, 2011).
Mr. Krakowiak will also be entitled to the same customary benefits as the other senior executives of the Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Krakowiak
and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer of the Company other than an understanding between the Company
and Mr. Krakowiak regarding his initial compensation and benefits, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Krakowiak
and any of the Company&rsquo;s directors or executive officers. There are no transactions to which the Company is a party and in

S-K. The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Krakowiak.</P>
