<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On May 16, 2017, Stoneridge, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
entered into, and closed on, the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Quotas of Capital of PST Eletr&ocirc;nica LTDA (&ldquo;PST Agreement&rdquo;)
with Adriana Campos De Cerqueira Leite, a Brazilian citizen (&ldquo;Leite&rdquo;), and Marcos Ferretti (&ldquo;Ferretti&rdquo;),
a Brazilian citizen, as sellers, and PST Eletr&ocirc;nica LTDA (&ldquo;PST&rdquo;), as guarantor. Pursuant to the PST Agreement, on
May 16, 2017, the Company acquired from Leite and Ferretti a 26% minority (quota) interest in PST in exchange for (i) cash consideration
of $1,500,000, and (ii) a contingent payment obligation in either 2021 or 2022 based on an EBITDA formula [(EBITDA x 4.0) x 0.26]
using PST&rsquo;s EBITDA (as calculated pursuant to the PST Agreement) in either 2020 or 2021. Both sellers may chose the year
(either 2020 or 2021) to be used to calculate the PST&rsquo;s EBITDA for purposes of the contingent payment obligation. As a result
of the PST Agreement, the Company is the 100% equity (quota) holder of PST. Because the purchase of PST&rsquo;s noncontrolling
interest will be accounted for as an equity transaction,  no gain or loss will be recognized.</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">PST primarily serves the South American automotive and motorcycle

alarms, convenience accessories, vehicle tracking devices and monitoring services. PST&rsquo;s product lines include alarms, convenience
applications, vehicle monitoring and tracking devices and infotainment systems. These products improve the performance, safety
and convenience features of customer vehicles. PST sells its products through the aftermarket distribution channel, to factory
authorized dealer installers, also referred to as original equipment services, direct to OEMs and through mass merchandisers.</P>
