<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Newport Beach, CA &#150; June&nbsp;8, 2020 &#150; American Vanguard Corp. (NYSE:AVD) announced voting results arising from the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
held on June&nbsp;3, 2020. In summary, all measures on the ballot passed. Thus, the following nominees - Scott D. Baskin, Lawrence S. Clark, Debra F. Edwards, Morton D. Erlich, Emer Gunter, Alfred F. Ingulli, John L. Killmer, Eric G. Wintemute, and
M. Esmail Zirakparvar&#151;were <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-elected</FONT> to serve as directors until the next annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified; the appointment of BDO USA, LLP as the company&#146;s
independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2020 was ratified; the executive compensation policies and practices as set forth in the 2020 proxy were approved and the frequency of the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">say-on-pay</FONT></FONT> disclosure in our proxy will be annual (as it has been). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
addition, at a meeting of the board following the company&#146;s Annual Meeting, the Company&#146;s directors elected to suspend the quarterly cash dividend. Eric Wintemute, Chairman and CEO of American Vanguard, stated, &#147;While we feel we are
well positioned to guide our company through the uncertainty of the COVID pandemic, we remain committed to our plan of improving our balance sheet. In that vein, we intend to manage all expenses that are within our control, including operating
costs, capital expenditures and &#150; even while not material by itself &#150; the dividend. Further, over the past two months, we have beta-tested seven SIMPAS<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> systems over thousands of
acres across the Midwest, and the results have exceeded our expectations. Having accomplished this, we are poised to move forward with our 2021 launch. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">build-out</FONT> of SIMPAS systems and Ultimus<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&#153;</SUP> SmartCartridges<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">&reg;</SUP> will require capital, and we need to ensure that we have adequate inventory to meet grower demand for these units. Our
board will, of course, revisit the possibility of declaring a cash dividend at our next quarterly meeting. In short, while we are confident in our ability to address our markets and serve our customers, we believe it is prudent to maximize our
liquidity so that we can manage our own working capital needs while preserving our ability to reinvest in technology innovation initiatives at this time.&#148; </P>
