He will also be entitled to receive the benefit of the Company&#8217;s group health insurance coverage for up to 24 months post-retirement with the Company paying the COBRA premium costs. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, for the period commencing upon the Retirement Date through the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Mr.&#160;Wintemute will continue to serve as Chairman and voting member of the Company&#8217;s board of directors (for which he will be entitled to receive <span style="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</span> director compensation) and will provide advisory consulting services (up to 30 hours per month) for a flat monthly fee of $12,594. Upon the Retirement Date, Mr.&#160;Wintemute&#8217;s unvested equity awards (i.e., those made in 2022, 2023 and 2024) will be deemed to be accelerated and vested in an amount <span style="white-space:nowrap">pro-rated</span> to reflect the correspondence between the vesting schedule of such shares and the Retirement Date. In the case of performance-based shares, the number of shares to be <span style="white-space:nowrap">pro-rated</span> will be the target amount of each applicable grant. In addition, certain of Mr.&#160;Wintemute&#8217;s incentive equity awards received in lieu of cash incentive compensation will become fully vested. All of Mr.&#160;Wintemute&#8217;s vested and unexercised options will be deemed to be exercisable for the duration of their applicable exercise period. </p> <p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Transition Agreement also includes mutual releases of claims by both parties. </p> <p style="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&#160;</p>

Beach, CA &#150; July&nbsp;8, 2024 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) today reported that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Eric G. Wintemute, has presented to the board his plan to retire from his position as CEO. The terms of
his retirement are set forth in a Transition Agreement under which Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will participate in the search for his successor being conducted by the global executive search firm, Kincannon&nbsp;&amp; Reed, and retire upon the
successor&#146;s appointment but no later than December&nbsp;31, 2024. Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and, post-retirement, will provide consulting services to the company on a part-time basis. Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute
joined the company 47 years ago and has served as CEO for 30 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute stated, &#147;Over the past four decades, I have poured myself
into building, nurturing and growing this business. Indeed, over that time, American Vanguard has become the business of my life. What began as a small formulation facility in Southern California with revenues of $1.5&nbsp;million has, through over
70 acquisitions of branded products and companies, grown to become an NYSE-traded, global enterprise with revenues of $600&nbsp;million dollars, six North American factories and operations in 21 countries. I know how it all began, how it all fits
together and who has helped to move this operation forward each step of the way. I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">He continued,
&#147;We are currently deep in the process of transformation, both digital and operational, with the goal to maximize EBITDA and hence valuation. In the interest of allowing American Vanguard to become a better version of itself, I will hand the
reins to a well-qualified successor to build upon what we have done well, to change what can be strengthened, and to help usher in a new generation to lead this business. To those colleagues who will carry on after me and to all who have worked with
me in the past, I want you to know that you have been my inspiration, my motivation and the reason for my many years of dedication. I thank you sincerely for your service.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;On behalf of the American Vanguard board of directors, I&#146;d like to express my gratitude to Mr.&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;G. Wintemute for serving with such
energy and passion as our CEO for more than 30 years,&#148; said Scott D. Baskin, lead director of the board. &#147;As Eric&#146;s tenure comes to a close, we acknowledge his steadfast contributions and thank him for his years of service.
Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute successfully led the growth of this organization over those 30 years, and due to his vision and guidance, American Vanguard has become a multi-faceted, global platform, serving hundreds of companies around the world.&#148;
Mr.&nbsp;Baskin closed by stating, &#147;We are deeply indebted to Eric for his great dedication and contributions to the company and wish him well in the next chapters of his life.&#148; </P>

Beach, CA &#150; July&nbsp;8, 2024 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) today reported that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Eric G. Wintemute, has presented to the board his plan to retire from his position as CEO. The terms of
his retirement are set forth in a Transition Agreement under which Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will participate in the search for his successor being conducted by the global executive search firm, Kincannon&nbsp;&amp; Reed, and retire upon the
successor&#146;s appointment but no later than December&nbsp;31, 2024. Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and, post-retirement, will provide consulting services to the company on a part-time basis. Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute
joined the company 47 years ago and has served as CEO for 30 years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute stated, &#147;Over the past four decades, I have poured myself
into building, nurturing and growing this business. Indeed, over that time, American Vanguard has become the business of my life. What began as a small formulation facility in Southern California with revenues of $1.5&nbsp;million has, through over
70 acquisitions of branded products and companies, grown to become an NYSE-traded, global enterprise with revenues of $600&nbsp;million dollars, six North American factories and operations in 21 countries. I know how it all began, how it all fits
together and who has helped to move this operation forward each step of the way. I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">He continued,
&#147;We are currently deep in the process of transformation, both digital and operational, with the goal to maximize EBITDA and hence valuation. In the interest of allowing American Vanguard to become a better version of itself, I will hand the
reins to a well-qualified successor to build upon what we have done well, to change what can be strengthened, and to help usher in a new generation to lead this business. To those colleagues who will carry on after me and to all who have worked with
me in the past, I want you to know that you have been my inspiration, my motivation and the reason for my many years of dedication. I thank you sincerely for your service.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;On behalf of the American Vanguard board of directors, I&#146;d like to express my gratitude to Mr.&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;G. Wintemute for serving with such
energy and passion as our CEO for more than 30 years,&#148; said Scott D. Baskin, lead director of the board. &#147;As Eric&#146;s tenure comes to a close, we acknowledge his steadfast contributions and thank him for his years of service.
Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute successfully led the growth of this organization over those 30 years, and due to his vision and guidance, American Vanguard has become a multi-faceted, global platform, serving hundreds of companies around the world.&#148;
Mr.&nbsp;Baskin closed by stating, </P>

Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Effective as of July&nbsp;3, 2024, American Vanguard Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148; or
&#147;Registrant&#148;) and Eric Wintemute, the Company&#146;s Chairman and CEO, entered into a Transition Agreement, which set forth the terms and conditions of Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute&#146;s retirement. In summary, that agreement provides as follows.
Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will continue to serve in his role as CEO until the earliest to occur of (i)&nbsp;the date that a new CEO commences employment, (ii)&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2024, (iii) termination of his employment or (iv)&nbsp;his death (the
&#147;Retirement Date&#148;). In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will participate in the search for his successor, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and, post-retirement, will serve as a
consultant on a part-time basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The material terms of the Transition Agreement are summarized as follows. In connection with his retirement, in addition
to accrued vacation, Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will receive cash in the amount of two times the sum of his annual base salary plus his average bonus as measured over the past three years, which total sum is $2,298,461, to be paid over two years. He will
also be entitled to receive incentive cash compensation, if any, for service in 2024 based upon the Company&#146;s actual performance during fiscal year 2024 to be paid at the time such bonuses are otherwise paid to other active employees. He will
also be entitled to receive the benefit of the Company&#146;s group health insurance coverage for up to 24 months post-retirement with the Company paying the COBRA premium costs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, for the period commencing upon the Retirement Date through the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute will continue to serve as
Chairman and voting member of the Company&#146;s board of directors (for which he will be entitled to receive <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> director compensation) and will provide advisory consulting services (up to 30 hours
per month) for a flat monthly fee of $12,594. Upon the Retirement Date, Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute&#146;s unvested equity awards (i.e., those made in 2022, 2023 and 2024) will be deemed to be accelerated and vested in an amount <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-rated</FONT> to reflect the correspondence between the vesting schedule of such shares and the Retirement Date. In the case of performance-based shares, the number of shares to be
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-rated</FONT> will be the target amount of each applicable grant. In addition, certain of Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute&#146;s incentive equity awards received in lieu of cash incentive compensation will become fully
vested.&#8195;All of Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute&#146;s vested and unexercised options will be deemed to be exercisable for the duration of their applicable exercise period. </P>
