Power Solutions International Announces Additional $30 Million Shareholder Loan Agreement With Weichai America

WOOD DALE, Ill., April 21, 2022 — Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (OTC Pink: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced today that it entered into an additional shareholder’s loan agreement with its majority stockholder, Weichai America Corp. (“Weichai”), dated as of April 20, 2022 (the “Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement”). The Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement, which matures on March 31, 2023, provides the Company with access to up to $30 million of credit at the discretion of Weichai to supplement the Company’s working capital. The Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement is subordinated in all respects to the Company’s existing $130 million uncommitted senior secured revolving credit facility with Standard Chartered Bank (all of which has been fully borrowed as of April 20, 2022).

Borrowings under the Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement will incur interest at the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 4.65% per annum. Further, if the applicable term SOFR is negative, the interest rate per annum shall be deemed as 4.65% per annum. If the interest rate for any loan is lower than Weichai’s borrowing cost, the interest rate for such loan shall be equal to Weichai’s borrowing cost plus 1%. As of April 20, 2022, PSI had not borrowed any funds under the Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement.

Lance Arnett, chief executive officer, commented, “We are pleased with the added liquidity that this loan provides us with. We appreciate Weichai’s continued support of PSI as we execute on the Company’s business objectives and work to generate improved financial results.”

Additional details on the Fourth Shareholder’s Loan Agreement can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2022.
