Stoneridge, Inc. (the “Company”) and Robert R. Willig,
Jr. (“Willig”), President of Control Devices, reached a mutual agreement that Willig will separate from his employment
with the Company effective March 31, 2020. The Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on March 9, 2020 disclosing Willig’s
separation from service and the Company’s expectation that it would enter into a separation agreement and release with Willig
on or around the separation date.
On March 31, 2020, the Company and Willig entered into a separation
agreement and release (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company and Willig mutually
agreed that Willig’s employment with the Company would end on March 31, 2020 and Willig would be entitled to certain separation
benefits set forth in the Separation Agreement. Willig is entitled to (i) salary continuation for 12 months, (ii), if elected by
Willig, the Company will pay COBRA premiums for Willig and his eligible dependents for 12 months for continued healthcare coverage,
(iii) the vesting of prior equity-based awards in accordance with the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan for a termination
without cause under that plan, and (iv) continued life insurance benefits for 12 months. The Agreement contains confidentiality,
non-disparagement, non-competition and non-solicitation covenants and a release of claims by Willig. The Agreement may be revoked
by Willig until April 7, 2020. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed
as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
