Amerigon Comments on Distribution of Additional Class A Warrants; Announces Record Date and Process For 1-For-5 Reduction In Total Number Of Class A Warrants

    IRWINDALE, Calif., April 5 Amerigon Incorporated
said today that as previously announced on March 30, 2000,
each Class A Warrant (OTC Bulletin Board: ARGNW) holder of record as of March
27, 2000 will receive an additional 0.0352 Class A Warrant for each Class A
Warrant held.  The Company expects to mail the additional warrants during the
week of April 17, 2000.  Class A Warrant holders will not be required to
surrender their existing warrant certificates in connection with the
distribution of the additional warrants.
    Following the distribution of the additional Class A Warrants, there will
be approximately 7,343,775 Class A Warrants outstanding.  Five Class A
Warrants must be exercised to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an
exercise price of $24.149.
    The Company also announced that a record date of April 18, 2000 has been
set for the previously announced 1-for-5 reduction of its outstanding Class A
Warrants.  On April 18, 2000, each five outstanding Class A Warrants,
including the Class A Warrants to be distributed as described above, will
represent one Class A Warrant entitling each Class A Warrant holder to
purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $24.149.
The total number of Class A Warrants after the reduction will be approximately
1,468,755 (down from approximately 7,343,775).
    No action is required by Class A Warrant holders with regard to the
reduction in the number of warrants outstanding, as the outstanding Class A
Warrant certificates will, commencing April 18, 2000, represent the reduced
number of warrants.  The Company plans, however, to send to the Class A
Warrant holders a letter recommending that each Class A Warrant holder
surrender their warrant certificate and receive a new warrant certificate
representing the adjusted number of warrants.

Class A Warrant certificate exchange.  All questions concerning the Warrant
exchange should be directed to Jill Conner at Allen & Caron at (800) 452-1346.
