Amerigon Adjusts Publicly Traded Warrants As a Result of Private Placement

    IRWINDALE, Calif. - Amerigon Incorporated said today that the completion of 
its previously announced $12.5 million private placement of 2.5 million restricted 
shares of its Common Stock has resulted in a reduction in the exercise price of 
its publicly traded Class A Warrants and an increase in the total number of 
shares of Amerigon Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class A Warrants.  
These adjustments are being made due to anti-dilution provisions of the Company's
existing Warrant Agreement.

    The exercise price of each Class A Warrant has been reduced to $17.795
from $24.149 and the total number of Class A Warrants outstanding has
increased by 524,486 to 1,993,264.  Each Class A Warrant, when exercised,
allows the holder of the Warrant to purchase one share of Amerigon Common
Stock.

    To issue the additional Warrants to holders of the Class A Warrants,
Amerigon will distribute an additional .357 Warrants for each Warrant held by
Class A Warrant holders of record as of June 14, 2000.  No action is required
by holders of the Company's Class A Warrants with regard to the reduction in
the exercise price of each Class A Warrant or the increase in the number of
Class A Warrants.
