EXPLANATORY NOTE
On May 16, 2013, at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Gentherm Incorporated, a Michigan corporation (the
"Registrant"), the Registrant's shareholders approved the Gentherm Incorporated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), which the Registrant's Board of Directors had previously approved, subject to such
shareholder approval. The 2013 Plan permits the issuance of a maximum of: (i) 3,500,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), which are reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan
(includes 2,315,578 shares of Common Stock reserved but not used (the "Unused Shares") under the Registrant's 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, f/k/a the Amerigon Incorporated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"), and the
Registrant's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, f/k/a the Amerigon Incorporated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan" and, together with the 2006 Plan, the "Predecessor Plans")); and (ii) an indeterminate number of
shares of Common Stock that are subject to awards under the Predecessor Plans that expire, are terminated, surrendered or cancelled without the delivery of any shares of Common Stock in the case of stock options or are forfeited or reacquired by the
Company in accordance with the terms of the relevant plan in the case of unvested restricted stock award (the "Outstanding Shares"). Upon shareholder approval of the 2013 Plan, all future awards will be made under the 2013 Plan and no
additional awards will be made under Predecessor Plans; provided, however, the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards granted under the Predecessor Plans will not be affected.
The Registrant is filing this Registration Statement to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act") the offer and sale of 1,184,422 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 2013 Plan. This Registration Statement does not register the Unused Shares or the Outstanding Shares, each of which were previously registered by the Registrant on the
following Registration Statements: Registration Statement No. 333-139868, filed with the Commission on January 9, 2007; Registration Statement No. 333-164990, filed with the Commission on February 19, 2010, as amended by the
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, filed with the Commission on March 30, 2011; Registration Statement No. 333-176884, filed with the Commission on September 16, 2011; and Registration Statement No. 333-181975, filed with the
Commission on June 7, 2012 (collectively, the "Prior Registration Statements"). The Registrant is concurrently filing post-effective amendments to such Prior Registration Statements which clarify that the Unused Shares and the
Outstanding Shares may now be issued under the 2013 Plan.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") authorize us, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") require us, to the maximum extent permitted by the Michigan Business
Corporation Act (the "MBCA"), to indemnify each of our officers and directors against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the
fact that any such person is or was an agent of the Registrant, provided that generally such indemnification rights for proceedings initiated by such person will only be available if the proceeding was authorized by the Board. The Articles and
Bylaws authorize us, to the maximum extent permitted by the MBCA, to indemnify each of our other agents against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by
reason of the fact that any such person is or was an agent of the Registrant. For purposes of the Bylaws, an "agent" of the Registrant includes any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Registrant; or is
or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a constituent
corporation of the Registrant absorbed in a merger and the resulting or surviving corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such constituent corporation.
The Articles provide that, to the full extent permitted by the MBCA, or any other applicable laws presently or hereafter in effect, no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the
Registrant or our shareholders for or with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties as a director of the Registrant.
Under Sections 561-571 of the MBCA, directors and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines and amounts paid by the
director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by third persons or by or in the right of the corporation if the statutory standard (defined below) is met. In particular, Section 561 of the MBCA provides that a Michigan
corporation has the power to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether
formal
2
or informal, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding (provided that generally the director did not
(i) receive a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, (ii) intentionally inflict harm on the corporation or its shareholders, (iii) violate Section 551 of the MBCA relating to loans, dividends and distributions, or
(iv) intentionally commit a criminal act, collectively, the "statutory standard"), and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition,
Section 562 of the MBCA provides that a Michigan corporation has the power to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner,
trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or suit if the statutory standard is met. The MBCA does not permit indemnification for a claim, issue or matter in which the person has been found liable to the corporation unless
application for indemnification is made to, and ordered by, the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 563 of the MBCA provides that a director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 561 and 562 of the
MBCA, or in defense of a claim, issue, or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding, shall be indemnified by the corporation against actual and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by him or her in connection with the
action, suit or proceeding, and an action, suit, or proceeding brought to enforce this mandatory indemnification.
The
foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of the MBCA, the Articles and the Bylaws.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof)
which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offer thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
4
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
