Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 7, 2022, Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Hyundai Doosan Infracore Co., Ltd. f/k/a Doosan Infracore Co., Ltd. (“Doosan”) entered into Addendum #11 (the “Addendum”) to the Supply Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2007 (the “Supply Agreement”), by and between Doosan and the Company, as amended from time to time.

The Addendum removes the Company’s exclusivity to purchase and distribute specified Doosan engines with territory of the United States, Canada and Mexico. The addendum also removes minimum product purchase commitments and related performance penalties imposed on the Company except for the 2021 outstanding balance. The Addendum expands the Company’s sales and service territory of Doosan’s products to the United States of America, Canada, Mexico and any other market where the parties have agreed to a non-binding forecast. The Addendum establishes the purchase price of Doosan products for the remainder of 2022 and allows the parties to negotiate the pricing for 2023 and future years. The Addendum does not modify the term of the Supply Agreement, which ends on December 31, 2023, after which the Addendum will automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless written notice of termination is provided by either party at least three months prior to the scheduled expiration. The Addendum supplants all prior addenda. The terms of the Addendum and the Supply Agreement govern the rights and obligations of the parties.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Addendum, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

For further information regarding the Supply Agreement, see a copy of the Supply Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.12 to Amendment No. 4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 29, 2011, filed with the Commission on August 12, 2011.
