Executive Summary PrimeStone is a long - term value added investor in mid - cap companies . We invest in high quality businesses that can create substantial shareholder value over time . We support their executives and boards by leveraging • Our private equity type due diligence and process acquired over 20 + years investing more than $ 10 bn of equity • Our experience as chairmen or directors of more than 30 boards of public and private companies We have been following the professional cleaning equipment industry, Tennant and Nilfisk for the last 3 years PrimeStone Capital owns more than 5 % of both Tennant and Nilfisk and believes a combination of the two will generate extraordinary returns for shareholders by creating the market leader of the professional cleaning equipment industry We believe synergies will generate EPS accretion in excess of 85 % for both companies on the basis of a merger at current valuations We believe that, together with some of management’s current initiatives, Tennant shares will be worth c . $ 144 in 4 years generating a Total Shareholder Return of c . 23 % per annum or close to 130 % in total We believe the value creation from the m erger will be far in excess and far more certain than in any standalone plan 6

Executive Summary The professional cleaning equipment industry is attractive, characterized by the significant benefits provided by both global and local scale, and still fragmented with the top 4 players accounting for 45 % of the market Tennant and Nilfisk are large players of comparable size with very complementary areas of strength • Tennant is leader in the Americas, much smaller in EMEA and weak in APAC . It is stronger with Industrial customers . It mostly serves its customers directly in Americas and through distributors elsewhere • Nilfisk is a leader in EMEA, much smaller in Americas and weak in APAC . It is stronger with Commercial customers . It mostly serves its customers directly in EMEA and through distributors elsewhere • Both have acquired mid - market brands (IPC and Viper) with complementary geographic coverages Tennant and Nilfisk have historically exploited the benefits provided by local scale and outperformed each other in their respective region of strength over 2005 - 2016 , illustrating the advantage provided by a strong local direct sales force and an in - house service offering Tennant and Nilfisk share the same vision, values and strategy Both face Kärcher , a much larger German family - owned company with ample financial resources and ambitious growth plans We believe the combined entity formed by Tennant and Nilfisk will be a truly global industry leader with # 1 positions in the Americas , EMEA and APAC . Its geographic exposure will mirror that of the overall professional cleaning equipment market 7

Executive Summary We believe merging Tennant and Nilfisk will drive both global and local scale and lead to a step change in operating profitability through • Significant revenue opportunities - Accelerate new product development - Shift current equipment revenues generated through distributors to direct sales - Capture current service and spare parts revenues currently generated by distributors - Accelerate growth in Emerging Markets - … which altogether outweigh the potential dis - synergies • Dramatic cost reductions at both global and local level, that can partially be reinvested in growth - Costs of Goods Sold - Sales, General & Administration - Research & Development Now is the right time • A merger could not have happened sooner since Nilfisk was part of electric cable manufacturer NKT - only an acquisition by NKT could have been envisioned… - …but such a deal would have deprived Tennant’s shareholders from much of the value creation • Nilfisk has now been demerged from NKT and is being re - energized under a new leadership • Tennant’s integration of IPC appears on track and will fit perfectly into Tennant+Nilfisk’s strategy • Tennant’s current operational problems will be solved by the end of Q 1 or Q 2 2018 according to management, by which time the merger should just be approved We believe that Nilfisk’s management, Board and shareholders are likely to support the combination with Tennant 8

Key Transaction Assumptions 20 Transaction Overview Operating Assumptions • Tennant standalone plan reflects – 3.0% organic revenue growth (vs. 3.1% average over the last 10 years) – Profitability improvement from current cost savings plan as well as IPC synergies – Various operating margin scenarios considered between 9% (slightly above the historical peak margins) and up to 12% (management’s mid - term margin target 1 ) • Nilfisk standalone plan reflects – 3.0% organic revenue growth, at the low - end of company guidance (3 - 5%) – Profitability improvement from Accelerate+ cost savings plan – Various operating margin scenarios considered between 9% (slightly above the historical peak margins) and up to 12 % (implied high end of management’s EBITDA margin target range of 13 - 15% 2 ) • Synergies to be realized by 2021 – One - off cost of synergies implementation of 1x gross synergy target • Tennant to merge with Nilfisk in an all - stock transaction at current share price – Reflecting their similar businesses, market positions, leverage levels, and valuations • Exchange ratio of 0.77 Tennant share per Nilfisk share resulting in an ownership of 46% of the Tennant shareholders in the merged entity • Combined cost synergies of $140 million, net of assumed revenue dis - synergies – No revenue synergies assumed at this stage • Group debt refinancing at similar cost – Despite opportunity for better rating Source: Company Reports, PrimeStone estimates Note: 1 Company presentation dated August 2014 ( InvestMNt conference), PrimeStone assumptions 2 Nilfisk CMD presentation September 2017

Density Of Local Sales Force And Service Network A Key Success Factor “It is very difficult for Kaercher or Nilfisk to compete with Tennant in the US, they have to rely on their local dealers for the service offering. Tennant is facing similar problems in Europe.” Former Senior Kaercher Employee, >5 years of senior experience in the industry “ Nilfisk hired a lot of sales people in the US, but they are very reliant on distributors to fulfil the service requirements of direct customers” Former Senior Tennant Employee, >6 years of senior experience in the industry “Tennant has never been very strong in Europe, they were losing sales in EMEA due to lack of footprint and cultural differences” Former Senior Nilfisk Employee, >15 years of senior experience in the industry “ Kaercher has acquired smaller distributors in the US and gained market share over the last years.” Former Kaercher Employee, >4 years of experience in the industry “ Kaercher has been extremely aggressive to gain market share since 2011, poaching many sales & service people globally from other competitors” Former Senior Nilfisk Employee, > 15 years of senior experience in the industry “Future opportunities are more related to geographic expansion of direct sales & service rather than product related“ Former Senior Tennant Employee, >10 years of senior experience in the industry 48 1 Source: Company Reports, PrimeStone interviews

Expanded Network To Improve Reach And Service • Tennant will be able to leverage Nilfisk’s strong direct sales & service network in EMEA and vice versa • Global direct service network will double to ~1.600 direct service employees 4 in a combined entity with a very strong coverage of the US and Europe • Scale will enable to set - up dedicated service organizations for Industrial and Commercial customers with tailored service offerings – Opportunity to improve service quality level and productivity (as per Tennant‘s initiative in Americas) • Scale will also help increase the service attachment rate for in - house service – Opportunity to expand revenues with highly profitable spare parts 1 Source: Company Reports, PrimeStone estimates Notes: 1 Tenant revenue figures 2016 pro - forma including IPC/ Florock 2 Nilfisk revenue figures exclude Specialty Professional and Specialty Consumer segments 3 Tennant sales force and service force according to investor presentation, Nilfisk sales force and service force are PrimeSt one estimates 4 Excluding potential redundancies 49 Americas Tennant 1 Nilfisk 2 Combined Revenues ($m) 638 327 965 Sales Force (FTEs) 3 310 n.a n.a.
