OVERVIEW

Tennant Company is a manufacturer of floor cleaning machines, parts and accessories, as
well as floor coatings. Founded in 1870, Tennant is headquartered in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, and has manufacturing facilities in Holland, Michigan, and Uden, The
Netherlands. Our products are marketed worldwide under the brand names Tennant, Castex and
Nobles. We sell and service products directly in eight countries and through distributors
in 45 others.
Tennant's mission is to become the preeminent company in
nonresidential floor maintenance equipment, floor coatings and related products. We will
achieve this by continuing to implement strategies that leverage our strengths:
- Making an industry-leading R&D investment, plus
acquisitions, which allow us to regularly introduce new or significantly upgraded
products, and enter new markets.
- Using technology to create more efficient and
effective operations, to better serve customers and support growth.
- Using multichannel product distribution to increase
market penetration.
- Building upon our international market penetration,
which generated 27% of our 1998 revenues.
- Reaching growing niche markets, which helps counter
cyclicality in other areas.
- Using our strong financial condition to fund continued
expansion.
Worldwide revenues for Tennant Company were $389
million in 1998. Our shares are traded on the Nasdaq National Market System under the
symbol TANT. SEC filings including quarterly financial reports can be viewed online at
