NORTHVILLE, Mich., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amerigon Incorporated (Nasdaq: ARGN), a leader in developing and marketing products based on advanced thermoelectric (TE) technologies for a wide range of global markets and applications, today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel R. Coker will ring the ceremonial NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell, on June 21st, at the NASDAQ MarketSite on Broadway in Times Square in New York City.

The bell-ringing ceremony will be webcast live on the MarketSite Live Webcam on NASDAQ's website (http://www.nasdaq.com/reference/marketsite_about.stm), beginning at 3:50 p.m. Eastern Time. It will also be broadcast at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on national business television on CNBC and BloombergTV.

"Amerigon's participation in the NASDAQ market close is both an honor and an acknowledgement of the outstanding work of our employees and partners, and all they have achieved over the past several years," said Coker. "The NASDAQ Stock Market is home to companies that serve as leaders across all areas of business and Amerigon is pleased to be a part of this prestigious group."

Amerigon began trading on NASDAQ in 1993. In February of this year, Amerigon met the stringent requirements to move up from The NASDAQ Capital Market to The NASDAQ Global Market.

Amerigon announced last week that it shipped its three millionth Climate Control Seat(TM) (CCS(TM)) system, a significant milestone for the Company which began commercial shipments of the system in late 1999. CCS, the Company's current principal product, is the only system on the global seat market that allows the driver and passengers to actively heat or cool their seats individually for personal comfort at any time of the year. The Company also recently announced its first non-automotive application of its proprietary TE technology, a personal heating and cooling system for the desktop.
