NFI ANNOUNCES CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER TRANSITION

Brian Dewsnup has been appointed as executive vice-president and chief financial officer of NFI Group Inc., effective March 1, 2024.

Mr. Dewsnup succeeds Pipasu Soni, who has served as CFO since 2020 and is returning to the United States with his family to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Soni will support the transition and smooth handover to Mr. Dewsnup through the second quarter of 2024.

Mr. Dewsnup joined NFI through its 2013 acquisition of North American Bus Industries (NABI). At that time, Mr. Dewsnup served as NABI's CFO and, after its acquisition, as its vice-president and general manager. Mr. Dewsnup subsequently held several positions with NFI, including executive vice-president of business development and then president of NFI Parts. In that role Mr. Dewsnup leads aftermarket sales and support, including training, warranty, publications and customer supply chain management for NFI's North American businesses. Mr. Dewsnup played an instrumental role in consolidating numerous aftermarket businesses into one parts business, grew revenue, combined distribution facilities, improved margins and lowered overall costs.

In 2022, Mr. Dewsnup also took on executive leadership for Arboc specialty vehicles in addition to his NFI Parts responsibilities. A search for Mr. Dewsnup's successor as president of NFI Parts and Arboc is in progress.

Prior to joining NABI, Mr. Dewsnup served as controller of Johns Manville's Waterville operations (a Berkshire Hathaway company) and held various finance positions at Ford Motor Company and at Visteon Corp. Mr. Dewsnup holds both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in mechanical engineering, as well as an MBA in finance, all from Brigham Young University.

"I'm very excited to have Brian become our next chief financial officer," said NFI president and chief executive officer Paul Soubry. "As a former CFO, business development executive and president of two of NFI's subsidiaries, Brian has extensive knowledge of our company, customers, products and markets, and is uniquely qualified for this role. I look forward to working directly with Brian as we increase production rates, capitalize on our record backlog, focus on cash generation, and deliver to our 2024 and 2025 financial targets."

"I want to thank Pipasu for his active leadership and dedication as CFO. Having joined NFI in December, 2019, Pipasu played a critical role in supporting NFI's navigation through the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global supply chain crisis, culminating in the execution of a comprehensive refinancing plan in 2023 that strengthened our financial position and flexibility," Mr. Soubry concluded.
